Meta-Jackpot

The Meta-Jackpot is the Whitelabels.com jackpot system. Pools are network-wide, funded by the platform, and Lumio recommends which jackpot types to run.

The Meta-Jackpot is the jackpot system on Whitelabels.com. It runs several jackpot types at once, feeds them from a share of every bet, and displays the current value across the lobby and the game interfaces. The pools are shared across the casino network, and the platform funds them.

What is the Meta-Jackpot?

The Meta-Jackpot is the platform's jackpot system, and it supports multiple jackpot types running at the same time:

  • progressive
  • mystery
  • tiered
  • community
  • daily drop
  • guaranteed-pay-before-a-date

Its distinctive capability is the Free Spins Jackpot: a jackpot whose prize pool is free spins rather than cash.

Jackpot pools are genuinely network-wide. A pool is shared across casinos on the platform network, fed by and winnable at every participating casino. Which casinos take part in a given pool is a packaging matter, set by the commercial tier.

What does the player see?

A large, growing jackpot value, displayed prominently across the lobby and the game interfaces while they play. As the player wagers, a portion of every bet contributes automatically to one or more jackpot pools. The player does not opt in.

When a player hits a jackpot, the win is delivered instantly. Very large Free Spins Jackpot wins are automatically split into convenient packages, so the player can enjoy them at their own pace.

Why does this matter for your casino?

The possibility of a very large win keeps players engaged even through losing streaks. Because every bet visibly feeds the pool, each wager counts toward something bigger than itself.

The Free Spins Jackpot gives your casino a distinctive offering, and it pairs naturally with slot promotions across your casino games.

Who funds the jackpot pool?

The platform does, not you. The jackpot pool is funded by the platform, not by your budget.

Pool sharing is scoped to the commercial tier. A jackpot belonging to a given tier is fed by, and winnable at, only the casinos that have that tier activated. A casino on one tier neither feeds nor wins a jackpot belonging to another tier.

What do you get on Plus, Pro and Ultra?

Each tier unlocks a slice of the full Meta-Jackpot capability.

TierWhat you getCapability unlocked
PlusOne global jackpot with a single reward tier and a large headline prize value.The always-visible headline jackpot.
ProThe same jackpot unlocked across all 4 reward tiers. Players win smaller amounts far more frequently, which broadens appeal across the player base.Multi-tier winning on the same pool.
UltraAdds a second jackpot that pays out in free spins instead of cash.The Free Spins Jackpot.

How does Lumio run it?

Lumio recommends which jackpot types to run and how to structure their contribution and trigger mechanics.

Lumio also flags opportunities and presents you with promotion options. Two examples: a time-based jackpot to drive a spike before a guaranteed pay-out deadline, or a Free Spins Jackpot alongside a slots campaign.

Whether a jackpot is the right thing to run at a given moment is a decision Lumio makes, not a fixed answer that lives in this page.

How does the Meta-Jackpot work with your other tools?

A Meta-Jackpot can run alongside a slots campaign or another engagement feature to give it a headline number.

A jackpot entry can also appear as a reward inside other features, such as a jackpot ticket on a Calendar day. These are examples, not a complete list.

What is the Meta-Jackpot not?

The Meta-Jackpot manages jackpots. It is not a per-player reward decision system (see TurboWins).

  • Jackpot pools are network-wide: a pool is fed by, and winnable at, every casino that participates in it, and the platform funds the pool rather than your budget.
  • The Free Spins Jackpot pays its prize pool in free spins instead of cash, and very large wins are split automatically into packages the player can use at their own pace.
  • Pool sharing is scoped to the commercial tier: a casino neither feeds nor wins a jackpot that belongs to a tier it does not have activated.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Who pays for the jackpot pool?

The platform funds the jackpot pool, not your budget. On the player side, a portion of every bet contributes automatically to one or more pools, and the player does not opt in. Pools are network-wide, which means the same pool is fed by, and winnable at, every casino that participates in it.

What is a Free Spins Jackpot?

A Free Spins Jackpot is a jackpot whose prize pool is free spins rather than cash. Very large Free Spins Jackpot wins are automatically split into convenient packages, so the player can enjoy them at their own pace. It is unlocked on Ultra, which adds it as a second jackpot alongside the cash jackpot.

Do players have to opt in to the Meta-Jackpot?

No. As a player wagers, a portion of every bet contributes automatically to one or more jackpot pools. Current jackpot values are displayed prominently across the lobby and the game interfaces, so every player sees a large, growing number while they play.

Which jackpot types should I run?

That is a decision Lumio makes rather than a fixed answer. Lumio recommends which jackpot types to run and how to structure their contribution and trigger mechanics. It flags opportunities and presents you with promotion options: a time-based jackpot to drive a spike before a guaranteed pay-out deadline, for example, or a Free Spins Jackpot alongside a slots campaign.

What is the difference between Plus, Pro and Ultra?

Plus gives you one global jackpot with a single reward tier and a large headline prize value, always visible to players. Pro unlocks the same jackpot across all 4 reward tiers, so players win smaller amounts far more frequently, which broadens the appeal across your player base. Ultra adds a second jackpot that pays out in free spins instead of cash.
