Solitaire Cube Reviews

I thought this was a good game at first, being able to compete against other people for cash. However, after depositing a ton into this and spending a lot of my time and actually winning, I got an email stating that I violated their 'terms' which results in forfeiting of my winnings. I tried to call them, was promised I would get a return call by a supervisor -- never did. I emailed them, took over 24hrs for a reply with the same crap over and over again. My sister and I both play this game, we have similar names and they thought we were the same person so accused us of having multiple accounts. I emailed them to try and resolve but it seems like there's no one that actually cares. After trying so many times, I gave up and decided to create a new account. I tried to play but it shows pending for players, I contacted support and they said it could be due to a system error and was told to wait 7 days for a refund. I waited couple days and tried logging on, they blocked my account again because I apparently 'violated' the terms which is ridiculous. It seems like these guys are OK if you lose and deposit but once you start to win, they'll find an excuse to block your account to forfeit your winnings.

I can’t help but think all the positive reviews for this game are either paid for or written by the developers themselves. Here is my biggest hang-up: the betting feature is a complete scam. And I’ll tell you why...

Say I go to Vegas and play a card game. Let’s say I bet $1 on a hand and I win. I would effectively get $2 back (the $1 that I bet initially, plus the $1 the house owes me for winning). Pretty simple concept, right? Ok, so in this game, I can bet $0.25 to enter a match. If I lose that match I (obviously) lose the whole $0.25 which is fair. BUT, if I win the match, I get back only $0.42. If I put up a $0.25 bet my return for winning should be $0.50 (the $0.25 I put in plus the $0.25 the house owes me). So I basically get cheated (scammed) out of $0.08 every time I play.

Now obviously we’re not talking about a lot of money here, but why would I want to play a game where I essentially am risking more than there is to win? I highly recommend avoiding this game and any other app that Skillz puts out as I assume they are all rigged the same way. I’m no lawyer but I’d honestly like to research if this type of gambling is even legal. Doesn’t seem like it should be.

This game is rigged to high hell. I would have low win streaks and then all of a sudden there was no match to be found and got the “awaiting opponent” nonsense or even worse, the game started crashing all of a sudden and soon I had racked up quite a few “aborted” games. There was one game where there was a replay and everything, I had clearly won! Thank God I never actually deposited any money, some of these hands are complete garbage and I can only play ONE card. Seriously, ONE card. And my “opponent” cough bot, who thinks of these really weird usernames, they all start with Gov or Mgr. SNORT! But back to the “awaiting opponent” matches, *of course* those games were losses. The lack of replays on ALL games are very suspicious and all of these different ways combined are how they get any “free money” they give you back. They’re not even clever about stealing back their fake money. Maybe if you make an actual deposit you have better odds, but I wouldn’t count on it. I stopped bothering to message support about all these so-called aborted games after the first few. Uninstalling, you cannot have a gambling app that is so poorly implemented that these issues exist in the first place.

I enjoyed playing this game for a few weeks while I was playing the practice rounds that only cost the in game money. After getting pretty good at solitaire I put 10 dollars in my account and started playing for money tournaments and head to head games, and after playing for weeks it’s obvious the game is cheating. No matter what you get most of the times your opponent will get a few hundred points higher(which isn’t much). Even in games when there’s nowhere to go and no cards to put down the opponent will always get just a bit higher. Also the prices to play money matches are unfair. If you bet 3 bucks you can only win 5. You never can double your money so the game will have you lose 8 times in a row and then you win 1 and barely get any money back. It’s messed up! Plus the way they score you is just plain retarded. It makes no sense! I won’t go into detail on this one but trust me, I’ve been constantly trying to figure it out and I looked it up but I come up empty handed eveytime. If your gonna download this game I suggest only playing the practice games and NEVER PUT MONEY IN AT ALL!!!! I’ve read some other reviews which I suggest you do to. And we all share very similar ideas about the game.

