About Jackpotjoy
There is much to like about playing at Jackpotjoy, but the best things without doubt are the variety of unique games, the great promotions and the low withdrawal and wagering requirements compared to other sites. You will also find the friendliest bunch of UK based chat hosts you would ever hope to meet.
The mobile site is growing all the time and while it was introduced with a lot less bingo rooms on the mobile site compared to the main site, being 90 ball Sapphire and 75 ball Bingo Lounge and Round the Clock Bingo, the range was gradually increased to bring in all the rooms, most of the slots, casino games and the other instant games too.
If you only play on desktop/laptop you will also continue to see enhancements - the latest of which took place in September 2017. This saw the site take on the look of the mobile site and the bingo rooms now operate in the same way too.
Innovation is the name of the game at Jackpotjoy and this has been found in spades in the past with such rooms such as Gameshow Bingo, Bejewelled Bingo and Take Me Out Bingo where you play an extra bonus game to earn free tickets into the next game as long as you buy 6 tickets yourself. However, as of the change to the HTML5 layout in September 2017 these games have temporarily been removed - we can only guess that the additional features make them difficult to migrate to the new platform.

I've played Jackpotjoy for a while now and always tried to take part in their chat games. The problem was that it always seemed to be the same small group of favoured players that somehow managed to post their answers in the correct place to win the prizes, so much so that I considered requesting my chat name be changed to something starting with "panda".
Maybe these were the big spenders who were treated differently to the those of us who were a bit more sensible with their spending? To make matters worse I've recently received an e-mail to say I can't take part in any chat games in future because I've won more than fair share of prizes!!! If only!!! For one thing I have a full time job which means I can't spend all day, every day on the site like some. Meanwhile it seems the same small of favoured players are continuing to mop up all the chat game prizes without any worry of being banned!!!
I'd therefore recommend avoiding this site firstly because it's highly unethical, who ever heard of a gambling site that bans people from playing because they win too much? Secondly it's an exceptionally cliquey site. If you can get your name on the "special list" along with the mandas, pandas, grannys and people with multiple outbuildings you'll do ok, but if not you're better off looking elsewhere.
This us terrible all members should be treated the same reguardless of how ever much you deposit.You would not be treated like this if you played in a bingo hall ,i think the time as come for all these onlline sites to be reviewed.- Very true SadPanda i put on a few 100 an not 1 win over £10 an yes same winners all the time. tc hun hope you find a better software company as there are some out there ..
- wow agree spot on there. that same group of people that all seem to turn up when the games are on all saying hi to each other with a long list of names to each other. you know you got no chance of winning when that group arrive in the room then its a joke
- Very true sadpanda. I joined a month ago and won a couple of chat games and received the same e mail whilst they were winning the chat games/quizzes everyday without fail so i closed my account. it does seem its very unfair we should be all treated the same regardless of what we spend.
- Yes I agree with you SadPanda. It shouldn't make a difference how much you spend but it does because after all it's a business. Those desperado's always and still winning in chat games probably deposit quite a lot so jpj are not going to want to lose their business. The hosts do an excellent job of making the clique think they're their friends, having a laugh and setting up an environment that attracts these people back day in and day out.
Shutting down any criticism of the site immediately, which you'd expect, also closing down conversations about how the slots with progressive jackpots are also played by people in Europe. Which was kept very quiet about in the first place until the big Wonderland pjp went abroad to many people's amazement.
It's big business not a social club which some people need to remember and stop being duped by the 'friendly' atmosphere to keep coming back and whilst on depositing money they probably can't afford and then desperately trying to recoup some in chat games. User Rating:
well i joined a while ago decided to have another try tonight as was real bad last time. am gob smacked with just pence wins and i left feeling robbed as didnt even get to stay on to enjoy any play. 1 person was picked on by another quite a lot horrible to see. dont know whats got in to these sites of the same company not sure if allowed to say the software, but take it from me they are so bad. yes stupid me for giving them a bit faith tonight.User Rating:
Been a member for about 6yrs - used to be a good site but has got very greedy. A poor experience on there this evening which prompted me to contact online help (host in room skidaddled as soon as a couple of us raised the problem). Was disappointed with their response, didn't feel that I had been listened to - in fact to me the implication was that I was a liar. Have now closed account on here and also account on sister site. I would rather have nothing to do with either site.Chat in the rooms is very cliquey and agree with a previous reviewer the same people seem to win time and again. Shame really - it used to be a very good site. Customer care 1/10User Rating:
Omg how bad is this site - sorry but it is. I won £1000 on Virgin games and now all the sister sites have taken back more than double win. As soon as you say any thing in chat they gang up on you...same winners and everything seem to too cosy in chat.
Also when my reels spin they seem to drop out place. I spoke to nick who was very nice about this, but did not know what i meant as said he had never heard dropping reels. well i know others who have said the same. t CrichtonUser Rating:
Hi, I have been a member at jackpotjoy for many years. It is the only site I have joined and I love it. I think the reviews that some people are writing are not true to be honest. it is a fair friendly site, the hosts are excellent as well as the customer services.
I have never won any big jackpots on the bingo, but still enjoy playing, I have a jar that anything I win that is good enough to take out I put it in the jar and put it towards something for my home. I hope this review does change people's minds about the site as I love playing at Jackpotjoy as well as my family members. so anyone who would like to join, give it a go.Jackpotjoy username: Rabani1

