The Hot Drops Jackpot is a progressive jackpot that gives you the chance to win big on participating games. Every round contributes to growing the jackpots that must be won before going over their maximum limits.
Jackpot overview
1. Opt in to the jackpot.
2. Play any participating game with a minimum stake of £0.10.
3. With each round, you’ll also pay an additional £0.10 jackpot jackpot contribution, which goes directly into the prize pools.
4. The jackpots must be won before going over their maximum limits.
5. Jackpot wins are triggered randomly on qualifying rounds. Winnings are credited directly into player accounts.
How to take part
Join the jackpot:
• Opt in to the jackpot through the casino lobby widget or by using the jackpot widget displayed at the bottom of each participating game.
• After you opt in, you'll remain opted in until you choose to opt out. You can easily opt out through the casino lobby widget or from within the widget available on any participating game.
• By opting in, you agree to pay an additional jackpot contribution of £0.10 per game round played on participating games.
• When you're opted in, the toggle in the jackpot widget will appear active and display the jackpot contribution amount. To opt out, switch the toggle off.
Stakes and jackpot contributions:
• Play any eligible game to participate. The minimum stake to qualify for the jackpot is £0.10.
• With each game round you’ll pay an additional jackpot contribution of £0.10. This amount is fixed and cannot be changed.
• The jackpot contribution will be deducted from your player balance after each corresponding game round is completed.
• The jackpot contribution forms part of your total stake.
• If your stake is close to your maximum allowed limit (£2 or £5, depending on age), and adding the jackpot contribution pushes you over this limit, your contribution will be cancelled for that round.
• When you're opted into the jackpot, the game net position doesn't reflect the jackpot contributions. Unibet displays your net position separately, outside the game, accurately reflecting the true position including jackpot contributions.
Eligible games:
• Within each participating game, you'll find the jackpot widget displayed at the bottom of the game. You can find a list of eligible games in the online casino lobby.
• If the jackpot widget is not displayed within a game, playing rounds in that game will not contribute to or qualify for jackpot prizes.
• Free spin rounds do not contribute to the jackpot.
• Rounds played in “Play for fun" mode do not contribute to the jackpot.
How the jackpot works:
The jackpot is a progressive "must-hit" jackpot. This means that every jackpot round contributes to growing jackpots across different tiers, each of which is guaranteed to trigger before going over its specified maximum limit.
• The maximum limit for each tier (values are defined in GBP and will be converted to your local currency where applicable):
o Mini: £100
o Minor: £500
o Major: £5,000
o Grand: £1,000,000
• When a jackpot is won, the minimum start-up values for each jackpot are as follows (defined in GBP and will be converted to your local currency where applicable):
o Mini: £50
o Minor: £350
o Major: £3,500
o Grand: £350,000
• Each jackpot contribution is distributed across the jackpot tiers in the following proportions:
o Mini:46.35%
o Minor: 15%
o Major: 5%
o Grand: 3.65%
• When playing in currencies other than GBP, the maximum limits shown in your local currency may vary, as they are updated daily based on the current exchange rate.
• Jackpot prize pools are shared across multiple jurisdictions.
• Overall, 70.17% of jackpot contributions are returned to players (RTP). This is separate from each game's individual RTP, which may vary and is specified in the rules of each game.
Currency information:
• The base currency for the jackpot is GBP. For gameplay outside the UK, jackpot contributions and winnings are converted to local currency.
• The exchange rate used is the European Central Bank rate, updated daily with 1 decimal point precision.
Prize information
Winning the jackpot:
• The jackpot can be triggered randomly on any qualifying game round (game round with the additional jackpot bet contribution).
• In a winning round, you'll see a jackpot wheel appear with different coloured areas representing each jackpot tier. The prize you win depends on where the wheel stops.
• When a jackpot prize is won during a game round, it is immediately secured, making sure it can't be claimed again by any other player at the same moment.
• Occasionally, the same jackpot tier might be won twice in quick succession, before the jackpot value displayed has updated. If this occurs, the first winner receives the displayed jackpot amount, and the second winner receives that jackpot tier's seed amount.
• The jackpot win payout matches the jackpot value stored on the casino server at the exact moment it's won. We take all reasonable steps to ensure the displayed jackpot value accurately matches the value stored on our servers.
Receiving winnings:
• Winnings are credited directly to the player account.
• Jackpot wins are subject to verification by FDJ UNITED and the Software Supplier. All decisions are final, and no correspondence will be entered into.
General terms
• If communication between FDJ UNITED and the jackpot server is disrupted, jackpot contributions and claims will be temporarily paused. The jackpot amount will remain unchanged until communication is restored. During such interruptions, an error message will clearly indicate that the jackpot service is unavailable.
• FDJ UNITED reserves the right to discontinue the Jackpot at any time. Player contributions that have already been made to a Jackpot will be actioned in the following process:
o Wait until the jackpot is next awarded before decommissioning it.
o Add any remaining contributions onto another jackpot system, preferably one with a similar player base.
o Return remaining contributions as a one-off event, with adequate customer disclosure to explain the origin of money.
• Any providers’ decommissioned jackpot slot game's jackpot contributions will be transferred to FDJ UNITED internal jackpot system.
• Jackpot wins from restricted territories will be considered void.
