As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect time to hit pause, rewind and revel in the first year of playTSOGO. Let’s unwrap and celebrate the milestones that have marked our journey… From the first spark to the shared victories and lessons we’ve learnt along the way.

The Essence of playTSOGO

With our sophisticated and elegant dark theme, our brand is built around simplicity and minimalism.
playTSOGO is an online betting platform that offers players an exciting, thrilling, exhilarating, dynamic and extraordinary experience. It is specially tailored to those who want a hassle-free payout of their winnings. We offer players sports betting, the chance to place bets on several Privé Slot Games, and an impressive collection of live table games and live game shows.

The website’s responsiveness guarantees players a seamless and uninterrupted betting experience on various devices including desktops, tablets and phones. There is also a live chat ready to help players with instant assistance for a variety of queries.

We take responsible gambling very seriously, which is why the website and all branded messages cater to helping players manage their betting activities effectively.

The Inception of playTSOGO

Our online platform was launched with the aim of diversifying our gaming portfolio, tapping into a previously untouched market and reaching a wider spectrum of betters. According to Business Insider Africa, “The truth is that things have taken an upward trend in the casino industry since COVID struck, especially on online gambling sites. And while some land-based casinos are roaring back to life, online gambling sites in Africa are undoubtedly taking over.”

Our Exclusive VIP Launch

The VIP launch was nothing short of spectacular as we unveiled our cutting-edge online gaming platform. Amidst a luxurious setting, guests were treated to performances by the famous house trio, Mi Casa and the comedic genius of Jason Goliath, creating an unforgettable atmosphere of entertainment and celebration. We set the stage for an exciting journey ahead of us.

Our Customers Want More

The playTSOGO platform was launched with a batch of games on offer, but they were so well received that we launched more. Now we have an impressive collection of 21 additional games on offer to our players. The fun doesn’t stop there, as we plan on improving and adding more to the lineup.

We are Customer Focused

Our commitment to exceptional customer service sets us apart from other operators in the industry. Our dedicated team works hard to ensure assistance to our players is readily available to address any queries. Whether through live chat, email or phone, we prioritise providing a seamless and swift response to ensure our players’ gaming and betting experience is smooth and enjoyable.

We also offer a range of bonuses and promotions, including a welcome bonus for new players and regular promotions for existing players.

“We’re excited that we will be amplifying our library of games. Our team is fuelled by a passion to craft a broad product portfolio. I guarantee you, we’re shaping an experience that our customers can undeniably look forward to,” says Feron Somiah, General Manager of playTSOGO.

Tsogo Rewards Programme

We launched our rewards programme in November 2023, and it works in conjunction with Tsogo Rewards. What this means is that Tsogo Rewards points and playTSOGO points can be used interchangeably between land-based and online gambling, hotel stays and other Tsogo entertainment offerings. This is to ensure you get the most out of the Tsogo Rewards programme. We want to treat you like the King or Queen that you are.

Celebrating a Legacy

The South African Hall of Fame announced that Dr Kaizer Motaung, founder and chairman of Kaizer Chiefs football club, was to be inducted into the South African Hall of Fame on 9 November 2023, in collaboration with Tsogo Sun, playTSOGO, and Bet.co.za. The induction took place at an exclusive Tsogo Sun location.

Dr Kaizer Motaung has been an active entrepreneur and business leader throughout his life. In 2004 he received the Entrepreneurial Leadership Award from Henley Management College, South Africa, and in July 2022 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Cape Town.

The Leaderboard Promotion

Our leaderboard promotions add an exhilarating gaming experience for our players. By opting in, players bet on selected games and earn points, with the player’s positions on the leaderboard updating every two minutes. The competitive thrill intensifies as players strive to climb the ranks, with their positions being determined by the number of points they accumulate. It is an exciting thrill ride to see who dominates the leaderboard in real-time.

Where we are Headed

Our main focus for the future is to retain customers through excellent customer service, detailed product features and brand engagement. Our players are our heartbeat, they are the centre of everything we do, which is why we will constantly strive to create an interface that is custom-designed to cater to betting habits.

“As we reflect on the incredible journey of the past year, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to YOU, our valued customers. Your unwavering support has fuelled our passion for providing an exceptional online betting experience. Here’s to the memories we’ve made together and the thrilling moments that lie ahead. As we step into 2024, hand in hand, we’re excited to continue this exciting journey with you.
