What Is Jackpot365? How the bet365 Add-On Works

Last checked: 1 September 2026 (Europe/London). Updated 19 October 2026.

Short answer: Jackpot365 is bet365’s optional progressive jackpot add-on, not a slot. On eligible casino games it costs an extra 10p per paid round, and on eligible sports bets a small extra stake on your slip gets you in. The jackpot result is completely separate from your spin or bet, and you can opt out whenever you fancy. Bonus Code Poker breaks the whole thing down below.

Jackpot365 at a glance

What is Jackpot365?

Jackpot365 is bet365’s own in-house progressive jackpot system. The important thing to understand from the start is that it is not a slot. There is no “Jackpot365 game” you can load and play. Instead, it is an optional add-on that sits on top of other products: eligible casino games on one side, and eligible sports bets on the other.

When you opt in, a small extra contribution is added to each qualifying stake, and that contribution buys you entry into a shared progressive prize pool. Because the pool is fed by opted-in players across the platform, the displayed amounts grow over time until each tier is won and resets.

The feature launched at bet365 Casino in December 2025 and was extended to the sports betslip in June 2026, so it now spans both sides of the site. The two sides are managed separately, which we’ll come back to below.

How the casino side works: the extra 10p

On the casino side, the mechanics are simple. While you are opted in and playing an eligible game, every paid round costs an additional 10p on top of your chosen stake. That 10p is your Jackpot365 contribution for that round.

A couple of worked examples make it concrete:

• A 20p spin becomes a 30p spin — 20p to the game, 10p to Jackpot365.
• A £1 spin becomes £1.10 — £1 to the game, 10p to Jackpot365.

Notice the proportional effect. On a £1 stake, the add-on is a 10% surcharge. On a 20p stake, it is a 50% surcharge. The flat 10p weighs far more heavily on small-stakes play, which matters when you’re thinking about your session budget.

Crucially, the 10p changes nothing about the underlying game. The reels, paytable, bonus features and odds of the base slot are exactly the same whether you are opted in or not. Jackpot365 runs alongside the game rather than inside it.

How the sports side works

The published United Kingdom Jackpot365 rules specify a 50p entry stake for sports bets, compared with 10p for casino entry. Check the additional stake shown on your betslip before confirming your bet.

Two other points are worth flagging. First, the sports opt-in is separate from the casino opt-in. Switching Jackpot365 on for slots does not switch it on for your football accas, and vice versa. If you only want it on one side of the site, that is entirely possible. Second, not every bet qualifies — if the Jackpot365 option doesn’t appear on your slip, that bet isn’t eligible.

If your betslip is misbehaving more generally, our guide to fixing the bet365 bet slip not showing issue covers the common causes and fixes.

The four tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum

Jackpot365 runs four progressive pots at once, stacked in size:

• Bronze — the smallest pot, which tends to be won and reset most often.
• Silver — a step up in size and, typically, in how long it takes to drop.
• Gold — larger again.
• Platinum — the headline pot and the biggest of the four.

We deliberately haven’t quoted amounts here, because the values move constantly as contributions come in and prizes are paid out. The live Jackpot365 panel always shows the current figure for each tier, and that panel is the only number worth trusting at any given moment.

One thing the tier display does not do is tell you anything about your chances. A pot that has grown large is not “due” — a bigger number on the screen does not raise the probability of a win on your next round, and no prize at any tier is ever guaranteed. You can see the current tier values on the live panel once you’re signed in at bet365.

How a jackpot is actually awarded

This is the part that trips people up. The Jackpot365 result is decided entirely separately from the result of the game or bet you attached it to. You do not need to land a particular symbol combination, trigger a bonus round or win your sports bet to take a tier. Equally, hitting a big win on the base game does not make a jackpot any more likely.

In practice, that means a losing 20p spin can coincide with a jackpot award, and a winning spin can coincide with nothing from Jackpot365 at all. The two outcomes simply run in parallel.

When a tier is won, the award is paid as cash directly to the winner’s balance — there’s no bonus wallet or wagering hoop to jump through. Larger awards may be subject to additional checks before the money lands, which is standard practice for sizeable payouts, so a short delay on the biggest tiers shouldn’t alarm you.

How to opt in and opt out

Participation is entirely optional, and toggling it is straightforward:

• Casino: open an eligible game and look for the Jackpot365 panel. The opt-in control sits with the panel; switch it on to start contributing 10p per paid round, and switch it off whenever you want your spins back to their base cost.
• Sports: build a qualifying bet and check the betslip. If the bet is eligible, the Jackpot365 option appears on the slip with the contribution amount shown. Tick it to include that bet; leave it unticked to place the bet without any add-on.

