A BetVictor player from Scotland has turned a small 10p jackpot side bet into an incredible £1,744,000 payout.
The lucky customer hit the top-tier Epic jackpot while playing the slot Magnificent Power Spartan, transforming a minimal wager into a life-changing prize.
The win was made possible through The Jackpots, an exclusive in-house jackpot product powered by ThrillTech, a global provider of side-bet jackpot technology for iGaming operators.
ThrillTech’s ThrillPots system was rolled out across the portfolio of gaming brands operated by BVGroup in December last year. The feature allows any qualifying spin to randomly trigger one of four progressive jackpots. In this case, a simple 10p side bet was enough to unlock the seven-figure Epic jackpot.
The Scottish BetVictor customer, who has chosen to remain anonymous, triggered the highest prize tier available—demonstrating that every spin carries the potential for a massive reward. The win has since been fully verified, and the payout is being processed in line with the operator’s standard verification and payment procedures.
Eoin Ryan, Director of Sportsbook & eGaming at BVGroup, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to congratulate our first newly created millionaire.
This life-changing win perfectly showcases how The Jackpots system works, where any qualifying spin can trigger any of the available jackpots, including the Epic pot. We’re excited to deliver many more unforgettable moments for our customers throughout the year.”
Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, added:
“Seeing a 10p side bet turn into a £1.7 million win is exactly the kind of moment we designed ThrillPots to create. From the very beginning, our vision was to provide operators with a jackpot solution that genuinely excites players, where every qualifying spin carries real potential regardless of stake size. This win is a powerful example of that principle in action.
Working with BVGroup to launch The Jackpots across the BetVictor portfolio has been a fantastic collaboration. Their team understands how to integrate jackpot mechanics in a way that enhances the overall player experience while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and player protection.
We’re incredibly proud to see our technology deliver such a life-changing outcome and look forward to powering many more memorable jackpot moments for operators and players worldwide.”
