Has maximum payout
It is important to maximize the maximum daily payout of an online bookmaker because no bettor wants their winnings to be capped. This is certainly a weak link for 888Sport as its £250,000 football top prize and £100,000 UK and Republic of Ireland maximum daily prize cap for horse racing pales in comparison to many other online bookmakers.
Strength
The 888Sport offers a level of competitiveness in certain sports. The £100,000 top NBA basketball payout is on par with the likes of Betfred, Betfair Sportsbook and BetVictor.
The same goes for £100,000 for darts and snooker, two sports that once again 888Sport matches the top spending caps of some of the big names.
Even as mentioned above, our recommended non-football bookies under the guise of bet365 offer much higher caps.
Weakness
From a football point of view, 888Sport has many pitfalls. The £250,000 cap on top football spending is dwarfed by companies such as bet365 and William Hill who are bidding £2 million each. So, for top football games, they pay up to 8 times as much as their counterparts.
ACCA regulars also need to be on the lookout for 888Sport, who offer top prizes of just £50,000 in EFL League 1, EFL League 2, English National League, Scottish Championship + Scottish Leagues 1 and 2. Therefore, any accumulator that includes games in these divisions will pay a cap of £50,000.
William Hill spent up to £2m on EFL Leagues 1 and 2, while 888Sport spent £50,000. They also offer £1m for the Scottish Championship and Scottish Leagues 1 and 2, which is 20 times more than 888Sport, and £1m for England’s National League, which is 20 times more than 888Sport.
From a non-football point of view, £100,000 for horse racing and golf is not far behind the likes of industry leader bet365. For example, bet365 offers £1 million in horse racing in the UK and Ireland and £500,000 in golf. £75,000 for ATP Tennis and £50,000 for NFL Football, while bet365 has a maximum daily spend cap of £500,000 for both sports and 10 times more for the NFL.
