I created a new account on ******************** after obtaining written permission from their support team.

I simply used my experience to play legitimately and earned a balance of $500 USD, which included a $50 personal *********** my account is permanently blocked, and my funds are being withheld. I reached out to Skillz through multiple emails, asking for a reason, evidence, or at least a refund, but they have not responded.I believe this is not only unfair but also a breach of consumer trust, especially when I acted with full transparency and followed the rules.

    My account name is pubgpro on Skillz. I have been with Skillz for over 5 years. I am a winning player who has mastered the games of Candy Prize and also Blackout Bingo.A couple of weeks ago I managed to win a $1500 (2nd) place prize in one of the bingo events. After doing that (now that I had money), I decided to play multiple $120 entry games and another tournament win of around $600. After everything was played I had a solid win rate of about 80% beating the rake. This netted me $3300 of which I withdrew $800 and $2400 seperately. Today would have been the 14 day **** from my 1st withdrawal of $800. Skillz sent me this email:Hello, Your actions are in serious violation of our TOS, section 7.3, which explicitly states "7.3. Cheating, Fraud, and Abuse. In accessing or participating in Services or using the Software, you represent and warrant to us that you will not engage in any activity that interrupts or attempts to interrupt the operation of the Services or Software. ***etc...Your actions jeopardized the integrity of our system and put many honest players at risk. You are not permitted to use the Skillz system again. Please take this as notice that Skillz reserves all legal rights to pursue violations of our service including prosecuting offenders to the fullest extent of the law.*****, ************** My $130 in my account, my $800 withdrawal, and my $2400 withdrawal are all gone and now into Skillz pockets. I plan on taking legal action if this is not resolved. I am planning on calling my bank to reverse the transactions I used on my card to deposit well over $500 at one point (which I never got back since this ban)***If you are reading this, I highly suggest not playing on Skillz since they have no issue taking your money when you are a winning player.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    This is false claim that I have cheated. I played every single game legitimately and Skillz is deciding not pay out my winnings. I was never in violation of the Terms of Service. 

    Where is the supporting evidence? I plan on taking this to court and you will be sued if you do not pay.

    I have recent transactions on my debit cards of around $400. Skillz stole my winnings AND my most recent deposits.

    Hello BBB (Better Business Bureau Service), I am **** **. I am reaching out to seek your assistance in resolving a dispute with Skillz Games. My account was recently terminated, citing fraud, cheating, and abuse as the reason. However, I was a previous player a few years ago and closed an old account at that time for personal reasons. I created a new account last year for recreational purposes while traveling internationally. I have provided evidence, including photos of my boarding tickets, to support my claim. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in contacting Skillz and resolving this issue. I hope that they will reconsider their decision and reinstate my account. Thank you for your time and support.Sincerely,**** **

    This is **** **. I tried to withdraw the money of the amount of $102.14 last few days ago. The Skillz game company closed my game account with some reasons like I cheated and opened more than one account. Its not true. Last year on September I went to ******* to visiting my parents for few weeks. While I stayed in ******* I opened the account for killing time and for fun. I already provided you all my information to proof that Im the only person and the real one who had this account with the ********************. I deposited $10 to the account I played, if I lost the money, can I withdraw anything? Will you close my account? I went back to the *** and continued to play until last week then I decided to withdraw some money from my account. Your company completely closed my account with your own reasons. Whatsoever you didnt reply my email when I explained the reasons. My son stayed in the *** to play on his own account while I was in *******. I open my own account to play in *******. On the advertisement your company said prefer friends and family play together. Then, why you said we had multiple accounts? Now, Im asking you, the Skillz to reopen my account and pay me the amount I won when I played. Im seeking for your truely answers. Thank you.

    Skillz promote that it can take up to 6 weeks for players to get payment process. They canceling players withdrawal after 6 weeks with no explanation, when i reach out to them they keep ignoring my messages. When they answer never give an explanation nor reason why just keep repeating they escalating it. I been told that multiple time in the past they holding my money hostage. Also they cheat and punish players that complain a lot about their abuse

    Hello KERNEST, 


    Any withdrawals up to the amount of your total deposits will be processed using the same form of payment as your deposit, either your ****** account or credit card, in order of oldest to most recent. We are unable to refund to a specific deposit method. Winnings exceeding your total deposit amount will be sent via paper check if youre in the **, or ****** account if you are playing from another country.


