Strike By Skillz Pro Bowling Reviews

Literally just the worst company you could ever deal with. It takes 60% wins to break even. The whole matchmaking is a scam to try and make sure everyone wins half the time and slowly loses their money. If you get good enough to make money, they’ll stop letting you find many matches. Withdrawing is a huge pain and it takes forever to get your money with a lot of annoying steps to get there. Their customer service is understaffed and the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with in anything in my life. Literally impossible to get a question answered. You’ll get a generic response that’s completely irrelevant to what you asked and it takes weeks for responses sometimes. The live chat agent isn’t able to tell you anything meaningful. Just the worst gaming experience possible because of them and how they work, and this is coming from someone who has made a lot of money from them. Plenty of people making money have quit because it’s not worth the headache they put you through.

It will not end well....... StrikeBySkillzProBowling will entice the user to play 1st for points then for cash. Once playing for cash it will pit you against others - mind you will be playing BOTS that every 2nd game is already decided before you even play. So you will seem like you are winning and granted I did will over $3000, but I lost $3001 of the $3001 - I put into the game around $750. So they got me for a total of $750 of my own $. As you play you will find your game starts to go poorly and chalk it up to how you are using the finger or the speed - but little did we know that based on how long and what level achieved will all make it more difficult to improve your score and once you change the technique it happens again. I can assure you that there are not thousands playing this game - otherwise how could it take hours or days to find a challenger - at any level especially a beginner. I could go on and on - this company should have to go before an auditing firm to show the payouts to legit players - my guess it is less than 1 in 1000. I will bet anyone who wants $100 that after playing 100 competitive money games they will not be ahead. You will loose your shirt and car and house on StrikeBySkillzProBowling. It should be taken down.

I have played this game for a while I lost over 100 dollars playing this game typically score an average of 267 unless you can consistently hit higher than 280 then you are throwing your money away and I know the game is rigged they match you up with the best players if you win a couple then lose a couple sometimes make profit then lose what you made if this sounds familiar it is because it is rigged. I have through a couple of perfect games and still lose more than I win the fact that I hate the most is that the owners gain $.20 off of each dollar played so as they say people have won millions of dollars they are guaranteed to have made at least $.20 off the dollar so I hope you enjoy making the rich richer because that is were your money is going. Stop playing and withdraw your funds it’s not worth losing to make someone else rich.

I don’t usually write a review but though I have to do it this time because I don’t want to see anyone become their next victim. So I deposited money and have been played for 3 months. I ended up winning almost $800. Everything was fine until I made a withdraw request. They didn’t want to pay out so they just blocked my account for no reason. There was no notice or explaination, just right after I want to withdraw my money and boom... my account got suspended. Horrible customer service ever!!! Never got a respond from them to even understand what was happening. I don’t think any winner actually receive a check from them. The withdraw processing took forever and trust me, they will try everything to block or suspend you even you didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t waste your time and money for StrikeBySkillzProBowling. Totally a scam and terrible people to deal with.

This was a great game. Pin action was good. Update went in and now the ball is sluggish, the pin action is nothing like real bowling. If you don’t have a perfect hit leaves splits you have never seen. If you don’t bowl fast enough the tutorial hand comes up and moves back and forth when you are trying to align your shot. There is nothing good about this game. If you are hoping to make money, don’t use StrikeBySkillzProBowling!

I making an update to previous review. It has only gotten worse with every update they do. Pin action is sloppy and they have gone out of their way to leave a 6-7 split as often as possible. I have written to them and haven’t bothered to respond which makes one think they don’t care.
If you’re going to play this game, only use the free tokens. Don’t invest any of your own money. Good luck if you choose to not heed my warning.

I’ve been a candlepin bowler most of my life, now 65, so when an app company finally comes out with a candlepin bowling game naturally I was excited. Since I thought StrikeBySkillzProBowling was very good bowling 10 pin I had high hopes for the candlepin version. It didn’t take long before my excitement turned into disappointment. While the graphics are write up there with the best of them the pin physics are not realistic. As someone else noted the pins simply don’t fall as you’d expect with a history of candlepin bowling. The amount of splits that occur is way too high and there have been numerous times when pins should’ve fallen from being nudged. I’ve seen fallen pins going through standing pins and not knocked it down. Pins don’t roll as freely once knocked down as they do in the real game either. And perhaps the most irritating thing about the game is how many times I have to throw the ball before it will finally roll down the lane. It’s taken me as many as five times throwing the ball before it finally went down the lane. UNACCEPTABLE! There is one other bowling game that has the candlepin version and while it’s not “as good” as this one, at least I have no problem throwing the ball.

