Protecting Minors

The government of Gibraltar’s states that anyone under the age of 18 is not to participate in any online gaming activity, and 888.com is more than happy to recognize that.

Our Gaming platforms are designed in a way which does not attract children or other underage players. We try our best to delete the accounts of anyone who is under the age of 18. We employ a very sophisticated system which can help us identify underage players who log into our system.

As everyone knows, the parents of the children must also be a part of this initiative. One of the best ways to prevent underage gambling is to install one of the following software programs on your computer:
Cyber Patrol
GamBlock

ICRA Certified

The ICRA, or the Internet Content Rating Association, is a non profit organization whose main goal is to both protect children when they are online, and promote the right to free speech on the Internet. 888.com is registered with this organization

Additional information for parents:

• Make sure you don’t leave your online casino software running when you are not at your computer
• Password protect anything gambling related on your computer
