Overview
888sport was established in 2008 and is one of the brands evoke plc owns and operates, alongside 888casino, 888poker, William Hill and Mr Green. evoke names the UK, Spain and Italy as 888sport's core markets.
UK customers are served by 888 UK Limited, a company incorporated in Gibraltar with its address at 601-701 Europort, which holds Gambling Commission account 39028. That licence covers real-event and virtual betting, casino and bingo, and 888sport.com is among the domains registered to it. William Hill's online business is a separate licensee within the same group.
The sportsbook pairs pre-match and in-play markets with its own tools: BetFinder for studying racing form, BetFeed for following popular bets, and Watch & Bet for UK and Irish racing pictures.

Safer gambling
888sport's tools sit in a Control Center, opened from the shield icon at the top of the site. UK accounts use net deposit limits, so withdrawals add back to the amount you can deposit, and limits can be daily, weekly or monthly. Where more than one is set, the most restrictive applies, and any lower restriction 888 places on the account takes precedence. Time-spent reminders can pop up at intervals such as every 30 minutes.
Take a Break suspends the account for 24 hours, two days, seven days, 14 days, one month or six weeks. Self-exclusion runs for six months or more and cannot be reversed early; returning afterwards involves a one-day cooling-off period. 888sport also points customers to GAMSTOP and to GamCare's National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
