Rules & restrictions

There are a whole list of rules and restrictions on the Jackpot Arena. But to make it short, you must be over 18 years old and must NOT cheat and play fairly. The past few matches (June and July), Bigpoint has not given out any rewards because "both finalists had to be disqualified". So they have temporarily disabled the Jackpot Arena because of this in an effort to stop cheaters. We hope that it can return soon, but in the meantime, feel free to check out all the information about it and be prepared!

Jackpot Euros

Jackpot Euros

If you win a Jackpot Arena match, you’ll receive the amount of Jackpot Euros you collected in real money and the amount of Euros in your Jackpot will be reset to 0. If you lose, your Jackpot total will remain the same and you’ll be able to collect more virtual currency until the next Jackpot Arena match.

You can earn Jackpot Euros by simply collecting boxes, completing quests that give it as a reward, or by entering events such as Spaceball.
