All the good reviews are clearly paid fake reviews, Skillz is a complete scam and an unprofessional company. And I don’t know how Apple is accepting such app to be on their app store, because of them I never trust Apple anymore because their apps must’ve been the most secure and the most reviewed but actually Skillz make money from people's deposits. and they steal them by trying to find any way to not pay you and close your account. I've been a very good gamer in 2 of their games and I could make over $1000, they just blocked my account 4 times without any warning, and they took all the money that were made. After I emailed them, they opened my account but all my winnings were gone, you keep emailing them and they copy and paste the same email by saying "Any winnings from the violation of our Terms of Service are forfeit and cannot be added back to your account.". Let's say I violated their terms (which I didn't), but let's say I did it, they took all the money from my account, why they don't pay it back to the opponents that lost against me? why they keep the money for themselves? Because it's complete scam and stealing, that's the way they make profit, kind of "The Wolf of Wallstreet 2". They claim that they are a "fair" company and do marketing for their "fairness" but they don't care about anything other than stealing accounts. Be aware and never play or invest any penny in any Skillz game, I will do my best to share awareness about them everywhere because they really threw all my hard work and money away. they made me panic attacks. they blocked my account 4 times:1 - first time they didn’t specify any reason and they gave it back after I emailed them2 - second time they claimed that I have 2 accounts but actually I bought a used phone that had the game on it before. they don’t bother themselves to ask me if this is the case or they don’t send any warning, they just block immediately. And the funny thing is that they blocked my account which had over $300 and kept the account of the phone seller that I called him and approved that didn’t have any funds in it, actually it was inactive. Which is clearly stealing, they chose to block the account that has money inside to take the money, and when you ask them to do the opposite, they say “don’t worry, we’re sure you’re gonna make these achievements again”. they don’t care about any hard work you make, they don’t care about customer retention or their own reputation, they just steal you clearly. 3 - Third time they blocked my account by claiming that I’ve been intentionally poor playing to falsely influence their algorithm to play with opponents with lower scores to win them, and again they don’t send any warning they just block the account by saying “Please note that any winnings earned violating the Terms of Service may be forfeit.” So they take all the money that was in my account in this way (I had $950 in this account). Although I didn’t violate any terms, I just let my sister to try to play and she had low scores, nothing was intentional and nothing was cheating. Not a single company does such action without at least a warning or an explanation to their terms4 - Last time they blocked my account by saying “Your account has been temporarily suspended due to allowing another player access to your account or getting access to another player’s account.” and the reason of that is that they used what I told them in my last email (that my sister was playing on my phone) and blocked my account for this reason, as an new excuse to steal my money again. And they took $175 that were in the account including the bonus that I won from the leaderboard. in summary it took me so much time to discover how skillz are professional thieves and an unprofessional business scheme, don’t ever put any penny in this game and be careful of the scheme. I never could withdraw a single penny from skillz, I kept trying to see if I’ll receive something but every single time I make profit to try to withdraw it, they just steal them and threaten to block the account permanently, but they don’t they block it temporarily to steal you and then re-enable it after you confirm their terms. They will just find a way to steal you, any small detail that can be used against you even if you didn’t violate any terms. I’ll submit a report to Apple about all these things so they remove their apps from the app store. They should shut them down.
