World Cup Kicks Off: Mexico v South Africa Super Boost is LIVE on bet365
The 2026 World Cup is finally here, and bet365 have wasted no time getting the party started. As Mexico host South Africa in the tournament opener at the Estadio Azteca, there’s a juicy UK Super Boost up for grabs — plus some huge news on the Jackpot365 front that every bettor needs to know about.
Mexico Over 0.5 Team Total Goals
With Mexico opening the tournament on home soil at the Estadio Azteca, the hosts will be desperate to get off to a flyer in front of their own fans. A boost on Mexico scoring at least once is a notable price improvement to kick the World Cup off.

Industry First: Jackpot365 Lands on Sports Just in Time for the World Cup
In a major boost for World Cup punters, bet365 has confirmed the launch of Jackpot365 on its sports betting platform — an industry-first feature that brings progressive jackpots directly into the sports betslip.
Having already proven a huge hit with casino customers since its December 2025 launch, Jackpot365 now lets sports bettors opt in to a small additional stake on any qualifying bet for a shot at one of four progressive jackpots. It’s completely optional, doesn’t affect your actual bet, and can be switched on or off whenever you like.
How Jackpot365 Works
- Build your bet — add any sports selection to your betslip as normal.
- Opt in — tick the Jackpot365 box and your stake increases slightly to cover the entry fee.
- Place your bet — every entry gives you a chance at one of four cash jackpots, with hundreds won daily.
Since its December 2025 launch, bet365 reports that almost £50 million has been paid out in Jackpot365 prizes across more than 112,000 wins. As with any jackpot game, individual results vary and a win is not guaranteed — but it gives a sense of the scale bet365 is operating at as the feature expands to sports.
Jackpot365 on sports is currently live in the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, Ontario, and selected bet365.com territories, with Michigan and Brazil set to follow shortly.
The Bottom Line for World Cup Punters
With a daily Super Boost promised throughout the tournament under bet365’s “More Offers Than Ever” banner, plus the new Jackpot365 sports feature now live, there’s never been a better time to get involved. Mexico v South Africa kicks the whole thing off — and that 1/1 boost on Mexico to score is the perfect way to mark the occasion.
