What is Jackpot365? bet365’s Progressive Jackpot Guide

bet365 has built one of the most talked-about features in UK online gambling right now. Jackpot365 is an in-house, multi-tier progressive jackpot system that sits alongside both casino games and sports betting and since launching in December 2025, it has already paid out close to £50 million in prizes. Here is everything you need to know before you decide whether to opt in.

What is Jackpot365?

Jackpot365 is an optional progressive jackpot feature built entirely in-house by bet365. It works as a layer on top of your regular activity, either alongside eligible casino games or attached to a sports betslip giving you the chance to win one of four jackpot tiers on every qualifying round or bet.

Crucially, opting in does not change the outcome of the underlying game or bet. Your casino spin resolves exactly as it always would. Your football accumulator settles on its own terms. Jackpot365 runs in parallel, not instead.

It is available to UK customers on both the casino and sports betting sides of the platform, making it one of the few jackpot products to bridge those two verticals under a single mechanic.

How Does Jackpot365 Work in the Casino?

When you load an eligible casino game at bet365, a Jackpot365 console appears on screen. From there:

  1. Opt in – select the opt-in button on the in-game panel to activate your entry.
  2. Your stake increases – each spin or game round adds an extra 10p to your stake, which funds your jackpot entry.
  3. Every round is a chance – for as long as you remain opted in, every spin gives you a shot at one of four progressive prize tiers.
  4. Opt out anytime – there is no lock-in. You can return to the standard stake whenever you choose.

The 10p top-up does not affect anything within the game itself. Paylines, RTP, and bonus triggers all behave normally.

How Does Jackpot365 Work on Sports?

The sports version follows a similar principle but is structured around the betslip rather than individual game rounds. When building a bet:

  1. Build your bet – add any qualifying sports selection to your betslip as normal.
  2. Opt in on the slip – before placing, select the opt-in toggle. Your total stake will increase by a jackpot entry fee on top of your chosen bet amount.
  3. Place your bet – once submitted, your entry is live, and you are in contention for one of four jackpots.

Because sports bets resolve over a longer timeframe than a casino spin, the entry fee is structured differently to account for the fewer entry opportunities per session. The proportional chance of winning remains comparable.

How Many Jackpot Tiers Are There?

Jackpot365 runs four progressive tiers simultaneously. All four are live at all times and continue building until they are won. With hundreds of jackpot wins dropping daily across the player base, the smaller tiers turn over frequently, while the larger pools accumulate over a longer period.

bet365 has not publicly branded the tiers with individual names, but the multi-tier structure is standard for progressive systems of this type – broadly comparable to Mini, Minor, Major and Mega formats used elsewhere in the industry.

How Much Has Been Won on Jackpot365?

Since its launch in December 2025, Jackpot365 has paid out close to £50,000,000 across more than 112,000 jackpot wins. That works out to over 1,000 wins per day on average across its short lifespan so far indicating the smaller prize tiers are hitting with considerable frequency.

Is Jackpot365 Available on Mobile?

Yes. Jackpot365 functions across bet365’s full platform, including the iOS and Android apps and the mobile browser. The in-game console and betslip opt-in toggle both render on mobile in the same way they do on desktop.

Where is Jackpot365 Available?

In terms of regulated markets, Jackpot365 on sports is currently live in:

  • United Kingdom
  • Netherlands
  • Sweden
  • Ontario (Canada)
  • Selected bet365.com territories

A rollout to Michigan and Brazil has been confirmed. The casino version has been running in the UK since December 2025.

Key Terms to Know Before You Opt In

Jackpot365 is a straightforward feature, but there are a few things worth understanding before you activate it:

  • Stake increase is real money – the opt-in adds a genuine 10p per round (casino) or a proportional fee (sports) on top of your existing stake. It is not funded by a bonus or credit.
  • Participation is voluntary – you are never auto-enrolled. The opt-in and opt-out are always within your control.
  • Eligible games only – not every casino title carries the Jackpot365 console. Look for the panel when loading a game to confirm eligibility.
  • Does not affect game outcomes – the jackpot mechanic is entirely separate from the RTP, volatility and payout structure of the underlying slot or table game.
  • Full T&Cs apply – as with all promotional mechanics, review the complete terms on the bet365 site before opting in.

Is Jackpot365 Worth It?

Whether Jackpot365 suits you depends entirely on your approach to playing. For anyone who regularly sessions on eligible casino titles or places multiple sports bets per week, the marginal cost per entry is low, and the feature adds a secondary stake-for-stake reason to stay in a round beyond the base game.

The 10p per spin model keeps the entry cost transparent and manageable across a typical session. At higher volumes of play, the cumulative cost adds up, so it is worth factoring that into your session budget if you track spending closely.

What is clear is that at a platform scale, the feature is performing – £50 million paid out in under six months across 112,000+ wins is not a vanity figure. The wins are landing regularly.

How to Access Jackpot365

Existing bet365 customers can access Jackpot365 directly through the casino lobby or sports betting slip. No separate registration or bonus code is required – just log in, navigate to an eligible game or build a sports bet, and the opt-in toggle will be visible.

New customers will need to register a bet365 account first. The full sign-up process is available at bet365.com.

18+ only. UK residents only. Opt in required. The stake increases as a result of opting in. Participation is optional and does not affect the outcome of the underlying game or bet.
