It’s a way to keep you self and you mind busy ### 5/5 — I NEVER write reviews but... *2022-10-11, version 1.4.220902* I have gone through so many games that claim to give you money and this is the FIRST one that actually payed out. It pays out in gift cards sent to your email, so you don't need to give any personal information. Plus, you get to decide what type of gift card you get which is also really nice. I'VE LITERALLY ALREADY WON LIKE 20 BUCKS AND HAVENT EVEN HAD THIS GAME FOR A WEEK GET IT ITS LEGIT. Props to this game and its devs 👏 ### 5/5 — My Favorite Real Money Game *2022-09-24, version 1.4.220902* I have so much fun playing poker and blackjack in this game, and I’ve already started winning gift cards. This game is totally legit and a total blast! ### 5/5 — The game is broken *2022-09-16, version 1.4.220902* It’s always the same prize “ awaits you “ ? ### 5/5 — Legit *2022-09-15, version 1.4.220902* You do win cash daily usually a small amount of change up to a few dollars just from playing. There’s also daily stacks that you enter tickets with that can win you change or larger amounts of cash. I saved up to $50 before claiming a gift card and i selected it for walmart. Worked perfectly by just scanning the barcode. Recommend if you enjoy playing cards while making money. Maybe in future updates they will add different cards games but for now it works! ### 4/5 — Top Notch! *2022-09-09, version 1.4.220902* Of all the games i’ve played and can get gift cards for, this is my favorite! By far! And awesome support! However i only gave it one star because i can’t cash out with paypal or a Visa gift card. However i do love Starbucks! After downloading this game and playing it for not even 2 weeks, i was able to get a $25 gift card to Starbucks and i love Starbucks! If Reel Stakes Casino ever starts to offer a Visa gift card as a reward or option to put on Paypal, (or even just something as simple as a gas card because that is a necessity), I will update my review to 4 stars! My favorite game is Blackjack :) ### 5/5 — Cool honest and paid out very fast *2022-08-17, version 1.4.220613* They are honest and fast with their payment plus the app is cool looking and fun more gaming companies could learn from them tytyty ### 4/5 — Game crashes *2022-08-01, version 1.4.220613* I’ve been playing this for about 2 weeks, already won like 3 gift cards, but now I can’t even play because my game keeps crashing and runs very slow, even on my fast internet. Help? ### 5/5 — Love this game so far 🥰😁💯 *2022-06-29, version 1.4.220613* What kind of gift cards we could win? Can we get PayPal too? And if not is there a possibility you can add that too? 🙂 ### 4/5 — Update *2022-06-23, version 1.4.220613* UPDATE: the bug of my entries vanishing hasn’t happened since, but I am leaving it here in case it could reoccur so it could be nipped in the bud. Since I updated, no entries are being saved in sweepstakes nor the slots bar. I have entered about 80 and they keep vanishing, even when I don’t close the app. I just go back to playing, go to enter more tickets and they’re gone. Now onto other stuff From previously. There is a strange bug at times where, when you fail the first hand when you get a bonus card and it offered an ad to claim it, the ad never loaded. I offset this by tapping “watch ad” on an individual sweepstakes first thing, it wouldn’t load, but when I went back anyway and got a bonus card to watch an ad for it worked. Another thing is the wording for the cash out; it says $25 minimum but there is a $5 there. If anything I hope the text is incorrect and the 5 will always be an option. I think low cash outs are important to have in apps like this, especially since most wins are pretty small to add up to something. Also would it be possible to add an in between with 5-25? Like 10? ### 4/5 — So far so good *2022-05-24, version 1.4.210417* So far so good haven’t made enough to cash out yet and not a lot of cash money opportunities but a fun game and hopefully eventually I’ll get enough to cash out. Reguardless fun game if u like jacks or higher or blackjack games. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Use to be fun *2023-02-04, version 1.4.221123* Loved this game when first started, now you will spend all day trying to get entries for the nightly drawing. You can still win cash playing the games but at mostly .02 it takes quite awhile to earn anything. Maybe the game will go back to allowing you to get entries ### 1/5 — Stuck on Big Shot Reveal screen *2023-02-01, version 1.4.221123* I cannot get past the screen to play. It counts down but doesn’t get any farther. It just hangs there. ### 1/5 — Money *2022-12-10, version 1.4.221123* Just because I don’t update my money is taken ### 1/5 — It's not what it used to be... *2022-11-04, version 1.4.221019* Update: Do not purchase their ad-free time packages!! They do not get rid of ads!! I spent $2.99 for 3 days ad-free and still have ads coming up for everything. I contacted customer service and asked for a refund and they responded with “Hi, sorry that there is an issue. Let me take a look”. It has been over a week now and they haven’t refunded my money or gotten back to me!! I've had this app for quite awhile now, and about a year ago I would have easily given it 5 stars. Currently I feel it deserves about 2 stars because I don't think the chances to win are fair- I feel that either the drawings aren't random or people are cheating. To explain, every drawing has about 1-3 prizes in actual dollar amounts (ranging around $2-$50) and a bunch more for around a