Jackpot Joy

You can play for fun and for real money but you have to sign up in any case. We find the layout less sleek and professional than that of many other sites, although the live chat functions with other players are a bonus. Deposit bonuses are decent (£100), and Jackpot Joy is introducing a Blue Carpet Club to reward player loyalty, but current promotions don't stand out compared to other casinos. Similarly, their customer support appears relatively basic (good FAQ section and telephone support).

However, the site appears to be popular: it's been voted the No 1 website by HItwise for 2006 as well as the No 1 fastest growing technology company for 2006 by the Sunday Times.
