Jackpotjoy’s sister sites include Bally Casino, Double Bubble Bingo, Rainbow Riches Casino and Virgin Games. All of them run under the same UK Gambling Commission licence as Jackpotjoy, account number 38905.
Self-exclusion applies to every site in the group, but the cool-off function does not carry over. The welcome offers at the sister sites are not identical to the Jackpotjoy promo code, and Joy Points stay on Jackpotjoy.
We compared the four sister sites with Jackpotjoy on welcome offers and bingo rooms, counted at 8pm on 26 October 2026. Double Bubble Bingo is the top-rated sister site, and Virgin Games has the biggest free spins offer.

Jackpotjoy sister sites compared
The table below shows how the four Gamesys sister sites compare to Jackpotjoy.
| Site | Welcome offer | Bingo rooms | Rating /10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jackpotjoy (Baseline) | 50 free spins, no wagering | 16 | 8.2/10 |
| Double Bubble Bingo | 25 bingo tickets or 30 spins | 14 | 7.1/10 |
| Virgin Games | 70 free spins, no wagering | 13 | 6.7/10 |
| Bally Casino | 30 free spins, no wagering | 13 | 6.7/10 |
| Rainbow Riches Casino | 30 free spins, no wagering | 13 | 6.7/10 |
If you’re looking for sites like Jackpotjoy, Double Bubble Bingo is the one to try next, for its 14 bingo rooms and its choice of bingo tickets or spins.
How we rated the sister sites
Each site gets three scores, weighted as follows: offer value = 30%, bingo rooms = 40% and ways to play = 30%.
Offer value is the cash value of the welcome offer, with free spins and bingo tickets both valued at 10p each. Where a site offers a choice, we scored the higher of the two.
| Offer value | Points |
|---|---|
| £25 or more | 10 |
| £20 to £24.99 | 9 |
| £10 to £19.99 | 7 |
| £7 to £9.99 | 5 |
| £5 to £6.99 | 4 |
| £3 to £4.99 | 3 |
| Under £3 | 1 |
Bingo rooms start from Jackpotjoy’s 16, which scores 10, and each room fewer costs one point. Ways to play gives two points for each of slots, bingo, live casino, Slingo and sports in the site’s menu.
Where two ratings tie, the site with the higher bingo score ranks first, then the one with the higher offer score, then A to Z.
We counted the bingo rooms in each site’s main lobby, logged out, between 8pm and 8:30pm UK time on 26 October 2026. Rooms starting later counted, but private rooms and Slingo did not.
We also read each site’s terms, help centre and offer rules to see what carries over. For more information on how we rate casino sites, visit our best casino sites page.
What carries over between Jackpotjoy’s sister sites, and what does not
Sharing a licence doesn’t make the sites identical. The table below shows what is included across all the sites and what is not.
| What | Across all sites? | Where it says so |
|---|---|---|
| Self-exclusion | Yes, all sites | Each site’s help centre |
| Cool off | No, one site only | Site terms |
| Financial limits | No, one site only | Site terms |
| Account | Separate, but closures can link | Site terms, help centre |
| Loyalty points | Own site only at 3* | Points rules |
| Welcome offer | Not addressed** | Offer rules |
| UK licence | Yes, account 38905 | Gambling Commission register |
*Jackpotjoy, Virgin Games and Double Bubble Bingo say points stay on that site. **Each site’s offer is for its own new members; none mentions the other sites.
Jackpotjoy and the sister sites all offer a self-exclusion function, which can be accessed from the help centre of each site. Self-exclusion at one site covers them all: Jackpotjoy’s help centre says your other accounts “will also be closed”.
All of these sites are registered on GAMSTOP, so if you sign up to GAMSTOP, you will not be able to access any.
You can use the cool-off and financial limits functions at Jackpotjoy, but they only cover your Jackpotjoy account, so set them again at each sister site.
Account closures can be linked between the sites, but Joy Points stay behind: you can only redeem them on Jackpotjoy.
Payment methods and withdrawal times at the sister sites
All five sites list the same deposit methods, with one exception: Virgin Games does not list Instant Bank Transfer.
Each site takes Visa Debit, Visa Electron, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with a £10 minimum deposit. Our guide to Jackpotjoy deposit methods covers each one in more detail.
You can withdraw once your balance is above £10, back to the method you last deposited with. Apple Pay and Google Pay winnings go to your bank account instead of the wallet.
Each site says it processes winnings within 4 to 24 hours, and the time after that depends on the method:
| Withdrawal method | Time after processing |
|---|---|
| Visa Debit with Visa Direct | Within 4 hours |
| Other Visa Debit cards | Up to 3 working days |
| Mastercard | Up to 1 working day |
| Bank, Apple Pay or Google Pay | Up to 1 working day |
The times are the same at all five sites, so no sister site pays out faster than Jackpotjoy.