I loaded $15 dollar to this game and lost every dime. It just so happens the game ha a replay feature where you can watch you game and your opponent in a side by side view and my last game played I could only get 20 points because there were no other moves I could do so when I was done the other player was still going and I was wondering how but when the game finally ended it showed the other persons points was over 1000 so naturally I went to the replay to see how the heck they got that many points from such a bad spread and their cards was totally different from mine and so before I contacted the game I watched. Few more of my games ones that I won and lost and both sets of cards were always the same except some games the feature to watch the replay is not available so that leads me to wonder if they cheated me entirely out of my $15. This game is not worth it it seems like the developers are the only ones that are winning. To play to win $1 you have to pay them $0.60 so really you are just playing for $0.40. Then when you are playing sometimes you don’t have an opponent so they match someone to you later in which they probably change the cards in some cases because you may win 2 games then you lose 4 it’s like a pattern of winning and losing so when it is all said and done you walk away with no money to cash out.

This game is such a rip off. I enjoy playing this game when I’m not matched with people that are clearly better than I am. The whole point of this game is to play for money, but who wants to deposit money and lose it all in a matter of minutes? Depending on the time of day, I’ll have a hot streak of 4 - 5 wins in a row. Then all of a sudden, I’m matched with one person consecutively for the next 4-5 matches and lose all of my money. It never fails. When I deposit money, naturally they let me win the first match to get me to play another. When I do, I lose 90% of the time. I have never actually been able to cash any money out. They say they use some sort of algorithmic formula, and it’s based on skillset of two people. If I’m beat by someone 3 times in a row, what would tell anyone that we match in skillset?

Also, I reviewed a replay of a match that I lost for some odd reason. My opponent in this match clearly finished with about a minute and forty-six seconds left on the clock, and I finished with 2+ minutes on the clock. Both my opponent and myself finished with the same remaining cards on the board and the same cards in their home position. With that being said, I contacted the support through SolitaireCube and waited more than 24 hours for a response and when I received my response it was nothing short of a vague almost rhetorical answer.

So I finally decided to download the game to see what all the hype was about. I played a few practice games and I seemed to always win weather it was playing against a computer or a human. After playing for several practice games I decided to deposit money into the account. I found it strange that once I started playing cash games, I was only facing robots with odd player names and I went from always winning to always losing when I was playing the $50,$20 and $10. The only time I won was once with the $1 game. I came close to winning in the other games by a way of a tie and then the tie breaker I conveniently was only able to score around 200 points and the robot or human with an odd user name scored over 2,000 making me lose the match. I have even entered tournaments and lost every one except for when I had $3-$5 left. As soon as I made my deposits. I would lose on every match. I am not new to online cash games, and I know when a site is rigged. This one is absolutely rigged without a doubt. BEWARE!!! This is not to say they do not have a fun game concept, but it is only good for the play points not really cash. I just don’t believe that SolitaireCube isn’t rigged and that they don’t have bots playing disguised as humans with the odd player names. They got me for over $100. It was a lesson learned. Again, BEWARE

Can you win? Yes. But do you actually win money more than what you spent? No. It’s a rip off plain and simple. These people are making so much money. It’s like you get a really great score in the head to head games that are only $.25 and you know you’ll win. But get a score like that in the bracket games and somehow people have impossibly high scores. I honest to God don’t know how you can score over 4,000 points because the quickest I’ve ever solved a game was like 2 minutes and it was 3,700 or so points. So somehow people are apparently solving games in 1 minute? You’ll go on win streaks that don’t last long at all. Then you’ll lose everything you won if you keep playing. You cannot make money off of this game, you really can’t. And if I’m wrong I would absolutely love to hear from someone who has genuinely profited off of this game. You guys prey on stay at home moms and wives and it’s really messed up. I know you don’t care but to anyone thinking of playing this game, I promise you it’s not worth it and you’ll be kicking yourself that you wasted your money. You might as well take your money and go spend it on lottery tickets because your chances of winning big are the same.

First thing I like solitaire and this game is pretty well done as far as gameplay goes. Here’s the advice as someone who played for a few months. 1 you must win more than 60% of your games to break even. The take away 10% of every singe match for an entry fee, you are also charged monthly fees that go up if you don’t play enough. So unless you are a savant at solitaire you won’t win any real money. I honestly don’t know how this game is rated as high as it is. There are super players on here that make it hard to win as well. I also suspect that some of the accounts are AI bots as a matter of fact I suspect that it would be very easy for a mediocre programmer to exploit this game, I mean really if AI can defeat the best chess players in the world what chance do you have at solitaire against one? Last issue I had with this game is that I didn’t play for a few days and when I logged back in it logged me into a completely new account and when I logged out and logged back in to my account I had 0.00 in my account. When last I played I had over $20 when I looked at my game history it was not accurate plus they took fees out. I hope this saves someone a few bucks waisted on SolitaireCube. If you want an actual chance to win real money gambling either go to a casino or use a legitimate gambling/casino app or website as they are highly regulated. Good luck sorry for the long review

