Blackout Bingo - Win Real Cash Reviews

by BryBry102682

Do NOT download this game unless you just want to play for fun. I would win most of my games with ease while I played for fun. Decided to try for money and that’s when it starts. Sometimes you can win, but since the game keeps a huge chunk of the “buy in” between the players, you have to win much more than you lose just to gain anything at all. When I first started for money I could win about 50% of the time. I’d get my balance up a little bit and then lose 5 or 6 games in a town. Put more money in and they take it extremely fast now. I can black out a card and my opponent will beat me by 2 or 3 points every single time! You’re playing against a computer first of all, so that explains that part. Now it won’t even match me up with anyone, just says finding an opponent, and by the time I finish, my opponent is already done somehow and I always lose. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS GAME!

Update: tried playing again.....same results!! Somehow I lose by just a couple of points every single time! Weird thing is, every speed daub is 150, every bingo and time bonus is by the 100’s so how do I keep getting these odd numbers and lose by a couple points??? RIGGED!!

So I have been playing this game for a while. I have won money but never actually cashed out. Just continued to play. Recently I realized there was a “switch account” feature- which would lead anyone to believe the could have multiple accounts. I am a person who loves to play games on my phone. I am also an impatient person. I noticed that other players were taking a full 24 hours to complete games. So where there was a switch account feature, I was thought no biggie, I can create other accounts so I can still play the same game without having to increase the anti. For some of you that don’t know- they have games that are a certain price. But if your playing that game and have to wait HOURS for another player. You can’t enter another game for the same price until that game is over.

I was winning money and decided to cash out. Last night, I received an email that my account was suspended. I asked them why. I also explained to them that I was unaware that I couldn’t have multiple account and about the switch account feature. They told me they weren’t giving me the money i won and they were not refunding the money I spent on BlackoutBingo to win money.

For me, that’s a red flag. buyer beware.

I made a couple deposits a month ago with my card, BIG MISTAKE! This company not only illegally and without my approval charged the same card over 48 more times but for an amount totaling almost $3,000. I contacted their “support team” and the responses I’ve received are comical at this point….I couldn’t have been more clear with them and they all respond with the same copied responses that have absolutely nothing to do with the 48 unauthorized charges. I’ve went back and forth over 100 times in emails with an extremely thorough and basically dumbed down explanation because obviously they are not comprehending that somehow my card was used another 48 freaking times after I made 5 small deposits last month. To date I’ve contacted their CEO, Founder, several others with higher titles at the company Skillz and yet no one will respond or address. I’ve filled a complaint with the BBB, FTC and my local gaming commission. The amount of these charges are so high and just wrong to do to someone next step is my attorney. DO NOT USE BlackoutBingo OR THIS UNETHICAL, ILLEGAL, THIEVING and downright disgusting company SKILLZ. Unless you want your information taken and used for unauthorized fraudulent transactions. No matter what it takes or what I have to do I am not stopping until they are brought to justice and refund the money that was stolen from me and probably several others.

I used to love this game. Played it all the time. Spent hundreds and hours on this game. If you won a couple times in a row with high scores, they will match you up with people high on the leaderboard. This is very hard to beat people with higher skills than you. I know they said it’s even, but I highly doubt it. I used to be good at this game, but even when I get almost perfect scores I still lose. Also another thing, there is a switch accounts button. This lead me to believe I could have more than one account. Why is the button there if you can’t actually have more than one? Maybe to make players lose even more of their money. I tried to withdraw $405 from the new account I made, but they won’t let me because they think it was fraud. I wasn’t making the accounts with bad intentions. I read the Terms and Services, but they shouldn’t have had the button there to begin with if they don’t want you to have more than one account. I’ve spent way more than the $405 I was trying to withdraw, and I will not be spending any anytime soon. Also, you can’t have the check mailed to your house if someone else in your household plays a Skillz game. Which, I think is ridiculous because the checks would be written out to different people. I would just really like my withdrawals I tried to make.

This game is definitely rigged, no transparency at all. I have been playing this game for quite sometime now and have noticed that things don’t quite add up. One time I played in a $24 game and was in the last round when suddenly they said it tied with my opponent and I had to replay that level. I ended up losing and went back to rewatch the match, most of the time I was e least 3000 points ahead but literally in the last 3 seconds they added just a little bit more points to my opponent’s game to make them win.

