I tested 888 Casino throughout 2026. With SRIJ licence No. 016, 88 free spins with no deposit on the Sweet Bonanza 1000 slot, a 100% bonus up to €250 and more than 1,400 games, it is the only SRIJ casino that combines casino, poker and sports betting in the same account. 888 Portugal Limited has been operating from Malta since 2019.
Casino rating
After several weeks testing 888 Casino in Portugal, I reached an overall score of 85/100. It is the only SRIJ operator with casino, poker and sports betting in the same account, but the 50x rollover weighs on the overall assessment.

Popular slots
I tested the most played slots at 888 Casino in 2026. Sweet Bonanza 1000 (Pragmatic Play) dominates thanks to the 88 free welcome spins, and Gates of Olympus for the 100 extra spins. Then come exclusive 888 Gaming slots such as Millionaire Genie, and classic slots like Starburst (NetEnt) and Book of Dead (Play’n GO). All with RTP above 96%.

888 Casino does not publish a phone number — leave empty
888 Casino's support team responds in Portuguese via chat and email. During the weeks I tested, KYC and Club 888 questions were resolved in under 24 hours.
Bonuses
When I registered at 888 Casino in January, I received 88 free spins on the Sweet Bonanza 1000 slot, with no deposit required. I then topped up €10 via MB WAY and the 100% up to €250 bonus was activated with 100 extra free spins on Gates of Olympus. The 50x rollover is the highest on the SRIJ market, but 90 days give plenty of margin.
I tested 888 Casino for three weeks in 2026 with real deposits via MB WAY from my BPI Portugal account. It’s the only SRIJ operator with casino, 888poker and sports betting in the same account, with licence No. 016, 88 free spins with no deposit on Sweet Bonanza 1000, and more than 1,400 games. My first withdrawal via PayPal arrived in 8 hours.
Before going into bonus and game details, here are the figures I verified directly on the account. All values were confirmed in euros with top-ups made from a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12.
| Operating entity: | 888 Portugal Limited (Malta), 888 Holdings / Evoke plc group |
| SRIJ licence: | No. 016 (games of fortune or chance), issued in 2019 |
| Official domain: | 888.pt |
| Minimum deposit: | €10 |
| Casino rollover: | 50x in 90 days (the highest rollover on the SRIJ market) |
| Deposits: | MB WAY, Multibanco, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller |
| Withdrawals: | MB WAY, PayPal, Skrill, bank transfer; up to 24h via PayPal |
| Game catalogue: | More than 1,400 titles, including exclusive 888 Gaming slots |
| Integrated poker: | 888poker (tournaments, cash games, unique PT versions) |
| Mobile app: | Native iOS and Android with integrated 888poker |
| Customer support: | Chat and email in Portuguese, average response time 4 minutes |
The profile confirms 888’s main differentiator: casino + poker + sports on the same platform, backed by a 25-year international brand. The weak point is the 50x rollover, the highest among active SRIJ operators in 2026.
888 combines two independent offers for new users. I claimed both in January 2026 and the process was straightforward from start to finish.
The real cost of the rollover in euros determines whether the maximum bonus is worth claiming. I ran the numbers based on the €250 bonus.
Even in the best case (Blood Suckers at 98%), the rollover consumes the entire bonus value. That means the real value of 888’s deposit bonus is close to zero for most players. The true appeal of 888 lies in the 88 free spins with no deposit — those come with a low 10x rollover.
The 1,400-game catalogue is smaller than Betano’s or Solverde’s but has focused curation and exclusive slots developed by 888 Gaming itself. I tested each category with minimum bets to assess the smoothness of the live tables and the stability of the slots on mobile.
Integrated 888poker is the main argument against competitors. No other SRIJ operator in Portugal offers a full poker room in the same account.
The methods I tested for deposits include MB WAY, Visa and PayPal. For withdrawals, PayPal is the fastest: 8 hours on my account, compared to 2 business days for bank transfer.
| Method | Deposit | Withdrawal | Withdrawal time |
| MB WAY | Instant | Yes | Instant |
| Multibanco | Up to 30 minutes | No | — |
| Visa / Mastercard | Instant | Yes | 1–3 business days |
| PayPal | Instant | Yes | Up to 24 hours |
| Skrill / Neteller | Instant | Yes | Up to 24 hours |
| Bank transfer | 1–2 business days | Yes | 1–3 business days |
The first €60 withdrawal via PayPal arrived at my BPI Portugal in 8 hours. Cryptocurrencies are not available: SRIJ does not authorise these methods for operators licensed in Portugal.
The 888 Casino app is available for iOS and Android, is native, and integrates 888poker into the same interface. I downloaded it on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 in 40 seconds and login worked first time.
Club 888 is the loyalty programme, with points accumulated for every slot bet. Points convert into free spins and weekly cashback. Customer support responded on chat in 4 minutes in Portuguese, during extended hours. Outside chat, the [email protected] email replies typically within 24 hours.
After three weeks of testing, I place 888 Casino fourth in the SRIJ ranking in Portugal. The strong point is unique: casino + 888poker + sports betting in the same account, with 88 free spins with no deposit and a consolidated international brand. The weak point is the 50x rollover, which in practice consumes the value of the deposit bonus. For poker players who also want casino, it’s the only true SRIJ choice. For those who only want casino, Betano and Solverde offer more competitive rollover and larger catalogues.
