Awful
I have been using skillz games for a number of years. Initially, I never had any real issues, but the last year has seen quite a shocking downturn.
Firstly, customer service is next to non existent. Any issue with support is auto replied by A I responses, or maybe an agent ticking a box, but ultimately, your not dealing with anyone that can help.
Secondly, if you tend to win at their games, which for me has been more so over the last year as I have improved my levels, then you tend to be accused of cheating. Be prepared to have your account blocked without warning, for up to a month while you are “investigated”. There will be no explanation, as the results will not be explained either. I hadn’t cheated, which was clear and obvious, however not being given the decency of innocent until proven guilty during this matter was insult to injury.
Following on from this, the withdrawal time went from hours and days to weeks. There is a time frame of 4-6 weeks, and during this time you are unable to deposit funds, so managing your account balance is key.
As I write this review I have a total around $900 waiting to be completed.
$300 of this has now gone to 8 weeks, and customer support will not respond to my support tickets. I am ignored. No explanation given to me, just 2 replies that my issues have been escalated to the withdrawal team.
Overall I feel I have been scammed out of legitimate winnings, and the general consensus of not caring about customers, more so ones that can actually compete in their games, is clear to see.

Good luck!
I recently had Skillz close my account due to concerns about their practices. I find it problematic that they criticize other apps and engage in legal actions against them while simultaneously manipulating their own platform by removing profitable players from events and higher entry fee options. They only include 1-2 valuable cards in events, which promotes gambling behavior, leading players to potentially lose significant amounts of money. Their event algorithms seem designed to encourage users to chase their losses, and I know individuals who have lost over $100,000 on this app. Despite this, they are not legally required to warn users about gambling addiction risks, which is troubling. MANY of my friends had to take out loans to pay off their debt from skillz games. This app negatively impacted my life, though I eventually managed to recover my losses after a year. When I finally did profit, they dangle your withdrawal like a carrot for weeks until you cave and cancel it. It is PREDATORY. I am now pleased to have found a more comfortable and less addictive environment elsewhere. It's disappointing to see the CEO of Skillz prioritizing self-interest over the well-being and fairness of its users. Excluding people is not a good look. Nobody cares that other platforms use bots. It's really not that serious. Hopefully skillz can get their situation situated, but by the time they do I will no longer care. Best of luck to you all.

Good games BUT
Lot of games and can all run through same account which is nice BUT. Heads up if you are thinking to play with real money… I made a deposit, played through till the bonus fully converted to cash, then I put in for a withdrawal. I got an email saying I would get my money in 4-6 weeks but I could always deposit more…. I went to deposit more and it doesn’t let me. Says I can’t deposit with a withdrawal pending. It’s been a week now and they still haven’t processed my withdrawal. When I try to take an offer it prompts me to cancel my withdrawal. They get money instantly- there’s no good reason to delay payout so much and refuse deposits the whole time. It makes no sense to me and if you don’t care about that, they are good games..
edit…they say reach out to support but when I do I get back the same form letter.. wait up to 6 weeks for a withdrawal. Meanwhile I am blocked from making a new deposit. It’s not a mistake, it’s their policy. 2 weeks now. I probably won’t deposit any more until they change their policies.

Great fun and lots of variety
Love this app and all the attached games to choose from whatever your mood or preference…..best part is you can actually win real money for cashing out or win prizes within various categories and tiers of points…..
Fraud
All skills games are fraud they have set games and once you over come them they add on to rules like dominoes I waiting hours for a tie breaker after they comp just played and tied and then I was left waiting so they say a tie breaker can go for up to 24 hours but before then ever time I left a match I never got notfifird when it was my turn to play in tournament so I got aborted out come right like this company needs to be sued just like earlier I was playing the novice passed I passed then went with out drawling anythjng so how is that possible but this game is rep off they will allow you to win just enough to lose and that’s all have anybody that plays actually won over the amount they have added if so please comment I’m just curious

Games are great
The ability to wager money and earn money is really nice when looking for something else to do.
A good improvement to the game would be to show how much you have wagered while you are playing the game. Sometimes I press the wrong one and I play so many games that I really just spam the begin match button and sometimes I misread the match fee so I take the game a little too casual in a pro match and end up losing. It typically happens when I want to try a practice match and end up selecting the highest wager. The player-base is very competitive so it is definitely necessary to practice a few matches before going on paid H2H matches.

The positives
So sad to read the other reviews as although they refer to the Skillz app they do not really reflect individual Skillz games, I have found Skillz games to be one of the fairest games I have played and I have played a few. I am in no way affiliated to Skillz, I just think that they are one of the best in a barrel of rubbish.
