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.
