Bet365 Launches Jackpot365 Add-On for Sports Betting
Introduction to Jackpot365
Bet365 has introduced Jackpot365, a new optional add-on feature available to players in the UK, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Ontario, with upcoming launches planned for Michigan and Brazil. This feature can be added to sports betting slips, offering an extra layer of excitement to traditional bets.
Understanding the Jackpot365 Feature
Jackpot365 is a progressive jackpot system that players can opt into alongside qualifying casino games on Bet365 Casino. It operates independently of the casino games themselves, meaning it does not affect the game’s outcome. Players have the freedom to join or leave the Jackpot365 feature at any time.
Since its debut in December 2025, Jackpot365 has rapidly gained popularity. As a progressive jackpot, its prize pool grows continuously with each contribution from participating players, resulting in varying jackpot amounts that can reach significant sums.
To date, the feature has awarded over $66 million through more than 112,000 jackpot wins, averaging around $595 per winner. The operator notes that the theoretical Return to Player (RTP) for Jackpot365 stands at about 85%, representing the portion of each wager allocated to funding the jackpot and its reserve.
Sports bettors have also benefited from this feature since its introduction for bet slips. So far, there have been 832 jackpot wins in the sports betting category, with total winnings exceeding $345,000 and an average prize value a little above $400.
How Jackpot365 Differs Between Casino and Sports Betting
For players on the casino side, opting into Jackpot365 adds approximately $0.14 to each game round or spin they play, in addition to their base bet. On the sports betting side, the add-on is connected to individual betting slips, with an extra cost of roughly $0.68 per wager. This higher fee for sports bets is balanced by an increased likelihood of winning the jackpot.
This pricing difference aligns with the distinct nature of casino and sports betting sessions. Casino games typically involve many rounds in a session, offering numerous chances to participate in the jackpot. Conversely, sports bets often take longer to settle and provide fewer participation opportunities in one session. Therefore, the increased buy-in for sports betting helps to equalize the jackpot winning chances across both forms of play.
A representative from Bet365 described Jackpot365 as an excellent enhancement to their sports betting platform, emphasizing that the feature was developed internally. They highlighted that this innovative addition brings more excitement and added value to the user experience each time they use the platform.
