Some games are awesome some obviously are not and why I say that is 1 some games don’t have cash prizes 2 the baseball game on my phone I can’t speak for anybody else but it has a timing problem sometimes where the bat doesn’t swing when you hit the swing button and the pairing of opponents I understand but let’s say that person has played before and had to open a new account for whatever reason and u get paired with that person and they blow you out the water if that happens I feel like the new player should at the least get a free rematch or their money back. And I was aborted from a game quite a bit of times and got my refund except for the last one that I’ve been trying to get back for 2 days now they keep saying we will get with you in 24 hrs we’ll that hasn’t happened so I’m a little upset with that process and had a game that’s been holding a 10$ prize for 7 days and the “handbook” says I’ll get my entry fee back and no dice so far but if u just wanna have fun it’s got great games if u want to make money be careful of the games you choose

This game is TERRIBLE

I gave 5 ⭐️’s because I want everyone to think about it! Skillz wants you to add money to your account to “win” cash prizes. Cool no problem thats what I came here for… but here is the real problem. It’s like they are running a pyramid scheme because you add money and yeah you will win a game or so but after every time you win you will some how be paired with an expert player the next game its just suspicious because it is EVERY TIME after you win so you will LOSE which results in you obviously losing the game but YOUR MONEY! So you are fished in by the advertisement of “winning money” then you play and win every other game and it pumps you up to think you have a chance of actually winning more money. Then you play again and or maybe put more money in and some how you get paired with the best player and lose. In my honest opinion I think everyone plays against an A.i Robot created by Skillz and majority times there is no profile picture of the person you are playing, There is a constant cycle of win, lose, win, lose. Who knows if that money you lose goes directly to Skillz or if it legitimately goes to another person. I think it’s a SCAM and all of our money goes to the company instead of its players! Then to add on to all that I deleted the Skillz app 6 MONTHS AGO… I wake up this morning to an email basically stating I will be charged $2 for not logging in and playing😂 They call it a “maintenance fee” which is hilarious. Y’all wont get a dime out of me.

I’ve been playing skillz games for a couple of months winning some and losing some. Winning more than i was losing but when it a 2/3 payout you have to be winning a lot more than losing or you won’t make money and slowly lose. I was cool with that. I understood and at my skill level I lost a couple hundred the first month but still I knew what was up and chose to continue. The last couple of days I have been winning 70-80% of the games I played finally getting some money back still negative in grand total but up for the week and they shut down my account without giving me a reason and will not respond to any of my emails. They stole everything i had in my account on there without giving any of that back. All I got was a generic email saying i broke one of the rules i agree’d and included all of the rules to look through. I read through it and there was not a rule on there i broke. I haven’t done anything differently this entire time i’ve played. They didn’t have any issue when i was losing but once you develop a pattern of winning they term you and still take all you money. Impossible to make money if you can only be on the app if your losing money. STAY AWAY and if you’ve had a similar experience join me in reporting this scam to the BBB.
FRAUD WARNING

SKILLZ is Lying to you. I trusted them too and spent a lot of money on the platform they promise is legit and fair. But the “skill” would plateau, and my doubts of fair gameplay got stronger. Especially with one game in particular. So I did my research and found 1 developer and his game “Brick Blaster” to be a complete scam. This game has 1 developer operating numerous fake profiles. This developer was convicted of running an illegal gambling site on the East Coast and Laundering thousands through offshore accounts. Now hes back at it stealing your money again. This time living in Canada and hiding behind the SKILLZ platform. I came to SKILLZ with court docs, video of the game cheating, names and all the proof that I had, it looked promising for a second. I kept getting put through higher departments until I finally got to what they claimed was the top decision maker. They gave me 20 bucks in free play , said they closed the case, and that I didn’t have sufficient evidence or video of gameplay. Well any of you want to get in touch with me I will send you video of this game cheating . Court records of this guys conviction (which is public record btw) . Don’t let these companies rip you off!! Aren’t you tired of being taken !? I am… TAKE BACK.
