This is a scam game. ### 1/5 — Scam!! *2025-08-30, version 1.8.0* Doesn’t pay out ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-29, version 1.8.0* It won’t let me cash out for $100 ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-08-27, version 1.8.0* I downloaded this game under false advertising!!! This game claimed to pay you as soon as you download it . I’m at $100 and nothing so I’m uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-27, version 1.8.0* Total scam spent days scratching off cards a total waste of time got to 100 dollars and money disappeared reset to 1 cent, no way to contact support. I was not allowed to pay out. When it states it is a legit game where you can cash out your money, which is definitely a LIE. Looking into a lawsuit for scamming, false advertising and fraud. ### 1/5 — Scam game *2025-08-26, version 1.8.0* The game make you watch endless ads and only pay out the scratchers worth .20 or .50, maybe $1 if you’re lucky. You will rank up well over $100 in winning and it will lead you on to where you can’t redeem it. Don’t waste your time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Payout *2026-02-02, version 1.8.0* Literally you’ll get the side offers of a few cents and never land on the option for $1000.00 but they’ll payout those small amounts but when you complete the build up to withdraw $100 or more they don’t payout! They just give you a never ending repeating loop of either scratch tickets, watch videos, etc and then: rinse, wash and repeat! You’ll never see your money! You email them to demand your payout and they don’t reply! It’s another damn scam game! These game creators need to be SUED for every single cent they have to their name and then thrown into prison where they belong and deserve to die behind bars! ### 1/5 — Never got payout *2026-01-18, version 1.8.0* Got to $100 and my money disappeared and it says I’m back down to nothing but I never asked for a cash out and I can’t find anywhere that says it was sent to me automatically or anything. ### 1/5 — Legit or fake *2025-10-14, version 1.8.0* I want to know will you payment me when I complete mission ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-10-13, version 1.8.0* I been using it for bout a month I reached 100 dollar cash out and did all the activity’s they don’t stop it keeps adding new tasks I keep doing the task and it’s endless doesn’t allow me to cash out ### 1/5 — Ad farm Profiting off your ad views *2025-09-28, version 1.8.0* Omg delete it and redownload it it’s a totally different game! No mention of any payout. They did do a bait and switch they have been gathering data on my device for a month and getting away with it by changing the app up and for some reason it was never auto updated like my other apps. They still have scratch cards and you get coins but if you win you still get 0 game coins you have to watch ads to get game coins they did add a beautifying area but you can’t do anything with it without watching ads. What is that? A game that doesn’t function without ads? That’s not cool man. I rarely report apps but I’m taking the time to do it for this one. The game isn’t even functional without watching ads. Stop rating it 5 stars just to be seen! You are driving their ratings up. It doesn’t matter what the words in the review says. This game is nothing like the description there’s only scratch arms no cleaning up and beautifying anything. There is no story I have no idea how this passed on the App Store. Everyone else is saying same thing about the payout but what is missing is that it stops giving the quick cash thing after so many payouts. You are forced to watch countless ads I didn’t even get to click the cash out button when it hit 100 it is just cycling through watch ads or scratch cards. This actually goes against a lot of ad network policies the Apple Store polices possible other policies. I read the terms of service and privacy policy. It’s a bunch of nothing. You don’t get anything for watching these ads but this company is profiting off of its ad farm. I’ve seen ads for this companies other games. I really wanted to give it 5 stars it was going to be featured in my report of actual games that do what it says. Thank god I kept on going so I’m not lying to people but thanks for the extra content on scammers. ### 1/5 — Payouts *2025-09-26, version 1.8.0* This game is a scam don’t waste your time. I played it off and on for a week. I reached the $100.00 limit tried to cash out and it kept adding more tasks. I did 4 extra tasks and I still was unable to cash out. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ### 1/5 — Surprised “MADE FROM UNITY” game a scam *2025-09-22, version 1.8.0* Installed and played for several days and when I a get to withdrawal threshold, the game re loops with many ads and scratch tasks but not even a cent hits PayPal. I will review comments if I get my credits. Mega time waster. ### 1/5 — Scam!! *2025-09-18, version 1.8.0* Don’t waste you time it takes forever to get to $100 then you just keep doing the same withdraw threshold over and over!! Making you keep watching videos and keep playing the game to rob your time and data just like all their unity’s game I’ll never down load another app from them again and if your smart you won’t either!! ### 1/5 — This game is not fair!! *2025-09-05, version 1.8.0* I played this game several times I made it to about 25,000 and I did not see one penny of the money. I meant it was fun doing that for a while, but you get stressed out when they show on the other people be winning cashing out money in such amount of amount and it’s not true they should fix it OK that should fix because this game is fake and fix so people is not worth it OK. If you want us to play this game fix it so we can win real cash money for real.. ### 1/5 — SCAM WHERE MY $100??? *2025-09-03, version 1.8.0* Where is my $100? I hit $102 and it reset my game to $0.00 listen I spend a lot of time watching ads and playing this game BRO I WILL HIT THIS APP UP EVERY DAY FOR 3 months and then take yall to court for more than $100 and I think all these users will have my back. Plz put my money in my account or reach out to me starting today SEPTEMBER 3rd 2025 until NOVEMBER 3rd, 2025 you have to pay my money!!! COURT TIME!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — How 2 win big! *2025-09-19, version 1.8.0* Step 1: download this app Step 2: get the 20 cent freebie deposited to your account Step 3: delete this garbage app and download something else cause that’s all you’re getting from them. ### 5/5 — Game *2025-09-18, version 1.8.0* Very exciting game ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-09-15, version 1.8.0* Rejuvenating ### 5/5 — Scratch story *2025-09-11, version 1.8.0* Interesting ### 5/5 — I only gave for comment *2025-09-08, version 1.8.0* Great game at the beginning, after you get to 80 dollars it starts with the 1 cent per play just like every other foreign game! I have not gotten anything above 1 cent for over 4 hours now been playing for longer since I reached 80 dollars with a 100 dollar cash out bonus than I did before the 80 dollars and no bonus cash or optional cash out. So i played til 100!cash out then it reset to zero! Don’t play this is a scam and you can’t get payout! That’s Hong Kong always a scammer these Asians show me the money! ### 5/5 — Wasted my time *2025-09-07, version 1.8.0* I made it to the $100 mark only for it to start over and nothing after that. No text or anything email. Just nothing. You owe me a 100 dollars. ### 5/5 — Locked my account *2025-09-06, version 1.8.0* The game did pay outs of $.20 $.30 and $.50 but eventually my bank my bank account was locked because of these simple transactions seemed fraudulent, even though it came from a legitimate game on the Apple Store once I recover my account I just decided to delete the game but overall it’s OK just be aware that your account has a high percentage of getting temporarily blocked or banned other than that, I would’ve still been playing the game to this day ### 5/5 — Scam game *2025-09-05, version 1.8.0* First you play and earn enough to cash out than it says your in line for payment, let you win 50 cents in the game so you keep playing than nothing. Been a couple weeks no payment. Scam game. Been months no payment ### 5/5 — Fake *2025-09-04, version 1.8.0* This game is fake. Cannot withdraw. ### 5/5 — False advertisement *2025-08-26, version 1.8.0* The most I’ve been able to call out and recover is no more than $1.70 a day. Unable to cash out on the $100. Keeps giving a run around. Game is boring. Don’t bother. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
