888 Holdings slot games provider

888 Gaming, known as 888 Holdings Plc, was established in May 1997 by Israeli entrepreneurs Avi and Aaron Shaked along with Shay and Ron Ben-Yitzhak. The company, initially Virtual Holdings Limited, was founded in the British Virgin Islands. In its early years, 888 obtained an Antiguan gaming license and launched Casino-on-Net, its first platform. By 2002, it moved its headquarters to Gibraltar and acquired a local gaming license. Notably, in 2005, 888 listed on the London Stock Exchange and joined eCOGRA. The company expanded its operations over the years, including the acquisition of William Hill in 2022, solidifying its status as a global leader in online gaming and sports betting.
