Fun88 Sportsbook & Casino is a European-facing sportsbook and casino running on The Gaming Platform (TGP Europe). Bettors or players in other regions should be directed to the appropriate sister site, such as "asia dot com" for their countries.

The ".co dot uk" site is licensed by the Gambling Commission for players in Great Britain and by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission under a network license for players in Canada and elsewhere.

The dot com and the asia.com sites run on Asia Light Tech (ALT) software and face Asian markets with OG Global Access Ltd being responsible for operations under PAGCOR licenses.

You might be wondering...

Is this a sportsbook or a casino?

While the primary business of the UK site seems to be sports and live betting, the live dealer and random number generated animated casinos are certainly worthy of mention in their own right. We will focus on the European-facing slots and tables facet of the equation in this review.

Please feel free to visit the casino at any time to find special introductory offers for players in your area, or read on the learn more about Fun88!

What we found...

After a thorough scouring of regulator and advocate websites as well as player forums, we find no outstanding complaints of any validity.

A sportsbook with no complaints?

All sportsbook receive grunts and groans when lines are reduced and bets are capped, etc. - which is always within an operator's rights - but we don't find any no pay or slow-pay complaints about either casino or sports.

Please note that not all game providers' products shown in the details above or to the right are available in all regions. This is not the operator's fault as licensing restrictions prevent them from offering some games in certain areas. One example is that NextGen titles will not be available in Canada.

Software and Games

The Gambling Platform seamlessly integrates sportsbetting, live betting, virtual sports, live dealers streams, and online casino games giving players the ability to jump across betting areas or easily stay in one zone while completely ignoring the other one.

All games are mobile-ready and play in any web browser on any operating system - Mac/PC/Linux - desktop/tablet/phone.

The website optimizes the player experience for whatever device you use to access the platform. This makes navigation intuitive within a moment or two of logging in.

Game filters in the RNG casino include options to sort by:

• Most Popular
• Newest
• A-Z
• By the provider
• 

The provider dropdown will only show the games available to players in the region from which you logged in.

While logged in from Canada we found titles from 2by2, Big Time Gaming, Genesis Games, JFTW, and Microgaming. Choosing Evolution will bring up the live dealer suite.

Not all game filtering systems (by the provider) also allow you to re-sort - this one does so it's easy to find the most popular games provided by 2by2, for example - or sort them alphabetically.

It's not a big thing, but it is a nice feature for those who rely on filters to get the most out of their gambling time, or for the times you feel like playing only Just For The Win (JFTW) titles.

Many players are familiar with, and call Goldwyn's Fairies and Deco Diamonds "favorites". If you haven't tried some of their other titles in real money or fun mode you may be in for a pleasant surprise. Lucky Links, Amazing Aztecs, Reel Splitter, Reel Talent, SideWinder, and Shogun of Time are just a few of the JFTW titles you will find here.

Genesis Games is another provider found here with unique games just seething with potential. They are a highly prolific producer with over a decade of experience in the Las Vegas and online gambling markets. Here, we find a unique selection of their games including Ragnarok, Orion, and Gods of Giza.

Some of the Genesis games are extremely volatile and a good place to find a jackpot.

Jackpot Slots

Look for most of your favorite Microgaming progressive jackpots here along with Play'n GO titles such as Leprechaun Goes to Hell with frequent lucrative bonus rounds to help lucky players bide their time while waiting for one of the four jackpots to fall into their lap.

People of all genders can enjoy their Gift Shop progressive with just three reels for easy gameplay with no need to understand complicate bonus mechanics.

Be sure to play all three coins (at a fixed price of 0.25 per coin) because the progressive jackpot can only be won when betting all three coins. All other prizes are incremental, doubling in value for the second coin and trebling for the third - but you don't want to be caught out with a 1,600 coin jackpot (400.00) when an extra coin could have provided you with all of the fractional coins players have left in the machine since it was won and reseeded last.

The Mega Moolah games, including MM Isis, feature pooled jackpots, so players everywhere in the world contribute to the grand prize. It grows fast and big and falls often.

RNG Tables and Card Games

There are about 20 games in this suite including variants. The section provides a well-balanced mix of baccarat, blackjack, craps, house-banked table poker, roulette, and video poker machines.

