    Jackpot Euros

    The Jackpot Euro is virtual currency that’s hidden in bonus boxes - Collect as many of these bonus boxes as possible. The Jackpot Money you collect will be added to your Jackpot Arena balances. The highest Jackpot available is 10,000 Jackpot Euros.

    If you win a Jackpot Arena match, you’ll receive the amount of Jackpot Euros you collected in real money and the amount of Euros in your Jackpot will be reset to 0. If you lose, your Jackpot total will remain the same and you’ll be able to collect more virtual currency until the next Jackpot Arena match.


    Jackpot Arena

    The Jackpot Arena will take place on the second Sunday of every month. All players who are 18 years of age or older may participate. (Please see restrictions on participation below).

    The Jackpot Arena winner will receive the amount of virtual currency in their Jackpot in cash. If the winner hasn't collected any virtual currency, they won't receive any cash. The cash prize will be wired directly to the winner's account. When the Jackpot Arena is over, the Bigpoint Support Team will contact the winner as quickly as possible to get their banking information.

    Below you will find the participation conditions for the Jackpot Arena. Further information can also be found in the FAQ.
