Welcome Bonus

888sport have one of the most generous new customer bonuses for Irish customers and we recommend taking full advantage. Quite simply, you can earn €30 in free bets simply by registering a new online betting account and placing a €10 bet or more. This naturally involves depositing at least €10 so that you can place this bet.

You must place your qualifying bet of €10 or more on a betting selection of 1/2 (1.50) in order to trigger the €30 in free bets. Once this opening bet has been settled, then 888sport will give you 3 x €10 free bets which can be used on any sports betting market.

Please ensure that you use the promotional code 30FB when you make your first real money deposit in order to qualify for the free bets. You can either choose to place a single bet or a multiple bet to qualify although the cumulative odds must always be 1/2 (1.50).

The bonus is pretty good in the sense that you are getting 300% in free bets compared to your original deposit and bonus. Having to place a qualifying bet at 1/2 (1.50) means that most betting selections are available and you should expect to see your free bets in your account within 72 hours of your first bet being settled.

Payment Options

There are an enormous number of accepted payment methods at 888sport and these are broadly split between the deposit methods that can also receive withdrawals and those where you would need to find an alternative way to withdraw any funds back to your personal account.

The most popular way for Irish customers to fund their 888sport account is by using a debit card and it’s a simple case of registering those card details which are then saved for further deposits. There are also a number of e-wallet payment options and PayPal is available to Irish customers along with Neteller, Skrill and MuchBetter.

Many customers want to use Apple Pay for their betting transactions and 888sport accept this form of payment although you can’t withdraw back to an Apple Pay account and the same applies to methods such as AstroPay card, Instadebit and Paysafecard among others.
