If you are a member of William Hill, Mr Green’s online casinos, or 888Casino, 888Sport, and 888Poker, this notice may or may not interest you.
Here’s the punchline, and then we’ll explain more below.
For those of you who missed the news about 888 Holdings’ name change, we would like to inform you that the operator has changed its name to Evoke PLC.
What does the change mean?
There is little change if you play at any 888 Holdings online casino brands. Mostly, your online casino or sportsbook that formerly fell under the umbrella of 888 Holdings will remain the same.
888 Holdings is the parent company for all operators overseeing the 888Casino brand, which operates in conjunction with 888Sport and 888Poker. Other online gambling brands with operators under 888 Holdings include William Hill and Mr Green online casinos.
888 Holdings’ company structure oversaw all William Hill high street betting shops.
The change means that rather than the operating companies for these gambling entities falling under the 888 Holdings PLC structure, they now operate under Evoke PLC.
How is the Evoke PLC Casino Operator Structure Set Up?
Since the name change from 888 Holdings PLC to Evoke PLC, the operators for each online gambling platform under the PLC have remained the same. We are also not expecting any rebranding for the online gambling sites that currently exist under these operators.
To be abundantly clear, 888Casino will not become Evoke Casino, and the same applies to 888Poker and 888Sport. As for Mr Green and William Hill online casinos, both have continuously operated under these brand names for B2C (Business-to-Customer) purposes and will continue to build on their current brand reputations.
888 Online Gambling Operators Explained
Although 888Casino now falls under Evoke PLC, the casino’s operating companies have not changed. You may ask why I am using plural for ‘company’. I used the plural form because the 888 gaming brands have different operating companies depending on the platform’s licensing and the country or region(s) where the website is available.
Below is a quick overview of the operators in counties specific to those we cover here on Casinoplusbonus:
