21 Blitz - Blackjack for Cash Reviews

by DuoTooTwo

totally rigged and very misleading on just about everything.
1. every $1 game the 2 players each risk $.60. At the end of the match the winner takes $1.00 and house keeps $.20. Win 5 games you win actually $5 but it cost you $3.00 to play so at the end you will a grand total of $2.00 more than you started. Now you loose 5 games in a row and you loose a total of $3.00. But the catch is after a week or so of building the confidence of players you start loosing by few points, winning a few and loosing a few. Each time you are now waiting for a challenger only to be beaten by someone that finishes shortly after you finish. Then a reply is available to watch the match but guess what - wrong those games 21Blitz states that the challenger might have a battery issue and the match can not be viewed sorry. Completely opposite of what they say that every game is viewable which is completely false. So fair warning - just take what you have to spend then double it is what at the end will be how much you lost. Once they go public the auditors will be able to check the top 10 winners everyday for the last few years and if all tax documents are in order....but those players in most cases are actually not real - pre recorded events matched only after you complete your session. your chances of winning $10 a week even after playing 100 games in a week winning $500 the net winnings might be only a few dollars left in the account. Just saying,

I’ve had just about every kind of problem you can possibly think of with these Con Artists. That’s exactly what they are. They lie about how fair the platform is but in reality they have over 30 different way to rip you off. Player support is no support at all. They treat you like you’ve stolen something from them after they rip you off. They respond to every single message with pre written generic responses. Which is only possible if they’re already aware of the problem. Lost matches with no replay. You just have to take their word for it. I caught them cheating and stealing from me so many times until I was given $300 to be quiet. Skillz as a whole seem to me to be very unethical and I would rather my whole family starve to death than work for such a shadily crooked group of people. Every single person there should be incarcerated. And I have proof of everything I have stated and would testify under oath against them. SHAME ON YOU SKILLZ. I KNOW YOUR PARENTS TAUGHT YOU ALL TO BE BETTER THAN THE CROOKS THAT YOU ALL ARE. YOU DESERVE TO BE SUED IF NOT PLENTY YEARS OF JAIL TIME FOR ALL THE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT AND MISINFORMATION. THE WAY LEVEL OF UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR LETS ME KNOW THAT YOU ALL ARE MORE CORRUPT THAN POLICE AND POLITICIANS.

Absolutely a scam. You bet $1 it costs you 60 cents to start, and if you win you only end up with 80 cents. The house takes twenty percent Win or lose. They may let you win big once or twice but you will instantly lose it back. They initially pair you with players and you can view the games to see if you won or not. After you win they will just send a message saying you lost or won. (Mostly lose) when you try and see the game the person beat you at they say there is an error and they can’t show you the game. So they just take your money without showing you that you lost.
In the middle of a one hundred dollar game I was playing, the game froze and gave me an error screen. When I logged back in all my money was gone. I sent an email explaining to them that the game showed an error and kicked me out. I got a harsh email back from them actually accusing me of closing the game while I was playing and that they couldn’t give me a refund. 100 bucks gone just like that. Do not waste your time or money. It’s a scam at its finest.

Yeah the punish you after you withdraw and the hold up your withdraws for days on end.
The only useful piece of advice I can give is that there seems to be a pattern early game if you’re able to find that pattern then you’ll always for the most part have the cards you need. If you miss that pattern they you’ll get loads of low cards early use the all up trying to clear stacks then mid game they’ll just give you like 5 10 or face cards in a row and you’ll just get screwed. But if you figure out what that pattern is then things are going good and you can really start to win big. But just remember don’t withdraw the house always wins and they are trying to make a game that you get addicted to and keep spending money on so what ever money you use don’t expect to see it again. God knows the few times I’ve withdraw Every time without fail it seems like the game gets 100% harder I’ll loose every game till what ever money I have left is lost. It’s been month and a half and haven’t seen any of those checks so unless they are sending the money by carrier pigeon. I doubt I’ll see it

I just played in the tournament and I scored around 9500 points while my opponent scored 7125 points and yet they still won. The game kicked me out when I was about to submit my score and there was no way for me to submit it, now it says that I aborted the game. Complete scam, do not play this crap.

This game is all about skills taking money from you. Once you download the game and reach a certain level they deposit your account with $4, they do that because they know you will lose money back to them . The beginner tournament costs $.60 to enter to play for $1 which means even if you win you are getting .40 cents and not $1. If you win 3 games in a row they will make sure you lose 6 games in a row. I would never deposit money into this game and no one else should. I just played a tournament and the lowest card a got was a 9, it kept giving me high number cards to make me lose, I simply had no way to avoid losing since after two cards I already had over 21 in each hand. Absolutely ridiculous.

