Skillz Games - Official App 17+

Meh

There is one really cool feature about this app: top replay (for some of their more popular apps). Other than that, it was mostly disappointing. There are low res images throughout the UI, so not enjoyable to look at. There is no where to go and get player generated match codes for games that don’t have a chat (which I only bring up because they have restricted the limited apps that do have the chat feature to only sharing match codes for their game alone). Also, they still don’t list all the Skillz games. Their link to discover new games takes you out of the app to their website that only shows maybe 30% of the games available. So we can no longer mention in chat other games we’re playing, and then Skillz doesn’t even show all the games on their site. What’s even worse, their website still showcases games that are no longer available. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I expected so much more from this app.

Disgusted

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.

Players BEWARE!!

Skillz has recently been removing player’s accounts and banning them from ever playing Skillz again stating they had broken one of their rules; yet when the players respond inquiring about which rule they broke, Skillz “support” will not respond to them. Also, Skillz says anyone can volunteer to be a chat moderator. But what they do not tell you is, they have qualifications on who they allow to be chat moderators. When I volunteered, I got a response saying they reviewed my account & have decided to “decline” me being a chat moderator as I don’t meet their qualifications. Yet, when I asked what those qualifications are, they tell me that they do not disclose that information and threatened to delete my account if I kept volunteering (I only volunteered twice). Skillz is sketchy; play for coins only, because if you play for money & you’re legitimately a good player who wins a lot, they WILL accuse you of cheating and ban you from ever playing Skillz games and even threaten to peruse legal action against you for money laundering if you try & make another Skillz account after being banned. They’ll probably ban me for this review. 🤦‍♀️
