William Hill, founded in the UK in 1934, is an iconic sports betting and gaming brand. Our retail heritage, with over 1,300 high street shops, is a key differentiator for us in the marketplace. In addition, following our digital expansion in 1998 we have continued to grow and modernise our presence both online and through our app. We operate globally, with our core markets being the UK, Spain, Italy and Denmark, where we have received multiple industry awards over the years. As a brand we celebrate the connections that groups of friends have through their mutual love of sport and gaming and are fully committed to enabling our customers to play in a positive and responsible way, with a range of tools and systems that help them stay in control.
888casino was founded in 1997 as one of the first online casinos and has since grown to be a leading and multiple award-winning casino brand. We offer well over 2,500 games, from a combination of top games providers and our own exclusive games developed in house by our Section8 studio. We also boast one of the largest selections of live casino tables in the world, and our casino has been enjoyed by more than 25 million players worldwide since launch. Under our Made to Play brand promise, we make brilliant moments of play by offering fun and safe casino experiences, putting player safety at the heart of everything we do.
888sport was established in 2008 and has become a reputable and trusted sports betting site across the world, including our core markets of the UK, Spain, and Italy. In a category that is largely dominated by a few well-established legacy brands in each market, we continue to position 888sport as a challenger brand by connecting with our players through an innovative, cutting-edge sports experience. We communicate through the same Made to Play brand promise and offer safe and enjoyable betting opportunities on a wide range of sports in all major markets.
888poker was launched in 2002 and has become one of the world’s most popular poker sites. As a multiple category award winner we offer a world-class online poker environment that enables players of all abilities to enjoy games of their choice whether on mobile or desktop.

We also host a series of live events across all our major markets, to enable our players to engage with the brand physically as well as online. Sitting under the 888 Made to Play umbrella, we ensure our customers are empowered to make safe and responsible decisions about their gaming.
Mr Green, launched in 2008, is one of the category’s most distinctive and premium online gaming brands. We offer a wide range of casino and slot games, both online and through our app, and in 2016 introduced our personalised sports betting experience.
