Pool Payday Reviews

I played for real money on this game and I was pretty good at playing it. The problem that I keep on having was, I would get kicked of my game when I was winning, or right when I started the game. This game is a scam just to make its players keep depositing more money! When your playing for no money there is never an issue. However, when you start playing for real money your game will say (CONNECTING TO SERVER) then boot you off giving the win to your opponent no matter how far you are up! Like I said, this problem never happens when you are loosing or playing for no money, it only happens when you are playing for real money and winning. I STRONGLY ADVISE YALL GO TO A NON SKILLS REAL MONEY GAMING APP BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING VERY FISHY WITH SKILLS GAMING! Anyone that is having the same issues that I am having please report it to the Federal Trade Commission. This place builds cases against fraudulent sites like these. I am disgusted with this skills gaming/ Hidden pixel gaming stealing my money and am currently working on starting a class action lawsuit against the company.

I neverrrrr write a review but after $150 and a bunch of matches I had to say something. If I could’ve giving this a 0 star I would’ve. I’ve come to the conclusion this game is a scam. What everyone is saying is true. The white ball either rolls to much or falls short. Shots that are easy to make you miss. And it’s very rare you play with an actual person. They set you up against their bots. This game is a complete scam. I deleted the game with a few dollars in the account. I don’t even want it back I want absolutely nothing to do with this game. Oh yeah not to mention the time I did win big the game froze on me and they kept the winnings. Please don’t waste your money playing this. Go to the corner store and buy a scratch off. You have better chances of winning that. And agin I never wrote a review a day in my life I’m 28 now but I absolutely feel scammed.

I bought three bucks to bet in the game and first game on my opponent absolutely killed me, making all kinds of crazy bank shots off the wall. And I thought that maybe it was some kind of fluke, so I bought three bucks one last time. The next game was going better for me and was down to one last shot to win the game. I had the most obvious shot and the guideline was directly towards the middle of the pocket (NO WAY THAT IT SHOULD HAVE MISSED) and when I shot it, the ball bounced off the sides of the pocket and I ended up losing. They make it to where you can't gain any money from your starting point. If you go on a win streak the opponent gets stupidly more hard and is impossible for you to win. This game is worth reporting as they basically are stealing money from you. Not cool at all...

I would love to personally meet anybody who actually won money at any of these games. First thing they do is sucker you in to puitting in more money by allowing you to win a few games, and then all of a sudden the scores you posted before that win you the games are suddenly not good enough, all of a sudden these “superstars” come out of the woodwork every time you post a good score. This is a scam. But they do this just enough to keep you with a little bit of money so you keep playing. Also another thing they do is promote you too a higher level prematurely so they have a reason for all these miraculous high scorers. Even if this was legit they promote you so prematurely that there is no chance for you too actually win anything substantial. Stay away from these Skillz games. I know a scam when I see one. They will steal your money. I’ve got a feeling I will be seeing them on the news soon for fraud

Skillz as a company is the worst. Misleading info pertaining to the game and how you can win money (I could go on for paragraphs about this, but FYI, you cannot make money in the long run. It’s built that way on purpose).

This game is fun, but it never gets updated. The majority of my frustration stems from not just the fact that the ‘playing for money’ part is complete nonsense (the house takes WAY too much of a %, I’m one of the top players in the world and I cannot even sniff profiting, no way). So take that for what it is, as a long time user I have so many ideas on how they can improve different aspects while still making a profit as a company. But they won’t hear it, and they will also mute you in the chat room, or ban you, while telling you they are “not allowed” to go into details pertaining to such an action. So they can just do it for whatever reason they feel like, which does not sit well with me at all.

That said it’s a fun game! Just don’t you dare put money into it, otherwise you will be asking yourself why you might win 70-80% of your games while not netting any profits at all yet.

They take 20% of each players wager for themselves. Meaning it isn’t exactly head-to-game gambling it’s essentially pay for the service and you can potentially win money if you win a lot but it’s certainly not in the players favor. To win a dollar against someone, its not each person pays 50 cents and winner take all. It’s 60 cents a person to win 40 cents. They market it in a way that makes it seems like your winning more than you actually are I think that’s ethically unsound. My first 8 games playing for dollar bets I won 5 of them and was only up like 60 cents total because each game PoolPayday itself takes some of each wager. Proceed with caution the game is fun and works fine but they should fix their margins because it really is a scam in that way.

Maybe they take so much to pay for the potential prizes but the prizes are an absurd amount of tickets and I imagine your better off just buying any of the prizes where you would normally buy them. They’re treating this like some arcade for children as opposed to an actual gaming/gambling app.

