A cesspit of scammers

Do not get this app.
In the first 24 hours I was messaged by 10 different obvious scammers.
When I reached out to the gambling corporation responsible they banned each scammer from using the chat function for 1 day. What a joke.
The game itself works ok but the ads after every single play are irritating to the nth degree and absolutely relentless. The pure money grubbing greed is something else. It could have been something really good.

Excessive ads

This app is plastered with ads. Horrible user experience.

Too many adds

Don’t download this one, you have to watch a 1-2 minute add after every single turn. There are plenty others out there with less adds and it’s the same thing.

Awful support

Twice now I have purchased a package and both times the ability to get 30 coins a day was removed.
This means I cannot buy boosts to my team. When I messaged support, the first time my message was removed. Then I got a robot answer telling me they were ‘trialling’ things. This was the same response I got after it happened a year ago, but I found I could still get the coins videos in WWF classic.

Since buying the ad-free package, I now cannot get the coins videos in WWF classic either.

They claimed they’d credited me with 30 coins when they had not. I’d kept a record of my coins count.

I messaged back and my my conversation was closed with no response when I asked for either my coins videos back or a refund for the package I purchased.

I’m fed up. The ads are too numberoys and prohibitive. I only stay because of the friends I have in my team and I supported the team by buying boosts with my coins. Now I can’t even do that, so what IS the point?
I’ve been a loyal player, have a Wordle streak of way over 500 and this is what they do.

Do not spend money on this game is my advice! You get less than nothing back.
