Mobile casinos give players all over the world 24/7 access to their favourite games. This has led to some pretty impressive jackpot payouts, including a few big payouts to winners who logged on from the UK.

Their stories prove that becoming a jackpot winner at a mobile casino often requires just a bit of luck, paired with a carefully developed strategy (of course).

Discover the Truth: Do Online Casinos Actually Pay Out?

The house always wins! However, with the biggest online casinos in the UK giving players access to hundreds of slots, card games, lotto games straight from their mobile devices, a few winners have been able to do the seemingly impossible and take home multi-million-pound jackpots.

Reputable and reliable online casinos have paid out millions to jackpot winners all over the world. We have rounded up the strategies that landed three players their wins at some of the largest casinos in the UK. More importantly for you, we’ve asked for a few of their tips on what to do if you become the lucky jackpot winner.

1. Joe and Jess Thwaite’s win of £184 million on the National Lottery app

Online casinos offer a variety of ways for players to test their luck. Joe and Jess Thwaite, two long-time lotto players from Gloucestershire, woke up to the news that they were £184 million richer on a Tuesday morning in 2022. Joe, who entered the EuroMillions draw via the National Lottery app, could not believe his eyes when he first opened the email telling him that he was the lotto jackpot winner.

As for the couple’s winning strategy, they tend to withhold from playing unless there is a big jackpot involved. Joe spoke to the Independent after the win, stating, “While I don’t play every week, I do a Lucky Dip when there is a big jackpot.” Joe and Jess celebrated the news of their win with a meal and new bedroom furniture. The couple also revealed plans to spend their winnings on various types of adventures and trips with their family and friends.

2. An Anonymous Player Wins Almost £3 Million At an Online Casino

Mega Moolah, developed by Microgaming, is one of those famous gambling games. The game has even built up a reputation as the so-called “millionaire maker” in some circles. This slot game’s popular bonus wheel mechanic has awarded millions of pounds to slot jackpot winners over the last couple of years (this includes Jon Heywood’s Guinness World Record winning jackpot payout from 2015).

The secret behind these record-breaking payouts is simple – Mega Moolah has a progressive jackpot that keeps growing until it is won. This means that certain lucky players, such as an anonymous player from the UK who took home £2.7 million via an online Mega Moolah game in 2019, stands a chance to win a jackpot even when they start out with a smaller stake.

3.  Michael Clark wins £5.4 million from his phone

If you have ever found yourself turning to your phone when you are bored at home, you have already started implementing the first steps in Michael Clark’s ‘don’t overthink it’ £5.4 million jackpot winning strategy.

Michael, a mental health professional from Newcastle, wagered only £1.40 in the King Kong slot game before his big jackpot win in 2023. His list of things to do after the win included a new stairlift for his grandmother, a new suit worth £1,000, a wedding, a honeymoon, and even a night’s hotel stay for a rough sleeper from Michael’s home town.

The Key to Developing a Winning Strategy

If anything, the stories and strategies shared by these fairly recent jackpot winners from the UK, show that you do not necessarily need to play big, to win big.

While high stakes and unpredictability are all part of the fun for mobile casino games, focusing on bigger jackpots and progressive jackpots do seem to have helped these casual players secure their generous online casino rewards.