I joined Jackpotjoy a few years ago. I have had some great wins. I dont go on so much now because i like the slots you can put a lot of money on, but the payouts are poor.
The site is bright and easy to use and the chat hosts are some of the best and so are customer services.
I havent won for a long time so i tend to get bored of depositing and so take time out. I will put the odd wager now and again. I would recommend the bingo, but not the slots and overall not a bad site.Jackpotjoy username: Alternate77

Absolutely love Jackpotjoy, the userface is really pleasant to look at and the chat is easy to read and customise. The games and bingo are good though you win some, you lose some as it's gambling.
Demos are good to play to try the games out then play the ones you like. Promos are good and the chat games good fun.
The hosts are great, friendly and helpful and i've met a lot of cool roomies. There is always something going on so you never get bored.
Withdrawing is a peace of cake and money is in my account sometimes within the hour when using paypal. Great site.User Rating:

I have played on a LOT of bingo sites and fairly recently joined up to Jackpotjoy - this is by far the best site that I have played on - I never write reviews, but I feel like they deserve some good feedback.
Firstly the welcome deposit is great - yes, there are wagering requirements but they are achievable. Once you have deposited you get access to daily free games - where you can win cash/bingo tickets/free spins (depending on which game you chose) - there are also free daily bingo games where the prizes are decent.
The bingo rooms are really friendly - yes, there are the occasional people who will moan which is to be expected, but the hosts deal with this really well and in general other players are really friendly and happy when you win. The hosts are lovely and welcoming and the chat games are great fun - whether you win or not!
I've had such a laugh since I joined JPJ - chatting with other players and hosts in the bingo rooms has been really entertaining and I've found myself laughing so much - it is a very entertaining site - game show bingo is really unique as you get to play a bonus game after the bingo game to win free tickets to the next game - very addictive!
Often people will comment about "same winners" and whilst you do occasionally get people winning quite a lot, at the end of the day bingo is a game of chance. I have maxed out on tickets before and won zero but on another occasion I have spent 50p and won over £100.
I have only played the slots a couple of times so can't comment on the payouts but them seem fun - especially double bubble.
Withdrawal is fast on this site which is another bonus.
As an aside to this review I want to say a huge thank you to host Katie and the rest of the team - I was playing bingo a couple of nights ago and was chatting with the host and players about the 2 cats that I am currently fostering and that if I won the full house I was going to buy them a cat climber. Well I didn't win the full house and thought no more of it - until today when a large parcel arrived at my door. I opened it up to find a lovely cat climber with a note inside saying Merry Christmas from JPJ and they hope that the cats enjoy their new climber. I was overwhelmed by this kindness and it was totally unexpected. I don't think you would get that with other bingo sites.
If you've never played at JPJ - give it a go! It's fantastic entertainment (even if you don't win), the room jackpots are really good (much higher than other sites) and the hosts and players are great fun and welcoming.- hi hun i like the way you say you spent 50p an won 100 yet others spend a lot more an win next to nothing. i also noticed you wrote nearly half a book on good comments pleased that you find it good but why write so much. yes its nice that they sent you a parcel thats kind but i dont get how the hosts say they cant see our accounts yet by your name in chat they could get your address when most of us phone or live chat we have to answer a couple security questions to allow them to get the right account up yet just by your username in chat they could get address.
- Well I've heard of people buying just 1 ticket and winning a jackpot before - it is all down to luck and it does only take that one ticket to win. I have spent a small fortune on the site since my review and in general have lost a fair bit, but I do still like the site. Just because people spend a lot on tickets it doesn't guarantee a win - ive maxed out several times and got nowhere before!
I've played on a heck of a lot of bingo sites and I've found Jackpotjoy to be one of the best out there in terms of prize money.
The whole getting my address thing - I just assumed at the time that the hosts had access to our details (I was a relatively new player back then) so didn't think anything odd about it.
Have you had a bad experience with the site? I've read recent bad reviews which I can see people's points put across - such as cliquey groups in chat etc. I still like the site but don't deposit as much now as I've lost a fair amount! Jackpotjoy username: Kercey