Ok, so while I enjoy playing the games in general, there are too many system glitches that are just plain obnoxious. For starters, when you deposit funds into you account (which I do via PayPal), the only option I had to withdraw any money would be in the form of a check (which a $1.50 processing fee). I reached out to customer service asking if I could withdraw back into my PayPal since that’s faster and more preferable, but I was informed that I could only receive a check and it would take a number of weeks. Secondly, they offer little bonuses on the form of “trophies,” one of which requires a streak of ten games per day for a month, or three months, or a year. I live in California and apparently, this platform works on a completely different time zone, so the day “expires” by 4PM Pacific Standard Time. So the majority of the day in which this quota would need to be met is when I’m asleep. It’s bogus and has caused me to lose a lot of streaks as it is. There have been multiple instances where SolitaireCube has crashed in the middle of the game, which is when I have to reach out to customer service to report the crash if there’s any money involved. Very annoying. There’s a lot of little things that have accumulated during my time using this platform that need to be more transparent.

Don’t get me wrong, the game is addictive and competitive. I play both cash and free games. One thing I’ve noticed is where in free games I’m able to score higher. Cash games started up fair in the beginning where you would get playable hands and could score at least 1k points easily. Now I’m seeing more less playable hands where I’m scoring 20,40,60 points before I have no plays left. It’s to the point of winning one or two hands and losing 5 or 6. I’m starting to wonder if something is wrong with the schematics of dealing cards. How can you go thru a whole deck and only be able to make one or two moves? It’s almost as if it’s enough to keep you interested in playing but enough for you to slowly lose your bank roll so you’d have to reload cash. Developer, Please take a look into how the system deals hands! It could definitely use some improving on your end because there’s no way a player should end games with 20-60 points. Also it says that the more time you end game with gives you extra points. I’ve ended games with 3:50 remaining of the 5 minutes due to lack of moves and get 0-60 points for 3:50 remaining. I’ve played and ended games with 00:40 seconds remaining and got a couple hundred points extra from time. This is another issue that needs to be reviewed. Thanks.

Don’t put money in. I only did because they had a deal where you put in 30, gave you 30. However even after winning beyond all that (I lost most of it, then from games ended up winning over $60), when you withdraw it’ll take $30 away from you. It crashes a lot and when I did great it “loses” the score, and you can appeal to get your money back. They’re sneaky, though: I’ve done this and got an email saying the money was refunded and it never was. Watch carefully.

However, when you lose or have a bad game it somehow saves the score when it crashes... then they changed the minimum game price (increased the cost to enter a game) after I had put money in. Then it’s supposed to match you up randomly or to equal skills, but then it matched me up to someone I lost to several games in a row in a tournament so of course I instantly lost because the person is better than I am. Playing non-tournament games same issue: lost 6 times in a row, won 2, lost 3 more. It doesn’t set you up to even skill-level like it leads you to believe. They also have misleading titles: “$26 in prizes guaranteed” for a tournament: then when you win the whole tournament, you only get $15. You’ll lose money. So to play for free, it’s fine but crashes and has downtime where SolitaireCube won’t work for hours at a time.

Overall the game is pretty addicting. However, not sure if it is a true random algorithm or not, good luck actually being able to completely clear all of the cards. I won my first game and completely cleared the cards but unfortunately after that, every single game after has been garbage. Putting all red cards down and all low numbers, drawing three red cards on each draw consecutively, etc. Like I said, I’m not entirely sure if it’s rigged or not but something is off. And if it is rigged, (which I’m beginning to think it is) they haven’t done a very good job at making it subtle. So I decided to download three other solitaire games and guess what?!!! I won at least 5/9 games on each separate game/app right out of the game. They all felt like it was true random drawing and card placement. I understand putting apps out means money for developers, I get that. However, in this game specifically, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t make it truly random. Because there will be a winner wether it’s rigged or not. So why not make it more enjoyable and entertaining for the consumer? I would really appreciate good, honest feedback. Thanks

Let me preface this review with the following - I have no idea if the money is legitimate, I never got a chance to find out. There are several weird things in the setup of the game though, hence my rating.