Another time, I was playing a game with 4 players, after winning round one and went on to round two, I noticed that the same person I played and won in round 1, played twice in the same game and won that round. I have played in multiplayer game a lot and sometimes I press play again, that never happens when I get to play twice in the same game.

This is so obviously rigged and obvious that it pisses me off. It is obvious that they use machines to play against people and end up winning. I hope people read this and just stay away from this game, that never give you a chance to win big. It’s like pouring money into a bottomless pit with no chance of getting it back.

Many reviews state that this game is addicting. And, they’re right! It is. But be careful, this game is very good at screwing you over without you noticing... I’m still very skeptical of how truthful they are in stating that you’re playing other members, as you only seem to win when you go extensive periods of time without playing; and even then, you never seem “allowed” to win more than three or four times in a row before hitting a convenient losing streak shortly after. And even then the losses are almost always by crazy-small margins (I really lost by 10 points- several times in a row- once) And when you do win, they aren’t consistent in distributing the correct amount of money you are supposed to win.
For example: if I play a match for $1 in winnings, and win that match, sometimes I win the whole pot ($1) sometimes I only win the amount I put towards the game (60¢), sometimes it’s just the amount my opponent put towards the game (40¢). In the end, sometimes they cheat you out of your honesty-won money. So definitely play at your own risk and pay attention to your pot every time you play, especially if you win a match. Remember how much you had before you played the match so you can do the math afterwards if you win.

Money I deposited into my Blackout Bingo account disappeared after app stopped working forcing me to uninstall and re-install BlackoutBingo !!! I’ve been playing this game for over a year now and last night while in the middle of a tournament (which I deposited money into to play - the $4.50 brackets game to win a pool of $95 -) and BlackoutBingo stopped working and I couldn’t get it to open past the the company logo. I had just won the 3rd round and was waiting for a winner from another 3rd round to continue on to the last two rounds when app stopped working. I can’t finish the last two rounds if BlackoutBingo won’t work, screwing me out of the chance to win anything. The bracket ends in a few hours meaning I was screwed out of the $4.50 I paid to play this game. After uninstalling and re-installing, also discovered not only did money disappear that was still in my account (about $5.50-$6.00), but also thousands of tickets I’ve earned as well as level ups, and trophies I’ve earned. So ticked off!!! Could I please be refunded for the $4.50 for the game since your app wouldn’t work to let me play the entire game, yet to took the money for it? Starting to NOT trust BlackoutBingo anymore! Nice way to treat your users who deposit money to play. Take their money then not let them play due to an app issue! 🤬

by Gracie_924

This apps is just a game for fun! If you are thinking you can win big amount of money, NO! BlackoutBingo is not the right one for you. I’ve tried many times to win at least $5 but it didn’t happen. If you are going to deposit the minimum amount which is $2 you can win atleast once in which is less than $1. Usually you win 60 cents because if you will play for $1 they will not give you the $1 dollar but 60 cents only because the 40 cents it will split into two for Blitz and Developer. I tried to deposit again $2 then $10 it sooo imposible to win evem just $5. I notice when I review the video of me and the opponent, we have the same card but they gave us different bingo number. Most of the time my opponent can fill the card bingo faster than I! Why? because they gave bingo numbers to them which is they have in their card. Most of the time i just got lower points even i tried to click faster 😔😢😢😢. I notice also some of my opponents always pending, it took how many hours before they finish the game. This is scam!!! but if you are looking an apps just to play and have fun Blitz is for you I’m sure you will enjoy every game without spending any penny.

First of all, yeah, this is gambling, and there’s no transparency involved, which is sketchy. You have to trust that you’re playing against other real people and that the game is matching you up fairly. If that’s a problem, avoid.

I toss in a few bucks here and there and manage to play for quite some time on it. Haven’t won big enough to bother cashing out yet; I consider the small amount I’ve deposited to be along the lines of paying for a game I enjoy. Fair enough.

