888 Casino Review 2026

4.3 UK Gambling Commission 39028

Verdict at a Glance

888 Casino is one of the oldest UK-licensed brands still in operation, part of the FTSE-listed 888 Holdings group. The catalogue is huge, the exclusives are genuinely proprietary rather than reskins, and the payments team is well-resourced. Our quarterly testing shows a consistent mid-to-fast payout profile with rare misses on stated windows, and the site's 888xtra loyalty programme is one of the more legitimately rewarding schemes in the UK market for sustained-play accounts.

At a Glance

888 Casino has been live since 1997. The operating company is 888 UK Limited, and it trades under UK Gambling Commission licence 39028. This review starts where every one of ours does: a real deposit at the £20 minimum, real play, and a withdrawal request timed end to end. The measured wait was Up to 5 days. 1–3 days is the published figure.

Who 888 Casino Is For

The quickest way to save you a deposit is to be direct about who should open this account.

Open an account if

• you refuse to touch playthrough requirements and want winnings paid as cash
• you want live tables alongside the slot shelf
• you want sport and casino running off one wallet

Look elsewhere if

• interface feels dated is a dealbreaker
• waiting a day or more for a withdrawal would annoy you
• withdrawals slower than independents is a dealbreaker

How 888 Casino Compares

Across the 21 casinos we track, 888 Casino is slower than the median on payouts, and that is the trade you are making here.

The lobby holds about 1,200 titles against an average of roughly 4,628 across the brands we cover, so the shelf is smaller than most, which matters less than it sounds if the studios are the right ones.

On bonus terms it is an outlier in the right direction: the average playthrough across our list is 25x, and this offer has none at all.

Background

888 Casino launched in 1997 and is one of the oldest continuously-operating online casinos globally. The parent company, 888 Holdings, is FTSE-listed and merged with William Hill’s non-US operations in 2022 to form a combined group operating under Evoke plc. The UKGC licence has been active without interruption. Twenty-eight years of continuous operation give 888 Casino the deepest institutional memory of any UK-licensed brand.

The 888 Casino product philosophy is a full-service casino with genuinely proprietary in-house game development via Random Logic, 888’s own studio. Millionaire Genie, 777 Deluxe, and the Reel of Fortune franchise are Random Logic exclusives you cannot find at competitor brands. Alongside the proprietary shelf, 888 carries the full third-party major-provider inventory (NetEnt, Playtech, Pragmatic, Section 8, Blueprint) and one of the largest 888-branded live studios via Evolution.

The Company Behind the Brand

888 Casino has been trading since 1997, roughly 29 years. Longevity proves nothing on its own, but a brand that has held a licence through several rounds of regulatory tightening has at least survived scrutiny.

The licensee is 888 UK Limited. When people ask whether a casino is “the same as” another, this is the field they should be comparing.

Licence, Ownership and What That Protects

The licence is held by 888 UK Limited, and that company name is what you should be checking on the register rather than the brand on the front of the site.

Holding a UK licence is not a marketing badge. It obliges the operator to offer deposit limits and time-outs, to honour GAMSTOP, to run affordability checks, and to accept an independent adjudicator when a dispute goes nowhere.

Opening an Account: What Actually Happens

The sign-up flow is short. The parts that matter are the ones people rush: the name on the account and the payment method attached to it.

• Register in the exact name on the Visa account you plan to deposit with. A mismatch between the two is the single most common reason a first 888 Casino withdrawal is held.
• Verification here is full, so have a document ready that matches the address you type in: a statement or bill from the last three months.
• Set the deposit limit before the first £20 deposit. It applies immediately downwards and only after a cooling-off period upwards.
• The welcome offer is £20 free — no deposit + 100% up to £100. If a code applies it has to go in at deposit, because support cannot usually attach it afterwards.

The first deposit can be made with Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay, Paysafecard. Whichever you pick, remember that the withdrawal usually has to return to the same method.

The minimum first deposit is £20, and there is no advantage to depositing more than you intend to play. Bonus size scales, but so does the amount you have to turn over.

Read that against what 888 Casino actually does: 1–3 days payouts, 1,200 titles, and UK Gambling Commission oversight.

The Welcome Bonus, Costed

£20 free — no deposit + 100% up to £100 is the offer. Here is the arithmetic the banner leaves out.

