MrPlay

MrPlay Review

MrPlay is one of the newest entrances to the betting site scene, launched in just 2017 as an online casino. The company's sportsbook launched at the end of 2019, and Mr. Play has been adding new content ever since. MrPlay is owned and operated by Aspire Global International LTD, a betting site conglomerate headquartered in Malta.

As for me, they're an incredibly user-friendly platform with three primary services:

1. The company is branded around the Mr. Play mustache, which is shown all over their marketing.
2. It's straightforward to remember, meaning that you'll be left with a lasting impression from the company's offerings.
3. That's thanks in part to how beginner-friendly Mr. Play is, offering magazines on how to bet effectively, instructions for every game, and an overall easy-to-understand website.

Aspire Global is licensed and holds gambling licenses in six areas, including Malta, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Portugal, Ireland, and Sweden. While Mr. Play was launched in 2017, Aspire Global has been around since 2005, making them first in many betting-related services. In addition, they're a genuinely massive company, which may prove to be good or bad to me. So, with that in mind, let's start this Mr. Play review:

What services does MrPlay offer?

There are three primary services offered by Mr. Play. These would be casino games, scratch cards, and sports (the company's sports betting platform). All of them are branded under Mr. Play, meaning that they're incredibly user-friendly and overall effortless to operate.

Casino

Although it's still made from a quality selection, Mr. Play doesn't have original games or a vast collection to play through their casino. So instead, the company licensed more than 400 games from significant casino game developers, including Microgaming, IGT, NetEnt, NYX, and many more.

There are two major sections within the casino, including video slots and casino games. Scratch cards are also included, but they're also marketed as their product by MrPlay. The vast majority of Mr. Play's games are video slots, with the company boasting upwards of a few hundred. These range from your standard video roulette games to blackjack and other branded experiences. Mr. Play has a “classic” section listed, but it's the best and most popular game from its lineup.

While MrPlay's video slots are decently large, the potential payouts are massive. Redeem the Dream, for example, is an exclusive slot machine to Aspire companies. The payout usually sits around 250,000 pounds, and it grows as players bet. Of course, much smaller payouts come through often, although that quarter of a million is impressive for such a user-friendly site. Other examples include Cosmic Fortune's 50,000-pound jackpot, which can grow to upwards of 400,000.

Alongside these videos, slots are MrPlay's casino games offering. There are quite a few, although I can currently only view two. According to other reviewers, the selection is decent but still a bit lacking. You can tell that most of Mr. Play's capital has gone towards its video slots collection, although its casino games selection still isn't too bad. The games available all feature HD broadcasts with high bets, so the games still work great.

Scratch Cards

Weirdly, scratch cards are listed as a completely separate entity compared to the casino, which is understandable but weird. According to the company's website, 100 unique titles are provided at a time. That's quite a large variety, especially for scratch cards. Of course, there's much less detail involved with this selection, as they're scratch cards. Nonetheless, it's impressive that MrPlay has managed to squeeze out over 100 games available to play.

Scratch cards aren't often provided by the larger and more established players in the betting industry, so it's fascinating to see them on a new platform. Many generally ignore these cards, although they're one of the most accessible and enjoyable ways to bet. After all, I'm relatively comfortable in saying that scratch cards and lottery tickets are two of the most common bets/gambles out there.

Sportsbook

Often the most outstanding product for betting sites, the sportsbook is one of Mr. Play's three significant offerings. It's only existed since 2019, though, meaning that there's still a lot that the company's working through. Even still, it's owned and operated by Aspire Global, meaning that the sportsbook isn't slacking when compared to the company's competitors.

Mr. Play's sportsbook covers over 35 sports, with more than 65,000 events passing through the site every month. In addition to standard pre-game betting, MrPlay offers in-play betting markets, which can take advantage of a game's spontaneous betting opportunities. That's a unique aspect to include with such a young site, although it's welcome. For those not too familiar with in-game betting, it can push a game's betting opportunities into the tens or hundreds. 

