Now you have to pay a monthly fee to enter any contest which is ridiculous. Extremely disappointed and will never use the app again ### 2/5 — Too many issues!! *2026-07-09, version 4.9.1236* I absolutely loved playing the games on the PCH app! As time went on however, it started having many issues with the server or system! It kept shutting down continuously & that’s annoying. So I don’t think I won’t to download it again. You guys have fun ok!! ### 1/5 — App Doesn‘t Work *2026-07-09, version 4.9.1236* The app has been ”down for maintenance“ for months. Plus you can‘t enter the giveaways online anymore unless you sign up for a paid monthly subscription or you buy something. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t worked in a long time. Says down for maintenance. *2026-07-06, version 4.9.1236* It was ok. Constant ads though. Now it always says down for maintenance. Even if you delete the app and try reinstalling it weeks later it says down for maintenance. Are they bankrupt??? ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-07-04, version 4.9.1236* Hasn’t worked for months. Every time I open the app it says it is down for maintenance. ### 1/5 — PCH is done for *2026-06-26, version 4.9.1236* I’ve been at the black diamond level for years and now PCH has sold out to a scam artist known for his casino apps. This turns PCH into yet another “pay to play” scam. Deleting the app and unsubscribing to all emails. Bad move PCH. ### 1/5 — Down for maintenance *2026-06-25, version 4.9.1236* It’s been down for months. Cant even log in. No update on when it might open. No update on if we will still have our points once reopened. No update on the contest they never finished and never selected a winner to before it closed down. Just no communication at all. ### 1/5 — Dead app *2026-06-24, version 4.9.1236* This app needs to be removed from the App Store. It is no longer functioning. ### 1/5 — I’m not paying… *2026-06-22, version 4.9.1236* I’ve been playing PCH before it went online, when I was in high school since 1971. I’ve been playing PCH, bought a few of their products, but they were so cheap from China. The products were broken before I received them. So I stopped buying, but I continue to play the PCH games, even though it was boring playing the same game over, over, and over again. I had VIP elite status that I’m sure I’ve lost. I re-downloaded the app recently and it still does not work and they want you to pay in order for it to work. No thank you. I believe that this is a scam like all the other ones that are from China, England and South Africa, Nigeria. You can play, but you will never win! I played for 55 years and I only won once $100 about a year ago. I was in shock…. I received a check from PCH. But I’m coming to the realization that the PCH that I knew is GONE. Well, it was fun while it lasted for over six decades, but the new money, wants more money and they will not share. So if you play and pay to play, you will not win. To Bad, So Sad 😎🏝️ ### 1/5 — Update *2026-06-18, version 4.9.1236* Ok guys. Just an update. The company that bought out PCH is ARB Interactive. The CEO is Patrick Fechtmeyer. They are headquartered in Miami FL and are all about online gaming. But for money. They will be merging PCH with their big money maker Modo Casino. They do supposedly give 30% of revenues to charity. Not sure what that will satisfy but my original post still stands. ### 1/5 — No Mas! *2026-06-13, version 4.9.1236* Since PCH decided to turn to pay-to-play, I have deleted their app. Not that the app was good anyway. All it did was make you play stupid games over and over to get tokens for entries for prizes you had little chance of ever winning. ### 1/5 — Pch *2026-06-10, version 4.9.1236* The app is still not working at all ### 1/5 — PCH Is Gone… *2026-06-10, version 4.9.1236* I think it’s time we face the music on this one. I’m a proud Black Diamond player for PCH, and it took me years to reach that top level. The new company that bought them is a scam operation. I was specifically told by email that the game was undergoing maintenance and would be running by the first week of May, and now no one is responding to me. All their apps are closed down for “maintenance” for over a month. It’s over, my friends, it’s time to let them go. Don’t buy a thing. Don’t mail a thing. Most importantly, don’t pay them for entries. Join me in walking away from this scam. ### 2/5 — App is not working *2026-06-06, version 4.9.1236* I’ve tried logging in and it keeps saying the app is down for maintenance. It’s been doing this this for more than a month. What is going on? ### 1/5 — Truth about new PCH *2026-06-04, version 4.9.1236* So I was reading that PCH has no intention of staying around long term. They are now having you pay to get entries. Now to be transparent, they do allow you to do mail in entries and they’re very strict on the entries, how you enter, the envelopes you use, the addresses the way they have to be. They have no intention of paying the big dollars like $1,000,000 