Scam

This is genuinely the first gambling app that I’ve used where they refuse to pay your winnings. I’ve been waiting over 3 weeks for a £40 withdrawal to which they say my bank rejected. My bank certainly hasn’t rejected any deposits though conveniently. They said the money has been put back in my account. It hasn’t and even if it had that’s them trying to make people lose their winnings by annoying someone and then not letting them withdraw their winnings. We all know when someone is annoyed they will get lower scores and make work decisions etc.

They have a system where you are matched against mostly bot accounts of a slightly higher skill level than your average score. Giving Avia games multiple accounts in each tournament to try and win your money so not only are they taking a cut a %20 cut from each games prize pool but their also trying to win their own tournaments.

I’ve lost count of how many apparently old women I've lost to that are apparently called Bryce. My guess is that they use photos of older women because they are the least likely to use this app and see their own photo being used by avia bot accounts. They are currently in a lawsuit for it. Its manipulated gambling

Scam

This is genuinely the first gambling app that I’ve used where they refuse to pay your winnings. I’ve been waiting over 2 weeks for a £51 withdrawal and 10 days for another £40 withdrawal. Initially they will pay your winnings in refunds to avoid taxes. As soon as you pass that point where you are taking out more than you’ve deposited they refuse to pay your winnings.

They have a system where you are matched against mostly bots accounts of a slightly higher skill level than your average score. Giving Avia games multiple accounts in each tournament to try and win your money so not only are they taking a cut a %20 cut from each games prize pool but their also trying to win their own tournaments. I’ve got multiple screenshots of the same photos of real elderly women on different people with different names. Some are called Bryce some have other male names so there’s no way these accounts are real despite them using photos of real women.

My guess is that they use photos of older women because they are the least likely to use this app and see their own photo being used by other accounts.

I’m giving avia till Monday to pay my withdrawals before I take legal action. I only still have the app to talk to “support” at this point who lie in every response that there aren’t bots in this game. There are and they have had to pay a $40,000,000 million lawsuit for doing so

Withdrawal issues

Was enjoying it until the withdrawals of my winnings started taking longer and longer to come through. They say 72 hours and 7 days later I am still waiting for my winnings and there does not seem to a complaints procedure or anyone who can actually help. Definitely puts me off investing in the game and playing seen as they can take money immediately to play but can't return your money at a reasonable rate.

Do a charge back and get your money back from this low life scammers!

If you have been stupid to deposit money by now I’m sure you wish you never did ! First off you will play over 100 times of meaningless games if you are wise enough not to deposit money ! And if you finally play after winning £1 pound after playing over 100 times. The minute you play with the £1 earned after 12 hours of play. You will never go pass 3 pound and if you do you must have spent over 5 days playing consecutively. Please if you manage to win anything cash out delete and run, run for your sanity !!!

Don’t expect to make any money from this game

Dont expect to make money from this game as they will always mark any won cash as bonus cash. The game is a actually quiet addictive but I think you are continuously playing robots unless your playing for bonus cash.

Scam

Its been proven that Avia games use bot accounts to win their tournament. They were recently sued for close to 40 million so for them to still be doing it is scandalous. They make enough money from taking a cut out of every game. They don’t need to make it that the customer has no chance of winning as well. There is not a person on the planet who has won money from this game. The better you get the better the bot scores get.

Start taking screenshots of the winners of all of your games. You’ll start to see photos of the same old lady winning each game with different account names then you should be able to use that to sue Avia Games and get your money back

Good fun

Pretty cool game. Not difficult to pick up and you can win a few games and maybe some cash. Currently have a withdrawal pending so fingers crossed that goes though ok. Read the small print in the privacy policy. Yes you do lose bonus cash if you withdraw and yes sometimes you will play non-humans but the developers do not hide this. Generally good fun and quite addictive.

the jackpots are too small

You pay more a lot in than compared to the payout. I love playing the game but the winnings, the jackpots are too small for what you pay for the games.
And the pop ups try to persuade you pay more in are annoying as they are not good deals.

Do not recommend

Upon initially downloading the application, I was optimistic about its potential as a source of supplementary income. The app's integration with modern banking systems is seamless, facilitating easy transactions. However, several concerns emerged during my usage: 1. Scoring Discrepancies: I observed the frequent appearance of seemingly generated usernames surpassing my scores, often relegating me to non-winning positions. 2. Investment vs. Return: Despite investing over $200 and participating in various bet pools, my winnings have been minimal. 3. Gameplay Experience: While the core gameplay is engaging, the monetization aspect significantly impacts the overall user experience. 4. Technical Issues: After securing a $100 first-place prize in a $20 entry contest, I encountered persistent app crashes, impeding my ability to claim the winnings. In conclusion, while the app offers an entertaining experience as a casual game, its practices regarding user rankings and prize distribution raise questions about fairness and transparency. I recommend potential users approach this app with caution, particularly when considering financial investment.
