888casino, formerly Casino-on-Net, is an online casino founded in 1997 and based in Gibraltar. It is one of a group of online entertainment brands owned by 888 Holdings plc.
888casino is an online gambling site operated by 888 Holdings plc and licensed in Gibraltar, New Jersey, Denmark, Spain and a number of other countries and territories. The site provides online casino games in download and web-based instant play for personal computers, tablets and mobile devices. 888casino offers traditional casino games to play online including classic table games such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat and craps, classic slots and video slots, video poker and Live Casino tables. In 1994 the Free Trade & Processing Zone Act was passed in Antigua and Barbuda, opening the way for the development of legal online casinos. Casino-on-Net, 888 Holding’s first online casino, was launched in May 1997, and re-branded in 2010 as 888casino in order to unify the look and feel of other 888 Holdings offerings, 888poker, 888 games, 888sport and Wink Bingo.
Originally established in 1997 by brothers Aaron and Avi Shaked along with partners Ron and Shay Ben-Yitzhaq, also two brothers, the company was originally called Virtual Holdings. Aaron Shaked claims to have come up with the idea of the online casino while attending a dentistry conference in Monte Carlo.
