Site Review
Posted by Bingo Blog
Jackpotjoy have been around for almost 8 years now. They started life as a games site but quickly added bingo to take advantage of the online boom. In 2010 they revamped the site and the focus is very much in the bingo area as they increased their rooms, range of games, number of 90 ball rooms and also introduced free bingo. The change has met with mixed reviews, but Jackpotjoy remain one of the leading UK bingo sites – at least in our view.
They offer a bingo room for a wide range of budgets. There are 1p/2p games throughout the day plus £1000 of free bingo – a new game takes place every half an hour. If you register and register a credit card you can also pick up £2 of free bingo off a nice CM. Well worth doing if you’re new.
Amongst the bingo games at Jackpotjoy are The Price is Right Bingo – a version of the TV programme that offers players the chance to win a Mini. We’re not too sure if this is still available, most certainly there’s no news about a Mini Winner for some time. Even so, whilst other sites are doing DOND Bingo etc, Jackpotjoy were already doing this game – in other words they’re quite innovative.
They also introduced Family Fortunes Team Bingo, a clever twist on the Team Bingo theme that lets your “family win” if you win!
Jackpotjoy though is the home of big bingo jackpots. By our reckoning they are one of sites with the highest payouts each month. The Full House Bingo jackpot and Bingo Gold jackpot can often climb to high amounts (tens of thousands of pounds) and this makes JPJ a must visit destination.

Readers of Bingo Blog will know that Jackpotjoy are one of our favourite bingo sites. During 2009 they celebrated their 7th Birthday but has it been a vintage year for them? Compared to the likes of Wink, Cheeky and Foxy we think 2009 has been another quiet, but steady year for Jackpotjoy.
They opened up the New Year by finally opening their second 90 Ball Full House Bingo room, about six months later...