Remember the two sides are independent: opting in on the casino does nothing to your sports bets, and the reverse is also true. You can dip in and out session by session without any penalty — the only thing that changes is whether the contribution is added to your stakes.

Which slots carry Jackpot365?

This page is written for United Kingdom customers on the United Kingdom bet365 product. Casino catalogues differ by country, so a United States lobby is not the same list. Check the Jackpot365 panel inside the casino, or the Jackpot365 section of the lobby, before you treat a title as eligible.

The eligibility test is refreshingly simple: if the Jackpot365 panel appears in the game, it can be offered on that game; if there’s no panel, don’t assume the game qualifies. The catalogue can and does change, and availability can also differ by country, so the panel itself is always the definitive check.

With that caveat in place, these are slots that have shown the Jackpot365 panel at the time of writing (1 September 2026):

• Kitchen Chaos Rush Hour
• Gold Cash bonus spins
• Red Wizard Fire Blaze Classics
• Big Bass Splash
• Dolphins Pearl Deluxe
• Bankin’ More Bacon
• King of Giza Mega Cash Collect & Link
• Explosive Frenzy
• Age of the Gods King of Olympus Fire Blaze Xtreme
• Pirots New World
• 15 Stars Ablaze
• Spin O’Reely
• Rick and Morty Strike Back
• Fishin’ Bigger Pots of Gold
• Book of Horus
• Age of the Gods Gold Trio
• Sizzling Hot Deluxe
• Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch
• Triple Money Jackpot Bells
• Ballin’

Treat this as a dated snapshot rather than a complete official catalogue. Titles are added and removed over time, so before you commit to a session, open the game and look for the panel — or browse the Jackpot365 section within the casino lobby to see the current line-up.

RTP and the extra 10p: why they’re not the same conversation

The base game’s RTP and Jackpot365’s RTP describe separate stakes. The published United Kingdom rules specify a theoretical RTP of 85% for Jackpot365.

Theoretical RTP is a long-run figure, not a promised return for a session or an individual entry. The extra Jackpot365 stake increases your total spend and does not improve the underlying game’s outcome.

Budgeting with Jackpot365 switched on

Because the contribution is flat rather than percentage-based on the casino side, it’s easy to underestimate its cumulative cost. The arithmetic is worth doing before a session, not after:

• 100 opted-in casino rounds add £10 in contributions on top of your ordinary stakes — regardless of whether those rounds cost 20p or £2 each.
• At 20p per spin, that £10 is half as much again as the £20 you’ve staked on the game itself.
• At £1 per spin, the same £10 sits alongside £100 in stakes — a much smaller share of your outlay.

Neither approach is right or wrong, but low-stakes players in particular should go in with clear eyes: the add-on is proportionally most expensive exactly where stakes are smallest. On the sports side, the same logic applies using whatever contribution your betslip displays. A sensible habit is to set your session budget with the contribution included, and to remember you can opt out at any point mid-session if you’d rather every penny went on the base game or bet.

Jackpot365 vs Dual Drop: not the same thing

bet365 Casino runs more than one jackpot concept, and it’s easy to muddle them. Jackpot365 is the optional, opt-in add-on described above, spanning casino and sports with its four Bronze-to-Platinum tiers. Dual Drop is a different product with its own structure and its own rules, covered in our separate guide to the bet365 Casino Dual Drop jackpots. If you see jackpot branding in a game, check which system you’re actually looking at before assuming the terms of one apply to the other.

The short version

• Jackpot365 is an optional progressive add-on, not a standalone game.
• Casino: an extra 10p per eligible paid round while opted in; the base game itself is unchanged.
• Sports: a separate contribution shown on the eligible betslip, with its own independent opt-in.
• Four tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum — with current values shown on the live panel.
• Awards pay as cash to your balance; the jackpot result is independent of your spin or bet result.
• A growing pot does not improve your chances, and no prize is ever guaranteed.
• The panel is the eligibility test: no panel, no Jackpot365 on that game or bet.

Used with a clear budget and a realistic view of what the 10p buys, Jackpot365 is a straightforward feature to fold into a session — and just as straightforward to switch off when you’d rather keep things simple.

Jackpot365: FAQs

Is Jackpot365 a free jackpot?

Sadly not. It costs an extra 10p per qualifying casino round, or the extra stake shown on your slip for sports. Don’t fancy paying it? Just opt out before you play.

Can I win Jackpot365 and still lose my bet or spin?

Yep. The jackpot draw runs on its own, so you can bag a Jackpot365 prize on a losing spin or bet, win the bet and miss the jackpot, or (most often) get neither.

Do I need a bonus code for Jackpot365?

No. Jackpot365 is just an account feature. BET247 is our bonus code for new sign-ups, and it doesn’t change anything about Jackpot365.
