A BetVictor customer in Scotland has won £1.74m after triggering a progressive jackpot while playing on the operator’s igaming platform. The prize was awarded through The Jackpots system, a jackpot product developed by ThrillTech and deployed across brands operated by BVGroup.
The player secured the win while playing the slot title Magnificent Power Spartan, placing a 10p side bet that activated the top-tier Epic jackpot. The total payout reached £1,744,000, representing the largest prize available within the jackpot system.
The jackpot network is powered by ThrillTech’s ThrillPots technology, a side-bet jackpot solution designed for integration within igaming platforms. The system allows players placing qualifying side bets to become eligible for a series of progressive jackpots that can be triggered during gameplay.
ThrillPots was introduced across the portfolio of gaming brands operated by BVGroup in December, expanding the range of jackpot mechanics available within the group’s igaming environment. Under the system’s structure, players can qualify for four progressive jackpot tiers, with any eligible spin having the potential to trigger one of the prizes.
According to the companies involved, the Scottish BetVictor player triggered the Epic jackpot tier, which represents the highest-value prize within the system. The player has chosen to remain anonymous.
The win has been verified by the operator and processed in accordance with standard igaming verification and payment procedures. Progressive jackpot systems such as ThrillPots are commonly used by igaming operators to link prizes across multiple games or platforms, allowing jackpots to accumulate as players participate in qualifying gameplay.
Eoin Ryan, Director of Sportsbook & eGaming at BVGroup, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to congratulate our first newly created millionaire.
“This life-changing win perfectly demonstrates how The Jackpots are designed to work, where any spin can trigger any jackpot, including the Epic pot! We’re excited to deliver many more unforgettable moments for our customers over the remainder of the year.”
Ben Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Seeing a 10p side bet turn into a £1.7 million win is exactly the kind of moment we built ThrillPots to create. Our vision from day one was to give operators a jackpot solution that genuinely excites players – where every qualifying spin carries real potential, regardless of stake size. This win is a powerful demonstration 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 we look forward to continuing to power unforgettable jackpot moments for operators and players around the world.”
