A bet365 Casino customer has become the first player to win more than £1 million through the operator’s Jackpot365 feature after landing a £1.3m jackpot from a 10p spin.
The London-based player, Alex, was playing Ballin’ when he opted into the optional 10p Jackpot365 side stake after being prompted on screen. Moments later, he landed the top-tier Platinum Jackpot, turning a total 20p outlay into a life-changing payout.
“It was just like any other evening I chose to go on to bet365 Casino, but this time I went from unlucky to lucky,” he told bet365.
“The pop-up came up offering the chance to opt in and use 10p to potentially win big. I thought nothing of it, but it then immediately appeared saying I’d won!
“I thought there must have been some kind of error, and I thought the winnings were thousands initially.
“I came out from the app, logged back in, and I realised that this was no joke. I’m so happy that a dream like this has come true for me, and I can go and buy my own home.”
£50m paid out and counting
The win is the biggest recorded since bet365 introduced Jackpot365 in December 2025. According to the operator, almost £50 million has been paid out across more than 112,000 jackpot wins since launch, with June proving to be the biggest month to date after more than £18 million was won by players.
Jackpot365 is an optional progressive jackpot that runs separately from the casino game or sports bet being placed. Players can choose whether to opt in, with the additional jackpot stake having no impact on the outcome of the underlying game or bet.
Originally launched on bet365 Casino, the feature has since been expanded to sports betting, where customers can opt into four progressive jackpots when placing eligible bets through the sportsbook.