I've been playing this game for four years, and my experience shows that it's genuinely possible to earn money based on skill. Consistency and improvement were key—if you put in the effort, you could see profits. The matchmaking was generally fair, adjusting to your skill level and mixing up opponents when necessary. However, recent changes have significantly impacted gameplay. Since December, 100% of my games are pending, and they control who can play my pending games and when (favoriting often the same player), limiting my ability to profit. It seems others at my level can play freely, match pending games repeatedly, earn rewards, and climb the ranks while I'm stuck waiting. When I contacted support, their response—seemingly automated—attributed everything to their matchmaking system. But having played for years, I've noticed a significant departure from how things used to operate. It's frustrating when fairness seems inconsistent. Overall, I believe the game is legitimate and doesn't use bots, but issues with cheating and uneven player treatment affect the experience. With dedication, players can improve and earn money, but the game's control over earning potential is evident and could be a deterrent for some.

A. Lot of people are right, your not going to win any money and if you do you’ll never win more then you put in. The big winners are probably friends or relatives who got some weirdo crap going on to where they split the money at the end of the quarter. I do know there is lots of crap that’s going to go down when the feds get done with there investigation. My family are federal agents and they are doing something about the accusations and they will get to the bottom of all this and if they are scamming us and taking our money in an unfair way, then they will be punished to the fullest and do some serious time in the federal prison and let me tell you that’s not a place you want to be. So hang in there and time will tell. If you feel your getting scammed like a lot of people say they are, then just don’t play, there are others money games out there that you actually win money at so I’d look for them and play till this is all sorted out. Don’t worry I’ve lost a lot of money to this game and the ones winning is always the same players over and over. I won big and checked it later cause I got probably the highest score you can get and when I looked I went from 1st place to like 9 th and only won $50. I was livid as heck. I feel for you all and I’ve got much respect for all of you that play honest games and always come up short. I’m sorry you all are going through this during these hard times, but if you want to talk or want a friend then look me up satanredrum.

I had an incident when I had a tied game but when I checked the person didn’t tie me they scored lower. But however they had a chance to beat me in a tiebreaker. Also having issues with not getting my trick points for trick shots. Then I noticed when I’m waiting for an opponent after I play usually it says opponent is playing and then I see what they scored. But then I noticed there where times while waiting for an opponent I would get the results without waiting for them to play to see the results which I thought was strange 12-22 Good game but sometimes I don’t receive points for the more subtle trick shots along the rail. Usually I get them but every once in a while it doesn’t register which can be frustrating. But besides that it’s fun. Had an issue with my power meter for shooting and lost 2 games because of it. Then I contacted support with the proof and they said they couldn’t see the problem which is true but however it doesn’t mean I wasn’t experiencing it. So I waited a couple hours and the problem was gone but it’s not a good feeling when you’re trying to shoot a full power shot and only get half Perhaps some sort of quicker refund system for crashed games that happen here and there…… I thought about cashing out then found out that I would be forced to forfeit all my bonus cash which I thought was odd

I truly believe this is the most “honest” game between all of the ones you can potentially win money on (bingo, pool, solitaire, etc). I give it a 4 because as much as they claim they are against bots, there tends to be a handful of players that throw red flags and even when brought to support’s attention, there is no sense of concern and it’s disappointing. And when i say red flags, I am referring to specific moves or overall wins that have happened on more than one occasion and seem to slip thru the algorithm.. IE a gold player with a 28 win streak and manages to nail every trick shot and they just recently began appearing as an opponent. But aside from those players (and there really isn’t very many, and again, it’s the lack of concern that is disappointing) this game is a lot of fun and by far, the most honest.

I love it but for a 5 star please 1.improve the speed of making comments and either change or add new. Also, please add more comments to choose from . There is a chat feature outside of the pool game but I don’t use. Games like Tennis Frenzy and Baseball Frenzy are pvp and the have emojis and comments much easier to use. 2.When I beat a player senseless, if they forfeit the game it takes between 15 to 45 seconds for me to be able to do anything. Sometimes it still doesn’t recover. The game play is realistic and fun! Thank I have not found any pool game I like to play more. This is a Skillz game for cash money or practice. Other games (not Skillz) provide bonuses etc. Please add.

I’ve been playing for a couple weeks now it’s been fun I enjoy playing pool to make or not make money it makes no difference to me, however if I ever do I will update my review and let you guys know the absolute truth so you don’t waste your time if your only interested in playing for money then don’t waste your time.
Update: I’ve had a lot of fun playing on PoolPayday you also get to meet lot of unique people but this is not a hook up site so please keep that stuff where it belongs, otherwise have fun play for money or don’t it’s up to you! Yes you can win money sorry for beating around the bush on that subject, see y’all there!

