888 Zhenren

Editorial Review

888Zhenren.com is a new offering from 888.com, aimed mostly at the Asian market, although players from other countries are welcome too. The site offers both sports betting and casino facilities, with live dealers, and games including Baccarat, Roulette, Sic Bo, and Crazy 21. In the future, 888Zhenren will offer the popular Asian p2p game, DouDiZhu.

At the time of writing, the casino games require the installation of a downloaded client, however according to the web site, a browser based client will be available soon. For people playing from home, the installable client will probably be the prefered option.

The sports betting side of the site allows for most popular sports, including soccer, basketball, snooker, tennis, golf, and motor sports. 

The site is offered in several languages, with the default being Cantonese – English is selectable from a drop down, and once you have selected it once, you should not need to change the language again for that computer / browser combination.

888Zhenren accepts deposits in Chinese Yuan, the US Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Japanese Yen, and Ringgit Malaysia. Chinese players can use Emerchant Pay to deposit their funds, and other options such as Ezybonds, Click2Pay, Neteller, and Credit Card payments are available too. Withdrawals can be made using Asia Bank Transfer, and International Bank Transfer.

The 888Zhenren site uses a simple, clean design, with the familiar 888.com green colour being dominant. The site loads quite quickly, and works in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera browsers on the PC. 

Should you need any support to get the client up and running, or have any quires about your account, they offer several contact methods, including MSN, QQ, a UK based telephone number, and email.

888Zhenren has the same restrictions as other 888.com sites, meaning that only people over the age of 18 may register and play on the site. They also like to encourage responsible gambling, allowing you to set your own cap on how much you can spend per month, and to block your membership should you wish to stop using the casino or poker room for any reason.

888Zhenren has fewer games than the 888.com casino, but it does have some different ones which may appeal to Asian users, or those looking for something a little different. The sports betting side is clean, simple, and easy to use, and should appeal to those who want a no-frills sports betting service without the clutter and distractions of some more general sites.

Fans of Snooker may also wish to pledge their allegiance by using an 888 affiliated site, as 888.com are the sponsors of players John Higgins and Ronnie O'Sullivan.
