About M88

Mansion88, or M88, is a bookmaker that belongs to the Mansion Group and their line of premium sportsbooks. If you’ve played at MansionBet, then you’ll be familiar with both the design and the offering of M88. However, the Mansion Group has recently embarked on a mission to diversify the bookies under their name.

Therefore, M88 comes armed to the teeth with all kinds of Asian leagues and fixtures, as the target audience is mainly bettors from Southeast Asia. Of course, we had high expectations, as not everyone can become the official betting partner of Manchester City.

From the get-go, it’s obvious that M88 is not your run-of-the-mill bookmaker. The Mansion vibe is evident, as it’s impossible not to recognize that comfy, spacious UI. One thing we love about this bookmaker is that everything has been modified for maximal visibility.

Black is the predominant color, which is somewhat of a risky move, no matter how spectacular other design elements are. We love black backgrounds, but using too much of one dark color can effectively cannibalize the whole page and make everything gloomy and murky. M88 avoided such a mishap by apply bold red accents, along with bright white lettering and borders.

The contrast is wonderful and the site is usable. One other Mansion characteristic is evident here - there is no clutter or unnecessary content. Due to this wise decision, every page loads in a fraction of a second. That’s what we call checking all the boxes.

What about banking? Well, the Mansion Group definitely has experience in the international market, so it’s no wonder that you can deposit and withdraw money in nine different currencies. In addition to USD and EUR, cashing out is possible in IDR, RMB, MYR, THB, VND, AUD, and JPY. This is a big advantage, in a section that most bookies choose to ignore.

When it comes to the actual payment options, there is a plethora of different platforms available, ranging from traditional ones to modern eWallets. Keep in mind that not all options are available for all currencies. Check your country’s version of the site before you create an account. However, the inconsistencies are negligible, so you won’t encounter a deal-breaker in this department.

Customer support is good, but we feel M88 could definitely do better. You can speak with agents via live chat, phone, and email. An added, somewhat old-school benefit is the option to place bets with the help of M88 staff. This is a nice touch for high rollers who want to save as much time as possible.

English, Indonesian, Hindi, Japanese, That, and Vietnamese are the languages that you can use to seek help from the M88 customer support team. The only problem we had is that some agents are evidently untrained. There were situations where they missed the whole point when we asked them a question. Response times can be disastrous during rush hour, so we would like M88 to do something about the whole situation.

Betting Features

Compared to other bookmakers that operate in the Asian market, M88 is probably the most versatile. They understand that bettors want a wide array of choices, so they focused on offering as much as possible, but with a constant emphasis on Southeast Asia and its various leagues and fixtures. Odds are above average and boosters are frequent.

Security and Fairness

As M88 has its headquarters in the Philippines, they are licensed by the First Cagayan Leisure and Resort Corporation, one of the country’s most respected regulators. This is a strong license, so it’s safe to assume M88 is, by no means, a fraud. They use SSL encryption, too.