The setup games are easy enough, gives you a taste and a solid run through. It asks if you want to play a cash game, and you’re led to a screen that asks for a cash deposit. One positive here is that they accept PayPal; if they hadn’t, I wouldn’t have even gone this far. You have to deposit at least $10 to play your first game, and - here’s where it gets sketchy - THEN they ask for your location to see if you’re even eligible to play these types of games. I live in SC, so I’m not, but I was unaware until after the transaction had been fully completed. I went to withdraw my $10 I deposited, and I got an email saying it takes 4-6 WEEKS for the money to show back up in the account. So you can take/accept money in about 30 second, but it takes a month and a half to get it back? Seems sketchy for sure. I don’t know though, I was never able to play a legitimate game for any substance.

This game is fun if you play the practice rounds because it doesnt cost money, and winning helps more than losing hurts. That’s not the case when you deposit money though. When you deposit money and play the cash matches, you’re very likely to lose all of it at the end because losing hurts more than winning helps. For example, if you lose a game, and then win a game, you still lost some amount of money. The only way to make money through this game is to win majority of the games you play (which obviously is very difficult) or play and win a game with high stakes (also very difficult). Basically you have to be beast at this game if you’re looking to get some extra cash, otherwise whatever cash you deposit you’ll be likely to lose. They had a deal where you deposit $5 and they give you $10 in bonus cash. At first I was doing well, but then they took away the lowest stakes option for me and the lowest stakes became $0.60 per game (entry fee) (whereas before it was $0.25 per game). That’s when I started losing cash and i now do not have enough money in my account to play more games unless i deposit more. I would not recommend this game for the cash aspect of it unless you’re really good at solitaire. If you are going to download this, just play practice rounds.

Starting off I thought this game was a scam, losing more than I won, and a lot. Lost a lot of money, but then I realized I needed to actually learn the skill of the game and work the strategy because believe it or not, there are people who’ve mastered this and it’s called a Pro League for a reason! I knew from beginning g that staff as well played the game, but you are indeed refunded if you lose against one. I know this because it’s happened when I was a beginner. Now that I’ve gotten much better with the game I’m up in the pro leaderboards, but you are going to want to play at higher hits to move on the board and always play smart, don’t rush to the point where you are forgetting key steps/moves to completing the game.

Overall it’s a great game, not a scam, you just need to practice the skill to be able to go up against some really good players. One thing I recommend are yes, maybe some new deck set ups, without replacing old ones. Also the matching has been my biggest issue. After this last pro league, the system isn’t matching me with anyone, in any of the selected cash options which is frustrating because I want live results and I don’t want to have to wait days for it to just be refunded. That’s needs to be fixed, please!

I love playing Solitaire on this site and the potential of winning real cash. I hate the frequency of crashes I experience and even though refunds are swift, many times I get condescending advice on repair and prevention even when the steps are taken in advance to prevent them. There seems to be no responsibility for it being a flaw in their system. There could definitely be some customer service retracing.
The other day during a Bonus Cash promo, I didn’t receive mine and contacted them about it. I was taken through all sorts on totally unnecessary loops to prove I wasn’t lying, when they had every piece of evidence in their own system to readily verify the error much better than I ever could have. The promo was on their Skillz News, I was asked for pictures; my deposit and balance is readily available on the site to verify I hadn’t received it. The time of my deposit was documented to verify it being within the promo time frame. Totally unnecessary hassle that was totally avoidable and verifiable by their own system. Doesn’t promote a sense of trust or honesty and should have been comped for the hassle.
If their was some customer service retraining, this would easily be my favorite gaming web site!

Im addicted to the game, play it everytime im free. A lot comments said they lose money, that's true, because you are not good enough. Just need to practice more with z money before you play real money. Im still learning tho', but here some tips. You can't be tired, blurry eyes, shaking fingers before you play, you should be really focus on the game, clear your head. cuz' You have to play very fast. Don't look at the card long, i almost not move my eyes. You think you are fast, but maybe your partner even faster. Until now, i still have same money in my account. It goes up and down all the time, but sometime i play $3 to get the $5, and the frays, or tournament, so im good.