Played on lots of bingo sites and this has to be the worst. Slot payouts are terrible no matter how much you bet. Same winners on this site and if you play the daily free game your lucky to get 10 free spins at the end of the month which of course pay nothing.
Stay clear of jackpotjoy it's an awful site .Jackpotjoy username: walsh70

I am barred from this site having been a member for 5 plus years and deposited loads. Complained to them about lack of wins or withdrawals having deposited a fair amount weekly until it looked as if i was a complete mug on my deposit and withdrawal history.
This site was okay about 3 years ago, but after takeover the win ratio is not existant. Probably ok when you first join for the first couple of month, but believe me they will make a mug of you.
Loyalty bonuses are an absolute joke. If you deposit over £100 you get about 1 to 2 quid at best. The daily free game is not worth playing as you are lucky to get 5 free spins.
I dont' think this site is regulated properly and I would love to see this so called gaming enjoyment site close down. I can't say strongly enough how much I hate this site. Look at other reviews and see that other people have noticed changes too. They don't deserve your custom. Rant over.Jackpotjoy username: memphis38

What a joke this site is omg. i have deposited on here a few times no wins at all. The daily frees are a joke more x than ought. Same winners - i have been watching and playing on and off i feel like a shark lol its defo a fix i have seen the same winner win four five time on trot. This site need investigating soon.
Dont listen to the promotions or promises i can garentee you its not going to happen. Most sites now are the same its very very suspect when you see the same winners over and over again.
As for the slots dont bother again if you check out the winners page over a period of time you will see the same winners. oh they hide it well but you will see if you look hard enough. We all need to earn money and run a buisness i understand that, but these sites are players for players thats how its ment to be. Take a cut yes to run it but let players win each others money thats our gamble and we should be able to play knowing we should win at some point even its only small. I have never won a dame thing. avoid at all costs.Jackpotjoy username: hippy57

I wish i hadnt bothered tb. Slots payouts appalling. A win is more likely to be 2p after several spins so you lose pounds to win pence really. Site slow to load and freezes continually and usual frequent players being favoured by cms. New players not welcomed or encouraged to join in. Overall a disappointing site steer clear.User Rating:
Joined this site last week and wish I hadn't bothered. The slots pay out rubbish and when I tried setting a limit on my deposits, the lowest limit was £200 per week. That in my opinion doesn't promote responsible gambling!! JPJ are quite happy to allow people to deposit £200 because there isn't an option to cap your spend lower than £200. I closed my account and won't be back!! Btw, don't bother with the bingo, same winners over and over and over....- Lowest limit is £10 a week or month and yes Jackpotjoy always promote responsible gambling through emails and chat hosts remind everyone in chat constantly.
