888 will apply for the Delaware Lottery’s exclusive iGaming contract this year, but the door is still open for one of its rivals — especially BetMGM & PokerStars.

888 hopes that the company’s responsible gaming efforts and, in particular, 888’s Control Centre, will help them achieve this ambitious goal.

With five days remaining, the XL Winter Series approaches its $500,000 Main Event and $50,000 Mini Main. Thirty champions already crowned and over a million dollars in prizes already distributed.

The landmark partnership marks the beginning of 888’s 20th anniversary, which will be celebrated throughout 2022.

Product developed through Authentic Brands Group partnership coming to Indiana, Iowa and New Jersey next; WSOP MI launch “weeks” away.
