The bingo rooms feature catchy, fun music and sounds, which help immerse the player into the game and it's excitement, as well as letting you know if the bingo window is minimised in your tray when games are about to begin. These can be turned off, though, at your convenience via tick boxes at the bottom of the bingo screens.

Prizes
On Jackpotjoy they offer prizes for both "free-for-fun" when you play without paying any cash, and in for their "play-for-real" games with actual money. Prizes in the "free-for-fun" mode include prize draws using free prize points earned from playing, winning great prizes that include vouchers, game consoles, cameras, holidays and phones. In "play-for-real" mode you may instantly win up to 1000 times your stake in games, game jackpots or huge progressive jackpots up to thousands of pounds.

Bonuses
Jackpotjoy often offers competitions and new games which give its players the chance to get lucky and win a cash prize, including a current promotion offering the chance for members to be entered into a prize draw to win £1,000 when a member emails in a photo of themselves getting into the party spirit.

Chat
The Jackpotjoy bingo chat is clean and simple, with text in varying colours to help discern who is talking when. There are "Hosts Parties" at certain times of the day, where chat moderators or "Hosts" create games and competitions in bingo chat rooms, with the chances to win instant cash prizes.

Site Navigability
Navigating the site is quick and easy, although there is much more information in smaller text than its rivals, and many more links and games in one place rather than categorised in smaller, simpler pages. This has the advantage of knowing where everything is on one page, but is a little busy and doesn't advertise the games to their potential.

Customer Support
If you have any questions about the site, there is a handy database of commonly asked enquiries which is searchable, as well as a free phone number which promises to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, a support email and a postal address to contact.

Extra Features
Themed Jackpotjoy wallpapers are downloadable to the site to brighten up your computer, as well as a variety of mini competitions to win cash, changing regularly, and gadgets such as ipods or bingo credit.
