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.

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.

Next-generation Remote Mobile Payment Technology
LAS VEGAS, May 9, 2017 -- Social Play USA, Inc. (OTC:

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

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

Spot&Pay
Spot&Pay is a mobile payment application that is used in connection with tthird-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.
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
or direct debit account 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.
Friendship Socks Inc.
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.