Fun game but the idea of putting you against “ similar skilled “ players makes profitably impossible. Once you get a win streak going they feed you to the sharks and you will lose. If they can’t find a player better than you, you will wait with games stacked up ( while hundreds of opponents keep playing) until they serve you up to a better player. Couple that with the ease of using a bot to play a pretty solvable game mathematically and you will never win. Also, you can put thousands of dollars in play but the, otherwise fun, chat room is rated PG for what you can say. If they would simply set matches based on the buy in amount this would be a good game and you could win at your level and climb the buy in ladder. But Skillz wants to make sure everyone is break even or less so you stay in play and they keep raking in their vig. Don’t fall for it. Play poker. That’s a skill game that lets you play against the willing fish. 21 blitz is a rake scheme and unless your the very very best, you cannot win.

Have deposited at least 3x I won a Single dollar here and there but they have that I’ve earned almost a hundred dollars which is a lie under contest trophies I have lost every deposit I made I haven’t won any money just lose they allow u to win 1 or 2 games but than u lose lose lose playing just a dollar their tournaments are not comprehensive it pretends they’re free rounds after u pay 6.00 to play but it that amount for every round to finish plus when u win a dollar or five it’s paid just a fractionlike 60 cents not a whole dollar, u pay 60cents to win a dollar but u only win 60 cents so u really won zero only replacing ur 60 cents i have 10 dollars left wanted to cash out can’t get ur money back or out for 6 long weeks when they take ur money out of ur bank immediately
I’m disappointed this game is being advertised by 21Blitz Store even promoted I think u should hire people to check out these play to win apps ur selves before putting ur stamp of APPLE approval on them

If I could give 0 stars I would I deposited $10 dollars into this and somehow on my bank account it said it had taken out $20. I was already mad because I was trusting this game to even use my bank and credit card information with it and they decide to take more than what I wanted. I then took my time to try and fix a mistake they made and contacted them and all the person could say was that there where two transactions if 10 dollars made and when I read that I became even more furious because I had only made one. So then I asked for a full refund of everything because I no longer wanted anything to do with this game and all he said once again was you have to withdraw from the account so I repeatedly told him that there was nothing to withdraw and that I wanted my money back. This game is such a complete scam i recommend you don’t waste a cent or time on this stupidity of a game. And I’m still trying to get in contact with someone hiring in position who can actually be able to help me.

I played the game for a couple of months I invested in this game a quite a bit of money then when I checked my credit card I realize they was double double charging my credit card they did this several times I disputed it with their department sent several emails and they made excuses they made so many excuses I had to report them to the fraud department with my credit card company to get my money back I’m still disputing charges that they made against my credit card then they blocked the account so I couldn’t get copies of all of the transactions but they made the mistake because I already had copied all of my transactions proving that they double charged my account on multiple days this company is fraudulent if you use your credit card with them you better check your account. just think the people who never check their accounts there raking up money over charging people and then making false advertisement talking about you can win $2 million yeah right play this game at your own risk

by Tough Game Critic The First

They ask you to deposit your own money for the game, and they don’t tell you how to play in the first place. I have no idea HOW to play and it won’t let me play another game unless I deposit my own money, which is dumb, Because the game is supposed to give YOU money. It’s a waste of time. Don’t get the game. Also I am starting to suspect that the good reviews are fake. The lengthy ones probably aren’t, However, if you keep scrolling down, the reviews start to get a lot shorter, and they all say the same thing. “I’ve been playing all night! You win real money!” This whole app is very secretive and suspicious. The game is designed so that they get money off of YOU. Also, the opponents aren’t real people, they are just fake..... I’ve seen the same people repeatedly and you never win no matter how good your score is. Also online gambling is illegal in all states except for Nevada, so technically 21Blitz is illegal and by supporting it, you’re helping this scamming business grow. DONT GET 21Blitz !!!!!!!!!

Absolutely junk algorithm, not true random generation. After a couple weeks of playing can almost always predict a bust coming, as the game will deal like 8-10 face cards in a row, A LOT, causing you to bust. Single matches are clearly placing you against a computer user as the names are so crazy obviously auto generated like MrSmoothJonesDR or some garbage, without a real avatar. When playing against a computer it’s only obvious the cards are stacked against you. Think about it, all they have to do is say okay if this person scores this much then make sure the computer user scores more and then just as one would think, the developer is raking in all the cash. Is the game fun, yes, if it wasn’t so obvious and predictable time and time again. I can see where it can be addicting like any gambling, so beware, or watch your bankroll slowly fade away as you continue shoveling money into what you hope becomes a big score, and never happens.