Overall, MrPlay exceeds football, basketball, horse racing, tennis, and ice hockey, the five most common sports to bet on. According to other reviews, the lines often are excellent. Mr. Play's sportsbook offers fantastic bonuses and marketing promotions for new and existing clients, offering quality betting material.

The sportsbook interface can be a bit chaotic, although not confusing. You can quickly access all the sports to the left and some featured links in the corner, a search bar, a betting slip, today's events, and current bets and their odds. It's well laid out, and it's beneficial for a beginner or someone who's not entirely confident in what they can do betting. As a bonus to that crowd, Mr.play provides some help and instructions at the bottom of the page, helpful for everyone.

Where is MrPlay available (and how is its software)?

According to Mr.play, they're available where you can pay with Euros and GBP. You should use the software wherever English, German, Swedish, Norwegian, or Finnish according to independent sites. The software is available in most of Europe and even the United States (although that depends on which site you visit).

You can also play on MrPlay using Android devices, iPhones, Windows Phones, iPads, and Macs or PCs. That's incredible, and the site is perfectly readable and usable across all those platforms. Speaking of which, Mr. Play's website and software are excellent. It's very minimalist, not too pushy on the eyes, and is branded well with blue, black, gray, and white. Everything is easily viewable, and you don't even have to scroll down to open an account, log in, chat, view the top-rated games, play bonus games, visit the casino, view promotions, or open the sportsbook. It's that good.

Plus, the site adapts well to mobile devices, letting you still view everything with ease. MrPlay is an excellent way for beginners to understand how betting and online casinos work, as it's elementary to understand and very well designed.

What bonuses and promotions does Mr.play have?

Welcome Bonus

Arguably, Mr. Play's most excellent bonus, the welcome bonus, is beneficial for those joining the company's services. Currently, new players can claim a total value of 200 pounds, split across three deposits:

1. 1st Deposit | 100% bonus up to 50 pounds
2. 2nd Deposit | 50% bonus up to 75 pounds
3. 3rd Deposit | 50% bonus up to 75 pounds

Across those three deposits, if you deposit a total of 350 pounds split into 50, 150, and 150, you'll get a total value of 200 in bonuses. In addition, you have the chance to earn 100 free spins, with a total payout limit of 100 pounds across the free spins. Even with that limit, the free spins have an incredibly competitive bonus payout.

Mr.play Loyalty Program.

The loyalty program at Mr.play is pretty easy to understand and use, with better bonuses as you spend money and rank up their systems. It's a mixture of a usual loyalty program and VIP program, with new players earning their way up as they spend more. As you deposit, bet, and finish on Mr. Play's services, you'll gain points that will not only allow you to cash out eventually but also boost your level.

As you gain levels, you'll work your way up to better benefits and higher payout ratios. For example, at the top level (Prestige VIP), you'll gain the ability to fast withdraw, spend free spins, achieve a higher point-to-money ratio, and a few other benefits. Overall, the company's loyalty program focuses on providing benefits instead of direct cashouts, which makes perfect sense. After all, why would you give out a profit when you can give up potential revenue.

Monday Reward Play

Available during the Mondays of your first month at Mr.play, you can use the code MONRplay to earn one point for every 5 pounds wagered. You have to deposit 20 or more when using the code, although you'll be put in the running for a 1,000-pound prize pool on Mondays. It's perfect for keeping players using the company's services weekly, and I think it's a decent way to build up your loyalty program and standing with the company.

What payment methods and payout options are available?

Mr.play allows deposits with six payment options and payouts with four. The payment methods include:

1. Visa Debit
2. Maestro
3. Skrill
4. Neteller
5. PaySafe Card

These six methods have a 10-pound minimum deposit and zero fees, meaning that you'll be able to put in a little bit of money with no fees to kick off your Mr.play experience. In addition, the company accepts Euro and GBP currencies, meaning that everyone else can't use the services without the correct country origin and payment currency. As for payout options, Mr.play is home to these four:

1. Visa Debit
2. Maestro
3. Skrill
4. Neteller

Withdrawal Times and Fees

With transfers to your bank through Trustly, Mr. Play's payment partner, you can see your money enter your account within three business days. Through a standard bank transfer, withdrawals can take upwards of 6 to 8 business days, which is much slower (unless you don't have an online bank for Trustly to deposit in).

