Not many sweepstakes sites offer social poker services, much less dedicate their operations to it. I had to do a PlaySoPo review to see how the social gaming site pulls it off.
After claiming my 1,000 Gold welcome bonus, I had no hassles exploring social poker games or creating poker tournaments. In this review, I’ll share my experience on the desktop and native app versions. I'll also highlight the available promotions and answer burning questions you might have about PlaySoPo.
To claim the PlaySoPo login bonus, you must sign up for the site. Sweepstakes gameplay is only available on the app, so I opted to sign up via the app. Thankfully, signing up is easy. Here are the steps I took:
You’ll be given 1,000 Gold as a welcome bonus, 750 Gold (daily login bonus), and 50XP (a daily reward) to explore the site’s poker games when you sign up via the PlaySoPo app. The welcome bonus isn’t the only way to get free coins on the site; I found other ways to get free coins, such as daily missions, daily bonuses, weekly bonuses, and referral bonuses. You can check out my PlaySoPo bonus review to learn more about the site’s bonus offers and the PlaySoPo redemption time.
When I first landed on PlaySoPo, the site’s aesthetics impressed me. The landing page blends a blue background, white and gold fonts, and several colorful banners to create a great first impression.
The site is just as functional as it is easy on the eyes. I tried it on my laptop and my Android device, and I enjoyed seamless navigation on both devices – thanks to a great layout and well-placed tabs and links. However, some functionality is restricted to desktop users and unavailable on mobile due to app restrictions.
If you access the site via your laptop, you’ll find several tabs on the top left of your screen that’ll take you to different parts of the site with one click. On the top right of your laptop screen, you’ll find the PlaySoPo app tabs that take you directly to either the Google Play Store or the Apple Store. Both tabs are next to a CFG (Certified Fair Gaming) badge that’s conspicuously placed so you don’t have to ask, “Is PlaySoPo legit?”.
I didn’t do much gaming on my laptop since I’m more of a mobile gamer. Keep reading to find out my experience while using the PlaySoPo native app.
I had a better experience using the PlaySoPo app for Android devices. In hindsight, I now understand why this app has so many great PlaySoPo user reviews. For starters, downloading and installing the app from the Google Play Store was easy and only took a few minutes. Signing up via the app was also smooth, and I hopped on it within 5 minutes of downloading it.
I’d rate the app’s aesthetics higher than the desktop version, as the color scheme looks a lot better on the app. Finding my way around the app was easy, as several tabs at the bottom of the screen quickly took me to different parts of the site. There’s also a CFG badge in the top right corner, and to the left displays a player’s account balance.
Smack in the middle of the screen is a “Play” button that takes you to the site’s game selection. Right under the game selection is a display of non-mandatory Gold purchase offers. There are also several links to trending news, videos, and staking to stay abreast of the latest going-ons in social poker gaming while on the app.
The app’s ease of use is top-notch, and it offers a great mobile gaming experience. You can create poker tables and clubs, chat with fellow gamers, and seamlessly make in-app coin purchases (which are non-mandatory) while on the app.
If you were wondering, “Can you win real money on PlaySoPo?” the answer to your query is no since PlaySoPo is a sweepstakes site. Although you can’t get real money rewards, the site supports XP redemption for real prizes. That said, I think PlaySoPo could do better with the number of payment methods it supports. While exploring a Gold purchase option (initial Gold purchases aren’t needed on the site), I was required to add a payment method to my Google account to complete my purchase. I only found PayPal and card (credit and debit) options.
To be fair to the site, once I enabled payments via my PayPal account, the transaction was fast, and I got my Gold instantly (again, I didn’t need the purchases; I just wanted to test the payment methods). However, playing at PlaySoPo would be more convenient and fun if more payment methods existed. That said, the payment methods at PlaySoPo are reliable, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
I think PlaySoPo’s customer support can be improved. Most gaming sites provide multiple customer support options to assist players. PlaySoPo could do better in this regard. When I did this PlaySoPo review, there was no live chat or phone support. However, I could contact the site’s support team via email.
While reviewing PlaySoPo, I contacted the support team via mail (click the “CONTACT US” tab and send your mail from the site) to get some information. To their credit, getting a response from the support team didn't take long. Better still, the answers to my queries (one of such queries was “how long does PlaySoPo take to payout?”) were detailed and courteous. The depth of the answers showed that the agent who replied to my mail was knowledgeable about the site, and that’s a plus in my books.
However, I think PlaySoPo would be much better if it incorporated more user support options. Gamers only contact support when they need prompt answers; email might not cut it for them.
As a sweepstakes site, PlaySoPo doesn’t need the licensing required by real-money sites. That said, the site is owned and operated by Odysseus Software Company, LLC, which complies with sweepstakes rules and regulations in the United States and ensures full compliance with relevant laws governing sweepstakes and promotions.
When it comes to safety, PlaySoPo is secure. It uses advanced SSL encryption technology to safeguard users' data, and a third party independently tests its games. PlaySoPo also partners with DWOLLA and PLAID payment service providers to ensure players can connect to their financial accounts securely and seamlessly while gaming.
There’s currently no loyalty program available at the PlaySoPo sweepstakes site. However, you can access several rewards to claim free XP. Here’s what I found there under the site’s Rewards tab:
Complete daily missions and claim your XP. My first daily mission was to tap a link, and I was rewarded with 50XP. Other tasks included inviting friends or playing a jackpot game. Both tasks had a 50 XP offer attached to them.
I received a daily log-in bonus of 750 Gold and 50 XP. The collected XP and Gold will boost your virtual credit stash and extend the free gameplay on the site.
Grab 7 Daily Bonuses in a row and get a Weekly Bonus. Thanks to this offer, you can kickstart your poker experience each week on the right foot.
You can get up to 10,000 XP for each friend you invite to register at PlaySoPo via your unique link. The site awards you 10XP for every 10XP your friends get for the first 1,000 XP.
PlaySoPo strictly offers social poker gaming services. There are no slots available on the site.
PlaySoPo is a social poker site that offers only poker games to its users. Some poker titles available on the site include Texas Hold’Em, Omaha, Omaha 5, and Jackpot SNG.
No, it’s not. PlaySoPo is owned and operated by Odysseus Software Company, LLC, which complies with sweepstakes rules and regulations in the United States and ensures full compliance with relevant laws governing sweepstakes and promotions.