If you don’t get that this misleading changing the rules to suit their needs not being clear about what the downfalls are advertising it just like that so the baiting they will be in trouble don’t accept what people tell you that is in only their favor their goal is for you to walk away and leave your money they don’t deserve they messed up and took from me they can okay hard and tell me whatever but when it comes to it explain what multiple accts are in my phone I didn’t create and why is money gone and why couldn’t you respond to the request qnd show me how the money went the rest I care nothing about I’ll deal with your advertising and methods pay me and you will compensate don’t care if I’m banned for life games are set for you to not win and if your playing real people their skilled masters I just may ask for a record log to prove real people you say we play was just that I’m not feeling you at all I don’t like being duped

by Jjsayre

I get the company taking a rake for every challenge... but they claim to pair you up for “fair challenges”... what that means is you will never, I repeat never win more than 50% of the games you play... so if you’re doing well they don’t even match you with someone to play live with... they match you later with someone who played better... that way they keep taking profits... example... if you play a $12 entry fee one on one you can only win $20... so they take $4... if you play 10 games for $120 and you win half of the games you win $100... you lose $20 for winning half of the games you play... but they keep it balanced so you will only win half of the games you play... keeping people thinking they are winning half of the games while losing money... they disclose that they match you with people playing at your level... it’s their way of saying we know how to keep you semi happy and take as much money from you... complete scam... don’t waste your money.

Payouts should be higher… it’s impossible to get ahead unless you are better than everyone else so it’s fun but not feasible for extended play. The payouts are very very low!!!! It costs .60 to play and you only win .40 if you do win, so you have to win 2 out of every 3 just to get .20. If you win a few games it’s hardly noticeable and of course if you lose a few games, it’s impossible to catch back up again. Not a lot of players, probably because the payout is so unrealistic) which is obvious because it’s constantly running out of opponents. Everyone can see that for every $1 game that is played, the house gets 1.20 and the winner only gets .40 of that!!!!!! The winner should be getting .80 instead of the house!!!! I and my friends would play way more for money if it were a more fair payout. Please be a more fair and generous house and get your profits from the increase in players you will get!!! It’s basic economics.

Hi, I’ve won money and I’m a really good and skilled player. At first I thought luck was really essential, but then I understood that skill was the determining factor. Chat has good people, but overall it’s unfriendly, however support is always there to answer my questions, withdrawals, even though slow, are legit, the bad reviews are either because people thought the “deposit money” page was that Skillz sent money to their cards, but it’s the opposite, and you use that money to play. The false advertising is bad, like you winning $2 million a week, but I think there was like a competition on submitting videos of one acting like they’re playing Skillz games, and the best ones were chosen by the developers, Tether and Big Run (not Skillz, they don’t advertise) to add to their ads. I think they should use pro players, high earning players to promote their games. But overall it’s a satisfactory experience and you should play. Also, it’s fun and games until you start playing hamdawg and magnum, so getting good and keeping a good denomination and betting strategy is key to profit. There are videos online to learn about this game.

I’ve had exceptional customer service with each and every interaction through Blitz 21. They have an awesome customer care team for any support or technical requests. Customer service seems to not only resolve my issues in less than 1 day, but they truly seem to value the consumers satisfaction. For example- (actually happened) they recently offered a $30 bonus a play bonus of $100 deposit. I at the time made like 10 individual deposits of $10 each in the same day and kindly they granted me the bonus on the condition that I understand for future bonus elegibilty it must match the individual amount offered rather than equal to. Overall great customer service and I’m happy :)

Never would I expect to beat out 32 players to win a tourney AND do it multiple times, as well. It's a fun way to waste my time while waiting on whatever or for whoever. Each rounds are about 3 mins.(I think) but its easy to go to the next game and there is no waiting for it OR a bunch of advertisements or pop-ups. That's amazing! And if there is no opponent available to play you you just proceed with your turn and when someone is available to play against you they will and you will be notified by tapping on one of the tabs at the bottom. And the icing on the cake is you can win money!!!!!!!! It's fun to me. Don't take my word for it. Load it up and try it!!!!

by Adobeone

I enjoy playing this game. But I always keep in mind: The House always wins! Remember this as you play this game. I’ve read other reviews that read more Like complaints, expecting to “win big” online. My suggestion: just play the game. keep in mind: you gotta bet big to win a few dollars. The House will always wins. Yet just play to reach short goals. I play this game not to win big, just win a couple of dollars Here and there. Once I get $10...great! This game is just as challenging as if you were at the Casino. If you win big: “Congratulations”! But fair warning: this game is addictive. My advice: Play to enjoy the game, not to earn a pay check. Plus, take a break.