However, the tiered tournaments often move excruciatingly slowly. You have 24 hours to come back and play your next match each time you move up a tier, so one slow player can stretch out the game for DAYS, and no one can get their prizes until the whole thing’s over. I get that people have to be given a fair amount of time to come back and play, but there has to be a better way. Maybe cut the return time from 24 hours to 12? Today is March 8 and I’ve been stuck on round 4 of a $3 Blackout Battle waiting for an opponent since the 6th, and of course I can’t start another $3 tournament until I place in the current one. It’s too much waiting and dawdling for a $3 game. Seems counterintuitive to make players sit around and wait when they might otherwise throw in a little more money.

by Bludva

So this game can be addictive. You can win several games in a row then suddenly have a looong losing streak so be mindful any money you deposit can go really fast. I’ve learned to take a break after several wins to prevent me from losing money too quickly. My only real complaint is that you can add a banking card or paypal to deposit money but when it comes time to withdraw any money you have won you can’t withdraw it to the same card or your paypal that you used to deposit money in the first place. they send you a check instead?? In an age where everything is electronic and online cause its faster you lose customers because of this minor flaw. its a pain to wait for a check then go to a bank to deposit it especially when you need the money quickly. its almost as if they want to keep the money you deposit and the money you win cause they know you dont want to go through alot of trouble to take the money back out of BlackoutBingo .

I’ve been playing this game for a month or two now. I see their ads and laugh. The 3 women under a tree and one wins $200 spent $120 to win that! I can’t afford that kind of money on a game, but have won a little here and there. I love the game. I made a deposit to my skillz account and it was lost. Customer service was super kind and helpful. They found it and all is perfect now. My issue is if you want to win big bucks, you have to spend big bucks. If you just want to play bingo for fun, then this game is for you. You won’t get rich in cash, but you will keep your mind sharp! Try 3 cards! Suggestion? Please add money games that win a smidge more like pay $.50 and win $.50, etc. I’d play more money games if that was the case. I’d give 5 stars but can’t until the winnings are better. Thanks for a great game!

Update: I've won $50 on a $4.50 cost. That was great. Hey developers! Can you add more winning bingos like postage stamp or corners? Just asking. I know this is Blackout Bingo but I've had those bingos but they don't count. Thank you for listening!

by Serenasheri

I love bingo but this Game takes it to a whole new levelI f you have nothing to do this is the game for you becauseYou can spin hours on and have fun every tournament and the prices are great to the music is really cool different game boards in the time and gives you is really fun and the characters to even the game announcer voice is very soothing again get this game download it you won’tRegret it Five⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ((Update)) my last Boards have been so bad only getting two numbers out of 20 numbers on the board I feel there’s a problem and this is happened more times than I can count and the announcer is calling numbers that aren’t even on my board except for maybe two The last game I played it glitched at the very end but the counter was still counting down with no problem what the heck If this continues I will uninstall and delete BlackoutBingo i’m very disappointed☹️👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾?? ((Update 2)) so far so good the game play is a lot smoother will keep updates coming.

This is a neat way to play Bingo! The faster you daub, the more credit you get. I like the practice feature of BlackoutBingo. Of course you can play for money, if you don’t mind making a deposit. You can win trophies for playing. The challenge is to not daub the wrong number. You will be penalized. The people at Skilz are all for player happiness. I have played enough for a Skillz sticker. And because my address was entered incompletely, they sent me two stickers. How cool is that?! I am still having such a great time playing bingo this what way. I played so much I am developing a raw area on my right wrist. It challenges me to move faster which is good. One issue I have with the game itself is waiting for my opponents score. There seems to be some lag here and I have to wait or just choose to move on to another game. But I keep coming back. So I guess I’m having a good time.

I keep coming back

Although BlackoutBingo itself seems to put a big dent in my battery usage, I still enjoy the bingo. The number display is quite large. So, due to a vison impairment, I have an easy time reading them, although the font style does cause confusion between 6’s and 8’s. It’s not enough to deter me. BINGO on!

Yes I’ve had this game app for over a year and at first I lost money. It’s not the apps fault it’s my own because I wasn’t good enough to be playing for serious money. Once I regrouped and played a ton of practice rounds I started seeing the W’s. This is a skill game that requires you to move fast and use everything to get the max out of it. You wanna cash out 1,000 bucks a month it’s very doable but it’s not just gonna happen magically. You just aren’t that good to instantly start competing with the vets on this game. So don’t get on here belly aching about how you lost your deposit when you really weren’t ready to be putting money on here. Now you want to blame everyone but yourself because you underestimated the competition and got beat. That’s no one’s fault but yours. Practice for free,get your game tight,& then you will see the results you want. BlackoutBingo pays and makes plenty to go around. They don’t need to cheat you out or the ten bucks you think was magically gonna turn into rent or a car payment. You are the scam not them. Getting in here crying when it’s your own fault you got beaten. All they did was tell you they’d match your first deposit or offer some other FREE incentives. Be ready for competition when you step up to play because BlackoutBingo isn’t responsible for the person who beat you that takes it more seriously and is better then you.