While at PlaySoPo, I found the following in-house poker titles: Texas Hold’Em, Omaha, Omaha 5, and Jackpot SNG. Once you decide on the game to explore, click the game’s tile, and you’ll be taken to a virtual room to play with other users. There’s even a table chat feature that lets you interact with other players at the table. However, sweepstakes gameplay is only available on mobile devices, and desktop users can’t access it.
Another thing I like about playing at PlaySoPo is the “SOPO Quickplay,” which lets you create a table and play with other users or guests! You could even customize the table’s settings and pick a game type from any of the following options: “RING,” “SNG,” or “MTT.” There are multiple game modes, and you don’t have to create a table.
However, due to app store restrictions, the SOPO Quickplay feature is exclusive to desktop users. On the flip side, desktop and app users can join or create SOPO Poker Clubs and run tournaments with other users for free.

Things work a bit differently at PlaySoPo than you’re probably used to. Like all sweepstakes sites, you can’t play at PlaySoPo with real money; you use virtual credit and can play at PlaySoPo in two modes – Freeplay and Sweepstakes.
With the Freeplay mode, you can play and claim Gold without making an initial purchase to explore poker titles in NLH or Jackpot. You’ll get Gold as part of your welcome bonus or by making non-mandatory Gold purchases. Like most sweepstakes sites, you can’t redeem your Gold for real prizes.
Playing in the sweepstakes mode is more interesting because players can only explore sweepstakes poker on mobile. Here’s where things get interesting – you can only participate in sweepstakes gameplay on the PlaySoPo app. I also found that the sweepstakes virtual credit is called XP on the app and Sweepsbucks on the desktop version. You can claim XP by inviting friends, completing daily missions, claiming a streak of daily login bonuses, and playing on the site. You’ll then be able to claim a real prize for every 5000 XP you have.

I’d recommend PlaySoPo to my gaming buddies. Not many folks get to explore social poker, and being able to play it on mobile is a blast. I like the site’s looks and intuitive interface, which make it easy to play there. It’s also fun to be able to create tables or clubs and get to play with buddies whenever you want. Although you can’t get real money at PlaySoPo, you can still redeem your XP for real prizes.
However, I'd like the site to have more customer support channels and payment methods. Regardless, PlaySoPo is a fun site to be at, and I suggest that you check it out if you’re looking to enjoy a premium social poker experience. You don’t need to read any more PlaySoPo reviews to convince you. Just get on the site and see things for yourself.