Can’t say anything bad about this place it is so great and wonderful that I have a the time of my life that’s all I can say you’ve heard it the innuendo before but you know that’s what I have down here I just have the time in my life you know the machines are great they spit out loud to coin each and you know it’s it’s it’s fun for once I found a place where I can come and have a lot of fun you know the music the people you look around you everybody has a big grin on their face smiling and everything makes you feel like smiling and having a big grin on your face also it’s just wonderful here you know the people are good that’s all I can say wonderful great like Tony the tiger would say

by Scottlarox

When u first start out playing it make it seem that it will be easy wins . And for the most part it is but the game is manipulated to where when u bet more z,s or cash then al of a sudden the bs begins . Example in the beginning you are Abe to make 21's and 5cards but during higher stakes al of a sudden no more Aces appear and when they do it isn’t a back jack or if u so happen to fill all the columns with numerators in the 10's then now the game is only adding a face card for u to bust that I s what I experienced so no way am I adding any funds to this manipulation to an already rigged game . So the reality is it doesn’t even get a star because it’s a waste of money . All morning I played it was fine then the moment I begin playing for money now it is horrible .

Disposit $30 just to get $30 total of $60 in game cash. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Every dollar you spend on it, you used your own money, the bonus $30 is just for show saying you have more to spend “if” you don’t withdraw your cash back. Once you withdraw your cash, you lose the $30 they gave you which, in fact is dumb, when you spend 40/60. Meaning you spend $1 on entry fee, but they use 60% of your own cash to pay and use 40% from the game. Not only that, they only allow you to take 60% of the winning which, 60% of that 60% you won back goes into the pile of in game cash and 40% of the 60% you earn goes into your real cash you can withdraw. Making you earn $0.20 cent while spending $0.60. Unless you can cheat and guarantee 101% win rate you will earn just above what you pay. Come to think of it, you still have to wait 4-5 business weeks for your cash to arrive in a form of a check. So if you spent $100’s of dollars and want it back, you better budget your bills because that money is not going to come back anytime soon. Walking across country sounds faster than you getting it back.

If you play the free games it’s a 5 star game. However, money games are an obvious LOSE LOSE SCENARIO FOR EVERYONE. Their rake or entry fee is ridiculously high. For example an entry fee of $0.60 will earn you $0.40 if you win...$3 entry to win $2...$6 to win $4, etc... Their so called fair player based matching is a genius business model for them but devastating to the majority of players. Put it this way, if everyone won half the time, everyone would eventually lose their money. Pay attention to the other reviews folks, the only real way to make this profitable for more people is if the game matching would be random. Think about it, if you played cards at the casino they wouldn’t force you to play with only players of your own skill level. That’s how you win, by playing others that are not as skilled. If you do play with real money, take extreme caution and remember that you have been warned.

The gameplay is fun and competitive, however you would be crazy to pay actual money on 21Blitz that is clearly a scheme to make money. First, the rake 21Blitz takes on each game is ridiculous. For example you have to pay $0.60 to play a game in order to win $0.40. Once you win whatever number of practice games they give you $2 but if you lose 3 games in a row you can’t play a money game unless you add funds which probably isn’t the best idea. The way the algorithm matches players based on skill level is to ensure that people win roughly around 50% of games so that because of the rake, people in turn will always slightly lose money unless they get on a crazy streak. This keeps people playing and putting money in so that 21Blitz developers can continually make money. It’s a legal, but a super slimy way to make money off of people. Give them addicting gameplay, make them add their own money (because $2 does not go far lol), build an algorithm to match players equally so that everyone hovers around a wining percentage of 50%, keep taking the rake of of winnings. Slimy but hey it works. I gave it 2 stars because it is a fun game. Just don’t put money on because you are just handing it over to snaking developers.

by Shags420

You don’t have to spend any real world currency to get real world currency in the game. Once you win 25 practice matches the game gives you $2. Which doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s better than nothing for sure! The $1 games cost .60¢ so that’s a .40¢ come up every time you win. It seems like the algorithm for opponents or the games themselves are a bit messy. For example, there’s a possibility that you and your opponent may get different decks to play with which takes away fairness. However, I have no evidence to back this up, but when I get 4-6 kings in a row when all of my columns are almost full and I bust 3 times in a row, and end up with a score of just under 3,000 while my opponent ends up getting 7,000+, it makes me skeptical whether or not the games are symmetrical. All in all, it’s a fun twist on black jack and you can literally win money to play with.

by WillyColón77

But my Question is I just put $5 and the Blitz gave me $5 so I can play with other with real money to play with other if some please can tell me what’s going on because I don’t like to be scammed at all, it keep repeatedly telling me there are no player around my area which that shouldn’t matter if I’m playing with other people around the world with the Z Credit so why are you stopping me from playing with real money competing with others and it’s my money that have put down as well. If someone can please explain to me I really would appreciate it because I didn’t put my money to waist and not play with other as I am trying to enjoy this game. And if I am being scammed I will report this so call Skillz ASAP because I don’t appreciate having my money taken away just like that.