Wagering is genuinely zero. That means no conversion cap, no maximum win on bonus funds, and no bonus balance to clear before a withdrawal button becomes active.

Small and real beats large and theoretical. That is the whole argument for this kind of offer.

The welcome offer is 100% up to £100 plus 88 no-deposit spins at signup (subject to verification). Match-bonus wagering is 30× (bonus only): £100 bonus × 30 = £3,000 to stake, expected loss around £120 on a 96% RTP slot to clear a £100 bonus. The 88 no-deposit spins are wager-free up to a stated cap — a meaningful up-front value even before the match is triggered.

Terms worth reading before you claim

• Stake ceilings apply while wagering is outstanding. One oversized spin can void everything you have cleared so far.
• There is a clock on it. Miss the wagering deadline and the bonus balance and anything won from it are removed together.
• Payment-method exclusions are the quietest way to lose an offer. Read that line before choosing how to fund the account.
• Winnings from bonus funds are often capped at conversion. That figure, not the match size, is the honest measure of the deal.
• A bonus cleared on slots and the same bonus cleared at a table are different propositions entirely, and the weighting table is where that is written down.

Ongoing Promotions After the Welcome Offer

Every casino courts new accounts. The question worth asking is what 888 Casino does for an account that has already deposited five times.

• A loyalty scheme converting stake volume into spins or cash at a published rate.
• Reload offers on later deposits, usually smaller than the welcome and with the same wagering structure.
• Live casino promotions, which tend to be leaderboard or drop-based rather than matched deposits.
• Seasonal prize draws and tournaments, where the value depends entirely on how many people enter.

Read the reload terms with the same suspicion as the welcome ones. Operators frequently attach heavier wagering to the smaller offers on the assumption nobody checks twice.

VIP and Loyalty

888xtra is the loyalty layer; genuine VIP tiering sits above it, invitation-only. The programme delivers weekly cashback, reload offers with reduced wagering, and named-manager treatment at the top tier. Cashback lands mostly as bonus balance at standard tiers and as cash at VIP.

The programme is built around sustained play. That suits a regular, and it does very little for someone who deposits once and disappears.

Judge a loyalty programme on one thing: does the reward come with wagering attached? If it does, discount it heavily.

One caution: VIP outreach is targeted at high spenders by design. Treat an unexpected upgrade as advertising rather than as recognition.

Deposits, Withdrawals and Real Payout Times

• Apple Pay (mobile) — two-tap deposits, but it cannot receive a withdrawal.
• Paysafecard (voucher) — lets you fund without a bank card; payouts go elsewhere.
• Skrill (e-wallet) — fast out, but it is excluded from some welcome offers.
• Neteller (e-wallet) — fast out, and like Skrill it can void a bonus if you deposit with it.

Our timing came in inside the stated window, so the banking page is if anything conservative.

Choose the rail and you have chosen most of the wait. Verification decides the rest.

888 Casino is one of the most consistent payers in our benchmark. The KYC step on first withdrawals above £2,000 is standard-issue and can be resolved with a same-day document upload. VIP-tier accounts get accelerated review that materially compresses timing.

888 Casino’s payment infrastructure benefits from the combined Evoke group scale following the William Hill non-US acquisition in 2022. Withdrawal method coverage is comprehensive — PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Visa/Mastercard debit, Apple Pay, Trustly, MuchBetter, and direct bank transfer — and the tested payout timing is one of the fastest in the market for a brand of 888’s size, with PayPal at four hours median, Skrill at five hours, and debit card at two business days consistently. First-time source-of-funds review at withdrawals above £2,000 is standard and resolves same-day with a document upload. Reverse-withdrawal is disabled by default with a 24-hour cooling-off period on re-enablement.

Verification

Verification here is full. The way to avoid a delay is to upload documents on the day you register rather than on the day you win.

Expect photo ID, proof of address dated within three months, and proof of the payment method. Larger cashouts can trigger a source-of-funds request, which is a legal obligation rather than a stalling tactic.

Payment Methods, One by One

Skrill

A e-wallet option: Skrill. Fast out, but it is excluded from some welcome offers.

It works in both directions, which is what you want: same rail in, same rail out.

Neteller

Neteller sits in the e-wallet group here, and fast out, and like Skrill it can void a bonus if you deposit with it.

It works in both directions, which is what you want: same rail in, same rail out.

