JackpotCity Casino
JackpotCity Overview
JackpotCity is one of the longest-running online casinos in the world, having operated since 1998. The brand is owned by Bayton Ltd and licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), with additional licensing from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. Powered exclusively by Microgaming software, JackpotCity is most famous as the home of Mega Moolah — the progressive jackpot slot network that has produced more multi-million-dollar wins than any other in online casino history.
Welcome Bonus
- 100% match on each of your first 4 deposits — up to $400 each
- Total potential bonus: $1,600
- Wagering: 70x on bonus amount
- Minimum deposit: $10 per stage
- 7-day window to claim each deposit bonus
The 70x wagering is high by modern standards. Players should look at the loyalty programme as the more long-term value driver rather than counting on the welcome offer.

Mega Moolah — The Reason People Choose JackpotCity
Mega Moolah deserves its own section. Since launch in 2006, this progressive slot has paid out over $1.5 billion in prize money including a record-breaking €18.9 million win in 2018 and numerous other 7- and 8-figure jackpots. JackpotCity has hosted multiple Mega Moolah winners over the years and remains one of the most reliable casinos to play this iconic slot.
Banking
JackpotCity supports the standard international methods plus several African-friendly options:
- Visa, Mastercard
- Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz
- Paysafecard
- Bank transfer
- EFT (South African players)
- Bitcoin (in selected regions)
- Multi-currency support including USD, EUR, GBP, ZAR
Note: JackpotCity does not directly integrate mobile money services like M-Pesa or MTN MoMo. Kenyan and Ghanaian players generally use card or e-wallet methods.
Loyalty Programme
JackpotCity Loyalty Club is a multi-tier programme with 6 levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Privé. Higher tiers earn points faster and unlock perks including bonus money, free spins, personalised offers and dedicated VIP managers.
Mobile
JackpotCity's mobile site works smoothly on iOS and Android. There is a dedicated Android APK plus an iOS app via the App Store in some regions. Game performance is excellent thanks to Microgaming's well-optimised HTML5 engine.
Pros and Cons

- MGA + Kahnawake licensed
- Mega Moolah and other major progressives
- Premium Microgaming content only
- 6-tier loyalty programme
- South African Rand accounts supported
- Live casino by Evolution
Weaknesses

Our Verdict
JackpotCity is the casino of choice if your priority is chasing life-changing progressive jackpots. The combination of MGA licensing, 20+ years of operating history and direct access to the Mega Moolah jackpot network makes it a uniquely trustworthy home for jackpot hunters. The 70x bonus wagering is the main drawback, and players who want a giant game library or mobile money support will need to look elsewhere.
Final score: 4.7 out of 5 stars.