Jackpotjoy: the benchmark for its sister sites
Every sister site below is measured against Jackpotjoy, so here is how it does on the same three scores.
| Welcome offer | 50 free spins, no wagering |
| Bingo rooms | 16 at 8pm |
| Ways to play | 5 of 5 |
| Sportsbook | Yes |
Jackpotjoy’s welcome offer is 50 free spins with no wagering. The spins are on Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 2 at 10p each, so the offer is worth £5.
To get them, opt in before your first deposit, deposit £10 and play £10 on slots within 30 days. You then have 30 days to use the spins, and their winnings have no wagering.
It had 16 bingo rooms at 8pm, more than any sister site, with tickets from 1p to £5 and three free rooms, so there was a game for most budgets. Our Jackpotjoy review covers the site in full.
/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.sportsmole.co.uk%2Fonline%2F2026%2F11%2F01-jackpotjoy-bingo-lobby-mobile.webp)
What the sister sites add is choice. Virgin Games gives 20 more free spins, Double Bubble Bingo offers bingo tickets instead of spins, and Rainbow Riches Casino has a tab of its own Rainbow Riches games.
Rating: 8.2/10 (offer 4, bingo 10, ways to play 10)
Double Bubble Bingo: the only bingo ticket offer, plus a sportsbook
Double Bubble has 14 bingo rooms, the most of the four sister sites, though still two fewer than Jackpotjoy’s 16.
/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.sportsmole.co.uk%2Fonline%2F2026%2F11%2F02-double-bubble-bingo-lobby-mobile.webp)
The Double Bubble free spins offer isn’t as good as the one you’ll find at Jackpotjoy, with 30 free spins being offered to new players. They can pick 25 free bingo tickets instead.
| Welcome offer | 25 bingo tickets or 30 spins |
| Bingo rooms | 14 at 8pm |
| Ways to play | 5 of 5 |
| Sportsbook | Yes |
At 10p a ticket, the 25 tickets are worth £2.50, so we scored the 30 spins (£3) instead. You pick tickets or spins before your first deposit, and the choice is then locked in.
For the spins, the steps match Jackpotjoy’s. For the tickets, opt in before your first deposit, deposit £10 and play £10 on bingo, then use them within 30 days.
Pros
Cons
Where Double Bubble Bingo beats Jackpotjoy, and where it does not
Double Bubble beats Jackpotjoy on choice, as it is the only site in the group where new players can take bingo tickets instead of spins. It does not beat it on rooms or spins.
Like Joy Points, Double Bubble’s Reward Points stay on their own site. The help centre says they are unique to Double Bubble Bingo, and each point converts to 1p in cash.
Rating: 7.1/10 (offer 3, bingo 8, ways to play 10)
Virgin Games: best spins offer but no sportsbook
Virgin Games has the biggest free spins offer of the four sister sites, giving new players 70 free spins with no wagering requirements. That is 20 more than Jackpotjoy’s 50.
Virgin Games has 13 bingo rooms, joint-fewest of the four sister sites with Rainbow Riches and Bally Casino.
| Welcome offer | 70 free spins, no wagering |
| Bingo rooms | 13 at 8pm |
| Ways to play | 4 of 5 |
| Sportsbook | No |
For Jackpotjoy players looking for more free spins, Virgin Games is easily the best alternative from the four Gamesys sister-site options. The 70 spins are on Game of Thrones at 10p each, so the offer is worth £7.
/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportsmole.co.uk%2Fonline%2Fapp%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F11%2F03-virgin-games-bingo-lobby-mobile.webp)
As at Jackpotjoy, you opt in, deposit £10 and play £10 on slots, then have 30 days to use the spins.
Pros
Cons
Where Virgin Games beats Jackpotjoy, and where it does not
Virgin Games beats Jackpotjoy on spins, but its loyalty scheme stays on the site. The help centre says V Points can only be redeemed on the Virgin Games website, so they won’t carry over to Jackpotjoy.
Rating: 6.7/10 (offer 5, bingo 7, ways to play 8)
Bally Casino: a sportsbook up front, with casino and bingo behind it
Bally Casino is third of the four Jackpotjoy sister sites on our ratings, level on 6.7 with Virgin Games and Rainbow Riches. Its welcome offer is smaller than Jackpotjoy’s: 30 free spins, no wagering.
