PlayOJO slots app

PlayOJO slots app at a glance

PlayOJO is a casino-only brand, so there's one app rather than a casino app and a sports app. The App Store describes slots, jackpot slots, bingo, table games and live casino in the same place, alongside OJOplus, PlayOJO's money-back feature that pays something back on every bet. The app is published by Skill On Net Ltd, the company behind PlayOJO's UK Gambling Commission licence (account 39326).

Your PlayOJO account is the same in the app and in a browser: one balance, one set of limits, one verification record. For the full picture of the casino, see our PlayOJO slots review.

Finding the right PlayOJO app in the UK stores

The two store names don't match, which can cause confusion. On the UK App Store the title is PlayOJO Real Money Casino; on Google Play it's PlayOJO: Online Casino Games. The same iOS app shows a different, Ontario-specific title on the Canadian store, which is simply how Apple handles regional storefronts. As long as the publisher reads Skill On Net Ltd and you're on the UK store, you have the right one.

A small download that suits older phones

Two numbers set the PlayOJO app apart from many casino apps. It needs iOS 15.0 rather than a recent release, and the App Store lists it at 25.4 MB. For comparison, the Coral and Ladbrokes casino apps each need iOS 18.0 and list at roughly 101 MB. If you have an older iPhone or a phone that's short of space, PlayOJO is one of the easier casino apps to install.

A small app doesn't mean small games. Each slot loads its own graphics and sound from the studio's servers when you open it, so data use depends on what and how much you play, not on the app's size. On a limited data plan, play on Wi-Fi where you can. Data and battery tips are in playing slots on mobile.

Using the 80 welcome spins on Big Bass Bonanza from your phone

PlayOJO's offer is the same in the app: 18+, new UK customers (excluding Northern Ireland), first deposit of at least £10, 80 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p each, with no wagering, so winnings are paid in cash. Terms apply.

Because the spins are tied to one game, it's worth knowing what that game does. Big Bass Bonanza is a Pragmatic Play slot with 5 reels, 3 rows and 10 paylines, a published RTP of 96.71%, high volatility and a 2,100x maximum win. Put into pounds:

The average is only a long-run figure. Over 80 spins, a high-volatility game's results vary hugely; most players will end up with a few pounds, some with nothing, and very few will land anywhere near the cap. The 5×3 grid is one of the easiest layouts to play upright on a phone.

1. Install the app from the UK App Store or Google Play and register (18+, UK excluding Northern Ireland).
2. Make a first deposit of £10 or more.
3. Open Big Bass Bonanza from the lobby; the spins are played at 10p each.
4. Any winnings land in your cash balance with no wagering attached.

More detail is on our PlayOJO free spins page.

OJOplus and rewards in the app

OJOplus is PlayOJO's signature feature: a little money back on every game played, win or lose. It works the same way in the app as on the website, because it's tied to your account rather than your device. We haven't verified a published rate, so check the OJOplus details in your account rather than assuming a figure.

Money back reduces the cost of play slightly; it doesn't turn the house edge in your favour. A slot with a 96% RTP still costs about £4 for every £100 staked over the long run, before any money back. Our slots cashback page explains how to value schemes like this.

Portrait, landscape and the PlayOJO lobby

Whether a slot plays upright or sideways depends on the game. Developers build their titles to resize, and most recent releases offer a portrait layout as well as a landscape one. Older games may insist on landscape and ask you to rotate.

• 5-reel, 3-row slots such as Big Bass Bonanza or Book of Dead fit comfortably in portrait.
• Large grids and Megaways games are easier to read in landscape.
• Bingo rooms and live casino tables have their own layouts, which may differ from slots.
• If nothing rotates, check your phone's rotation lock before blaming the app.

The UK rules don't change with the screen: spins take at least 2.5 seconds, there's no autoplay or turbo, and the game shows your net position. See UK slot game design rules for the background.

Face ID and logging in on the PlayOJO app

Neither PlayOJO store listing mentions Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint log-in, and PlayOJO's help page doesn't describe biometric sign-in either, so don't count on it. If your version offers it, the option will appear after you log in with your password.

For a forgotten password, PlayOJO's help page says to tap 'Forgot Password?' below the password box, receive a code by email or phone, enter it and type a new password twice. PlayOJO doesn't store passwords in a retrievable form, so it can't tell you your old one. See PlayOJO login problems for more.

Location access, battery and privacy on the PlayOJO app

The UK App Store listing carries a specific line: the app may use your location even when it isn't open, which can decrease battery life. PlayOJO hasn't published a help page explaining why, so if you see a location prompt, read the reason given and choose the setting you're comfortable with. On iPhone you can change it at any time in Settings under the app's name.

Apple's privacy label lists identifiers as data used to track you, and device ID as data not linked to you. The Google Play data-safety section states that no data is shared or collected, that data is encrypted in transit, and that you can ask for it to be deleted. The two stores use different reporting rules, so the summaries don't line up exactly.

PlayOJO app or mobile browser?

Games, RTP versions and your balance are the same whichever you choose. For a broader comparison of phone play, see our mobile slots hub.

Safe Mate, Take A Break and deposit limits on your phone

The PlayOJO app listing names three safer gambling tools: Safe Mate, Take A Break and Deposit Limits. Limits apply to your account, so setting one in the app also covers the website. A deposit limit caps what you can add over a period you choose, while Take A Break locks the account for a period you choose. Our page on PlayOJO safer gambling tools explains each.

Slots are entertainment with a cost, and losses are the likely result over time. If you want to stop across all UK sites at once, GAMSTOP is free, and the National Gambling Helpline is on 0808 8020 133, 24 hours a day.

Where to play PlayOJO slots on mobile

For older iPhones and phones short on space, the PlayOJO app is one of the lighter options among the sites we cover; otherwise the browser gives you exactly the same account. The offers below are for new customers aged 18+ and terms apply. For a head-to-head on spins and payments, see Coral vs PlayOJO.
