Review:I am leaving an updated review regarding my suspended Skillz account which remains blocked under Section 7.3. I have always played legitimately without using bots, VPNs, or unauthorized software. I am requesting a full manual audit of Ticket #17573761 to restore access to my account.

The games are fun and genuinely good sometimes but the customer support is sorely lacking and constantly has wait times and the failure to actually solve the problems that you message. Lots of the games are constantly bugging and they refuse to give refunds if your game goes the post certain margin

The games are fun and as they want they are very addicting. I kept putting money in and blowing through it and it FINALLY hit me what they are doing. Currently I have 14 games "awaiting Challenger" which is ALWAYS the case. I can remember when there was always a challenger to go up against anytime of the day but now none of these games ever have a challenger. So with this being said I'm not winning no money at all until a day or two later when FINALLY one challenger from all over the world finally plays and I get a dollar back maybe 🤔🤔 I then go straight through money just deposited and put more in. Well NEVER AGAIN!!!! I can't believe how stupid I have been. I'll go to another platform where people actually play, not one when a player comes along every few days

Playing Brick Blaster it’s too easy to bump or breathe on the wrong button and the game begins and if you don’t want in a cash game, you have two seconds to exit, otherwise you’re in a cash game, unprepared. Or you might think you’re playing a free game but you lose. No problem, it asks you Play Again? Sure, I just lost a free game, let’s try again 😁 Next thing you see is OUT OF FUNDS because you just lost your $18 while thinking it was a free game. That is on purpose I think, otherwise they would ask Are You Sure? before betting a large amount.

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 pathetic customer service. They basically ignore you, or answer with some generic copy and paste message. They are definitely scammers and don’t care about you. Also, even though they are using some generic copy and paste message and then adding their name to it, they still don’t read your question. Because of this you may receive a message that has absolutely nothing to do with the question you asked. When you attempt to clarify yourself they are likely to have a different representative send the exact same copy and paste message with their name on it, or some other copy and paste message that has nothing to do with what you’re asking. When you point this out the next person may go back to the first message. It is honestly annoying. I started playing free cell on Skillz and then when Covid hit I tried a game called “Mini Golf King”. I was OK at the game and turned 5 dollars deposit with 10 dollars bonus cash added on into about 2800, and I had withdrawn 600 and claimed some gifts with credits such as a yoga mat, sweaters, shirts, etc. At the end of playing this game I could play about 30 6 dollar entry games and only 1 would find an opponent before 1 week, when the matches are canceled. This is annoying because I was playing my absolute best I had ever played when this happened. That’s one downside for sure. You get challenged for a very long time and when you step up and do your best, you don’t even get an opponent. The next game I played was “Big Hearts” where I lost money until my 2800 was now between 1800 and 1900, and then I turned it around and brought my account back up to 3200. I also redeemed several gifts with tokens, and because I only profited small it seems like I was worse at this game but that is not the case. I did worry when people started quitting, and started to focus on 3 dollar entry games (which did not award time bonuses) because I was worried about my opponents hiding out in this entry level because speed was likely my greatest advantage in this game. I sacrificed lots of earnings by focusing on becoming the best at the entry where time means nothing, but competition still dwindled and I started looking for a new game. Sure enough that day came when a new game is was released which had solid graphics and seemed like it would catch on and become a very popular game on the platform. I closely watched the game and when a pro league opened up I immediately quit playing “Big Hearts” and started practicing. Almost instantly, well instantly, I was making money and actually enjoyed the game. The account grew in a very short time even though the game was new and I was playing mostly .60 entries with only a few games in the higher stakes. Skillz promoting this game a little too, and the bonuses in the pro league got a big boost to draw more players. Right when Skillz did this they blocked me from playing. It was quite annoying. They said they were doing an in depth review of my account. This has went in for about two weeks now, and I am not aloud any matchups. When I first began playing they reviewed my account and I did not have to stop playing during the review. Also I have had to play games while broadcasting my screen to them and broadcasting me playing at the same time, while a Skillz representative watches. They did block me from getting matchups before I completed this process for “Big Hearts” for a few days, but I had missed the first scheduled appointment (my internet was down and it was during Covid lockdown) so it was slightly understandable. Even though it was slightly understandable, they completely denied it was happening. I contacted every single department and they all sent me a copy and paste message about how Skillz matchup system works and sent me a link to a website that explains it more. I don’t know if I should call that abuse, or what. So then miraculously when I met with the Skillz team member Riley for the online meeting where I would play games while broadcasting, the matchups suddenly worked. I was messaging saying I’m used to being matched up 100 minimum each day, and now nothing, but every single department ensured me that nothing was wrong and sent me the link with the copy and paste message.

Played solitaire. Built up my prize money to $100 Amazon card, but as soon as I reached $100, it automatically dropped to $91. I refuse to give them my PayPal information, and buy am I glad. Must be PayPal scam.

Not sure the game 21 is honest. I’ve quit playing because things don’t add up playing this game. If you like losing more then you do winning then this game is for you. Finally wised up and quit the game.
