42 million US dollars: Highest online casino jackpot ever won

At the end of December last year, probably the biggest jackpot of all time was won in an online casino. The lucky player is said to have won around $42 million on a $50 cryptocurrency wager. But on which slot machine and in which online casino did luck strike?

A player secured a sensational jackpot win of over 42 million US dollars at the Sportsbet.io online casino. The online gambling provider, which does not have a valid licence in Germany and cannot be reached from Germany, recently announced the multi-million euro win in a press release. Sportsbet.io is a crypto casino, as deposits and withdrawals can only be processed with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum or Dogecoin.

Highest jackpot ever hit at an online casino

According to Sportsbet.io, the casino player who hit the jackpot on 20 December last year wishes to remain anonymous. However, it is known that the player played the Wheel of Wishes slot machine with the cryptocurrency USDT.

During his "lucky spin", the player is said to have placed a bet of US$50. The massive prize of US$42.1 million was the progressive jackpot "WowPot!™" that can be won on this slot machine.

In the past, we at GambleJoe have reported on several multi-million dollar online casino wins. These were often won on the same slot machines such as Mega Fortune or Mega Moolah. In May 2021, for example, a Mega Moolah jackpot of almost €20 million was won.

What does the player say about his 42 million win?

The millionaire winner is reported to have told online casino Sportsbet.io the following:

"At first I thought it was a mistake. But when I realised I had won more than 40 million US dollars, I ran around the room screaming and cheering. I'm taking things slowly and not making any big decisions yet. I just know that my family will never have to worry about money again (...)".

The casino player will not only receive the 42 million. According to the online casino, he will also be flown to London to enjoy a Newcastle United Football Club match in the VIP box. Sportsbet.io is an official partner of the club and also the main sponsor of English football team FC Southampton.

Conclusion

A player who wishes to remain anonymous wins the largest online casino jackpot of all time at a well-known crypto casino. Whether or not the $42 million will actually be paid out, and in what currency, will probably never be made public.
