The Judge's Verdict

Only Play build games you poke at, not just spin — tap mechanics, crash titles and lottery-slot hybrids aimed squarely at a phone screen. Decent fun, but a young studio whose real test is which casinos they sit behind.

✔ The good

  • Genuinely different formats — tap, crash and lottery-slot hybrids, not just clone pokies
  • Built mobile-first, so they actually feel right on a phone
  • RNG tested by iTech Labs and BMM Testlabs
  • RTP norms sit in the standard high-96% band

⚠ The catch

  • Young studio with a thinner track record than the majors
  • Mostly appears on offshore/crypto sites with no Australian-law protection — and cashout quality is on the casino, not Only Play
  • Published RTPs can be configured lower by operators, so verify per game

In Depth Review

Only Play (OnlyPlay) made their name on games that ask you to do something. Their TapGames line — Piggy Tap being the headline — wants quick taps instead of a passive spin, and their Slottery hybrids like Jungle Gold, Myths of Bastet, Lucky Punch and Wild West Girls bolt a lottery feel onto a slot frame. Add crash titles (CricX, GoalX, ScoreX) and a stack of straight pokies — Caramelo Jackpot, Cherry Boom, Coin Flynn, Piggy Bonanza — and you've got a catalogue of well over 100 titles, every one built mobile-first.

Playing them feels arcade-y rather than cinematic. The interactive formats reward attention, the crash games are fast and twitchy, and the slots run a fairly standard feature set. RTP sits in the normal band — published figures land around the high 96s (Piggy Tap near 96.98%, Cherry Boom around 96.6%) — though offshore operators can configure lower versions, so check the number on the actual game. The house style reads medium volatility: regular hits with the odd bigger pull, not a grind-you-to-dust experience.

You'll find them at offshore-facing rooms like King Billy, TonyBet, 20Bet and Wild.io, often alongside the bigger studios on crypto-friendly sites. RNG is tested by iTech Labs and BMM Testlabs, which is the bare minimum done properly.

The catch: a fresh studio is only as good as the cashier behind it. Only Play don't pay you — the casino does. Their games turn up plenty on crypto-first offshore sites where withdrawal speed and limits swing wildly, so judge the operator's cashout record before the game. No worries on the fun side; the money side is on the casino, not the studio.

Reputation & awards

Respectable for their age. Founded in 2020 off an outsourcing background, Only Play picked up a Rising Star nomination at the iGaming Idol Awards and run iTech Labs and BMM Testlabs RNG certification. No scandal, no fairness flags — they're a known, growing supplier rather than a fly-by-nighter, but not yet a household name on the level of the big studios.

FAQ

Is Only Play safe to play in Australia?

The games are RNG-tested by iTech Labs and BMM Testlabs, so the maths is verified. But you'll mostly meet them at offshore casinos that hold no Australian licence, which means no protection under Australian law. Safety comes down to picking an operator with a clean, fast cashout record.

What is Only Play's best pokie?

Their standout is the TapGames title Piggy Tap, which leans on quick tapping rather than passive spins. Their Slottery hybrids like Jungle Gold and Lucky Punch, plus pokies such as Cherry Boom and Caramelo Jackpot, are the other ones worth a look.

What is the RTP on Only Play pokies?

Published figures sit in the high-96% range — Piggy Tap near 96.98% and Cherry Boom around 96.6%, for example. Treat that as indicative only; offshore operators can run lower-RTP versions, so check the figure on the actual game before you play.
