About JackpotStar
JackpotStar is one of many brands sits under the Skill on Net umbrella, so you probably already know the basics if you’ve played at sites like PlayOJO or Slots Magic. The DNA is essentially the same across all of these sites: a massive slot collection, a well-organised lobby and plenty of ongoing tournaments and promotions.
I like the theming but it’s nothing incredibly remarkable. The site used to be a brand tie-in with a famous TV show, so it had a bit more personality.
Still, it’s nice that the site tries to tie the brand name into the design, featuring a dark-blue background with bursts of yellow stars. And because this is Skill on Net, you get an operator with a solid track record.
How JackpotStar Earned Its Rating
- Offer Quality: Daily promotions, slot tournaments, and a loyalty trail – but wagering requirements are on the steep side.
- Payment Methods: Lots of options for fast withdrawals, including PayPal, Trustly, and Apple Pay.
- Game Choice: Massive library with all the big names (Pragmatic, NetEnt, Playtech, IGT) plus smaller innovators like ELK and Nolimit City.
- Navigation: One of the better Skill on Net lobbies, with themed categories and extra game info before you play.
- Customer Support: Standard live chat and email; functional but not flashy.
Casino Games & Lobby Design
Skill on Net sites are known for sheer game volume, and JackpotStar is no exception. The library covers all the bases:
- Big-name studios: NetEnt, Playtech, Pragmatic Play, IGT.
- Innovators: ELK, Nolimit City, Thunderkick — studios that push new mechanics and quirkier themes.
- Classics: Novomatic is in the mix too, which isn’t always a given on UK sites.
That mix of old and new is what I like most about these sites. You get tried-and-tested titles like Starburst or Book of Ra alongside fresh experiments like Mental or Toro 7s.
Progressive jackpots are well covered too, with all the big networks represented, like Red Tiger’s Daily Jackpots and Blueprint Gaming’s Jackpot King.
What really stood out to me is how much thought has gone into the game lobby categories. You’ll actually find all of the same categories on all Skill on Net sites but it’s just nice to see that the operator has put some thought into organising lobby. Some of my favourite examples when browsing the site were:
- Cops on a Mission with titles like Inspector Gadget and Dino PD
- Let’s Go Fishing with Big Bass Bonanza and Fishin’ Frenzy
- Egyptian Wonders with Cleopatra and Cygnus
These are fun to browse and actually make it easier to stumble into games you might not otherwise try. Alongside those, there’s the New and Trending categories, which stay updated with daily releases and genuinely reflect what other players are playing.
Another standout feature I appreciated about the game lobby was the little “i” button. You click that on any game, and you’ll see detailed information before playing — provider, RTP, features, volatility, even how many times the game has been played in the last six hours. Some games even show a star rating. This is a really handy addition, especially when so many casinos just dump you straight into the slot without any context.
Unfortunately, that’s about as far as it goes. When you click on “All Slots,” you just get a wall of game thumbnails with no real way to filter them. You can’t browse by theme, features or even studios – so you really have to rely on the categories that the operator sets out for you.
Promotions & Bonuses
There’s lots of great promotions on at JackpotStar, as well. You’ll see both network-wide offers like Pragmatic Play’s Drops & Wins alongside some more unique promos too.
One that stood out to me was Insure Your Gameplay, where you deposit twice in a day and get free spins for every £25 that doesn’t trigger a win. It’s a bit quirky and not something I’ve seen often, which adds some personality to the promotions page.
The slot tournaments are also worth noting. These come in two flavours:
- Freeroll tournaments (join for free and play your spins, with small prize pools of around £50).
- Buy-in tournaments (£1 entry, with prize pools up to £500).
The process is simple: join, play your Tournament Spins, and check your leader board rank. If you’re lagging behind, you can re-buy to improve your score. It’s a nice social feature that adds another dimension beyond just spinning on your own.
Wagering Requirements
This is one of the drawbacks, sadly. Wagering is set at 60x, which is very steep compared to lots of other competitors I’ve played with. If you’re bonus-focused, this is something to keep in mind. For casual players who treat free spins as a bit of extra fun rather than a path to cash-outs, it’s less of a problem. But still, 60x is one of the highest figures you’ll see on the UK market.
Loyalty Program
JackpotStar uses the Skill on Net “loyalty trail” system. As you play, you move along a path with different levels, unlocking prizes as you go. The trail tells you how many points are needed for the next level, but it doesn’t really explain how points are earned, which makes the whole thing feel a bit vague.
Still, the idea of levelling up and unlocking bonuses as you go is appealing. It’s a small layer of gamification that gives you something to aim for beyond the spins themselves.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Banking is straightforward and covers most of the bases. You’ve got debit cards, bank transfers, PayPal, Apple Pay and Trustly. All of these can be used for deposits and withdrawals (except Apple Pay – that’s withdrawals only) and the minimum for both is £10.
The big plus here is speed. Withdrawals are normally processed in under 12 hours, which is far quicker than networks like Jumpman or even some Aspire brands.
Bingo at JackpotStar
Bingo is tucked away at JackpotStar, but it’s definitely there. The odd thing, though, is that you don’t see the full lobby straight off the bat. You need to click into a game and then hit the home button to bring up the proper bingo schedule with the quick-buy options. It works, but it feels a bit clunky compared to more direct lobbies.
Once you do get into it, the variety is good. Ticket prices start at 1p in rooms like Boom Box Bingo and run up to 25p for the bigger jackpot rooms such as Super Heavy Weight. Most sit in that sweet spot of 5p–10p, which makes it easy to keep playing without burning through your balance too quickly.
Some of the highlights I found were:
- Beachball Blast (from 5p a ticket, with a jackpot over £8,000 when I checked)
- Heavy Weight / Super Heavy Weight Bingo (bigger 90-ball rooms with jackpots up to £23,000+)
- Drop Pots (split into different prize tiers, a nice twist on the usual format)
- The Jackpot Room (where the clue’s in the name — pots running into the tens of thousands)
Games run in 30-, 75-, 80-, and 90-ball formats, so there’s variety if you don’t want to stick to the standard 90-ball setup. I also spotted some fun novelty rooms like Animingo and Big Bass Bingo which makes things feel a bit fresher.
The rooms were active when I looked, with a mix of smaller groups (7–12 players in the penny and 5p games) and busy rooms with 100+ players chasing the big jackpots. That balance is good: smaller rooms give you a fighting chance, while the large ones mean prize pools are worthwhile.
Final Thoughts
JackpotStar is a solid addition to the Skill on Net network. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it does add a few flourishes that make it stand out: the starry theme, playful game categories, and detailed info panels before you play.
On the downside, the 60x wagering is steep, and the loyalty trail could be explained better. But those negatives are offset by fast withdrawals, a huge mix of providers, and genuinely useful lobby design.
My advice would be just to use the themed categories as a way to discover new games, enjoy the tournaments for a bit of extra competition, and lean on the quick cash-outs as the site’s best feature. JackpotStar might not be unique in every way, but it gets the important things right.