Some people says maybe bots are playing with them, 'cuz they can't keep winning after the third time. Well i don't think so, there's time i keep winning like 10 times in a row. Dude, just keep practicing. Sometimes i can't keep playing, 'cuz some of players are really fast. Im like get off the game few minutes then come back.

I really enjoy this game! It’s easy to navigate SolitaireCube and it’s set up so that there are different levels for beginners or pro players. You can play for tickets (called Z) which you then use to play a game, or you can play for actual money. This game of solitaire is different from regular solitaire in that not every deck is able to be solved. Each game is timed. You get 5 minutes to solve the deck so to win you have to learn to use the time wisely. It took me a while to figure out that the idea is to go as far as you can to solve the deck and work as quickly as you can because once you reach the point where there are no moves left (or actually solve the deck), your time will be added to your score. So, the more time you have left, the higher your score will be. SolitaireCube gives you tips on how to play, which I found very helpful. Overall I have really enjoyed playing this game. Also, I love that this game doesn’t bombard you with ads every time you finish a game!! (Although I discovered SolitaireCube because I saw it in an ad so I guess those ads are actually helpful sometimes!)

First I have to say I love this game. Second I have to say that I am a degenerate gambler. This game is straight up gambling and is designed for the degenerates. The rake the house takes is crazy high. If you and I both pay $3 to enter a game they take $0.50 from both of us and if we win the winner gets $5.00. Only way to get a decent return is if you play the triple play. 3 people put up $10 and the winner gets $25 (that means they keep $5 to let us gamble) what if we tie you ask? A three way tie in solitaire? Well it is a statistical anomaly but when it happens each player gets $8 of their initial $10 wager or investment back.
If you want to gamble without leaving the house? This is the game for you. But you have to pay astronomical prices for that convenience. I like this game because I lose much slower than I do at a craps table and I can play this game while taking a crap.

I’ve been playing for a couple months to determine if it’s worth spending money and it’s not. Haven’t spent a dime and I never plan to. It’s a decent game of solitaire but there are a few things wrong. They advertise that the cards in every new draw are supposed to shuffle each time, they absolutely do not shuffle. Maybe if you are lucky you have a 5-10 percent chance the cards will shuffle but the majority of the time it’s the same draw over and over making it very hard to win. I’m pretty sure that the opponents are very rarely, if ever, actual people. Maybe in the pay to play you play actual people but I wouldn’t know. If you have the money to waste it might be fun to spend a little just to try it out, but if you are on a tight budget this is not a get rich quick scheme like they advertise. Even if you are a fantastic solitaire player,, it is set up so that you cannot win. I’ve Never played an electronic game of solitaire in my life where the cards were so often the same every single time they were dealt. don’t waste your money.

I originally wrote this review a few months ago with three stars, I am now returning to give one star and delete the game. I didn’t think the shuffling could get any worse but somehow it did. I haven’t won a game in over a week. Not worth it even to have fun as a free game. There are too many better options.

I played many games for money on SolitaireCube. In just one day, I managed to lose every game i played, resulting in losing every cent i had on my account. I rewatched every match, as they give you that option, and I had at least 350 more points, if not more, than the other player, but somehow my resulting score was 300 points lower on the recap screen. Example- I had 950 points one game, I ended the game, when it showed me the recap, it said I had 600 points. I rewatched the video and it was clear I ended with more points, even with the ending early bonus. The recap flat out said I only earned a third (or less) of the points than I really did. There should never be that discrepancy, and it happened on every single game today. I lost all $33 dollars on my account. I should blame myself for even playing.

