At one minute past 3pm on Saturday, our biggest ever, record breaking Jackpot was won by Matthew G from Bristol who scooped a total of £1,963,088.83.

We’ve only managed to speak very briefly to the lucky winner, who won playing our Deal or No Deal game, and had this to say:
“I joined the site in 2009 and hadn’t played for a while when my mate suggested we have a go while we were round mine on Saturday. I joked that if I won I would give him £250,000 never thinking for one moment I would!
“My head still feels numb, I’m just so shocked! I kept refreshing my balance to check the money’s still there. I couldn’t believe it had actually happened. The support team were great over the Bank Holiday weekend assuring me it was all real!
“I’m still living in a day dream and really can’t believe this has happened to me.
“I am definitely fulfilling my promise to my friend who will be getting £250,000, but apart from that I have no idea how I will spend it.”

There’s no rush Matthew, though we’re all very impressed that you’re fulfilling your promise to your friend. Top bloke!

We’ll keep you updated with more on the story as we find it out…

After seven years of unparalleled success, marketing almost exclusively online, remaining below the radar of most national consumers, it’s now time to take the nation’s favourite Bingo site into homes across the country as we launch a major national TV campaign this September.

The campaign features 10 different adverts that will be shown prime-time on ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 as well as across the satellite network. During the course of the campaign every UK adult is expected to see the ad, on average, over 23 times. 

On top of the TV ad, we’re launching a new market leading acquisition offer that will make conversion a piece of cake and ensure you get a slice of the pie.

But that’s exactly what Jackpotjoy have done with Bejeweled 90 Ball Bingo!

The rules of the new game are simple:

You begin by buying at least six tickets to a Bejeweled Bingo game as normal. Once the game has been played – and there’s £2,500 worth of Guaranteed Jackpots to be won every day – you’ll then be invited to take part in the Bejeweled Challenge.

The Bejeweled Challenge is a sixty second game of Bejeweled where you can win tickets to the next Bingo game if you can beat either your individual or a team score.

The game is brilliant! It’s only sixty seconds so you have to be fast, but because you’ll also win tickets if your team beat the score so as long as you all pull together you’ll be well in with a chance of getting some freebies.

The games are 25p, and the site are currently offering £2,500 in Guaranteed Jackpots ever day!

The ice on the cake is that Jackpotjoy is offering £5 free no deposit required exclusively through affiliates!

So, if you’re an affiliate, all you need to do is display the banners on your site, and every player that completes a full registration will get £5 absolutely free. It’s that simple – players just need to register their card with no need to deposit.

Back in March the people at the site were very clear with us: although some features were being sacrificed to accommodate their new system, the losses would only be temporary and the site would get back into pole position very quickly. In the case of Jackpotjoy this seems to have been true.

Their new set of changes sees the return of some essential features including Scheduled Buy, which we know a lot of you have been missing, that lets you pre-book your tickets so you can choose the games you play.

They’re also re-opening the doors of their legendary Bingo 20 Room, something which is bound to give the old timers something to smile about.

Other changes this week include a new schedule for Gold, the reopening of the Wizard Room and a brand new place for 50p Bingo lovers to visit, The Honey Room, which will be opening between 6pm-1am every night.

They’re also now offering a brand new look for their Chat console which makes it much neater and cleaner – you can switch between the new and old look for Chat which is a nice touch, simply because it means you can choose your favourite.

The final big change this week comes to Free Bingo where the Rocket Room is being shut down. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean they’re stopping Free Bingo at Jackpotjoy, it’s just being moved and Free Bingo will now run every two hours between 8.15am and 2.15am in Cloud, Tiki, Emerald and, when it’s open, the Wizard Room. The Free game is linked and has a £50 Guaranteed prize fund which will be split between the 1, 2 and Full House prizes.

So that’s it from Jackpotjoy Bingo – for this week anyway – but keep your eyes peeled because it doesn’t look like these will be the last big changes taking place onsite any time soon.

In fact, we’ve heard that this Autumn is going to see something super exciting! We’ll tell you more as soon as we know…

Our Deal or No Deal game has already made millionaires…

The first millionaire was a market stall trader from the North East who won £1.3 Million pounds when he sat down for breakfast one Saturday morning. The second was an office worker from Kent who saw his life change to the tune of £1.4 Million!

And the best thing about becoming a Deal or No Deal millionaire is that it can come about in a moment, with just a few clicks on your mouse.

There’s so many ways to win playing our millionaire making Deal or No Deal Slot that you won’t want to miss the chance to play for the big one.