    Most withdrawals are processed within about 10 business days. However, for security reasons, it can sometimes take up to 6 weeks for a withdrawal to arrive.
    Please also note, there is a $1.50 charge for any withdrawals under $10. Bonus cash cannot be withdrawn, and is forfeited when you make a withdrawal. For every $1.00 that you pay in entry fees, $0.10 of bonus cash will be used for entry. So if you play a match with a $3.00 entry fee, $2.70 will be real cash, and $0.30 will be bonus cash.


    If you have a question about a specific withdrawal we would need you to provide more information. 


    Please review our terms of service: *********************************************.

    The business provides apps that are in the form of play to win games, they have a series of apps and the one I was on was called solitaire cube.I was playing normally, without using any third party software or anything, after all I was only there to enjoy the game.After getting some free money tokens on the app (amount was 2$ almost, I don't remember well) I started playing the pro games that required money.I climbed up to money tokens up to 10$, on the second day of being in the app, I couldn't log in, I thought the app was down or ************ the afternoon I access my Gmail so I can check if there's a notification about the app or something, just so I can be met an email telling me that my account is banned because of cheating, mind you, If I were, I wouldn't have bothered reaching them out twice, complaining that this was a mistake and I have been unfairly terminated, I had no response from them at all, no clarification, no proof that I have used cheating software. Bad experience.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    there has been no clarification or disclosure about the reasons to be accused of cheating despite clearly stating I have not, I do not know how one can cheat on this game and I certainly know that I have played fairly.

    I demand more details of what would be my ways of cheating if you guys 'caught' me (this being a word to address the wrongful accusations), like the software name, or screenshots etc, like many other companies do provide (I know this because I have read at times cheaters getting caught, and they're often provided with proof rather than having sent a copy paste email with vague wording and unfair policies)

    Being wrongfully accused of cheating for simply winning and enjoying the game has to be a total opposite of what a game company should do to it's consumers.

    All in all, if you really think I'm cheating, what's your proof? And don't hit me with 'our team made efforts to determine this behavior is fraudulent, and we don't have to disclose anything', because it only means that you're wrong and you know it and you have nothing to back your accusations up.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    THIS CASE IS NEITHER REVIEWED OR SOLVED!!!! I'M SICK OF YOUR COPY PASTES AND ROBOTIC RESPONSES! this little ping pong that we are playing is very harmful to your business.

    All I hear is vague words and a link that mindlessly leads to your legal page, which I do not have any use of, I have requested evidence to back your accusations, which seems that you don't have, if you really 'have it saved in the database' you would've been able to be clear about it, and provide EVIDENCE. I do not understand why are you all so shady, and all you do is accuse me of cheating when I CLEARLY DIDN'T.

    all I see in your business model is to let people win, then block them and accuse them of cheating.

    And If I didn't contact you through BBB, you wouldn't have responded at all, because y'all are scared your ratings would go down in here.

    I still demand clear proof of the accusation, simply accusing me of cheating, when I didn't cheat, when I didn't use third party software, when I was only playing for my own enjoyment, is stupid. If you want to tag this case solved, provide proof, be fair about it, you have no right to hide this proof from me, because it concerns me and actions taken against me, be fair, unless you want to be shady then we can be shady together.

    SKILLZ flat out says 4 to 6 weeks. I withdrew a 85$. I withdrew on 11$ on April 12, 2024 as a test through direct deposit and never received it. Ironic that they did not and currently do not allow direct deposit ONLY CHECK for my last and final withdrawal on JANUARY 6th 2025. I have not received any of these payments. This is starting to feel like a waste of lucrative hope and time. The website says 4-6 weeks or longer do too unforseen postal issues. This company is mailing a check.....simple as that. Would love to know the reason why I am waiting on small money.

    All I did was download the app and then deleted it and the company took $10 when there was nothing stating that would be done. If they had been on the up and up stating, if you download this app you will automatically be charged $10, I would never have downloaded it. I didnt even create an account let alone play the game. I have now figured out that all of these apps for games that supposedly pay you money to play ARE ALL SCAMS. Now that I know that, this wont happen again. All Im seeking is a refund of my $10 that they took. Period. Ive emailed them 5 times and they just ignore me. I called the number they give for customer service and was on hold for an hour. Everything about this company is rigged to rip off people. I JUST WANT MY MONEY BACK. Please help me to get this done.

    Hello, 

    Thanks for reaching out! We'd be glad to assist with your account request, but we were unable to locate a Skillz account using your name or the email address you used to write in to us. Can you please reply back with your Skillz username, or the email address associated with your Skillz account, so we can better assist you? You can find your username in the upper left corner of any Skillz game.

    Alternatively, if there's anything else we can do to assist you instead, please let us know!

    Please share a email , ticket, or username to help us find the account. 

    We look forward to your reply.