Rewatched every game I could, and I had won every one, but somehow my score was adjusted to way lower, so I could lose. Absolute scam, and absolutely ridiculous. Should’ve withdrawn my $27 today when I signed on to my account- because this was a total scam today, every game and score was adjusted so I lost, and I rewatched every game, and saw what the opponent ended with- it was not what was on the screen (you can see the bonus points and everything- it flat out didn’t match up)
Conveniently, you can’t see the scores you were given with the bonus points on some of the videos, because it’s all BS, and you can’t replay some matches.
All rigged

Look, I love cards, and I can honestly say that I’m quite good at cards... Especially Klondike, Free cell, Spider etc. I thought that I would absolutely love this game and could put a few bucks in my wallet... Not even close.. I think it’s pretty low that I would get cards several times in a row that we’re impossible to win with! Yes yes I know they claim that it’s random but I can’t believe something so blatant! I like to feel a game out first before buying anything in a game. I am a P2W type of player. I have no patience, so if I have to pay to get bonuses, or extra cards, or more spins, extra hints, I’m going to do that! But I don’t waste my time or money on apps, games or developers who make it almost impossible to win! I won’t put a deposit down in this game! I won’t give you my credit card, or even make an in app purchase because I never won a hand! 1 hand, in the amount of time I played this game. No wonder people that are F2P complain all the time... They have Zero chance of winning unless they pay for something... These pictures of these people holding up checks they “won” is a joke! All these people won was their money back that they’ve lost through out their time in this game! Let’s get excited about winning back my losses! No thank you! I’ll spending my money on a better game, that has a better chance of winning at.

I’ve been playing this game for over a year now and have gone through reading all of the one star reviews claiming that SolitaireCube is rigged. First of all, SolitaireCube is not rigged, they pair you randomly with another player, it has nothing to do with your skill level so if you just happen to be not that good and a really good player is playing at the same time they’re gonna pair you together. It’s all based on who’s using which game at that moment. To everyone who is also claiming it’s rigged because they never win any money you gotta remember, this is gambling, you aren’t gonna win every time. When you deposit money and they offer you the bonus amount (for example they will do deposit $30 get an extra $30) that extra amount is not really money hence you can not withdraw that $30. Just as if you trade your tickets for cash, you cannot withdraw the fake money. If you have real cash and bonus cash in your account at the same time and play a cash game it will use half and half so eventually your bonus cash runs out and you will end up with money you can fully withdraw. For everyone saying it’s rigged, quite crying just because you aren’t good at the game, do practice tournaments. Play for Z’s first until you get good, and maybe go back and read the rules and instructions one more time because it’s clearly stated how the game works.

Loving the game. Undo button helps my ‘faster than lightning’ hands catch up to how my brains speeds thru my options. Great old school game that was rebooted with a nice layout.. a 5 minutes timer.. and love the option to stop at anytime thinking I’m out of moves... but is my competition ?... Oh and the points difference, on the time to still play, often makes or breaks you. So it keeps you going fast and on your toes. Another good one Skillz! This and Spider and Diamond Strike are my top 3!! Plus I’ve spent quite a bit of money on this game.. only lost it being too cocky and taking big risks.. so it’s cool y’all let us challenge someone for real cash prizes Every 4 hours... in a 1 on 1 so our chances of winning are great. Have you thought about adding a Skillz version of Othello? Or maybe Acey Ducey? (Acey Ducey is the faster better version of Bat-gammon) Or maybe Speed? That’s a card game that we could play for hours growing up!! I look forward to more Skillz games and hopefully keeping some of my winnings this time. Also.. could you consider putting some promo codes out there for the $10/$30 or some variation. Getting the extra is what got me to put in my last $100.. getting an extra $50.. but no way will I ever put the $250 or $500 you want for my next bonus deposit.

SolitaireCube is awesome. An easy way to win some decent money pretty easily with just a small deposit. I played for free and realized that it would take me forever to be able to enter any G’s es to win real cash without making a cash deposit. Usually there’s a minimum deposit of $10 which I think is high for a game ur not sure of it don’t know the odds of winning any cash for. But they were running a thanksgiving g special where if you deposit $5 then they give you $10 so I was able to put $15 on my account by spending only $5 and I thought that was great. I’ve only been playing for real cash for not even an hour and I’ve already won $20 so this is awesome. I definitely recommend SolitaireCube if your looking for a good way to spend your free time. And even if your not all that great, that’s ok cuz they match you against people of your own skill level so you still have really good odds of winning. Easier to make money winning it playing solitaire than waiting hours taking servers just to get a few bucks that’s for sure plus it’s really fun when you win & can get pretty exciting and pretty intense sometimes. I’m really hard to win over when it comes to playing games worth my time on my phone and this one definitely surprised me and exceeded my expectations, so if ur on the fence about it I say hands down give it a try.