My favorite pool game of about five I’ve tried. For awhile i played the Blitz game also, but now this is the only one i play. Occasionally i have a problem with the cue stick kind of sticking a little bit which is frustrating Still Five Stars since the action is in general so much consistently smoother than the other games, especially after the last upgrade. I should report it when it happens but it’s not frequent enough to be worth taking the time. Support was very responsive the one time I contacted them when i first started. Friendly chats. I haven’t played any live games yet although i have won a little money. Started out with a very small amount of Bonus Cash - it’s relatively difficult to build Bonus Cash - then after i started winning made a small deposit and have been fortunate to keep ahead. Good Luck!

So I downloaded PoolPayday about a year ago and at first I didn’t really like the ergonomics or fluidity of the game. After playing it over the past year I have really started to love this game. I have played many other pool games and yes some may have a better feel to it but as far as fairness and competitive opponents go this game beats them all. Good job Skillz you guys got me again..I have spent a lot of money playing against people all year long and now I’m finally good enough to make it all back and then some. But all that aside, it’s a great way to spend some down time and relax after a stressful day.. 🍻

They have so many games and they actually are legit! You can play for free and win tickets and buy money with the tickets if you want to try a real cash game! It’s 100% Fair, as well! They match you with a person with the same skill level as you!Also the customer service is probably the best customer service I’ve ever had to write two and theyRespond so fast in so kindly and they are understanding and have a lot of empathy they do great work!I’ve never had an issue that they didn’t fix or they explained so I understood these are the only money games I will play because they are legit and they are fun!!

Very cool open minded game… It’s a lot better than any other pool game I’ve seen on computer & Facebook.…FACT. What is crazy; I’m not even a gamer, I do love playin this pool game‼️🙌🏼🎯 Only downfall is when getting ready to play it aborts sometime’s & durnin play the screen will just freeze up fuzzy red, green, or gold an not come back on. Whatever color your table is; that’s the fuzzy color I see from time too time, it’s all good …Enjoy 🔥playing; u-ns take care, 🎱or9-ball anyone⁉️🤔

June 14, 2023 I believe all the glitches in PoolPayday . is worked out now.
Thank you, James Sayre (Scorpion69Wv)🦂

PoolPayday is great super fun and competitive. The main issue I have with PoolPayday is that it’s the only billiards type game that you can make a final shot to win the game while scratching at the same time. No pool game ever has awarded a win to a player that scratches during the winning shot. So either penalize a scratch by not awarding any points, or respot the balls made during scratch and penalize the 30 pts. Overall great app, but if I’m winning and a player makes a shot to beat me and scratches that’s not right. I’d love to hear your take on this piece because if “Pool” is your your games title you may want to refresh your rules committee about the consequences of scratching in any other pool game out there. But in this day and age when everyone gets a trophy you don’t want anyone getting hurt feelings because they made a little mistake of hitting the one ball in you’re not supposed to.

Just something to consider, other than that awesome app

I can’t say how impressed I am with this entire experience. At the start I expected a scam but it turned out to be exactly what it claimed. The pool interface is easy and fun without the lag associated with some of the big pool apps. There is an unusual way of playing that I haven’t seen before and it both makes the game a new challenge and also speeds up the process of connecting with and taking turns with someone else. There is also live 8 ball that’s top notch.
There are options for practice, for playing with game currency or playing for money. It isn’t required to do the pay games and it isn’t trying to trick you into then either.

I had a question about an aborted game and after looking over support I contacted them for clarification. They answered me within a few minutes on a Monday night and completely handled my problem. I could not ask for more and can’t recommend PoolPayday are more strongly. It’s a gem of honesty run by an active developer. Give it a try. You won’t regret it.

This game is freakin pretty great! I have played several other Mobile Pool/Billiards games and this is one seems to be the least glitchy and the most fun. While I’m used to 15-ball I find that the 8-ball format is faster and in some circumstances requires a little more skill. Either way, this game has scratched the incessant pool hall itch I’ve had since this whole pandemic lockdown thing began. Our local hall finally opened a week ago but I’m still a little leery to spend that much time indoors with a crowd before I get my 2nd dose. This game will more than suffice til then!

This is a really fun game to play with fair chances of winning money. They also give good amounts of bonus cash too! You can play with their game coin for practice and get some for free every day for login bonus. Sometimes they will replace the login bonus with free bonus cash which is awesome! You won’t make an income from playing this game obviously! However if you just want something fun to play to pass time with chances of winning extra money give this one a chance.