quarter. Well, you don't have to scan through past contest winners for long to see the same handful of names winning the valuable prizes WAY more than anyone else. To make matters even worse, the maximum number of entries a player could submit per drawing used to be 25- now it's from 60 to 175! Thus, it now takes MUCH more time to earn the maximum amount of entries! Don't get me wrong, if you put the time in I'm sure you will eventually earn a gift card... ...I just wish I saw more of an equal opportunity between people who can earn their gift card all from 1 prize and people who have to earn their gift card from many, MANY 5¢ prizes. ### 1/5 — Can’t even play , keeps crashing *2022-07-23, version 1.4.220613* It won’t even load a loading screen I click on the app on my home screen (IOS IPHONE6) and then half a second (and yes, really I mean half a second or even less in all honesty) it goes back to my home screen. I close it out and try again. Same thing over and over. Would love to actually get to play and be able to give a better score but for now hopefully this big gets fixed so I can try it out before I get annoyed fully and end up deleting it. Please fix if possible! ### 1/5 — Used to be GREAT *2021-12-01, version 1.3.211015* anyone who says this game is great doesn’t know how it was before they updated and now want you to spend money to win. This game used to be so good I would win gift cards 3-4 times a week or more!! It was great. Now like all these new games that get established, they do an update and spoil it with their greed. It’s so much harder to win and it doesn’t work properly either. I spin the wheel win entries and they don’t show up. It’s zero. Customer support stinks too. A lot of these reviews are probably plants. If you love winning 1 gift card try I used to get 5 or more!! Much harder ### 3/5 — Fun game, but… *2022-07-07, version 1.4.220613* Sorry for three stars, but… This is a really fun game. When I first downloaded it, I was winning small amounts of cash, but lately all I’ve been winning are tickets which I enter drawings but don’t get anything to speak of (1000 coins and more tickets). ### 3/5 — Ugh *2022-05-13, version 1.4.210417* This app I use to love it gave me a cpl gift cards was so thrilled now I only get 5cent money and it’s so boring now ### 4/5 — First review *2023-01-08, version 1.4.221123* This game is fun to play, not too many ads and you don’t have to put up real money to play(optional) it’s like my 2nd or 3rd time playing and I’ve already won $3 so I’ll write another review when I have enough to cash out ### 4/5 — Needs fixed *2022-11-22, version 1.4.221019* I love This game but it’s Annoying that we have to click watch ad twice before we get to! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super Fun & Real Money Winnings *2023-02-28, version 1.4.230227* I’ve been playing this game less than a month and have won around $50!! I absolutely love it and highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Interesting and fun game! *2023-02-10, version 1.4.221123* This game is for sure different then most ( of course in a good way!) I had this game downloaded on a previous phone and I’m guessing I forgot about it as it got buried in with other apps and was never downloaded onto my other phone until this last week and I’m glad I found it again! There’s tons of fun easy games like blackjack and poker! There’s also tons of fun mini games that are always changing and forever challenging your skills :) Only downfall is that I’ve gone to bed very late every night this week… why? Because I can’t stop playing :) I haven’t accumulated to much money yet just a little under $3 but I got $1 already today which makes me think as I get better and go up to boost my total scores the chances to score some cash will become more frequent. I do have a feiend who turned me on to this app and they 100% have been paid two times since downloading the app so on behalf of my buddy I can assure everyone it may take some time and you may have to really get good at your speed in some games but it’s legit and it’s very easy to grasp and fun! ### 5/5 — I’m in love *2023-01-29, version 1.4.221123* I love this game. It’s so much fun. I love that you can use your winnings to get more chips and you get the chance the win cash daily. ### 5/5 — Great *2023-01-17, version 1.4.221123* Love playing this game ### 5/5 — Great and works *2023-01-07, version 1.4.221123* Best app ever. They don’t scam you and it’s fun and easy. ### 5/5 — Greatness *2022-12-18, version 1.4.221123* Really fun game great real Money prizes can win if you don’t play so let’s play some poker ### 5/5 — Its Definitely Real and Legit *2022-12-09, version 1.4.221123* I won 14+$ It’s very fun to enter raffles and the live giveaways! If you see my name look for Pats hopefully you win as well more players more prizes! Definitely check it out!! ### 5/5 — Best Game Ever!!! *2022-12-05, version 1.4.221123* This game is awesome. It’s easy to handle and figure out and you win all the time.!!!! Not to mention, you can use your money that youve won, to pay for things in the game instead of having to use your own money!!! They seriously made a Legit Game !!!! Download NOW!!! ### 5/5 — Fun and can be free *2022-10-29, version 1.4.221019* I’ve enjoyed playing daily and have won money without paying in. I bet I could earn more paying in but it’s not necessary. ### 5/5 — It’s legit *2022-10-25, version 1.4.221019* My Husband just won a Starbucks giftcard for me. So I am going to play now too. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
