Jackpot Joy Bingo
There are many household names in the UK, such as Virgin or Butlins, associated with the Bingo world; Jackpotjoy is not one of those names. We think that is about to change. In the short time Jackpotjoy has been in existence, they have managed to do quite a lot. So much in fact that in February of 2005 Durlacher, a completely independent corporate analyst, pronounced them to be the most popular online Bingo site in the UK. Quite and accomplishment for any site, much less one that has been one the scene less time than we can count on our fingers.
We have to give them credit though, they come from good stock. Their parent company, Gamesys, is doing their own part to take the gaming world by storm. Owned and operated right here in the UK, Gamesys currently runs quite the impressive collection of online entertainment sites. They are growing fast, and winning a few awards of their own along the way. A company doesn’t get this big this fast by forgetting to take care of its players. Gamesys has a good reputation for security, and there is no way they want to lose that. Player can rest assured that all their sensitive info is in good hands.
At Jackpotjoy they are so much more than just a great game of Bingo. They want their players to never have a dull moment while playing with them, and they work hard to provide the variety and spice that requires. We loved the instant win options for those times when you just need a Bingo break, but what we were really drawn to was the jackpots. These tantalizing treats made us almost giddy at the thought of finally getting to play.
Before we could get into the game though we had to set our daubers aside just long enough to register on the site. We found registration to be blessedly straight forward and simple. It is always nice not to have some long process to fight your way through. It would be a little more user friendly however if the link were easier to find. The “Join Now!” button was on the small side and tended to blend in rather than jump out and grab us.
One thing that did jump out and grab us was the Bingo. In fact it was so wonderful that we completely forgive them for the whole registration thing. You may have to look for that little button, but once you load your game, that’s the last thing you’ll have to search for. Jackpotjoy really delivers on a first class game complete with all the perks we could ask for, and a few we didn’t know we could want. The chat feature loads right into your gaming console which while we have seen that before, is always our favorite delivery system. What really shakes things up is the fact that the instant win games also load right in to the same screen. We know that everyone needs a change of pace every once in awhile, and this is a great way to present those options. A nice finishing touch here is that while your game is loading Jackpotjoy pops up a new player guide. Some sites we have found don’t even offer these, and it is especially nice that you don’t have to go look for it.
It is hard when you are new to a hall to know where you want to go and what you will find the most entertaining, especially when there is money involved. Don’t worry, Jackpotjoy has you covered. They made the decision to offer freeplay on several of their gaming options. What this means to you is that you can take your time and find all your favorite places before making a financial commitment. Also as you take part in these free options you will accrue points as your winnings. These points can be turned in to chances in prize drawings held right on site. This is an option we could get very used to.
When the time comes to move into the money realm you are sure to find a great game ready and waiting to play, anytime day or night. There are always a ton of people online just waiting for you to join them in a game. When you attract players in sheer numbers like this, it is directly reflected in the size of the jackpots. Just one more nice prize for you to win!
As much as we love this hall we feel a responsibility to point out what we felt to be a few weak areas. Jackpotjoy is owned and operated right here at home in the UK, so why do they not offer phone support to those customers. Currently free phone based customer service is only available to the sites US customers. We have tried, but we just can’t figure this one out. Also for those of you out there who run the Internet explorer web browser on a Mac you might find that your screen just doesn’t look right. Everything will work just fine, but none of the elements will load in quite the right place. It is awesome that the site is available for Mac users as a good portion of them aren’t, but go ahead and follow through rather than just throwing something together. And the last point we have to make here concerns pop-ups. We don’t like them, no one likes them, get rid of them.
Jackpotjoy is truly a joy to take part in. They offer players the chance at a high quality game unlike any we have seen before. In our opinion any player who found themselves at this hall, would not find themselves disappointed in any way.