• Instances of player fraud, game malfunction, or server error will result in jackpot wins being voided, with the jackpot amount reinstated.

Hot Drops Jackpot – Enjoy a unique jackpot experience at Unibet
Hot Drops Jackpot is a progressive jackpot launched at Unibet Casino – a feature that genuinely changes the way players in the UK can experience casino jackpots online. In the past, jackpots have almost always been tied to a single game – whether fixed or progressive. With Hot Drops Jackpot, this changes. Instead, the jackpot is linked across a selection of different games in the casino lobby. This means you can choose from a wide range of slots while still being part of the same progressive jackpot system.

How our new Hot Drops Jackpot works in practice
Taking part in Hot Drops Jackpot at Unibet is both simple and straightforward. In the casino lobby and within each participating game, you’ll find a visible jackpot widget. With a single click you can opt in and automatically be part of the jackpot every time you play. If you’d like to stop, you can just as easily opt out using the same widget, giving you full control over your participation.
Once you’ve opted in, every spin in a Hot Drops Jackpot game also contributes to the jackpot. A small, fixed portion of your stake goes directly into the system and is shared between the different tiers. This happens automatically and on the same terms for every player, ensuring that the jackpots steadily grow round by round and that everyone contributes in a fair and transparent way.
Four possible tiers in the Hot Drops Jackpot system
The Hot Drops Jackpot system at Unibet is split into four separate tiers. This means the jackpot doesn’t consist of just one pot, but several parallel jackpots that all grow simultaneously and must be triggered before reaching their maximum limit.
- Mini Jackpot – the smallest tier, which pays out more frequently.
- Minor Jackpot – a mid-sized tier that builds up over longer sessions.
- Major Jackpot – a larger pot that reaches higher amounts.
- Grand Jackpot – the biggest tier in the system, guaranteed to drop before its maximum amount is reached.
Every spin in a Hot Drops Jackpot game contributes to all four tiers. The contribution is divided so that both the smaller and the larger jackpots grow in parallel. This creates a game
play experience where smaller wins are triggered more often, while the bigger pots build up over time – making the jackpot feel more dynamic and constantly alive in the background, no matter which slot you’re playing.
Must-hit – a jackpot that always drops in time
A key part of Hot Drops Jackpot is its must-hit structure. Each jackpot tier has a fixed upper limit, which means the jackpot must always be triggered before, or when that point is reached.
In traditional formats, progressive jackpots can keep growing indefinitely until someone wins. Here, there’s a balance – the jackpot can still trigger randomly at any moment, but it is also guaranteed to drop before or when it hits its cap. For Unibet players, this means the excitement is present in every spin, while also offering a clear structure. Many describe this as one of the strongest advantages of a jackpot across multiple games – it combines unpredictability with a sense of reassurance and understanding of how the system works.
Hot Drops Jackpot games in the Unibet casino lobby
What makes Hot Drops Jackpot truly special is that it isn’t limited to just one game. At Unibet, you’ll find a selection of slots – the so-called Hot Drops Jackpot games – all connected to the same system.
When you open one of these games, you’ll see the jackpot widget displayed at the bottom of the screen. Here, you can easily opt in, track the jackpots in real time, and see your contributions. If the widget doesn’t appear, the game isn’t part of the jackpot.
This makes the jackpot feel like a natural part of the entire Unibet Casino experience. You can switch between different slots, explore new titles, and still remain part of the same progressive system. In this way, Hot Drops Jackpot becomes a jackpot for multiple slots, offering both variety and continuity in equal measure.
Transparency and security at Unibet UK
At Unibet UK, player experience is always a priority, and Hot Drops Jackpot has been designed to be clear, fair, and straightforward. Contributions are fixed and visible, and the jackpot tiers are updated in real time via the widget.
For players, this means you always know when you’re participating and under what conditions. This transparency builds trust and makes Hot Drops Jackpot stand out as a feature that is not only exciting but also user-friendly. It’s a jackpot across multiple games that brings both entertainment and control.
How to find Hot Drops Jackpot games in the casino
In the Unibet casino lobby, it’s easy to spot which games are included in Hot Drops Jackpot. Every participating game is clearly marked with the jackpot widget at the bottom of the screen, where you can also follow how the different tiers progress in real time.
- If the widget is visible → the game is part of Hot Drops Jackpot.
- If the widget isn’t visible → the game does not qualify.
This means you can quickly and easily navigate between our slots and always know when you’re in the jackpot.
A jackpot across multiple games – the next step for online casino jackpots
With Hot Drops Jackpot, Unibet introduces a brand-new standard for how jackpots can be experienced online. Instead of being tied to a single game, this is a feature integrated across several different slots, giving players a broader and more flexible way to enjoy progressive jackpots.
For UK players, this means a new kind of jackpot experience – a jackpot across multiple games where transparency, variety, and excitement are always part of the play. The must-hit system and the four tiers make the jackpot feel both modern and accessible, while still keeping the element of unpredictability that players love.
At Unibet Casino, you’ll find Hot Drops Jackpot as an integrated part of our game selection. These games can appear in several categories – from the main casino lobby, to our dedicated online slots lobby, and within the casino jackpot games lobby featuring more progressive options. Wherever you encounter them, the feature works the same way: you can switch between games, and the jackpot will follow. This makes Hot Drops Jackpot a natural and living part of the Unibet experience.
