FanDuel Faceoff 17+

Fun but puzzling

King’s Cross is a novel puzzle game, which I have enjoyed as a chess player. Double move bonus is not worth making any extra moves, but keeping 2 squares open near the king will generally help you be more efficient.

Paid contest model makes no sense unless you are the very best player at a game (and maybe not even then). I had my first tie in Wheel today, and it turns out the winnings are split in this case, making both players net losers (I’d rather get a refund, like a push in betting).

I hope there might be innovation so that it actually makes sense to keep playing paid contests. Also, it would be nice to see, for a specific puzzle, say, the few top scores from players, rather than just the top/average of oneself and the opponent over all puzzles, as they vary by difficulty, etc.

100% Chance You Won’t Win

First off, please do not fall for the 4.7 rating, it is a complete lie. There is absolutely no way real customers are giving this app that high of a rating. Any rating of four or five stars is without a doubt fabricated by AI or the people at FanDuel Faceoff. It’s really not that hard to tell lol.

Second, before you think about downloading this app, take a second and do your own research and look up to see how many real people have made posts on social media about how they’ve won money from playing on this app. A little hint: you won’t find anything, and that’s bc this app won’t let real customers actually win. All the money deposited into this app is kept by FanDuel. Anyone who is naive enough to think that people at FanDuel would play by the rules and be fair, are kidding themselves. People love to celebrate when winning, and you can’t find it anywhere on social media or online of folks saying “I won $20 from FanDuel Faceoff today!” Nothing. I find that very odd tbh.

And thirdly, there is absolutely no oversight for these apps, at least not yet. These apps are stealing millions on lies and false advertisement. Yes, I thought that was against the law as well. But when the people who are supposed to be enforcing the law are getting a piece of the pie, well it’s not that difficult to see why they’ve been getting away with it for so long.

Not really for me

If you like going up head to head with people live this could be fun. Not really my cup of tea, but the games are fun and seamless if you don’t mind live competition. Stresses me out a little too much but nothing against the app’s design or layout. I tried all the games for free and they were fun, I just know I’d likely lose against people playing this stuff all the time.

Side note, I do enjoy the reviews of people saying they lose more than they win. Hello people, that’s nearly any game that involves betting. If you want professional odds, go to an actual casino and play blackjack, but even there if you win too much you’ll get noticed. It’s hilarious that people come into these apps thinking they will walk away with more than they put in. It happens of course, but rarely. The whole point is to make money for these companies or they wouldn’t even exist let alone develop more apps. Stop fantasizing.
