If the range of games is what is most important to you, then this operator is certainly the right place for you. You have the regular 75- and 90-ball rooms but there are also some very peculiar additions to the lobby. Gamesys are known for their Bejeweled Bingo, which combines the favourite 90-ball game with a standard game of Bejeweled. You have to purchase at least 6 tickets to qualify for the Bejeweled Challenge. It will take place before the game starts. For 1 minute you will have to reach a score as high as possible to receive more tickets playing the regular Bejeweled game. There’s also a progressive jackpot in this game that keeps accumulating until it’s won. To get it, all you have to do is `bingo in 38 calls or fewer.

Two other really cool rooms are the TV-show based Game Show Bingo and Take Me Out. Game Show Bingo is also a 90-ball game with a bonus round. This time actually, the bonus games are 3: Sumo, Bungee and Balloon Pop Bonus Game. All of them are skill games in which you try to achieve a high score to win free tickets. In the Sumo game you have to hit one of 3 sumo wrestlers with one of five balls in different colours. Each sumo wrestler brings you a different number of points. In the Bungee bonus round you run along and collect boxes. The boxes are large, medium and small and of course the small ones bring you the most points since they are the hardest to get. In the Balloon Pop game you have to pop a balloon of a certain colour that will be displayed in the game area. Game Show Bingo has a community jackpot, which is accumulated by taking a share of each sold ticket. If you get a Full House in 40 balls or fewer, you will get 50% of the Community Jackpot and the other 50% will be shared by all players who have a ticket for the game. The Fantastic 51 Jackpot will reward you with 1000x the price of the ticket for the respective game if you bingo in 51 calls. And finally, let me tell you about the Take Me Out room. It hosts 75-ball games, you aim for the heart-shaped pattern which is daubed in 15 boxes and there is a bonus feature themed on the popular TV-show. 30 girls are displayed and each has a number and each has an assigned number. The light of the number of each girl will be turned off when her number is called. If at the end of the game you have 18 lights still turned on, you and everybody who’ve bought in will win the community prize. Otherwise, you will get a consolation prize, which could be a jackpot, or 1-3 tickets.

A few words about the side-games section. This is the one and only operator we know of that offers all the slots in demo mode – all of them. You can spin the reels a few times just to get a feel for the game before you spend your own cash and that’s a great opportunity. Even slots like Fluffy Favourites, which is not found in demo mode anywhere else can be played in practice mode here. Here’s a short summary of the side-games section. There are 75 slots including 6 PJP slots, 18 casino games, video poker including 2 PJP games and 8 scratch cards. What do you think? Is it enough for a lazy afternoon?

The Welcome Bonus for Newcomers

The welcome bonus here is great for people who prefer to make a statement with their first deposit, if you know what I mean. If you are going to put in just a tenner (and you will still receive a bonus, don’t get me wrong) maybe you will find a more generous bingo operator with a fixed bonus. Jackpotjoy Bingo rewards bigger deposits and this is great for all bingo ‘high rollers’.

Mobile Solutions – Games and Features in the App

There is a Jackpotjoy Bingo mobile page and an app where you will find a selection of games and some weekly/monthly promos. At the moment, there is a native app only for the iOS users while all Android owners can use the mobile page. We have to tell you there is no bingo on the app, which might sound ridiculous at first. I couldn’t wrap my mind around it for a few moments so I kept looking for a tab or a subsection with a hidden bingo room. There wasn’t one. Surprisingly, Gamesys are still working on a fully functional mobile platform so the operators using their software are still in the process of going mobile. On the bright side, the Jackpotjoy mobile platform lets you manage your account, deposit and withdraw, play favourite slots and take part in certain promos. We’ll keep an eye out for developments and update the info as soon as there is a change.

Have a Look Around Even Before You Join

It’s nice to see what you are offered before you sign up for it, right. Well, we’ve got you covered. Watch this short video to see the most important features of the site and have a look at the lobby, the bingo rooms and the depositing process.

Available Payment Methods and Limits

There are 7 banking options at Jackpotjoy, 4 of them are just regular debit/credit cards, PayPal and Paysafecard. As we’ve already explained in our PayPal article this method is very secure and very convenient because you can make both deposits and withdrawals. On the other hand Paysafecard is just a voucher you can grab on the go, while shopping and still play online even if you don’t have a bank account/card or don’t want to share your financial information online for some reason. The minimum deposit on the site is £10 and the maximum is different for each banking method. If you deposit by Visa/Master, the maximum you can transfer per transaction is £20,000; PayPal allows up to £5,500 per payment and for Paysafecard the number is £750. You can also impose weekly self-limits if you think that the games may be a little bit too tempting at times. And don’t worry, you can change them any time.

Company Fact File: A Success Story

Where do I start now. Jackpotjoy is operated by Profitable Play Limited, a subsidiary of Gamesys. The site uses the software of the mother company as I already mentioned before. It is licensed by the Gambling Commission of the United Kingdom and is certified by an array of responsible gambling organisations like GamCare. The operator was launched in 2001 and since then it has developed so much that now it is one of the most recognised Uk brands.

When it comes to awards, Jackpotjoy is the undisputed leader. Just in 2015 alone they have won 5 prestigious awards in 2 ceremonies. These are the eGR Awards and the Which Bingo Awards. The first one is and industry-led event, so the awarded operators are judged by a jury of highly-qualified experts with years of experience in this niche. Jackpotjoy got the awards for the Best Innovation in Bingo and the Best Marketing Campaign at the eGR Awards. The other ceremony one reflects the opinion of the real players who vote for the different operators months before the event. The Which Bingo Awards crowned Jackpotjoy as the Best Online Bingo Site and it got 2 more awards for the Best Chat Team and the Best Online Bingo Promo. The fact that the operator scooped up awards from both ceremonies is the real guarantee for success.

Editor’s Experience on the Site: Pros and Cons

Our team was already familiar with the brand so we though there was not so much they can add to surprise us. Well, there was. We didn’t know about Game Show Bingo, for instance, because it was launched last year. We also love the fact that the side-game section is now richer than before. However, we were really disappointed to find out there is no bingo in the mobile app, but we contacted the team at Jackpotjoy and we have their promise that they are working on it day and night. So all in all, we are quite pleased with the site. Pros: branded bingo rooms: Take Me Out, Bejeweled, Game Show; all side games can be played in demo mode first; PayPal is accepted; varied promotions every month Cons: no bingo in the mobile app; live chat is not open 24/7
