SocialPlay USA, Inc. (OTC: SPLY) Breaking News - January 23, 2017

 


SocialPlay USA Accelerates Development Of Its Cryptocurrency Compatible Mobile Payment Platform Utilizing Blockchain Technology


LAS VEGAS, January 23, 2018 - Social Play USA, Inc. (OTC: SPLY), ('Social Play' or the 'Company') announces that it is finalizing negotiations to acquire Spot And Pay Inc. ( www.spotandpay.com ) and its Spot&Pay Mobile Payment Platform. Details of the agreement, which is subject to approval by the board of directors of each company, will be announced in the coming weeks.

SocialPlay identified Spot&Pay as an acquisition target due to its unique mobile payment application that is used in connection with third party QR codes that have been generated for specific uses; i.e. individual consumer products, specific services or group of services offered to the general public, B2B product and service offerings, monetary donations to charitable organizations, and quick and easy bill payments on recurring monthly accounts.

The Company’s software development plan has evolved to include a substantially more robust proprietary platform wallet feature that will allow users to create their own wallet so that they may buy and sell bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies directly from the Spot&Pay platform. It also provides seamless abilities to transfer money within the Spot&Pay user network instantly from one account to another without any processing delays.

As part of its strategy going forward, SocialPlay will focus significant development efforts on the integration of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies into its product offerings. The Company believes that the future of financial transactions will be in the mobile space, and the security of these types of financial transactions will rely on blockchain verification and its unique, decentralized ledger. Distributed blockchain ledgers provide a highly secure identity verification and authentication methodology of user data, resulting in the most secure platform for users to initiate and complete financial transactions. In addition to developing its own proprietary blockchain technology, the Company will also seek to acquire existing, complementary blockchain technologies.

About SocialPlay and Spot&Pay
Spot&Pay is a mobile payment application that is used in connection with third party QR codes that have been generated for specific uses. QR codes allow consumers a quick, simple, and paperless method of making purchases, donating to their favorite charity, and paying bills. The process relies on setting up a Spot&Pay mobile payment account attached to a credit card, direct debit account or cryptocurrency wallet, and then simply scanning a QR code with a mobile device for a particular product or service the consumer wishes to purchase. The Spot&Pay application will instantly facilitate the order and purchase of the product associated with the QR code and pay for it from the pre-designated method of payment set up by the user.

The most unique aspect of the Spot&Pay application is the ability to purchase products remotely, without having to visit a website or physically attending a retail establishment. This is accomplished simply by scanning a product’s QR code wherever it can be seen; such as from a bus shelter advertisement or other media, i.e. television or computer screen situated in a public space.

SocialPlay USA is a solutions provider for individuals and online companies; providing marketing, monetization, and support services for companies in the mobile applications marketplace.

SocialPlay USA and Acquisition Partner, Spot And Pay Inc., Add Significant Enhancements to its Bitcoin Compatible Mobile Payment Platform


LAS VEGAS, December 20, 2017 -- Social Play USA, Inc. (OTC: SPLY), ('Social Play' or the 'Company') along with development and acquisition partner Spot And Pay Inc. ( www.spotandpay.com ) is pleased to announce a significant new milestone in the ongoing development of the Spot&Pay universal mobile payment application, by Integrating risk mitigation and user verification security features.

Know Your Customer, or “KYC” guidelines are widely adopted methodologies used in the financial sector that prevent banks – or a payment application such as Spot&Pay - from being used, intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering activities and financial fraud. Related procedures also enable banks to better understand their customers and their financial dealings, which aids institutions, and Spot&Pay, in managing risk prudently.

This is highly desirable to Spot&Pay users, vendors, and business providers who use the platform as it ensures secure transactions by verifying that all users are bona fide individuals or business entities. Not only does this give peace of mind to the vast network of users, it also rises to the level of compliance adhered to by all traditional financial institutions around the globe. From an investor standpoint, such compliance also reduces the risk of legal exposure that may arise as a result of potential malfeasance.

This development also means that, in addition to the existing features of accepting credit cards, debit cards, and bitcoins, Spot&Pay will be able to add an unlimited number of bank accounts to their Spot&Pay wallet. Customers can pick their payment option for their purchases or donations through QR codes (Scan and Pay) or through specific search options (Find and Pay). As well, users will be able to transfer money from Peer to Peer within the Spot&Pay network from one account to another without having to access a financial institution outside of their individual Spot&Pay wallet.

Spot&Pay is a mobile payment application that is used in connection with third party QR codes that have been generated for specific uses; i.e. individual consumer products, specific services or group of services offered to the general public, B2B product and service offerings, monetary donations to charitable organizations, and quick and easy bill payments on recurring monthly accounts.

The most unique aspect of the Spot&Pay application is the ability to purchase products remotely, without having to visit a website or physically attending a retail establishment. This is accomplished simply by scanning a product’s QR code wherever it can be seen; such as from a bus shelter advertisement or other media, i.e. television or computer screen situated in a public space.