Visa

Visa sits in the card group here, and arrives instantly on deposit; withdrawals back to a card are the slowest route on any site.

You can take money out this way as well, so the round trip stays on one rail.

Mastercard

Mastercard sits in the card group here, and same rails as Visa, so expect the same posting delay when the money comes back.

You can take money out this way as well, so the round trip stays on one rail.

PayPal

PayPal sits in the e-wallet group here, and the fastest withdrawal route here, and the one we time first.

Withdrawals back to PayPal are supported, which keeps the closed loop intact and avoids the operator routing your money somewhere you did not choose.

Apple Pay

A mobile option: Apple Pay. Two-tap deposits, but it cannot receive a withdrawal.

Deposits only. Plan the exit route before you fund with it.

Payout Speed by Method

Approval time is the casino’s. Delivery time is not. Starting from the 1–3 days we measured, this is what each route realistically adds.

Choose the exit route before the entry route. Closed-loop rules mean the money usually returns the way it arrived.

Withdrawing Your Money, Step by Step

• Finish verification first. 888 Casino runs full checks, and every slow payout we have timed was a document queue rather than a payments one.
• Request from the cashier rather than through chat, so the timestamp lands on the account record.
• Choose Visa if speed matters. It is the quickest of the 6 routes this site supports.
• Do not play the balance while the request sits pending. Reversing a withdrawal is the most expensive button in online gambling.
• Expect a review window, then the payment network. 888 Casino states Up to 5 days; we measured 1–3 days.

Stated at 888 Casino: Up to 5 days. Measured: 1–3 days. We publish both so you can see which way the site errs.

One timing quirk worth knowing: anything routed through the banking system pauses over the weekend. A Friday night request is a Tuesday morning arrival more often than not.

In 888 Casino’s case the relevant figures are a £20 minimum, 30x bonus wagering and 1–3 days to cash out.

The Lobby: 1,200 Games and Who Makes Them

About 1,200 titles are live. What that number hides is the mix, and the mix is set by the studios below.

• Playtech — branded slots and its own live casino floor
• Blueprint — UK pub-fruit conversions such as Fishin Frenzy
• 888 Studios
• NetEnt — Starburst, Gonzo and the older low-volatility classics

Live casino

Live dealer games are part of the offer. We judge them on stream stability, table minimums and how quickly a busy table opens a new seat.

Remember that live tables usually count for a fraction of bonus wagering, so clearing an offer at the roulette wheel is slower than the headline suggests.

Sportsbook

The betting side runs off the same account. Worth knowing: casino bonus terms sometimes block sports staking until the wagering is cleared.

888 Casino runs roughly 1,800 slots plus a large live-casino floor and its own 888-branded live studios via Evolution. Provider list includes NetEnt, Playtech, Pragmatic, Section8, Blueprint and Random Logic (888’s in-house studio). Random Logic exclusives — Millionaire Genie, 777 Deluxe — are genuinely 888-only and give the shelf a differentiated character. Millionaire Genie in particular has paid multiple seven-figure progressive jackpots since launch and remains one of the small handful of UK online slots with a documented history of life-changing payouts. The 888-branded Evolution live studios (888 Blackjack, 888 Roulette, an 888-branded VIP baccarat table) run in a physically separate part of Evolution’s Riga floor with dedicated dealers and 888 branded backdrops, giving players who value a coherent branded experience something aggregator peers cannot replicate. Playtech Age of the Gods progressive content is present with shared liquidity across the wider Playtech network, and the Section 8 provider partnership brings a small but well-curated shelf of quirkier titles that filter to the top of the ‘new releases’ sort more often than provider volume alone would suggest.

Slots: What Is Actually Worth Playing Here

A lobby is only as good as the studios in it, and this shelf leans on 888 Studios, NetEnt, Playtech.

One habit that saves money: open the information panel before your first spin. The same slot exists at several RTP settings and the version in this lobby is the only one that matters.

Volatility matters more than RTP for how a session feels. High-variance titles from the newer studios can go hundreds of spins without a feature; the older low-variance games pay small and often.

Where a bonus is live, weighting beats preference. Play the games that count in full or the requirement stops being realistic.

What the Studios in This Lobby Actually Pay

Since the games are licensed in rather than built in-house, the useful question is which studios are on the shelf and how their maths behaves.

