Players at Betfred Bingo have a weekly shot at landing a £20k cash prize thoughout September, and a whopping £50k on the last Friday of the month. This generous guaranteed jackpot is in addition to the regular bingo prizes, and there are no wagering requirements in sight!

Coinciding with the September Escalators, Betfred is offering bingo tickets for bargain prices, starting at just 1p. Also, half of the jackpot is shared between everyone in the winning game, so players stand a decent chance of walking away with something.

How Jackpot Escalators work

There’s one guaranteed jackpot to be won each Friday between 18:00 and 23:59 UK time. The eligible bingo room will change each week, so make sure you’re in the right place at the right time. In each game, players can win the usual prizes (1 line, 2 lines, full house), as well as the guaranteed jackpot.

The guaranteed jackpot is triggered by winning the full house prize within a certain number of ball calls. This number will depend on which game you’re playing within the 18:00 to 23:59 time window. 

The Escalator mechanic raises the corresponding ball call by one every 30 minutes, until a player wins a full house and unlocks the jackpot. In the final bingo game of the night, starting at 23:50, the ball call is 90 or 75, depending on that week’s bingo room. This means the jackpot is guaranteed to be won.

As a ‘community jackpot’, 50% of the prize is shared by all players who bought tickets to the specific bingo game in which the jackpot is won. 

How to claim

One of the best things about the September Escalators promo is how easy it is to claim. There’s no opting in and no real eligibility criteria. In fact, players don’t need to do anything more than play the right games!

Simply log into your account, check out the T&Cs, then ensure you’ve got the bankroll to buy your tickets. Head to the right bingo room at the right time (see below for more on this), buy your tickets, and enjoy the bingo as you normally would.

Whether new or existing, all players can take part, provided that they’re the holder of a verified Betfred Bingo account.

All winnings are credited instantly and automatically, and players are free to withdraw them as soon as they like.

As a Virtue Fusion network jackpot, other bingo sites may be hosting the same promo. Players may therefore be competing against those on other sites for the jackpots.
