One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.

From Gibraltar to the World
Established in 1997, 888 Holdings is a massive player in the online gaming industry, tracing its roots back to the early days of internet gambling. Originating in Gibraltar, the company was one of the pioneers that recognized the potential of online betting and casino gaming. Over the years, 888 Holdings expanded its footprint globally, securing licenses and establishing a presence in multiple countries. This expansion was strategically orchestrated over the years, and organic growth was coupled with the company making targeted acquisitions and partnerships to bolster its position in key markets. 888 operates in this very competitive industry with other large gambling companies such as DraftKings and other large international players. It, like many others, doesn’t produce all of its games itself but leases part of its catalog from other developers such as Evolution.