After playing 50 or so games I have determined this game to be a Rigged/scam and before you scroll past this review please take the time to read over why I have stated this.
The first match you dive into doesn’t offer any assistance or tutorial on how to play and boost your points so you screwed until you figure out how, but even if you figure out how to boost your points it won’t make a difference because even if you get 7 bingos all across the board other players still get more points than you’ll . I deposited $10 because of a promo the game offered which was deposit $10 get an additional $15 so 25 in total. I played the 60 cent games because any of the higher bets I would absolutely lose no matter if I blacked out the entire board.(which is unfair) this game is a complete money grab if I’ve ever seen one but if you still don’t believe anything you’ve just read try the game for yourself and watch your money dwindle away.

I just really enjoy being stale at this game at best. They can control outcomes no doubt. Hear me on this. You may win 50% of the time. At best. If someone is good at something they would excel. You will not move up on this game. They slowly siphon the 5 or 10 bucks you have every couple days and that’s why they have a ton of money. Good luck! I’m cheering for you! One more thing. I felt bad for such a terrible review and I thought I had sent this yesterday but here it is. Waiting for me to write something else: I just got ALL my last card full. First time. And I received around 39,000 some odd points. High score for me. Answer me this. I have never seen such a high score. On that same game, my opponent beat me somehow. They ALSO got ALL OF THEIR NUMBERS. I lost that game! Question is, how the heck is that even possible. All the games I’ve played here. Finally a blackout. Same with my opponent. Can someone hire a forensics expert in numbers and tell me the odds of that happening. This is such a joke. Enlighten me. If you would be so kind. This is an outrage. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Disregard everything I said. I’m starting to see some payoff. Perfectly legit.

understand that you are gambling. this is the easiest and safest way to play games for money during the pandemic. this allows disabled people to have fun too. i enjoy the prizes and the competition. with bingo its all about paying attention and remembering where your numbers are so you can get the maximum benefit during boosts. i highly encourage anyone who likes to gamble to try skillz because it allows you to donit whereever you are, not even on the go. play at your own risk but it surely is alot of fun. also, their support team is the greatest and very responsive. ive hqd countless times my game aborted, froze or my phone died and i was unable to compete due to either a malfunction of their software, my phone messing up or whatever the case may be. they are honest and can help you if you are also honest about your issues. i got every refund and i enjoyed 5 giftcards and prizes now. enjoy! use promocode MISTERPEANUT88 to enjoy $30 of bonus cash on 2 deposits to play! when you make your first deposit its only $20 added as bonus but the next time you add funds we will both get $10 bonus cash! Good luck!

Playing with real money keeps it interesting and the fact that you can play with no money as well makes it easier on beginners like myself. I have started playing for real money though and at first I felt like I was just barely breaking even but I started spending a little more money to play in events and to play in the brackets and I’ve won a few hundred already and have a check coming in the mail for my winnings I cashed out. I like that you can keep some of your winnings in BlackoutBingo and only have to cash out what you want to that way you still have money to play with. So far I have quite a few of the other SKillz games on my phone and I absolutely love playing all of them but this game in particular is my favorite. It has lots of other people playing at all times so it doesn’t long for events and matches to finalize so that your account can be credited for your winnings. Give it a try but practice before you play any cash games because you’d be surprised at how good some people are and might lose your money if your not prepared for a challenge. All in all I highly recommend BlackoutBingo

by Carolinagal61

I could go on for an hour about this company and the games. It is unlike anything I have ever had the pleasure of participating in. PLEASE, check it out. You have nothing to loose. It s fair, because your matched with another player with the same skill level. There are many games to choose from so you kind find what interests you personally. You can play for money, but you don’t have too. But it sure is fun when you win !!!!! 😃. Trust me when I say this game site is not like any other. I have won multiple times. But I also don’t always play for money. There are GREAT prizes you can obtain by redeeming your tickets. Through these tough times we are all going through, check it out. It has brought joy to me, and it will to you as well. You will not be disappointed. Great player support staff and always willing to help the player with any questions or concerns. THANK YOU to ALL of the SKILLZ staff for your creation and having a game site that cares about their players. I’m in for life. Keep up the great work your doing!!!!!
Sincerely, Pamela Trammell

I started using BlackoutBingo last week and have had more fun than I expected - it’s quite addicting actually. I’ve been practicing using their “Z’s”, which you can earn free and play with for free. I wanted to get real good before starting to play with real money.

