What we think

Jackpotjoy Bingo

As far as gaming sites go, we are all use to hearing the same names over and over again. Well today we have a new one for you, Jackpotjoy. While we say new, many of you have been hip to this secret for sometime now. You see it seems as though Jackpotjoy happens to have the busiest hall in all of the UK. But we don't take their word for it, no, that little tidbit comes compliments of the independent corporate analyst Durlacher. Is seems as though this site has gone form under the radar to off the charts in really no time at all. Of course we wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so we packed our virtual bags and headed out.

We still don't know about their Bingo, but one thing players will not have any worries about is the safety and security of the site. Jackpotjoy is owned by Gamesys, a UK based company that is doing their own share of taking over the market. Gamesys operates several sites throughout the entertainment industry, and a bad reputation for secure play would spell the end of days to them. One brief side note, in 2004 Gamesys was names eGaming Review's "Soft Gaming Operator of the Year." Pretty snazzy huh?

At Jackpotjoy players can choose to take part in the Bingo games or any number of other attractions. We see it as having our cake and eating it too. This snappy looking sight invites you right in and makes you want to stay awhile. Even with all the other distractions in the end, it's the bingo we're after. And as soon as we can tear ourselves away from staring at the Jackpot totals, we will be on our way.

All we need a quick stop by registration, and we will be waist deep in all the Bingo we can take. But first we have to find the right page. We thought we had seen all the important information, but it turned out that this was one link hidden right in plain sight. We eventually found our way home, but for a true beginner it would be nice if the "Join Now," link was larger and easier to spot. Beyond that we were all signed up and ready to play in just a few short minutes.

Jackpotjoy's design team really out did themselves with the overall look and feel of their actual gaming console. They have taken everything a player could want and wrapped it all up in one very pleasing package. Players will now have their Bingo, Chat, and minigames all arranged in one convenient place. This is great because once you get started; there is no reason to move. Everything from game time to break time is ready and waiting for you. We feel that a set-up like this shows a real attention to the details and a concern for the player's experience. They have obviously done their homework and are now putting that knowledge to good use.

We did not find a new player bonus on the site but freeplay is available for all players. A nice feature about the freeplay at this hall is that you can cash in your points for chances at some pretty nice prize drawings. This really is nice of Jackpotjoy and something we have not seen from any of their completion.

When the time comes for the real money action we don't think you'll be disappointed there either. Since this is the most popular site in the UK, all those people make for some pretty healthy totals in the actual jackpots. We always find that to be great incentive to play just one more game.

So what's the catch, right? The hall does offer their games in a format available to Mac users, but we couldn't seem to make it load just right on that system. Everything was there, and you could use all the features, they just didn't show up right where they were supposed to. Also there is no phone support for UK customers, and can we ditch the pop-ups please?

So at the end of the day would we send you to Jackpotjoy to spend your Bingo bucks? An enthusiastic yes would be the answer to that question. There are a lot of sites out there competing for your attention, but Jackpotjoy really delivers what the customers wants. They have an innovative fresh approach to the game that really sets them apart from the pack. We have no trouble seeing why they are the most popular online gaming site in the UK.
