Every jackpot has a story, and the latest one from bet365 is difficult to ignore.
A customer from London has become the newest millionaire thanks to Jackpot365, collecting more than £1.3 million after choosing to add a 10p Jackpot365 entry while playing Ballin' on bet365 Casino.
The remarkable payout is the latest milestone for Jackpot365, which has already distributed more than £50 million in prize money since launching in December 2025.

An Ordinary Evening Turns Extraordinary
For Alex, it started like countless other casino sessions.
After launching Ballin' on bet365 Casino, she was presented with the option to join Jackpot365 by paying an additional 10p. It was a small decision that carried the possibility of a huge reward.
That reward arrived almost instantly.
Alex admitted her first reaction was disbelief.
Initially, she assumed there had been some kind of mistake and believed she had won only a few thousand pounds. After logging out and signing back into her account, the reality finally sank in—the prize was worth more than £1.3 million.
Speaking after the win, Alex described the experience as surreal and said the money would allow her to fulfil one of her biggest ambitions: buying her own home.
It's exactly the kind of life-changing moment that progressive jackpots are designed to create.
£50 Million and Counting
Jackpot365 has enjoyed rapid growth since its introduction at the end of 2025.
According to bet365, players have now shared more than £50 million in winnings through the feature, with prizes being awarded every day across the different jackpot levels.
While millionaire wins naturally attract the headlines, the feature also produces frequent smaller jackpot payouts, meaning players don't have to wait for a record-breaking prize to enjoy a successful session.
That steady stream of winners has helped establish Jackpot365 as one of bet365's most popular gaming features.
What Makes Jackpot365 Different?
Unlike traditional progressive jackpots that are attached to a single slot machine, Jackpot365 is integrated across eligible games.
Players simply decide whether they would like to participate before playing. If they opt in by paying the additional jackpot entry fee, they receive a chance to win one of four progressive jackpots.
The casino game itself continues exactly as normal, with Jackpot365 operating independently alongside it.
That means participating doesn't alter the gameplay or the outcome of the game being played—it simply creates an additional opportunity to land a jackpot prize.
Jackpot365 Is Also Available on Sports
Following the success of its casino launch, bet365 expanded Jackpot365 to sports betting.
Eligible customers placing sports wagers can now opt into the same progressive jackpot system directly from the betslip.
The process is designed to be simple:
- Select your sports bet.
- Enter your intended stake.
- Choose to opt into Jackpot365.
- Place the bet and receive an entry into one of four jackpots.
The additional jackpot entry runs separately from the sports wager itself, so the result of the match or event isn't influenced in any way.
Instead, it offers players an extra opportunity to win a progressive jackpot while enjoying their regular betting activity.

Small Stakes, Big Possibilities
Stories like Alex's demonstrate why progressive jackpots continue to capture players' attention.
The chance to transform a modest additional stake into a seven-figure payout is exactly what makes jackpot features so exciting. While wins of this size are naturally rare, they show that the progressive prize pool is capable of producing genuinely life-changing rewards.
With more than £50 million already paid out and new winners announced on a regular basis, Jackpot365 continues to build momentum across both casino gaming and sports betting.
For one London player, a simple 10p opt-in has delivered a future she once only imagined.
Participation in Jackpot365 is optional. Opt-in is required, and an additional jackpot entry fee applies. Jackpot365 does not affect the outcome of the underlying casino game or sports bet. Terms, conditions and eligibility restrictions apply.
Full Jackpot 365 Terms and Conditions
- Jackpot365 is an optional progressive jackpot game played alongside, but separately to, eligible Casino games and Sports bets. Participation is optional and does not affect the outcome of the game being played. You can opt in and out of Jackpot365 at any time.
- An eligible Jackpot365 game or qualifying Sports bet is one where the Jackpot365 console is visible.
- To be eligible to win a Jackpot365 prize via Casino, click ‘Opt in’ on the in-game panel of an eligible Casino game. Once opted in, an additional £0.10 (or currency equivalent) will be used from your account balance for each hand, spin, or round played, on top of your base game stake. Entry into Jackpot365 is also available via opt-in on the Sports betslip. The stake for entry via the Sports betslip is £0.50 (or currency equivalent), which due to the higher stake value has a 5 times greater chance of winning a jackpot than entry via a Casino game. For example, a £0.50 entry on Sports will mean that you have five (5) times the chance of winning the jackpot compared to a £0.10 Casino entry. This is to account for the difference in the cost per entry.