As for any fees (both deposit and withdrawal), Mr.play doesn't charge any! So while your payment provider may pass a price of around 1% to you, the fee is definitely from Mr.play. The company is more than proud of that position, mentioning it several times across their website and terms and conditions.

Is Mr.play safe and legit?

Definitely. Remember, Mr.play is owned by Aspire Global International LTD, a company that has to deal with dozens of countries' regulations and laws, which they do-follow. While the company is licensed and registered by dozens of countries, the principal license is from the Malta Gaming Authority and UK Gambling Commission. It's registered with GamStop. So aspire (and Mr.play by extension) can operate safely in dozens of countries with these two licenses.

You're guaranteed to have fair odds and treatment when using an Aspire or Mr.play service. However, you're legally allowed to voice any potential issues with the Malta Gaming Authority and UK Gambling Commission if need be. In addition, Mr.play has been tested by iTech Labs, an independent reviewing service that tests games for fairness and natural odds.

Mr. Play's sites are SSL encrypted, with the lock and HTTPS provided by their domain name. Additionally, Mr.play offers information through these pages:

• About Us
• Responsible Gaming 
• Privacy Policy
• Terms and Conditions
• Bonus Policy
• Fair Play Policy
• Site Security 
• Sitemap

That's very impressive that the company has put that much information out there for people to read. You can know virtually everything Mr.play plans to do with your data, their fairness, terms and conditions, bonus policy, and what security measures they have in place. If you have any doubts about the company's safety or legitimacy, then definitely check out their provided pages for information. They're instrumental. There are really rare cases where customers get restricted or banned from the casino.

Online Concerns

People voiced a few concerns online about Mr. Play's withdrawal and payout options, which significantly brought down their Trustpilot score. That can seem concerning, although it's very much not. Most people that voice their opinion on Trustpilot generally do so to get a company's attention for something that has happened. You're more likely to go to the site for something terrible rather than something good. I trust my view of the site and the views of other reviewers over random comments on a platform known for relatively overwhelming negativity.

Conclusion

Throughout this Review and everything I've seen on the website, it's pretty safe to say that Mr. Play is an excellent place for beginners and those looking for an easy gaming experience. The company is well-known, even for being so young, and is owned and operated by Aspira, a trusted and old name in the industry. Plus, you have a generous selection of games, scratch games, and sportsbook selections, all on a website that's just a few years old.

There's a lot that can go wrong with being a newcomer to the betting scene, and Mr.play hasn't done any of it. They don't charge fees or have excessive deposit rules, they don't have a significant withdrawal time, and they provide virtually any piece of information you'd need. You can also contact them through a live chat program and email. While the company isn't available 24/7 for support, and their service has a few questions from past customers, Mr.play is still pretty reliable.

Additionally, Mr.play has a wide selection of virtually anything a beginner could ask for, backed up by more advanced features in an easy-to-understand and well-branded package. Their software's available on several platforms, looking great on computers, tablets, and smartphones while staying fully functional and very well branded. 

Is it worth signing up for Mr.play?

I think it is. They have quite a few things going for them, whether from their decent library for a new entry to the betting scene or their focus on a quality platform vs. engineering their games. However, having 400 games licensed from other companies is usually a weakness, where it becomes a strength in Mr. Play's case. Plus, they offer scratch cards which prove to be often really hard to find.

With some decently sized bonuses, a robust loyalty program, and a beginner rewards program, and there's a lot to like in terms of additional returns and benefits, alongside an accessible price tag. Mr.play doesn't charge virtually any fees, whether in deposit or game fees, which encourages beginners and professionals alike. There's a lot to like about a company that places its direction in its customers' hands, so I believe that it's worth signing up for Mr.play, whether you're a beginner or just a person looking for a new platform to bet on.