However, last night I had an issue with BlackoutBingo freezing up and then giving me a bogus WIFI error message at the end of the game, after it showed my score, and was pending the next screen where it shows if I won or lost against my opponent. My wifi connection was great, even though BlackoutBingo said it wasn’t working - I checked on another app of theirs and there was no WIFI issue there, so it was obviously a bug on this BINGO app. I contacted them right away, screenshots attached to show that it was pending and that the other persons score was lower than mine had been. They didn’t respond until after the game “timed out” and marked me as “aborting” the game. I have spoke with several Skillz support people throughout the day, and although they happily credited me my pay-in amount, they refuse to pay my winnings, or give me credit for the league standings, experience points, etc.

If they won’t give me my earned winnings on a free game, you better believe they wouldn’t do it with real cash games. So sketch. I love this game, but won’t be giving them a penny. I’ll find another BINGO app to give my money to.

by Mel& Rell

If you want to play just for fun it’s great but money wise it’s kinda messed up that at times you don’t win your full price not even the 60 cents. I have taken a pics of my balance and when I win it’s not the 60 cent you’re supposed to get. Also I noticed if you won like 2 or 3 times next thing you know when you play you hardly get any number on your card or you feel one or 2 line colors it won’t give you different numbers. It will keep giving you numbers from that color line which you already bingoed it so there is no number to use any more. For example I did a bingo on my purple line and green line it it will keep giving me purple color numbers or green which you can’t use because you finished it all. I have played a whole 50 seconds without a different color number but the same one which makes me kinda annoyed. I have money in here but once I lose it all I’m not depositing again. It is fun so just play without money and if you want the challenge I suggest only do it once in a while

by Nomad1Lion

I played this game and got to black tier. It was addicting and I lost more money than when I gambled in Vegas. I played many games during Christmas to get $100 bonus cash. Well, you forfeit bonus cash when you withdraw and any winnings you make don’t deduct from the bonus cash. I don’t understand the point of having a ticket and bonus cash system. Obviously it’s for skillz to make more money off us but I just felt a certain way about it.
Also, I would check my challenger when I had a blackout bingo with a super high score, I’d always lose to someone that was level 100 and rank in the top 100. It just didn’t seem like they were real (it will not always show you the recording of the game to see how the other player beat you) and they were not within the realm of my league. The top players have been the top players since I started playing in November. I cracked the top 500 I think but that got me bonus tickets only. I really wanted to make just a little extra cash but I’ve lost a couple hundred. Oh well.

by Thegamerisgood

I’ve been playing a few weeks now and I gotta say I love the fact it’s based on skill. Can’t get much fairer! You and your opponents get the same cards or card. It’s all up to you to figure out what boosts to save for when, where and why..lol.. I play at .60 so it takes me a bit to collect a decent balance at a .40 profit but the higher amount you play the bigger the profits. I just want to build up a little till I play for more. I am up about $11 so far. My husband plays 21 blitz (same app developer) so you can link your skills account and play any of their many many games with your balance. (You must download it game) I like that as well because you don’t have a massive app of unwanted games and you can pick the ones you favor. I am so happy I found a fair fun, exciting game to play. Can’t believe I haven’t found this sooner!

I’ve seen several poor reviews for BlackoutBingo. I think it’s because the advertisements for this game are really misleading. Are you going to make $700 from this game? No, probably not. Possible! But the two days I’ve been playing this I’ve earned about $20! This is based on luck and your accuracy and speed. You have the option to gamble real money. You don’t have to though. It’s a pretty charming game. You don’t need to worry about crazy ads popping up every 2 minutes. The matches are super quick too. There are also chances for higher rewards depending on your ranking. There’s all kinds of fun matches. The only con I would probably say is that once in a while BlackoutBingo suddenly kicks you out, but you get your money back if you report a bug to the team. They’ll help you out. Remember though- this game isn’t going to make you wealthy. Good pocket money though! Also it’s addicting. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.
