You won't win games are a joke!

I pretty much agree with almost every review stated already except the guy who thinks everyone sucks at big buck hunter because he won 70 bucks. I send daily messages to the support and every reply fails to answer the question but instead gives you options pre written. I refuse to spend anymore real money on this game. I play dollar games or use the bonus money you can't cash out and play with that, or I just play all practice games so when you notice a huge difference in a score that's not possible you don't lose anything.

Trickery you never actually win and…

Trickery you never actually win and get to keep it. If you keep playing they ultimately pair you with higher scoring opponents and or more skilled which is always never-ending there always seems to be someone that can play better no matter how top notch yours skills may be. Then when you want to cash out your winnings they conveniently mail it to you in a good old time efficient check. May I also add that when you cash in for gift cards they make it an absolute inconvenience and an embarrassing to cash in one by on via a code you have to copy cut and paste into another verification which you then have to verify a third time via another email it is just sick and highway robbery

Class Action Lawsuit anyone?

I am considering trying to bring a class action lawsuit against Skillz for their flawed matching system. I was continually matched with opponents I could not beat. I understand that I may suck, but why keep pairing me with players after theyve beaten me 6 times in a row? Has anyone had similar experiences? I'd like to expose Skillz and see them pay for their malfeisance.

I would have given 0 stars if possible

I would have given 0 stars if possible. Scam game. So I lost while honing my skill at solitaire. Finally started winning. I was then matched up with higher skilled players. Again I lost. You will never win. They call this fair. You are matched according to skill instead of randomly. Can you imagine this taking place at a blackjack table? The app takes money for each game that's played. The way they match will assure that you never win. If you do, they charge a fee to cash out.

Skills bingo blackout kept crashing instead of refunding they matched me to lose every game.

Skills bingo blackout kept crashing, claiming I had aborted the game. They said I reported to many crashes and would no longer get my entry fee back. After I received this message, I was flagged and could no longer win. I went from winning 8 out of ten games to losing every game after I was warned about reporting crashes. put in $10 to test my theory after losing all my winnings when they threaten to stop refunding my money if I reported another crash. When playing they search for someone for you to play against and then they match you with someone who already finished and won by an extremely small margin. Game is fixed and rigged.

Sour Grapes or the Biggest Con in the World?

Easily the most dishonest and biggest scam ever to come along.
If you're actually good enough to turn their "bonus cash" into real money, they'll just continue to tread water by sending you every lawyer-approved form response known to mankind before banning you outright. And the thing is, every step along the way they just double talk you- nothing ever gets into the most general of facts regarding the player. I could go on for days about this company, or you can trust me when I tell you this is a giant con to the umpteenth degree.

Users have no control of their own…

Users have no control of their own accounts… users may NOT delete their account, and Skillz will only “disable” it if begged to do so. Skillz is very scammy and sus in that they keep my personal info even after I ask them to delete it. If you want to keep any control at all over your personal info, RUN AWAY from Skillz. Also, their “support” is useless. Most unintelligent AI I’ve ever encountered.

Very bad customer service

Games are fun enough but withdrawing money once you begin to turn a profit is a complete joke. They drag their feet and only provide canned response to inquiries about your payment. Some of the customer service people seem to take great pleasure in pushing your buttons. It’s a terrible company to deal with. Seems like such a simple formula. You win, they pay. They clearly either have money issues or culture issues or both. I’ve played for 2 years now and all was well until I started to turn a profit.

They have different matching system for…

They have different matching system for z-point,brackets and events they are matched 1st to play buyin plays next to play buyin. The head to head cash games are matched using their “fair play” matching system to benifit players when it is actually set up to 100% benifit skillz by keeping players as close to a 50% win rate as possible to maximize their rake. I did a $100 + 30 bonus deposit. On that deposit I played $870 worth on buyins and paid $134 in rake. Support gives no answers on why their ranking system is hidden and no answer on why their is no separate level for events and bracket play. When I ask about it in chat feature I’m either muted or my comments are instantly deleted. Complete scam site

Skillz took my money by closing my account without my permission!

I was enjoying these games UNTIL Skillz cancelled my account for NO REASON that made any sense. I didn’t violate any terms like they said. I asked for an explanation and they couldn’t give me a valid reason. All my money & tickets are gone now (luckily not a lot of money though, but what if there was)!
I do NOT recommend this company unless you want to get ripped off of your hard earned money and get horrible customer service from people like Laina & Gab!

ITS A SCAM

Been on app for 2-3 years after multiple crashes and aborts due to “connectivity” issues then finally refusing to refund for crashes due to there app so called glitches is just a way for them to steal your money and refuse refund. It’s a scam. Who governs these people? Who do you file complaint to get money back? Free games don’t ever crash

Tax/regulate them

My kid always plays these Skillz games and he never has any money. Coincidence? Lol

I checked it out, and… yeah.

Games and matching are manipulated to maximize player deposits. Constant “bugs” in games. They advertise the potential to earn a side income while the truth is that 98% of all players just lose.

I’m shocked that these mobile apps are legal. At the very least, they need be taxed and regulated like the gambling outfits they are.

The hens will come home to roost, they always do. In the meantime, be careful out there.

Very competitive- can practice ample amount of times before challenging for cash. Both players are drawn the same game so it really is about whom is better player.

Also good bonuses to keep you hooked. I've won 68% of games I've played and my choice is solataire

While the games are fun

While the games are fun, cash outs are Ridiculous. Only place I know that takes 4-6 weeks just to process your winnings. I've been on social casinos that payout in 3 days and its for THOUSANDS of dollars. I cashed out like 170$ on blackout bingo and it's been a month already lol they haven't even approved it yet, it's still processing. Also, waiting for a check just because I'm in the US is horrid. If it's about fees, just charge players for PayPal cashouts. I have one, but not everyone has a bank they can cash a check at. After this, IF I get my cash out, I won't play here anymore.