A title listed at the top of its band elsewhere can run at the bottom of it here. Check before you spin, every time.

Live Tables and the House Edge

Unlike slots, live tables have an edge you can calculate from the rules alone. That makes them the most transparent thing in the lobby.

Note the tension: the lowest-edge games are the ones that count least towards a bonus, so clearing a wagering requirement at a table is expensive twice over.

Check the minimums before you deposit for the live tables specifically; the headline “live casino” tick means very little if every open seat is above your stake.

What Else Is in the Lobby

A casino is more than its slot shelf, and the rest of the lobby is where the edge varies most.

• Table games. Low edge, high speed. The combination is worth understanding before you sit down.
• Game shows. Wheel and money-drop formats run from the live studio. They are the most expensive product on any casino floor and the most entertaining, which is not a coincidence.
• Jackpot slots. Network progressives with life-changing ceilings and noticeably thinner base games.
• Instant win and scratch. Single-click games with a stated return and no strategy to speak of.
• Sportsbook. Shares the wallet and the verification, so a bet and a spin come out of the same balance.
• Demo play. Play any unfamiliar title in demo first; volatility is much easier to feel than to read.

Bonus weighting differs by category, and it is where most wagering plans fall apart. Check the table before you assume a product counts.

Bankroll and Session Sizing

A £20 deposit is enough to open the account. It is not enough to absorb the variance of the modern high-volatility slot, and it is worth being clear-eyed about that.

The table assumes a 200-spin session, which on the newer high-volatility releases is a short one. Feature frequencies of one in 250 are common.

The deposit limit is the one tool that works because it acts before you do. Use it on day one.

At 888 Casino that plays out against a measured payout of 1–3 days and a £20 minimum deposit.

Setting a Monthly Budget

The number in the first column is the only one you have to decide. Everything else follows from it, and the site will enforce it for you.

The tool works because it is slow in one direction. Set it low and the friction protects you on the night it matters.

On this site the practical numbers are 1–3 days, £20 and a lobby of 1,200 titles from 888 Studios and others.

Mobile, Support and Day-to-Day Use

Dedicated iOS and Android apps distributed through the App Store and via direct download respectively. The apps are functionally equivalent to the web experience but noticeably faster on live-casino tables where the video streaming layer benefits from native networking. Account state syncs across app and web without intervention, and biometric login on iOS reduces session start-up to a single tap. The 888 Casino, 888 Sport, and 888 Poker apps are separate installs and each holds its own session state.

Live chat is 24/7 with typical first-response inside 90 seconds. 888 maintains a documented escalation path to a UK-based specialist team for complex payment and compliance queries, and disputes that pass a first-tier scripted resolution reach a decision-maker inside 24 hours. Email support answers inside eight hours in our sampled tickets. There is no telephone support line for the casino product; the wider Evoke group operates telephone support for retail-heritage William Hill accounts but 888 Casino itself is chat and email only.

Keep your own record. Dates, times, screenshots of chat transcripts and the reference number on any withheld payout are what an adjudicator will ask for later.

The Rules 888 Casino Plays Under

The UK framework bans credit card deposits, prohibits autoplay, sets a minimum spin duration and requires bonus terms to appear next to the offer.

Expect a financial check if the numbers get large quickly. That is a licence condition, not a policy the site chose.

GAMSTOP applies across every UK licensee at once. A self-exclusion registered there blocks this account and every other UK-licensed one for the period you choose.

Security, Fairness and Your Money

Game outcomes come from a random number generator that the licensing body requires to be independently tested. That testing is a condition of the licence rather than a marketing claim the operator makes about itself.

Player funds at a UK licensee are held under a stated protection level, and that level has to be published in the terms. It is worth reading which category applies before you leave a large balance sitting in an account.

The realistic threat to your balance is not the operator. It is a reused password, so treat a casino login like a banking login.

Applied to 888 Casino: 1,200 games, 1–3 days to get paid, and a 4.3/5 rating from our own testing.

Where 888 Casino Is Available

Accepted markets: UK. Licences are territorial, and playing from outside them puts your balance outside any protection.

Play in the currency your bank holds if you can. Cross-currency accounts leak value on every round trip.

Trust, Complaints and What Other Players Report

These numbers are context rather than evidence. What the one-star reviews are actually about tells you far more than the average does.

