Jackpotjoy

Jackpotjoy is a Gamesys online casino with a large following in the United Kingdom. If it doesn’t sound familiar, just picture Paddy McGuinness in a blue tracksuit, as the Bolton comedian has featured in numerous TV adverts and online promotions.

Jackpotjoy turned 20 in 2022. That’s pretty impressive for a relatively young industry that churns out dozens of new sites every month. If it was a person, it’d be old enough to actually gamble on its own platform. It would also be addicted to TikTok and obsessed with an influencer you’ve never heard of.

Welcome Bonuses

If you’ve been playing online bingo and slots for more than a couple of years, there’s a good chance you already have a Jackpotjoy account. I know I do, although I only know that because it told me when I tried to sign up. Truth be told, I can’t remember ever joining.

If you haven’t taken that step, you can collect the Jackpotjoy welcome bonus.

It requires a deposit and wager of £10 or more. You must also opt in. Once you meet these terms, you’ll be given free bingo tickets to the value of £50 or 30 free spins fixed at a 1p coin size.

At first glance, the bingo bonus sounds like the better offer here. However, it’s worth noting that the £50 only applies if you find £1 bingo tickets. You can use them on much cheaper games and if you do, you’ll get less out of the bonus. What’s more, while the 1p coin size sounds tiny, it doesn’t actually equate to 1p per spin. Slots typically use many coins per spin.

Also, you’re much more likely to win on a slot spin than you are with a bingo ticket.

Personally, I still think the bingo offer is the way to go but check those terms before you commit.

Loyalty Offers

Jackpotjoy has regular loyalty offers, including free spins and free bingo tickets. These are fairly limited when compared to other platforms, but the free bingo games more than make up for it.

These are available every day and there are many different varieties to choose from. You need to be a member to play them and must have deposited at least £10. The free games include Doubly Bubbly, Tiki’s Catch of the Day, Daily Paper, and Rainbow Riches.

The free bingo games come with a host of prizes and rewards, including bonus credits, free spins, and cash. Some of them have payouts of up to £750. They’re perfect if you’re on a budget or just want to enjoy playing some bingo games without risking real money.

If you have any friends who would be interested in playing Jackpotjoy, check out the refer-a-friend program. You’ll get a £20 bonus for use across all of the site’s bingo games, and this applies to every person who signs up, with no limits.

Bingo Games and Slots

The Gamesys software is excellent and on par with the one you can find at Foxy Bingo and Wink Bingo. It includes an abundance of bingo games and these are available around the block, with games running every minute.

Ticket prices vary from just 1p per game and there are massive prize pools and jackpots. The biggest games offer 5-figure jackpots to the luckiest players and there are prizes of up to £1,000 being triggered every single game.

The rooms include classic variations of 75-ball and 90-ball bingo, as well as some themed games like The Crystal Maze Bingo and Play Off Palace.

The reason the prizes are so high is that the site is never short on players. It boasts over 4 million members and while these obviously aren’t all active, many of them are.

The Jackpotjoy community is also vibrant. If you like to chat, make friends, and do all that other sociable stuff that makes me run a mile, Jackpotjoy is perfect. If you’re an anti-social hermit like me, you can ignore the chat and focus on playing the games.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Withdrawals should always be instant but rarely are. The best sites will give you your cash within minutes. Others will only process instant withdrawals if you have been a member for a long time or have scaled the heights of their loyalty program. And then there are those that hold onto your funds for several days regardless.

Jackpotjoy sits somewhere in the middle. The withdrawals are definitely not instant, but they are always processed within 24 hours, so you don’t need to wait long.

As far as the payment options are concerned, Jackpotjoy accepts PayPal, debit cards, and Apple Pay. There are no fees for deposits or withdrawals.

Verdict: Jackpotjoy Review

Jackpotjoy won a WhichBingo award for being the Most Socially Responsible Site of 2022. Incidentally, the award for the Best Bingo Site went to Ladbrokes Bingo, which also impressed me in 2022.

I don’t have many issues to report with this site. The welcome bonus is substantial, the free games are excellent, and you have a wide choice of bingo rooms to choose from. If I were to nitpick—as I often do—I’d say that they need more loyalty bonuses and a large slot selection. But those “issues” are infinitesimal in the grand scheme of things and there are many more pros than cons.
