King Jackpot
An archived review of a bingo site that has closed
King Jackpot is no longer trading and nothing on this page is an offer, a recommendation or a link. It is kept as a record of a review this site published when the brand was running, which was in the 2000s.
Any bonus, jackpot, card price or percentage quoted below is a quotation from that old review and is not a current offer. It could not be claimed if you wanted to: the site is gone. Bonus terms at licensed British sites have also changed since — playthrough is capped at ten times and a single offer may no longer mix bingo with casino games. What the terms mean now.
For sites that are trading and licensed, see the sites we have checked.
What it was
King Jackpot was a British site — sterling cashier, British marketing, “Best British Bingo” across the top of our review. It advertised more than two million pounds a month in bingo jackpots and grand prizes, and gave five pounds free on registration, credited to the real-money balance once the software was downloaded and the account opened.
Our review reproduced the site’s own getting-started questions, including how to claim the five pounds and whether the site was for play or for money, which gives a fair sense of how new all of this was to its readers.
The software
Downloadable software, sterling cashier.
What it tells you about the period
Five pounds credited straight to a real-money balance on registration is a more generous arrangement than anything on our current list, and it is instructive about what changed. A modern no-deposit offer arrives as bonus credit with a playthrough and a conversion cap, because operators learned what a withdrawable cash gift costs — and because the rules on advertising offers tightened. Our page on no deposit bingo covers what the offer looks like now.
Why this page still exists
Most bingo sites from this period are gone, and the usual way to deal with their review pages is to delete them or to redirect them to something that pays. We have done neither. A review this site published is part of its record, and a reader who arrives from a twenty-year-old link deserves to find out what happened rather than to be redirected to an advertisement.
