m88.io Casino Review

m88.io Casino doesn't have many bonuses, nor the highest ones, but they do offer rakeback separately for live casino and non-live casino. Let's begin with the welcome bonuses.

There are three different first deposit bonus options, whether you want to bet on sports, play non-live casino games, or play live crypto casino games.

• Non-live casino: 100% up to $1,000, 20x wagering on bonus+deposit
• Live casino: 100% up to $500, 28x wagering on bonus+deposit
• Sports betting: 100% up to $1,000, 12x wagering on bonus+deposit

All bonuses are valid 30 days after registering and have a minimum deposit of $10.

These bonuses are below average in just about everything when compared with the rest of the crypto casino welcome bonuses. Values are low, there are no free spins, and wagering is high. For a better bonus offer in a crypto-only casino, I suggest Coins.Game Casino.

After the welcome bonus, you can use a weekly reload and a daily cashback (m88 calls it rebate).

The cashback is again different for live and non-live games. Starting with 0.4% for live casino and 0.5% for non-live games, both can get higher by climbing the loyalty program. I described more in the loyalty section of this m88.io Casino review.

There are already a few crypto casinos with very similar cashback offers, like Wolfy Casino and Stupid Casino.

Lastly, there are two weekly reload bonuses, one for slot games and one for sports betting. They are both 50% up to $150 and $30 minimum deposits. The only difference is the wagering requirement, which is 18x bonus+deposit for slots and 22x bonus+deposit for sports.

m88.io Casino falls short here by not offering more promotions. Most casinos add a cashback, some weekly free spins, and a bunch of tournaments to their offers. This is something m88.io Casino will still have to work on. To see what a great bonus offer looks like, check out mBit Casino review.

While m88.io Casino offers very few games compared to other crypto casinos, they have a very good casino lobby and gaming experience, in my opinion.

Their game selection comprises of over 2200 games from less than 20 game providers, although the biggest ones are present.

All game types are also accounted for, so nothing major is missing, even if you want to play games like Bitcoin dice or the crypto crash game.

Provably fair games are only available from Spribe.

All games are also available for free, but you have to be signed in for that.

The casino lobby is dark gray with red details and large modern thumbnails and banners. There are a couple of nice, unique things you can find in the lobby.

At the very top of the lobby, under the promo banners, there are circular thumbnails that act like social stories when opened. Although the information in these stories is always the same as in the other banners across the website, it's an interesting idea.

What I really like is how the menu looks. There is a menu for sports, esports, live casino, and slots & games. Each of the last two then opens into a sub-menu with many different game categories, so there is very little need to filter the games.

Once you select a game category from the menu, you can filter games by game providers and sort them by popularity or alphabetically. The game categories are also accessible within the filter.

Lastly, what I advocate all casinos should have is clearly displayed RTP for every game, something m88.io Casino has done nicely.

When you open a game, even more game details are available, although apart from the RTP and the live RTP trends, most other details are still blank.

m88.io offers over 40 different sports and around 15 eSports to bet on. Unlike the casino lobby, the sports lobby is very confusing to me.

The lobby is modern with a blueish space theme, which doesn't really fit with the rest of the website, but let's leave aesthetics aside. The sports menu looks nice at first, enabling you to customize the order in which the sports are displayed.

However, once you start fiddling with it, you'll notice that some sports are never displayed, no matter how you set them, and the menu always shows more sports than you have in the editor. Additionally, the sports in the menu are shown only with an icon, making you guess what anything is.

The eSports page opened for me only if I opened it from the main website menu. The esports category on the sports betting page did nothing.

Contrary to what most casinos offer in terms of sports bonuses, m88.io has a good offer, comprising a welcome bonus and weekly reload bonuses. I described both in the bonus section of this m88.io Casino review.

As a crypto-only casino, m88.io has very good accessibility worldwide. I'm not sure how much the Filippine license has to do with this (it usually does) because I'm unfamiliar with Filippine PAGCOR.

m88.io Casino restricts only around 10 countries from playing, requires only an email to play, and is a VPN-friendly casino.

Although they advertise over 50 accepted cryptocurrencies, you can deposit only in 7 cryptocurrencies at this time. You can see more in your wallet, but only to display balance in (which you can't do because you can't deposit in those currencies).

According to m88.io, they are working to add more cryptocurrencies, although most casinos say this, so we'll see.

Apart from the sports betting menu, which isn't the primary focus of this review, the rest of the website works flawlessly. I like that they added some additional features to their casino, like the clearly displayed RTP and the stories in the lobby.

The website also works fast, there are no intrusive pop-ups, it's accessible with VPN, and you can even download a browser app on all devices by going to your browser menu and clicking Install M88.io.

The M88verse

m88.io Casino developed their own 'Metaverse', called the M88verse, where you can become an ambassador by holding one of the NFTs from the Genesis collection.

The Genesis collection features 88 Hand-Drawn PFP’s, crafted by some of the world's most advanced animation design tools such as Unreal Engine 5 and MetaHuman. Spread across 10 uniquely themed levels, such as Astronauts, Samurais, Cyber DJ’s, Future Athletes and more, each of them eagerly carries its owner’s spirit on the Ethereum Blockchain and the metaverse!

Additionally, you can get mansion NFTs, each granting rare traits like airdrops, up to 50% commission, weekly raffle giveaways, exclusive merchandise drops, and more.

A dedicated landing page for the M88verse is accessible from the main lobby by clicking on 'Check benefits' above the NFTs.

The login and signup processes are simple.

1. If this will be your first time visiting m88.io Casino, click the Play Now button below to go to the casino.
2. Once there, hit the red Join Now button at the top of the website.
3. Enter your email, username, and password, and click Create Account.

Requiring only an email to sign up and play and using no third-party payment providers makes m88.io Casino an anonymous crypto casino.

Although they talk about accepting over 50 different cryptocurrencies, they currently accept only 7. But they are all processed directly on the blockchain, something that's becoming a rarity even among crypto casinos.

The payment limits are good, as always, when there are no payment provider intermediaries:

If you look at their loyalty program, you'll see that some levels promise higher withdrawal limits, which doesn't make sense because withdrawals are unlimited. I told the same thing to the casino's support, and they couldn't answer this.

m88.io's loyalty program has five levels, which grant you different benefits.

1. Bronze: 5% slot cashback, 0.5% slot rebate, 0.4% live casino rebate
2. Silver (88) points: 6% slot cashback, 0.6% slot rebate, 0.4% live casino rebate
3. Gold (1,088) points: 7% slot cashback, 3% sports cashback, 0.7% slot rebate, 0.5% live casino rebate, priority payments, birthday gift
4. Platinum (3,088) points: 8% slot cashback, 4% sports cashback, 0.8% slot rebate, 0.6% live casino rebate, personal manager, priority payments, birthday gift
5. Ruby (30,088) points: 10% slot cashback, 5% sports cashback, 1% slot rebate, 0.7% live casino rebate, personal manager, priority payments, birthday gift

Higher withdrawal limits are also mentioned as one of the benefits of Gold, Platinum, and Ruby levels. Still, as I have mentioned in the payments section of this review, that doesn't make sense because withdrawals are already unlimited.

Points are collected by wagering. $1,000 wagered on live games, $200 on non-live games, or $300 in sports bets brings 1 point.

One thing that I don't like is that you need to collect at least 50% of the required level points every month to keep the current level, otherwise, you drop a level.

Although this program is relatively accessible given the required input, most loyalty programs don't have such limits, making them a better option in my opinion. One of the best VIP programs in crypto casinos is hosted by BitStarz Casino.
