System is rigged

etheengineer

On the outside this seems like a good idea, play games you know, win money, what's not to like? However in reality the developers have creatively developed a clever system to fleece people of their money. They state that they have created all this proprietary technology to guarantee fairness in matches, but in reality what they have created is an ingenious way of keeping truly skilled players from ever collecting any money! What happens is basically this.. If you are a skilled player and win too much, they will match you up against a better player so that you lose. So if you are good, you will just yoyo back and forth from winning and losing and never really make any money. In 20 matches, I played the same player 18 times! Since it is 60% on a loss and 40% on a win, it is very easy to go nowhere.. you have to win 3 out of 5 matches just to break even, and if you win too much, their "system" just matches you against a superior player to make sure you lose. So essentially, skilled players never make any money and poor players will lose money and have to deposit more! Be warned, if you deposit money you will not cash out! Thank god i never deposited anything! lasted a week on the $2 gift they gave me and went back and forth between $2 and $4 playing the same player 95% of the time, with the occasional introduction of a much better player if I won to many times in a row.. finally got lazy and lost 4 in a row.. .37¢ left.. will definitely not he making a deposit, total scam!


SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!! ????????✋?✋?✋?✋?

Put some dollars on there and they charged me twice!!! Now trying to collect whatever was available and they telling me it's gonn take 4 to 6 weeks. Mu'f*ckin' scammers!!! I got time yo!!!! And I will not stop until I get my money refunded to my account within the next few days!!!! Stupid lazy asses try a Jew people out!!!


Do not install, coming from a winner.

This company is rigged, coming from somebody who has won money off of them. The "algorithm" they use supposedly ensures that all games are skill based and fair, when in reality it is the COMPLETE opposite. This algorithm places you with players just as good as you, making your odds of winning as "50/50" as possible. This practically makes the chances of you winning equal to the chances of a coin being heads when you flip it, also known as the DEFINITION of luck based. And better yet, if you actually are fantastic at a game, and better than everyone else, the company simply refunds you your money and doesn't put you up against anyone. In other words: the worst players on this app have just as good odds of winning as the best players. This app is all luck based... coming from someone who has won off of it. Had 30 dollars in a PayPal account that I wasn't doing anything with, decided to deposit it, and lucked out into 200 dollars, making a profit of 170 after losing the 30 I left in. If you accept that this app is literally gambling, go for it. However, this app really is NOT "esports" like they say it is. If you want to gamble, go ahead. But for the large percentage of you thinking you'll make money off of this by being a beast at games, you won't.


Not worth it

I’ve been a player for this app for about a year now... and each time I put money into the game... you hope you would win as much as they advertise... unfortunately it doesn’t do that way... they say they would match your skills with other players but they don’t... they would match you with someone who has a higher score than you... I’ve been playing these games for a while and I haven’t won no more than $100... meanwhile I’ve put in about $1,200+ already... they owe me money than I put into... definitely not worth the download... I decided end of this month, I’m going to delete the app...I hope other players realize how this Company games are scam... and one day all of them will uninstall them


The worst app ever

mzzoct13

I made an initial deposit of $10. And I was charged again double the amount. And amount that I did not authorize. I’ve sent several emails for them to return my money. They returned it after the first email and then a day later they took it again. Such a scam. Do not download this app. They will still your money.


WORST APP EVER!!!!!???

Alex Mosquera

They took $500 of my money on deposits and when I was about to withdraw my money they suspended my account for no reason. I have tried to reach them out but got not respond from them: please; don’t download this app. This is a big SCAM!


Don't trust them with your money

Won a $10 game and when I finished the game it said I never played the game and I was never awarded my winnings. Customer service wasn't much help either


Was fun until it wasn’t, was fair until it wasn’t

Games were good until they you see the same 5 people win all the tournaments on all games until there’s a person you’ve never seen who wins and you don’t see them in the tournament again. People who play free games somehow don’t participate in free for cash tournaments lets you know that there’s a scam afoot. Not to mention impossible scores being achieved by the top scorers using the same amount of time as free games but even there not seen as scores. There’s also the game replays where you see your timer winding down but the top scorers timer never moves. Where you probably should’ve placed but cheating and “algorithms” keep you out. It’s sad that the scamming is so obvious yet continues. The platform should just discontinue tournaments if it’s continually fair and shows biases to participants.