because right in the official rules, it gives them the right to end the games as they see fit. So the reason they’re collecting money is they’re hoping to pay off some of the debt from the previous company that PCH was owned by. Since they won’t be able to sustain the losses, long-term, the article said that they were planning to let the number of people playing die down, and then they are going to close permanently, probably in the next two years. ### 1/5 — No more login *2026-06-02, version 4.9.1236* Why always maintenance? When will it be finished? ### 1/5 — Platinum VIP *2026-05-29, version 4.9.1236* I haven’t been able to get into PCH app for over 2months. I lost my status. I’ve been playing for almost 10 years. Please tell me what I can do. Thank you… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Game Performance *2026-08-30, version 4.9.1236* This game is offline at least 50% of the time. I try to log on daily, but it’s impossible. ### 1/5 — The App? *2026-08-25, version 4.9.1236* Every single time I try to get on the app it tells me it’s down for maintenance, I’ve deleted and redownloaded and still the same thing! ### 1/5 — What happened to PCH! *2026-08-22, version 4.9.1236* I’m deleting this app because it constantly gives a message that it’s down for maintenance. Really! I don’t think so anymore! What a shame. I have been playing since I was in high school, before PCH was online. I have ordered some things over the years but not thrilled with the quality of the products for the money I spent. I’m done! ### 1/5 — Game Lost *2026-08-18, version 4.9.1236* I’ve been playing publishing clearinghouse since my early 20s I am now 75 years old and haven’t been able to get on this site for over three months. So I have to delete the app. ### 1/5 — App done for good *2026-08-17, version 4.9.1236* Used to love playing the games on the app everyday hasn’t worked since April I’m assuming this app is done for good or what. ### 1/5 — Still can’t play on my iPhone XR *2026-08-17, version 4.9.1236* I check daily and still can’t play there has been several updates and it’s not working the green box at the top won’t go down to the game notifications are frozen I put it on my tablet and it has glitches but does play some I’m a vip elite with close to 2 billion tokens please fix it ### 1/5 — Always under maintenance *2026-08-12, version 4.9.1236* I used to play this a lot but for the past month or more it’s always down for maintenance whenever I try to play ### 1/5 — 👎🏻👎🏻 *2026-08-02, version 4.9.1236* “App down for maintenance” for 3 months now, it’s been a fun ride, ciao PCH ✌️ ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2026-08-02, version 4.9.1236* I have downloaded the app 10 times in the past 2 weeks and it constantly says the app is under maintenance. Nothing should take that long for maintenance, so I give up and y’all lost me. ### 1/5 — Not working *2026-08-01, version 4.9.1236* App is not working and keeps saying it’s under maintenance and will be back up soon. Yet, it’s been like this since April. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Not working *2026-06-02, version 4.9.1236* I haven’t been about to open the app for about a month ### 5/5 — Shanghai Dragon matching games *2026-06-02, version 4.9.1236* Needs play is game? Cannot find it? ### 5/5 — Not ready for prime time *2026-05-16, version 4.9.1236* Been under maintenance for about two weeks. ### 5/5 — PCH + *2026-04-10, version 4.9.1236* I could not get in the game they freeze on me ! It need to fix this ! Thank you ### 5/5 — Fun, but not the ads *2026-04-07, version 4.9.1236* For the most part, I enjoy the games and getting tokens as well as entries. I don’t enjoy doing surveys as much unless they are 10 minutes or less on the main site. Maybe let people do multiple surveys for extra tokens if they want. Also, let people watch ads if they want extra entries, if not let them go to the next game without watching ads. Maybe consider having shorter surveys because who has the time for that. ### 5/5 — Tbryson52 *2026-04-03, version 4.9.1236* I have enjoyed playing the games and I have a chance to win a billion coins. Once i get to one billion coins I fully intend to use a lot of coins to try and win big prizes. And now that i’ve got over a billion I play the games out of fun (I’m not very good) and maybe someday……….. ### 5/5 — Last May I won *2026-03-30, version 4.9.1236* Last May I won $10,000 on my birthday my husband had just had a stroke and the win came at a time in my life where I needed cash I did not get to spend it on anything fun but it took the pressure off me at a time in my life where it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel I paid medical bills and repairs to our roof so it paid for relief. I still play you never know if lightning strikes twice I will be 70 years and old this year and disabled and taking care of my husband I want to thank PCH for relief ### 5/5 — PCH OFFICIAL IS THE BEST!!! *2026-03-26, version 4.9.1236* This app has so many games to play, that are fun.
