All reviewsReview of the bookmaker 888Sport from Legalbet
888 Group came alive back in 1997 when they launched a couple of casino and poker sites. The Sportsbook website, known as 888Sport was launched back in 2008 in order to bring more diversity to its customers. That was probably the best decision they could take at that point, as 888Sport is now the second most important part of the 888 Group.
888Sport is licensed in the UK, Malta and Gibraltar, where its headquarters are also located.

Football
We analysed the odds for the match result outcomes and also the over/under 2.5 goals markets for several different football leagues. Getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.
888Sport has an overall margin of 6.05% for football and falls in the average value category. In the first section with Premier League and Championship, the margin is at 4.93%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Seria A, the margin is at 5.32%. Finally, taking the English Football League One, Polish Ekstraklasa and Russian Premier League into account, the margin is at 7.91%.
Range of Sports and Markets - Good
888Sport is one of the largest bookmakers in Europe, which only means that they offer a wide variety of sports betting. You’re definitely not short of betting options at 888Sport, as they provide over 30 sports to choose from.
Football betting
Football is definitely the main sport here at 888Sports and we can see that from the multitude of leagues and betting markets available. 888Sports covers over 130 leagues from over 50 different countries, which means that punters can wager on almost every league from the English Premier League and Irish Premier Division to more obscure divisions like Liga MX from Mexico or the Egyptian Premier League.
As for the betting markets available, customers can bet on almost everything, from the usual markets such as over/under 2.5 goals, correct score, draw no bet, a double chance to Asian Handicaps, Corners and cards, etc.
The Bet Builder feature is also a great tool for 888Sports customers, as it gives them the ability to combine markets in the same game to build unique match odds.
Horse racing
The horse racing betting section is easy to use, although the next horse races can be seen right on the home page, just below the in-play events. There are racecards available from the domestic UK and Irish racing, as well as International racing from USA, Japan, Australia or South Africa.
The only bad thing on the 888Sports horse racing betting is that there is no tote betting offered. However, there are still plenty of markets available such as win, each-way, place, forecast, tricast, etc. In addition, Best Odds Guaranteed on the UK and Irish horse racing are also available at 888Sports.
Finally, each race card comes with all the important details that a bettor wants, such as horse’s age, weight, jockey info and the recent form.
There are also a couple of ante-posts markets for the major horse racing events such as the Grand National, Melbourne Cup, Cheltenham, Royal Ascot and so on.
In-Play Betting - Good
Live betting is a must for every bookmaker nowadays and it must be said that 888Sports are doing a great job to provide its customers with a lot of in-play action. The range of betting markets differs from sport to sport, so you can find over 150+ markets available on popular football fixtures, 70+ markets for tennis matches and so on.
888Sports do have live streaming service available for several live events, and they do also offer an animated screen with all the key moments of a match. You can also watch live streams of Irish & UK racing for a bet of just €1.
Another big plus is that the Cash Out feature is available for both pre-match and in-play events, which allows you to take control of your bet before the event ends.