- Opting in via a Casino game is separate from opting in via a Sports betslip. The opt-in status does not transfer between products, and you can be opted in on Casino and opted out on a Sports betslip, and vice versa.
- Jackpot365 wins are triggered randomly. Jackpot winnings will be credited automatically to your withdrawable balance. There may be a delay in winnings being paid out if two or more jackpots are won close together. Larger jackpot payouts may require additional verification checks to be carried out before winnings can be withdrawn.
- You may opt out at any time from Jackpot365 at the bottom of the eligible game’s in-game panel, at the bottom of the Sports betslip, or any other area on the site that contains the Jackpot365 console. If you have opted out, you will not be eligible to win a jackpot unless you opt in again.
- The jackpot is a progressive jackpot, meaning a portion of every applicable Jackpot Stake Amount (which varies depending on whether the entry is from Casino or Sports) is added to the jackpot total. If a game allows multiple stakes in a single round, only one Jackpot Stake Amount contributes for that round.
- Eighty-five percent (85%) of the applicable Jackpot Stake Amount (which varies depending on whether the entry is from Casino or Sports) is added to the jackpot prize-pool, a portion of which is reserved for future jackpot prize-pools (the “Reserve”). This allocation generates a total theoretical jackpot return to player of eighty-five percent (85%).
- One of four jackpots can be won at any time (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze), which each offer a different prize value as displayed on the in-game panel on Casino or the betslip on Sports. Relevant contributions from the Jackpot Stake Amount, as defined above, are divided across the four tiers.
- Jackpot winners are selected at random and not as a result of any specific outcome from the game being played.
- All Jackpot365 wins will be verified by our internal validation process. If a jackpot is won shortly after a previous jackpot win, there may be a delay in the in-game panel displaying the new jackpot prize amount(s).
- There is no upper limit to Jackpot365 values, and the jackpot will continue to increase as all players play eligible games and contribute via Jackpot Stake Amounts, until a winner is selected at random. There is no set number of jackpots that will be won in a given timeframe, and no set time by which jackpots will be won.
- The current value of the jackpot can be seen on the in-game panel of the eligible Casino game, the bottom of the Sports betslip and on the Jackpot365 banner on the offer page. Please be aware that due to internet latency, there can be a slight delay in the jackpot amount displayed within the jackpot ticker and the most up-to-date jackpot value a customer can win.
- If the value of your stake and Jackpot Stake Amount combined would exceed staking limits for the jurisdiction in which you are playing, then the Jackpot Stake Amount will not be applied and you will not be eligible to win a jackpot prize for that round. While you are opted in, bets placed on Casino using bonus funds, golden chips or free spins will also deduct the Jackpot Stake Amount from your player balance and be eligible to win a jackpot prize.
- All jackpot wins are subject to verification and any decisions as to eligibility or any wins (including the amount thereof) are final. bet365 is not liable for technical, hardware or software failures or any unavailable or lost network connections which may result in incorrect information being displayed, or affect a player’s ability to take part in Jackpot365.
- In the event Jackpot365 is decommissioned and bet365 is in possession of player jackpot contributions, bet365 shall distribute any remaining funds to previously participating players and provide users with reasonable notice of the planned decommission. In the event the jackpot funds are transferred to a new Jackpot, bet365 shall determine the total amount of player contributed jackpot funds remaining in its possession, transfer such funds to the new jackpot and provide users with reasonable notice of the planned transfer.
- Without limiting any rights or remedies set forth in the bet365 Terms and Conditions, in the event any technical component(s) associated with the jackpot malfunctions or becomes unresponsive for any reason, any jackpot transaction that fails to process as a result will be voided, any Jackpot Stake Amount deducted from your account balance shall be refunded to you, and you will not be eligible to win a jackpot prize on that hand, spin, or round of the eligible game.
- bet365 reserves the right to modify or amend these Rules at any time. By opting in to participate in Jackpot365, you understand and agree to be bound by these Rules. bet365 may modify these Rules, cancel or modify any jackpot, add or remove eligible games, or exclude any individual(s) from participation Jackpot365, in each case, for any reason and in its sole discretion, at any time and without notice.
- Jackpot365 stakes will not qualify towards any rollover requirements for offers or promotions.
