The wait for the first real money casino games on Facebook is over, with online gambling firm 888 being the first company to provide this.

The firm has brought out a wagering app on the social media site which is called MAGIC888. It is available to UK players who are aged at least 18 and brings casino game playing into a social setting.

It has been confirmed by 888 that there will a lot of emphasis put on verifying the punters’ ages and identity before they are allowed to play with money. This is to stop underage players sneaking on and gambling on the games.

Live Dealer Games Available

The package which has been set up for the launch includes the likes of the video slots games and casino table games which are also on the conventional 888 casino site. In addition, there is also the 888 Live Deal Casino to give players the chance to try out this exciting way of playing games.  

Itai Frieberger, who is the COO of 888, said that the launch of MAGIC888 is the sign of a “significant extension” to their current social gaming strategy with real money games. It follows on from their BingoAppy launch and Frieberger said that the bingo game has shown them the potential that is to be found in the social gaming world. The statement went on to say that as well as the existing pleasures of the 888 Casino this new app also includes some additional features which “leverage the social experience” which Facebook is all about.