While QR Codes have been used for years in direct marketing, they are only quite recently being used more widely for mobile, remote purchasing, banking, and payments. Wal-Mart, which introduced QR code payment solutions as part of its Wal-Mart Pay feature in 2015, reports that usage of its internal application was up 45% as of July 2016, with 38% of payments coming from repeat users in all of its 4,600+ stores nationwide. This evolution speaks to the growing acceptance of QR Codes as a more sophisticated tool for problem solving and information delivery.

LAS VEGAS, December 5, 2017 -- Social Play USA, Inc. (OTC: SPLY), ('Social Play' or the 'Company') announces that significant advances in its corporate vision and mobile payment platform infrastructure. The Company, along with development and acquisition partner Spot And Pay Inc. ( www.spotandpay.com ) has integrated the first of a number of cryptocurrency payment options into the Spot&Pay mobile payment platform.

Bitcoin is the first digital currency to be added to the existing Spot&Pay payment system infrastructure and allows users an additional choice when it comes to paying for goods and services. In addition to the current method of paying by credit card or direct debit, users can scan a QR code and choose the Bitcoin payment option on the checkout screen. If Bitcoin is selected, Spot&Pay will connect to our gateway and generate the URL for the user to complete the transaction by opening their Bitcoin wallet and providing payment for the purchase.

The Spot&Pay platform is now integrated with Bitpay, a leading Bitcoin payment gateway and digital currency wallet service and is available on both IOS and Android apps. As the digital currency market continues to grow, Spot & Pay will add other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, Ripple, and Speedcoin options to its payment solutions.

Additionally, Social Play is in the initial stages of planning and developing its own reward based cryptocurrency which will form the basis of a strategic User Loyalty Program.

Social Play USA to Acquire Next-generation Remote Mobile Payment Technology


LAS VEGAS, May 9, 2017 -- Social Play USA, Inc. (OTC: SPLY), ('Social Play' or the 'Company') announces that it has entered into a binding Letter Of Intent ('LOI') with Spot and Pay Inc. ('Spot&Pay') of Henderson, Nevada.

The binding LOI covers the acquisition of a unique and robust consumer mobile payment application predicated on the rapidly expanding use of QR codes for individual product purchases, charitable giving, and bill payment options.

Spot&Pay is a mobile payment application that is used in connection with third party QR codes that have been generated for specific uses; i.e. individual consumer products, specific services or group of services offered to the general public, B2B product and service offerings, monetary donations to charitable organizations, and quick and easy bill payments on recurring monthly accounts.

The Spot&Pay application will instantly facilitate the order and purchase of the product associated with the QR code and pay for it from the pre-designated method of payment set up by the user.

The most unique aspect of the Spot&Pay application is the ability to purchase products remotely, without having to visit a website or physically attending a retail establishment. This is accomplished simply by scanning a product's QR code wherever it can be seen; such as from a bus shelter advertisement or other media, i.e. television or computer screen situated in a public space.

While QR Codes have been used for years in direct marketing, they are only quite recently being used more widely for mobile, remote purchasing, banking, and payments.

This evolution speaks to the growing acceptance of QR Codes as a more sophisticated tool for problem solving and information delivery.

Under the terms of the LOI the Company will acquire an initial thirty percent (30%) interest in Spot and Pay Inc. and the Spot&Pay mobile payment technology for $300,000. The Company also has an Exclusive Option to Purchase (the 'Option') the remaining seventy percent (70%) of Spot&Pay by issuing common shares in the capital of the Company valued at $700,000. The exact number of shares to be issued will be determined by the five day average trading price of the Company's shares prior to the date of exercising the Option.

Friendship Socks is a company that offers a unique line of designer socks, proudly manufactured in the USA, and markets its products through its quickly expanding online community. The company leverages social media to connect people more substantially through the gifting of a simple pair of socks, something everyone can use and appreciate every day.

The Friendship Socks process is very easy and involves a customer purchasing a pair of socks for themselves through the website, while at the same time also gifting a free pair to a friend of their choosing. This free pair gift purchase is embedded within a message that can be sent through any social media platform the buyer wishes. The friend then clicks on the link provided in the social media message, enters their shipping information, and waits for their socks to arrive in the mail. The recipient is now part of the Friendship Socks community and can then purchase a pair to surprise one of their own friends and so on and so on. Friendship Socks refers to this as “Pairing it Forward”, helping connect friends from across the street to around the world. The result is strengthened connections and stronger friendship bonds.

The company offers a one-time purchase as well as a subscription service, where every month the customer receives a new pair of socks and gets to choose a new friend to send a surprise pair to. This provides Friendship Socks the unique opportunity to connect with multiple customers through one initial purchase. Those familiar with the success of Dollar Shave Club (sold to Unilever for a reported $1 Billion) will recognize the potential that Friendship Socks has in creating a large and dedicated consumer following. This increased social media engagement creates exponentially expanding customer acquisitions while automatically increasing recurring sales revenue.
