Description
Register an account with 888sport, deposit and bet £10+ on any sport and get £30 in free bets, plus a £10 casino bonus.
There have been multiple reports of people being bonus-restricted instantly on signing up. I recommend using a well-established email address, as it’s been suggested that new email addresses may act as a red flag. Another possible reason for the restrictions is 888sport’s acquisition of William Hill. You won’t know until you try, so sign up, and if you become bonus-restricted, write it off and move on to the next offer.
