Many players wonder: how exactly does a progressive jackpot work? At BonusBear, every time a player spins a jackpot game, a small portion of their bet — typically between 1% and 3% — is contributed to the jackpot pool. The pool keeps growing until a player successfully triggers the jackpot win condition.
Standalone vs. Linked Jackpots: What's the Difference?
BonusBear offers two types of progressive jackpots. Standalone Jackpot pooled exclusively from players of that specific game, making the prize smaller but the odds of winning higher. Linked / Network Jackpot is pooled from thousands of players across all platforms running the same provider software — which is why the BonusBear Mega Jackpot can climb into the millions of MYR.
RTP & Jackpot Rates
It's worth noting that a portion of a jackpot game's RTP is allocated toward the jackpot prize pool. This means the "base" RTP is slightly lower than that of non-jackpot slots — but that tradeoff comes with the potential for life-changing wins far beyond what any regular game can offer. At BonusBear, we make all RTP information and jackpot contribution rates fully transparent for every game.
Top Strategies for Winning Jackpots at BonusBear
First, don't put your entire bankroll into a single jackpot game. Spread your budget across several jackpot games to broaden your chances. Second, keep an eye on the jackpot meter — when the value climbs well above a game's historical average payout, the statistical likelihood of it hitting increases. Third, make the most of the bonuses and free spins offered by BonusBear to play longer without spending your own money — free spins can trigger the jackpot too!
Jackpot Winnings Withdrawal
When you win a jackpot at BonusBear, our team will reach out via your registered email and SMS to verify your identity. This process is typically completed within 24 hours for minor and mini jackpots, while major and mega jackpots may take 1–3 business days. Winnings can be withdrawn via Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay, DuitNow, or directly to your bank account via FPX (Maybank2u, CIMB Clicks, and more).