Bally’s site opens on its sportsbook, so the bingo is easy to miss. Switch to Casino at the top left and you’ll find a full bingo lobby, which had 13 rooms when we counted.
| Welcome offer | 30 free spins, no wagering |
| Bingo rooms | 13 at 8pm |
| Ways to play | 5 of 5 |
| Sportsbook | Yes |
Bally Casino suits Jackpotjoy players who want sports betting front and centre. Its spins are on Eye of Horus Legacy of Gold at 10p each, so the offer is worth £3.
The claim steps and the 30-day expiry are the same as at Jackpotjoy.
Pros
Cons
How Bally Casino compares with Jackpotjoy
Bally Casino matches Jackpotjoy on sport, as both have a sportsbook. Behind the Casino switch, its bingo lobby had tickets from 1p to £5 at 8pm, plus two free rooms, the same price range as Jackpotjoy.
/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportsmole.co.uk%2Fonline%2Fapp%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F11%2F04-bally-casino-bingo-lobby-mobile.webp)
Rating: 6.7/10 (offer 3, bingo 7, ways to play 10)
Rainbow Riches Casino: branded games and 30 free spins
Rainbow Riches is fourth on our ratings: its 6.7 matches Virgin Games and Bally Casino, but it loses both tie-breaks. Its welcome offer is 30 free spins on Rainbow Riches Pick N Mix, worth £3.
Rainbow Riches has 13 bingo rooms, the same as Virgin Games and Bally Casino.
| Welcome offer | 30 free spins, no wagering |
| Bingo rooms | 13 at 8pm |
| Ways to play | 5 of 5 |
| Sportsbook | Yes |
From a free-spins angle, Rainbow Riches is not the best sister site. That accolade goes to Virgin Games, though Rainbow Riches does have a sportsbook, which Virgin Games does not.
You claim them the same way as at Jackpotjoy, and they also last 30 days.
Pros
Cons
Where Rainbow Riches Casino beats Jackpotjoy, and where it does not
Rainbow Riches beats Jackpotjoy only for fans of its own slots, with a Rainbow Riches Games tab in the homepage menu. Like Jackpotjoy, it shows a logged-out visitor how many players are in each bingo room.
/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportsmole.co.uk%2Fonline%2Fapp%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F11%2F05-rainbow-riches-bingo-lobby-mobile.webp)
Rating: 6.7/10 (offer 3, bingo 7, ways to play 10)
Heart Bingo: a former sister site, not a current one
There’s a misconception that Heart Bingo is a current Jackpotjoy sister site, but this is not the case.
Heart Bingo is licensed to BV Gaming Limited, under account number 39576, and is not licensed to Gamesys. Double Bubble Bingo’s terms say its members could log in to Heart Bingo until 22 September 2021, and not since.

Jackpotjoy sister sites FAQs
Short answers to common questions about Jackpotjoy’s sister sites.
What are Jackpotjoy’s sister sites?
Jackpotjoy’s sister sites include Bally Casino, Double Bubble Bingo, Rainbow Riches Casino and Virgin Games. They are all Gamesys casinos, run by Gamesys Operations Limited under the same UK Gambling Commission licence, account 38905.
Who owns Jackpotjoy?
Jackpotjoy is operated by Gamesys Operations Limited, which is licensed in Great Britain under account number 38905. Its website footer names Bally’s Intralot in the copyright line, along with its affiliates and licensors.
Is Heart Bingo a Jackpotjoy sister site?
No. Heart Bingo is licensed to BV Gaming Limited, account 39576, not to Gamesys, so it is not one of Jackpotjoy’s sister sites.
If I self-exclude at Jackpotjoy, does it cover the sister sites?
Yes. Self-exclusion at Jackpotjoy does mean that you’ll also be excluded from the sister sites, as any other accounts you hold with the group will be closed. GAMSTOP goes further and covers every gambling site licensed in Great Britain.
Do my deposit limits carry over to the sister sites?
No. If you set a deposit limit at Jackpotjoy, the limit will only count for that site. Each sister site also sets its own starting limit for new players, so you must set deposit limits at each individual sister site.
Can I use my Jackpotjoy account on Virgin Games or Bally Casino?
No. If you register at Jackpotjoy, you will only have an account there. To use any of the sister sites, you must register at each one individually.
Can I claim a welcome offer at more than one sister site?
The rules don’t say. Each welcome offer is for new members of that particular site, and none of the offer rules mentions the other sister sites, so read each site’s rules before you join a second one.
Are Jackpotjoy’s sister sites safe?
Yes. Jackpotjoy’s sister sites operate legally in Great Britain. Jackpotjoy and the sister sites run under one UK Gambling Commission licence, account 38905, which anyone can check on the public register.
