Weaknesses

Reduced RTP game variants detected

888 Casino earns a 7.09/10 overall score in our 2026 review, placing it at rank #15 among Canadian online casinos. With 29 years of operation and an established trust tier, 888 Casino is one of the longest-running online casinos in the world, backed by a publicly traded parent company on the London Stock Exchange. The platform holds top-tier UKGC and MGA licences alongside Ontario iGO authorization, offering 2,000 games with native CAD support and Interac banking. However, a heavier legacy platform, slower mobile performance, and business-hours-only withdrawal processing hold it back from competing with newer, nimbler competitors.

The library is smaller than most modern competitors but prioritises proven titles over aggregator filler.

RTP available in game info panels for most NetEnt and Microgaming titles. 888 proprietary games show RTP only in help files. No lobby-level RTP display. Some older titles lack visible RTP entirely.

Return-to-player analysis reveals 888 Casino offers a median slot RTP of 96.2%, with the 80th percentile range spanning 94.8% to 97.4%. Approximately 55% of games exceed the 96% threshold, while 18% fall below 95% — a wider low-RTP tail than top-ranked competitors. Table games deliver a typical RTP of 97.8% and live dealer games 97.3%. Transparency earns a 6/10 score: RTP is accessible in game info panels for major providers but buried in help files for 888's proprietary titles. Auditing is conducted by eCOGRA. Notably, reduced RTP variants were detected during our audit — Canadian players should verify the RTP version before committing to a title.

High volume of complaints proportional to massive player base. Recurring themes: slow withdrawal processing (48-hour reversal window frustrates players), complex bonus T&C disputes, account verification delays. Some complaints about legacy platform bugs on mobile. No systemic payout fraud — complaints are operational, not integrity-related. Low Trustpilot score (1.9) largely reflects scale bias: 28+ years of operation and millions of players generate outsized complaint volume. AskGamblers resolution rate (72%) is below average for a tier-1 licenced operator.

888 Casino is one of the most established online casinos in the world with 29 years in the industry and an estimated 2,000,000 monthly active players. Publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange, 888 Holdings PLC provides financial transparency rare in the online gambling space. The Casino Guru safety index stands at 8.8/10, reflecting strong regulatory standing. The 1.9/5 Trustpilot rating from 18,500 reviews appears alarming but must be contextualised: at this scale, complaint volume is proportional to the massive player base rather than indicative of systemic issues. AskGamblers rates 888 Casino at 7.2/10 with 680 complaints (72% resolved) — the resolution rate is below average for a tier-1 licenced operator. Google Reviews show 3.2/5 from 4,500 ratings. Licenced by the UKGC and MGA (licence #39028), with additional Ontario iGO authorisation, 888 Casino maintains regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
