PlaySopo Review: 4-Game Social Poker App From Odysseus Software Company
PlaySopo (playsopo.com) is a sweepstakes-style social poker app operated by Odysseus Software Company, LLC, launched in 2022. We registered and tested the platform in February 2026. The currency structure uses Gold (play money) and XP (the redeemable currency), not the standard Gold Coin / Sweeps Coin naming the field uses. XP functions like Sweeps Coins but earns differently, which matters more than the naming.
Four poker games: Texas Hold'Em, Omaha, Omaha 5, and Jackpot SNG. That is the full catalog. This is a pure poker platform, not a casino.
PlaySopo Bonuses and Free Player Path
The signup bonus is 1,000 Gold + 50 XP, no purchase required. Daily login credits 750 Gold + 150 XP. The first purchase delivers 1,000 Gold for $0.99.
The free-player math on reaching minimum redemption: 5,000 XP minimum. Daily login alone credits 150 XP per day. That's 33+ days of daily logins just from the daily bonus if you lose nothing. The complication: XP is earned primarily through daily missions and referrals, not through gameplay results. A player can sit at the poker table for hours and accumulate Gold without adding XP if they're not hitting missions. That's a structural difference from platforms like Global Poker, where SC earn rates are more directly tied to play volume.
No VIP program is documented. No referral bonus details are published. The $0.99 first purchase for 1,000 Gold doesn't include XP, so buyers adding funds don't accelerate their redemption path through purchases.
For free players specifically interested in poker: unlimited Gold is available through watching video ads at 250 Gold per ad. That keeps casual players in action without spending. The XP accumulation path for redemption is a separate track.
Games and Providers
PlaySopo runs 4 poker games, all developed in-house by Odysseus Software Company, LLC. The lineup: Texas Hold'Em, Omaha, Omaha 5, and Jackpot SNG.
There are no slots, no bingo, no live dealer tables, no table games beyond poker variants. If you're looking for format variety, this isn't it. Global Poker runs 20+ poker tables with varying stakes. LuckyLand Slots and Chumba run hundreds of slot titles. PlaySopo is positioned as a poker-only app, not a broad casino product.
Game certification is confirmed: GLI (Gaming Laboratories International) and CFG have certified the platform for fairness. That's a meaningful positive for a small independent operator, third-party RNG certification on a 4-game catalog is a trust signal worth noting.
No RTP data is published for the poker variant configurations. No jackpot pool sizes are listed.
Platform Features
Mobile app: confirmed on both iOS and Android. Google Play rating: 4.8 stars from 1,000+ reviews, that's the strongest app store signal in the data for this platform. App Store rating: 3.9 stars from 100+ reviews. The gap between Android and iOS satisfaction is notable; community reporting suggests some iOS-specific friction.
Payment processing uses Dwolla and Plaid integration. Dwolla handles ACH bank transfers and is a regulated money transmitter. Plaid is the bank account linking layer. This is a legitimate payment stack for a US-regulated sweepstakes operation. No credit card processing is confirmed.
No desktop browser play is confirmed. The platform appears to be mobile-first or mobile-only.
The video ad system for free Gold is a distinguishing feature. Watching ads at 250 Gold each gives unlimited free play without purchase, a model that works for casual poker players who want to grind without spending.
Banking and Redemptions
Redemption minimum: 5,000 XP. Payout time estimate: not fully documented in available data.
The 5,000 XP minimum is high relative to what you earn. At 150 XP per daily login and additional XP via missions and referrals, reaching the floor requires consistent engagement over weeks. PlaySopo doesn't publish a complete XP-earning breakdown, which makes the timeline hard to model precisely.
Deposit and withdrawal processing goes through Dwolla (ACH) and Plaid. KYC verification will be required before first redemption, standard for sweepstakes platforms. Document requirements are not published in available data.
PlaySopo is prohibited in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, and West Virginia, the standard sweepstakes exclusion set plus some. Players in these states cannot access the platform at all.
No maximum daily withdrawal limit is published. No fees are documented.
Customer Support
Email only. No live chat. No phone number. No FAQ page documented.
For a platform where XP accumulation toward redemption takes weeks and payout timelines aren't published, the absence of live chat is a friction point. Players with redemption questions have one channel to use and no published SLA for response time.
Comparison: Global Poker publishes support hours and has a documented response process. PlaySopo's support infrastructure is minimal at this stage.
Trust and Legitimacy
PlaySopo is operated by Odysseus Software Company, LLC, a disclosed corporate entity operating since 2022. The operator disclosure is a positive signal, many small poker app operators don't name the company publicly.
GLI and CFG certification of the game software is a meaningful trust marker. GLI is one of the most recognized independent gaming labs in the industry. CFG certifies fairness standards. For a 4-game catalog running on proprietary software, these certifications provide the verification layer that third-party providers deliver on larger platforms.
BBB profile: not confirmed in available data as of February 2026. Trustpilot data: not identified. The Google Play rating of 4.8 stars across 1,000+ reviews is the strongest third-party trust signal in the current data set, that's genuine user volume for an app of this size.
No regulatory actions or C&D letters on record. No sister sites documented.
State Availability
PlaySopo is prohibited in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, and West Virginia. These are the standard states where sweepstakes platforms face legal or operator restrictions.
Age requirement: 18+. Washington state and other jurisdictions with specific sweepstakes law restrictions are not separately noted, check current Terms and Conditions at playsopo.com before registering.
All other states appear open as of February 2026. Verify via the platform's current T&Cs before signup.
Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling tools are not documented in available data for PlaySopo as of February 2026. No self-exclusion options, purchase limits, or cooling-off periods are confirmed.
The video ad model for free Gold creates a different risk profile than a credit card purchase system, but the absence of documented RG tools is still a gap compared to platforms like Stake US or Pulsz Bingo that explicitly list their tool sets.
If gambling is causing problems, call the National Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-522-4700 or visit ncpgambling.org.
Is PlaySopo Worth It?
For casual poker players who want a certified, mobile-first free-play experience with unlimited Gold via video ads, PlaySopo delivers a functional product. The 4.8 Google Play rating reflects real user satisfaction at this use case.
For anyone who wants SC-style direct redemption through gameplay, the XP-via-missions model creates friction. You can play poker for hours without moving your XP balance if you're not hitting daily missions. Global Poker has a cleaner play-to-earn path for players who want to track their redemption runway.
The 4-game catalog is the ceiling. This is not a platform for players who want slots, live dealer, bingo, or variety. The comparison is with Global Poker or Clubs Poker, not with LuckyLand Slots or Pulsz.
Players in MI, NJ, PA, CT, DE, or WV are blocked entirely.
Sweepstakes play carries risk. Set time and spend limits before starting. SWEEPSTAKES PLAY DOES NOT GUARANTEE WINNINGS.