You could win when the banker makes a call and offers you a deal on the next spin, you could win cash during our mystery box bonus round or you could win the Progressive playing the big Deal or No Deal Bonus Game.

In this exciting Bonus Game you’ll be presented with a range of boxes, one of which holds the big Progressive Jackpot. Choose which box you want to have as your own and then watch as the rest are eliminated, with the banker making offers all the way.
By the end, only two boxes and one offer will remain. If you say No Deal then your box is finally opened and you could win the big money.

Our first winner remembers the moment well:

“On the day itself, I was working on the market and I headed home early – it was just so cold and quiet. My wife offered me a coffee and I switched on the computer and saw the banner for £1.3 million. I just knew I had to give it a try.
“In the end I only had two boxes left - £200 and the big one.
“The banker offered £362, and I knew there was no-way I’d take it! So I said No Deal and the box came forward and … the moment itself was weird … I kinda knew I’d see £200 in the box and I was fine with it. Completely fine with it.
“But then … coming from out of the box, came the number: £1,365,996.64 and … I mean … Everything changed.”

You could be a Deal or No Deal millionaire soon – just keep an eye on our Jackpot ticket and you could be our next big Deal or No Deal millionaire!

Jackpotjoy’s latest game is a masterpiece!

The game takes place on Tiki Island – made famous by their iconic slot of the same name – but the new game centres around the search for the legendary Tiki Temple, which hides the game’s Progressive Jackpot.

Because the game’s Progressive Jackpot is shared with Deal or No Deal, the site’s already legendary Millionaire Maker, it’s currently enjoying the luxury of being launched fully primed with an astonishing £1.5 Million Jackpot!

But headline figures don’t cover everything that’s amazing in the new slot.

Alongside the big Jackpot, you’ll find some of the most entertaining characters on any Slot – including Pancho the Parrot, Benny and Lenny the Karma-Chameleons and Tito, Rico, Fabio, Enzo and Geoff, also known as The Fabulous Funkin’ Shrunken’ Heads!

The Shrunken Heads, who can only have been the brainchild of some fun loving lunatic, sit on top of the reels and respond the result with some hilarious facial expressions.

Benny and Lenny will appear for the Free Spins feature, when they’ll turn random symbols Wild with a flick of their sticky tongues.

The Bonus Game takes you into the Jungle where you’ll find cash hidden inside banana crates, jugs or some very eggciting eggs. Eventually, you’ll be taken to Tiki Temple itself where five treasure chests await you. Simply choose a chest and you’ll whatever’s inside – and it could be the game’s big Progressive!

Tiki Temple is one of the best new games that’s currently on the market. It’s colourful, fun, exciting and offers the chance to win some serious cash! We’d go so far as to say that it’s got it all and it’s available to play at Jackpotjoy now…

If you fancy taking a shot at winning one of Tiki Temple’s four Progressive Jackpots, make sure you claim your Welcome Bonus – that could mean taking as much as £100 of Free Cash! Sign up at Jackpotjoy today and you could be a big winner…

If you’re looking to win big on a slots game, you’ll be keeping your eyes out for a Progressive Jackpot. But Progressive Jackpots can be awkward for games designers as they often take time to build up and so launching a game can be difficult.

There’ve been no such issues with Jackpotjoy’s brand new game Tiki Temple though, since it launched last week with four Progressive Jackpots, the biggest two being £300,000 and well over £1.5 million!

Unsurprisingly, with such a huge Jackpot up for grabs, and loads of gorgeous new gameplay to enjoy, Slots lovers flocked to Jackpotjoy to try their luck at the new game.

One such member Chris J, a player who’d joined the site less than 6 days beforehand, landed the game’s new 10p Jackpot.

"I just can’t believe it," he told Jackpotjoy not long after the win. "I’m so happy – I can’t believe I won all that just days after signing on!

"At the moment, I’ve got no idea what it will all be spent on – actually, I’ve got no idea what any of it will be spent on! I never thought I’d have this much disposable income. It’s incredible!"

Chris won the money at 6.30pm on Thursday 15th July 2010, playing Tiki Temple. The game offers a Bonus Round which is based on a journey through the jungle, in search of the fabled Tiki Temple, which hides the game’s progressive. Once in the temple, Chris was presented with five treasure chests. He clicked on one, and after a tense moment it was opened and well over £300,000 came whizzing out!

"I still can’t really take it in," he confesses. "It’s amazing, incredible, like a dream. Once it hits the bank it’ll be true – over £300,000 in my current account! Yeah, then it’ll sink in."

Tiki Temple is available to play at Jackpotjoy.com now, and still offers a £1.6 million Jackpot that must be won by someone.