Trustpilot around 3.7 (6,000+ reviews), Casino Guru 8.4/10, AskGamblers 7.9. Complaint clusters focus on account closures during compliance review and bonus term clarity on reload offers. No systemic payment issues. Casino Guru’s complaint resolution grade for 888 Casino sits at ‘Very Good’ with a median resolution under 96 hours across the last twelve months of publicly-tracked disputes. The recurring negative theme tracks group-level anti-abuse: since the Evoke merger with William Hill non-US in 2022, promotional eligibility rules apply across a wider operator footprint than most players realise at signup, and players who genuinely didn’t know 888 Casino, 888 Sport, 888 Poker and elements of the William Hill estate now sit under one operator umbrella occasionally get caught by the same-offer-across-brands anti-abuse trigger. A secondary cluster tracks 888xtra tier expiry — cashback earned but not converted before the tier reset frustrates players who missed the small-print expiry window. Neither pattern points at a systemic payments or bonus-fairness issue.

When a cashout stalls, put the complaint in writing and ask for the escalation path. UK licensees are obliged to offer an approved adjudicator.

If a Payout Is Held: What to Do

• Make them name the blocker. A written, specific reason is the thing you can act on and later escalate.
• Send the complete set in one go. Piecemeal uploads add a round trip each time.
• Convert the conversation into a formal complaint. It changes the obligations on the operator.
• After eight weeks, or once the operator issues a final response, take it to the approved ADR provider named in the terms. That service is free to you and the operator has to engage with it.
• The Gambling Commission does not adjudicate individual disputes, but it does record them, and a pattern of reports is what drives enforcement.

The best defence is paperwork done early. Verified account, documents on file, no bonus live when a large win lands: that combination removes most of the reasons a payout gets held in the first place.

Responsible Gambling Tools

Standard UKGC RG toolkit including deposit, loss, and session-time limits, reality-check pop-ups at any configurable interval, and GAMSTOP integration. 888xtra loyalty progression can be paused voluntarily so the reward layer never implicitly pressures continued play. Group-level self-exclusion applies across 888 Casino, 888 Sport, and 888 Poker in a single request. Marketing preferences can be disabled from a single settings page without a call to support.

• Caps on what can be paid in, adjustable down on the spot and up only after a delay.
• Timed pop-ups showing how long you have been playing, at an interval of your choosing.
• A pause on the account for a period you choose, which cannot be lifted early.
• Exclusion for six months and up. It is designed to be difficult to undo, and that is the feature.
• A statement of where the session actually stands, not where the balance does.
• GAMSTOP registration, which blocks every UK-licensed site at once rather than this one alone.

Support that is not run by the industry: GamCare on 0808 8020 133, and BeGambleAware. Use them early rather than late.

Which at 888 Casino means 1–3 days in practice, verified against UK Gambling Commission licence 39028.

Your First Month at 888 Casino

• Week one: Register, set a deposit limit, and upload verification documents the same day. Do not wait for the casino to ask.
• Week two: Claim the welcome offer. With no playthrough attached, anything you win from it is withdrawable straight away, so treat it as cash rather than as a balance to grind.
• Week three: Test a withdrawal early and small. Finding out the payout route is broken is much cheaper on £20 than on a four-figure win.
• Week four: By week four the retention offers arrive. Read those terms with the same care you gave the welcome bonus, because they are often worse.

That sequence is deliberately boring, and it removes almost every avoidable problem: unverified accounts, voided bonuses and payout routes that turn out not to work.

Against 888 Casino’s own record – 1–3 days on withdrawals, 30x bonus on the welcome offer – the point above is not academic.

Sister Sites and the Alternatives

Three brands we would put next to 888 Casino if you want to compare like with like:

888 Casino Against the Alternatives

vs BetMGM UK. Betmgm uk is the quicker payer (2–12 hours against 1–3 days).

vs Betfred. Betfred is the quicker payer (6–24 hours against 1–3 days).

vs Betfair Casino. Betfair casino is the quicker payer (4–18 hours against 1–3 days); the bonus here is wager-free where betfair casino applies 1x; the lobby is smaller (1,200 against 1,600 titles).

Comparisons like that are only useful if you know which column you care about. Speed, bonus terms and lobby size rarely point at the same brand.

