PlayOJO casino games: what’s in the lobby

PlayOJO launched in February 2017 and is run by Skill On Net Limited, which holds UK Gambling Commission account 39326 (opens in a new tab) for casino (since 2014) and bingo (since February 2020). Its licence record describes its products as slots, live casino and bingo, and its app store listings add jackpot slots and table games. That gives five broad groups of PlayOJO casino games to choose from.

What PlayOJO doesn’t publish is a total game count or a list of every studio it carries, and lobbies change often. So we won’t claim a particular title is there; instead, this page explains how to judge any game you find in the lobby by what it costs. For the full brand picture, see our PlayOJO review.

PlayOJO casino games by category

Each group has its own page: PlayOJO slots, PlayOJO jackpots, blackjack and roulette at PlayOJO, the PlayOJO live casino and our general guide to online bingo. The rest of this page compares them on cost.

What each type of PlayOJO casino game costs to play

The cleanest way to compare games is expected cost: stake × number of rounds × house edge. The house edge figures below are standard game maths; the pace of play is our illustrative assumption, so plug in your own. These averages describe the long run, and any single hour can land well above or below them.

Two lessons stand out. First, the bet matters as much as the game: a Tie bet at the same baccarat table costs over ten times what the Banker bet does. Second, speed matters: a slot’s small edge adds up because you can play hundreds of rounds an hour. Our guide to cost per hour shows how to run these sums for any game, and lowest house edge games ranks the cheapest bets.

Rules to check before playing PlayOJO table games

Table games with the same name can have very different odds, because small rule changes shift the edge. Before you sit at any RNG or live table, open the rules and look for these:

Wizard of Odds’ house edge table (opens in a new tab) gives the same figures for dozens of other bets. For background, our guides to blackjack payouts of 3:2 against 6:5 and European roulette explain why each rule matters.

How OJOplus changes the cost of PlayOJO casino games

PlayOJO’s signature feature is OJOplus, which pays money back on every game played. PlayOJO publishes the rate in its own terms, so check it there rather than relying on a figure from elsewhere. The maths of money back is straightforward: it lowers your net cost by whatever share of each stake it returns, but it doesn’t change the game’s RTP or house edge.

Here’s a worked example in words. Stake £100 on a slot with a 96% RTP and the game returns £96 on average, a £4 cost. Add OJOplus and you get a little more back on top, so your net cost falls below £4, but only by the money-back share of £100. Unless the money-back rate were higher than the house edge, which isn’t how these schemes are built, you remain behind on average. That’s the right way to see it: a discount on entertainment, not a route to profit. Our page on comps explains the same idea for land-based rewards.

RNG or live: two ways to play PlayOJO table games

PlayOJO lists table games and live casino as separate categories, and the difference is worth understanding. RNG table games use software to deal cards or spin a wheel, so rounds are quick and stakes can be low. Live tables use real dealers and physical equipment streamed from a studio, so they play slower and usually have higher minimum stakes. Both use the same core maths: a single-zero wheel has a 2.70% edge whether the ball is real or virtual.

• Choose RNG if you want low stakes, a quiet pace you control within the minimum game time, or practice on rules.
• Choose live if you prefer seeing real cards and wheels, and don’t mind slower rounds and higher minimums.
• Either way, check the specific table’s rules, because variants differ.

Our guide to live casino against RNG games compares them in more depth, and are online casino games fair covers how both are tested.

Bingo among PlayOJO casino games: a different model

Bingo works differently from casino games. Under Gambling Commission rules it must be equal-chance gaming: players don’t stake against a bank, every ticket has the same chance of winning, and the game has a defined end. You’re competing with other players for a prize pool rather than playing against the house, so there’s no house edge in the casino sense. Check each room’s ticket price and prize details instead.

PlayOJO’s operator has held a bingo licence since February 2020. If you’re new to the formats, our guides to 90-ball bingo and 75-ball bingo explain tickets and prize stages.

How to find any PlayOJO game’s RTP and rules

UK technical standards require every online game to make its RTP or likelihood of winning, its rules and its payouts available before you commit to play, under RTS 3 (opens in a new tab). Games also can’t adjust outcomes to hit a target return, and rules and payouts can’t change while a game is available. To find the figures:

1. Open the game from the PlayOJO lobby without placing a bet.
2. Look for the information, help or paytable icon, often an ‘i’ or a menu button.
3. Find the RTP figure; some slots list more than one version, so note the one shown.
4. For table games, read the rules for payouts such as 3 to 2 blackjack or La Partage.
5. Compare the figure with our cost table above before choosing a stake.

UK rules that apply to every PlayOJO casino game

Since 17 January 2025, autoplay is banned for all online casino games, live casino included, casino games other than slots must allow at least 5 seconds per game cycle, you can’t play several games at once, and your net spend and time spent must be shown in real time. Slots have had their own rules since 31 October 2021: at least 2.5 seconds per spin, no turbo or slam-stop, and no celebrating returns lower than the stake. Online slot stakes are capped at £5 a spin for players aged 25 and over and £2 for those aged 18 to 24; those limits don’t apply to table or live games.

Our guides to game speed rules and slot stake limits explain each rule, and PlayOJO’s own safer gambling tools are covered on our PlayOJO safer gambling tools page.

PlayOJO’s welcome offer and which games it covers

PlayOJO’s welcome offer is a slot offer, so it only touches one corner of the games lobby. New UK customers aged 18+ (Northern Ireland excluded) who make a first deposit of £10 or more get 80 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza, each worth 10p; there’s no wagering, winnings arrive as cash, and terms apply. The offer stands alone, so it won’t combine with other promotions, and you need the designated offer link to claim it. For table games, live casino and bingo, look at the lobby and the relevant terms; the welcome spins don’t apply there.

18+. Every casino game has a built-in house edge, so over time you should expect to lose what you stake. Set a budget before you play and stop when it’s gone: safer gambling tools and support. Free, confidential help: National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133.
