Playamo Review

By Zena Grantham | Updated 18 January 2019

Playamo prides itself on being a site created by casino enthusiasts who wanted to provide the perfect site for other players to enjoy, based on what they themselves would want.

Playamo is not the only site to make this claim, but it is one of a small percentage, putting it in the closest that the online casino world gets to a niche market.

Playamo is not content to stop there though, taking advantage of another of these almost niche markets that exist within the online casino community, that being Bitcoin. By being fully compatible with Bitcoin payments, Playamo proves itself as a site with every intention of keeping up with the times and the evolutions within casino play.

This USP (of sorts) is certainly a good start, and will give a sense of optimism and confidence to any players looking for a new place to play, but that will only get Playamo so far, so what is on offer in terms of content and styling to make this site a contender in this highly competitive market?

Design and theme

If you are trying to mark yourself as something different in the world of bingo sites, maybe avoiding space as a theme is a sensible start, as this concept has been played out beyond belief over recent years.

However, Playamo does not do this, instead opting for cartoon aliens and spacescapes as its background theme. Fair enough, it’s far from unique, but the design is done very well and gives you a good sense of the undertone of fun and playfulness that echoes around the whole Playamo site.

There’s all of the most popular games available directly from the homepage, as well as the option to select games by provider from that same homepage.

Navigation is simple, and categories are separated as much as is necessary, not into the two or three options that can be confusing on other sites, but also not falling into the trap of having a dropdown menu for every individual game, another trap that a few of Playamo’s competitors have fallen into.

Games

Operated by SoftSwiss, Playamo also offers games from the likes of Endorphina, BetSoft, Amatic, Microgaming, and NetEnt. This approach of utilising a variety of software providers has been shown to create more traffic through a site, as the more different game types there are on offer, the less likely a player is to lose interest.

Slots fans can enjoy games that they may not find elsewhere. Instead of the popular classics that you may be expecting, you will find lesser known games, new releases, and other slots that will peak your internet. If you are looking for something new away from the games that seem to be available at every single other casino site on the internet, you’re likely to find it here.

Table game fans are also well looked after, with several variations of blackjack, roulette, and video poker on offer so that you will always find a game to suit your taste. There are also live dealer games for those looking to tap into that Vegas experience from the comfort of their own home.

Playamo is a newbie to the online casino scene, launched in 2016, and this means that its success remains to be seen. Perhaps the introduction of a few of those popular games may work to the site’s advantage, and a little bit of work on the somewhat stale design concept wouldn’t go amiss, but what Playamo has is an excellent start, and decent foundations from which to build a brand that could take over the online casino world!