Throughout the site, you will see live dealer games sprinkled in, and this section is no exception.

Play'n GO provides most of the animated RNG table and card games with Microgaming accounting for five of them:

• European Roulette Gold Series
• High Limit Baccarat
• Cyberstud Poker
• Vegas Craps
• Atlantic City Blackjack

Live Casino

Players who prefer to bet on tables with a live dealer or croupier will find well over a dozen options here. Evolution Gaming provides baccarat, blackjack, and roulette from their European studios. They may not cover every possible variant of any of the games, but the basics are well covered.

Players in Asia will find Asia Live Tech (ALT) as their provider.

Fun is more than a name here. The majority of Evolution's offering is in the realm of the most fun hosted live gambling games available anywhere on the internet.

Side Bet City - 1980s Las Vegas-themed poker room with neon lighting, jazz music, and a unique game wherein "Players simply bet on whether they will win on a 3 Card Hand, a 5 Card Hand or a 7 Card Hand, or on the ‘All Lose’ option."

Deal or No Deal Live - An unlimited number of players can participate in this multi-layered live game.

Monopoly Live - Spinning wheel with augmented reality bonus games.

Football Studio - Football chat, background, and broadcasts enhance this simple game of cards against the dealer.

Dream Catcher - Evolution's inaugural money wheel game, a great introduction to live betting for slots players.

Inspired Virtual Sports

While we won't do more than mention the live betting and other SBTech-powered options for sports here, we will focus a little bit on the virtual sports (VS).

Developers like 1x2 and Kyron have created some fantastic virtual sports games, and all are well worth playing.

However, the VS offered here comes from one of the most important game providers in the world, a company that gets a rare mention in online casino reviews and press.

Inspired Entertainment operates over 34,000 digital gaming terminals worldwide and provides their VS product through over 100 websites and about 40,000 retail channels.

Players know these betting games are legitimate. In addition to UKGC licensing, the games are deployed in about 35 other jurisdictions worldwide.

Sports betting fans can enjoy their favorite games during the off-season, with true odds and a variety of betting options.

Casino players can also use the games as a primer to sportsbetting if they would like to polish a few skill at low wagers before trying some traditional sports betting.

The power of Inspired assures even the novice bettor of best-in-class games created using advanced motion capture and 3D motion graphics renders.

Caution should be exercised with these betting games, though. They can be more than slightly addictive as they hold all of the allure of traditional betting augmented with the ability to time travel, in a virtual sense.

• V-Play Football - The most popular offering
• V-Play Greyhounds (No animals are harmed)
• V-Play Horses - Feel your adrenaline pumping with the thundering hooves

Bonuses and Promotions

Sports fans will find their own special promotions. Casino-goers should look for a generous sign-up offer and weekly deposit matches. Those who play both sides of the site will also find a few cross-over options.

While there is still a maximum amount that can be withdrawn from extra spins, it is much higher here than almost anywhere else.

Banking and Customer Service

Look for simple and straightforward transactions in a secure environment. Debit and credit cards, bank transfers, and eWallets such as Neteller and Skrill are accepted payment methods.

Daily withdrawals are limited to 10,000 in aggregate. (See pitfalls below)

The terms state that there is a 24-hour pending period before withdrawals are processed.

Customer Care

Live chat is available onsite between 7 am to 11 pm BST. We don't find a telephone number for assistance but there are several specific email addresses listed on the site.

Dispute resolution is handled through escalation and an independent third party (ADR) approved by the Gambling Commission.

Pitfalls

High playthrough requirements on extra spin winnings

The terms are unclear if "Bets" also relate to casino wins. It is not likely, but aggregate win limits per day are 10,000 with horse racing bets paying up to 50,000. Punters would be wise to keep the daily WIN limits in mind prior to placing large or highly volatile bets in either case.

The Final Word

Fun88 seem to take their name seriously, and strive to provide a full service, all-encompassing gambling package and betting experience to customers in Europe and beyond.

The casino side of the equation offers nearly 500 individual games, which should be enough for most players. The live casino is focused on providing traditional games as well as a whole series of enhanced live host wheel games from Evolution.

The operators have a good reputation for fair play and timely payouts.

In addition to covering all floor games, the firm not only provides a betting site for punters but also sponsors the Newcastle United Football Club.