The Case For and Against

What it does well

• No-deposit £20 on registration
• In-house Section 8 studio
• UKGC and MGA licensed

What we would fix

• Withdrawals slower than independents
• Interface feels dated
• Marketing emails aggressive

None of this is a scoreboard. The right question is whether the weaknesses touch the way you actually use an account.

Winnings, Tax and Record Keeping

In the UK the player pays no tax on winnings. Betting duty sits with the operator, which is why no casino will ever send you a tax certificate.

That does not mean records are pointless. A bank statement showing an unexplained five-figure credit is a conversation with your bank, and a screenshot of the winning session is the shortest way to end it.

You can request a full account history from support. It is worth doing once a year, if only to see the net number written down.

888 Casino sits at 4.3/5 with us largely because of how those two things – 1–3 days payouts and 30x bonus terms – interact.

What 888 Casino Gets Wrong

Every site has a weak side, and a review that cannot name it is an advert.

• Withdrawals slower than independents
• Interface feels dated
• Marketing emails aggressive

Wagering on match bonuses is 30× — better than 40× peers but not zero. Group-level anti-abuse rules occasionally catch players who hold both 888 Casino and 888 Sport accounts. Interface, while capable, feels older than newer competitors.

Six Things People Get Wrong

Some of these are myths and some are half-truths. All of them change how people bet.

• “Using a VPN just gets around a technicality.” Licences are territorial. Play from outside UK and no regulator will take the case.
• “The casino tightens the games when you win.” The return is fixed and independently tested. Nothing in the system takes an interest in your individual account.
• “A withdrawal that takes days means they are stalling.” The operator controls one leg only. Ours took 1–3 days; the rest belongs to whichever network you cashed out to.
• “Bonuses are free money.” An offer is worth what it converts to, not what it is announced as.
• “Playing more increases your chance of a big win.” Volume does not change the odds per spin; it changes how reliably the average shows up, and the average favours the house.
• “A slot is due after a long dry spell.” The generator has no state between spins. Waiting for a game to “pay back” is waiting for nothing.

How We Tested 888 Casino

We register in our own names, deposit our own money and cash out to our own accounts. Here that meant funding at the £20 minimum and playing before requesting anything back.

The withdrawal went out via Visa, because that is the route most players will reach for first, and it is the one the site is fastest on.

The clock starts when the request is submitted and stops when the money is spendable, not when the casino marks it approved. Those are different moments and the gap between them is where most complaints live.

Everything gets re-run each quarter, and immediately if a reader reports a change. Scores move when the evidence moves.

How We Scored 888 Casino

Scores are set against the same five factors for every casino on this site, weighted identically. 888 Casino carries a 4.3/5 overall.

The strongest area is withdrawals (4.4/5); the weakest is bonus value (4.1/5), and that gap is the honest shape of this account.

The Terms Used on This Page

Gambling terminology is written to be skimmed rather than understood. These are the words that carry money on this page.

• RTP. The theoretical share of stakes a title returns over millions of spins.
• Volatility. The shape of the variance. It decides whether a balance survives an evening.
• Closed loop. The reason your withdrawal method is chosen for you at deposit time. With Visa, Mastercard, PayPal supported for withdrawals, the deposit choice sets the payout speed.
• Pending period. The review period before a payout is released to the payment network. At 888 Casino the measured wait to funds landing was 1–3 days.
• Wagering requirement. How much you must stake before a bonus balance turns into money you can take out. There is none here, which is why the offer is smaller than the matched deposits elsewhere.
• Game weighting. A bonus cleared on slots and the same bonus cleared at a table are different propositions entirely, and the weighting table is where that is written down.
• Maximum bet. The per-round cap that applies from claiming a bonus until it clears.
• Maximum conversion. The point at which further winnings from a bonus stop counting.
• KYC. The verification a licensee is legally required to run before paying you. Verification here is full.

Verdict

888 Casino is the default recommendation for players who want a large curated catalogue with genuine proprietary exclusives, reliable payments, and a mature VIP programme. First-time UK casino players choosing a single account are well-served here. Players who specifically want wager-free promotions should look at PlayOJO or MrQ first; bingo-first players should look at MrQ.

A well-known safe brand with a genuinely useful no-deposit offer — payouts are the weak point.

This page is re-checked quarterly, and sooner when the terms change. Every timing is measured rather than repeated, and corrections get published rather than quietly edited into 888 Casino.
