Casino On Net (aka 888.com) is operated by Cassava Enterprises Ltd. and is headquartered in Gibraltar. The online casino was launched in 1997, and is one of the longest running and most respected online casinos in the world today. The business has grown to incorporate poker, sports betting, bingo and assorted games, and even a 3D styled casino in recent years. We assume the domain 888.com was picked due to the association held with good luck by the number 8 in many cultures, particularly in Asia.
Players can choose between playing for fun or for real money, and between a software download for PC users, or playing via their web browser using a flash interface. The flash interface proves handy for Mac users, and unlike the vast majority of online casinos, Casino-on-Net specifically advertises it's Mac-friendliness. However to experience all the games 888.com has to offer, you will need to install the downloadable PC-only software, as not all the games are available in a flash version.
The website’s interface is crisp, simple, and attractive although there are minor inconveniences, such as it often maximises your browser window which quickly becomes annoying if you have a large monitor.
Play with Friends
A big variety of card and table games are present. They offer blackjack, poker, and roulette to name a few. One unique feature among their card games is that you can play in private, public or group tables, and you can reserve a table to play with your friends. A chat feature is also available so you can talk with other players.
Slots lovers are certainly not overlooked, and 888 features several with large progressive jackpots. The largest of the jackpots is usually the Millionaire Genie Slot jackpot, which was over $2.8 million at the time of updating this review. There are also progressive video poker, Caribbean Stud poker, and other slot jackpots on offer (see list on right of this page).
Security and Accountability
Casino on Net's payout rates and random number generator software are regularly audited by an independent third party and the results are published on their website for all to see. In recent months, the payout rate across all games averaged around the 97% mark. The casino is also accredited by eCOGRA, an organisation which ensures that casinos operate in a fair and honest manner before awarding their seal of approval. This level of transparency is just what you want to see when deciding whether to place your cash into an online gaming establishment, and you can feel reassured that you will enjoy a fair game when playing at 888.com.
Banking and Support
As you would expect from a top tier online gambling site, there are many and varied ways to transact with 888.com. They accept the usual credit card payment methods along with various e-wallets, wire transfers, and gift cards among others.
Customer service can be contacted through email and a toll free number. What is convenient is that some countries have their own toll free number to contact, saving you on having to pay long distance call rates.
888.com is one of the top online casinos around today. Years of experience, a reputation for good customer service and a Gibraltar license means that players can feel secure in depositing their money there. Recommended.

CON is great casino.The funny thing happened to me.The CS told me if i make $200 deposit,theyll give me initial bonus of 25% ($50). In order to receive the remaining 75% ($100), i was suppose to wager the total bonus amount of 20x $150 ( $3000 or 300 bonus points).So i didnt receive usual 100% up to $200 bonus.
But that wasnt all.They also offered me 100% up to $50 on EACH first deposit per month for the 11 months.So now i play at CON every month,the real monthly bonus just for me.Im guessing im not the only 1 who received that offer, but also i think it was temporary promotion, since there is nothing on their site that suggest otherwise.Never the less i made some nice profits, around $400 so far.
Now w8ing for January.
ok, January +$50
February +$130
I also received $120 refer a friend bonus( since my friend have accumulated 888 comp points), but i blew the bonus away....i played 2x$5 hands, got to $200, then got greedy and played 2x$25 hands and few doubles on top of that....well you know the rest....
March -$50...
Started playing 2x$1 hands,then 2x$5, lost couple of important doubles and lost it all....
April +$140
my play: 2x$1 hands, then 2x$2 hands,then $5 a hand..never got down below $85. by the time i met WR i was at $200. In next 10 hands i managed to lose $10, and thats when i decided to withdraw $190,leaving me with $140 profit.
May +$0
June +$230
As always i managed to blow $70 away,since i was at +$300 (by that time i was way over WR)... it has something to do with greed lol
