Skopos conducted a multi-market research programme across the EU5 and selected South American markets:

• Online interviews with gamers and gamblers in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and South America.
• Coverage spanned all major verticals — casino, poker, sportsbook, with a particular emphasis on bingo players, given the cultural and regional differences in engagement.
• Cross-market comparisons highlighted where localisation mattered most (e.g. tone of voice in copy, trust cues in payments, culturally relevant imagery).
• User experience evaluation of site design, navigation, and visual branding across devices.
• Insights mapped by market, product vertical, and player type, providing granular guidance for optimisation.

The research gave 888.com a strategic playbook for localisation that directly informed its global site strategy:

• Enabled the team to optimise digital content at the local level, tailoring language, tone, and imagery to resonate more strongly with specific markets.
• Informed site design refinements, ensuring the overall look and feel aligned with cultural expectations while maintaining a unified global brand identity.
• Highlighted the importance of greater localisation for bingo players, where cultural resonance was a key driver of trust and engagement.
• Provided clarity on where global consistency could be maintained (e.g. premium positioning, brand values) versus where adaptation was essential (e.g. tone of voice, customer support expectations).
• Strengthened 888.com’s ability to deliver a globally consistent yet locally relevant experience, increasing brand buy-in and conversion across multiple geographies.

As a result, 888.com was able to refine its international digital strategy, ensuring its platforms felt both recognisably 888 and authentically local — driving growth across Europe and beyond.