Recently, the game’s updates have made the game far less enjoyable than it used to be. Not only is there often game lag even with no apps running in the background, but half the time the game cannot recognize the speed of my swipes and sends the ball down the lane super slowly. Honestly, the new design of StrikeBySkillzProBowling and the game is the only thing the developer seems to have improved upon/gotten right. I used to know how to aim the spin and where to line up the ball for the oil patterns but a new update completely eradicated those patterns I had recognized. I no longer play in cash games (which I know for a fact depletes the amount of money the developer earns! *hint hint*) because I cannot trust myself or the game to get anything over a 120. I used to be able to consistently bowl in the 230s-240s or higher, along with most of my opponents, but it seems like everyone has been duped by the developer recently. Please fix these issues as soon as possible so I can continue to play in cash games and tournaments and enjoy the game once again! Right now, not recommended for anyone!

This game is really fun and entertaining, especially when there’s nothing to do. However this game needs to work on a few things. The pin physics is ok but not realistic, whenever you hit in the pocket or light pocket it just leaves a lot of splits, like a 4 10 or a 4 5 7. I think that the pins need to be more realistic and not slide like rubber. If you throw a curve or a hook ball you will notice that it rolls realistic, but when it gets to the pins it doesn’t drive through the pins and as a result, splits and barley any strikes. I giving this game 3 stars because there are not a lot of ads. If the creator can fix the pin action this game would be 10x better.

Update: I think the new update is good but not that great. In the new update it seems 200 games are rare and I fell in to that too I mean you need at least one double and keep clean (making spares no open frames) to shoot 200. I think this is because the pin physics are still not realistic and what I mean by that is the ball gets to a good roll and hit ether in the light pocket or just the pocket and leaves a lot of splits like a 5-7 or 5-10 seriously? Another cause of no 200 game is the ball speed, sometimes when you swipe your finger up like you do, sometimes the ball just doesn’t have the velocity to carry the light hits the ball just moves like a turtle. I think that the developers need to take more time on their game and make it a lot better so people would enjoy more, Other than that good game.

You can do the same thing every time and it still gives you splits. You’ll win some, but you’ll loose more than you win. For instance if you play for $1.00 you automatically pay $0.60 and if you win you get your $0.60 cents back and $0.40 cents as a prize. So you have to win twice to double you money. Its a joke. Its glitchy and half the time they don't reimburse you when there are glitches. The advertisements show the same 4 people every time - which goes to show how many users on StrikeBySkillzProBowling actually win money. DO NOT DEPOSIT MONEY INTO THIS GAME!

On $1.00 games they rake in $0.20 per game. Each player pays $0.60 ($1.20 total) and the winner only get a dollar if they win = $0.20 for the company. Its a joke. Please save your money. Even though you probably wont see this - I’ve lost over $200 easily on high hopes.

I like the new update; however, I agree with the splits issue. You can throw the exact bowl 10 times, the same exact way... you will have 5/10 earn a strike, and if not, it’s a split that just wouldn’t happen in real life.

You can absolutely make money playing this game - the developers and company are profiting (and fantastic for them) a lot - I know the community who is consistently in here, and many feel this...

It is getting to the point where it’s not fun anymore. The skillz tech/customer support team that reallllllly needs improvement. Maybe there just aren’t enough players (though I doubt that’s the case), maybe the algorithm for matching players needs improvement, or maybe they need to tier and make another league (or similar idea). We want to spend money, of course win but understand that’s the gamble, literally; however, if you don’t bowl a perfect game, unless your opponent has an off match, you will lose.

This game is really fun to play and I love that you can win real money. The gameplay is nice and there’s plenty of events to enter. The look of everything is nice and the prizes are great too.
I do have a few suggestions, but I want to say first, I think the devs are focusing on the right things, making sure everything is fair and runs smoothly. I think that is great.
My only complaint is that there’s no way to customize anything, I wish you could earn medals or something to show off on your avatar or through your profile. I wish you could change your ball or earn or buy new ones. (Maybe even offer different stats on different sized balls or something, but that may take away from the fairness of the game) but to be able to customize would be nice. I also wish we could see a replay of the other player in pvp games. And being able to save replays would be nice.
I really think the game is great, and like I mentioned, I think the devs are focusing on keeping things running right before they work on the pretties, but it would be nice to see some creativity thrown in there. To see it polished off like that would make me give that last star ⭐️

I have been a member since June and all I have to say are all POSITIVE things about the game, but above all, I have to hand it to the customer service, and all the other contacts involved in helping with keeping StrikeBySkillzProBowling up to 100% perfection! Every person I have had the pleasure of speaking with has been above and beyond professional, extremely helpful and goes beyond my expectations with helping me in and on all areas I needed assistance with. I just can’t express how much I enjoy StrikeBySkillzProBowling and other games from the developer. Hands down, no other app/company/developer can hold a candle to SKILLZ!! Thank you all for everything you do and always continue to be amazing!

Excellent game for passing time and some friendly betting. You can make some money too, once you get your game up to par! What else is pretty awesome is that, the levels as far as difficulty, never change. No matter ur skill level or the amount ur betting. Once you’ve basically mastered the lanes, u can become a serious competitor and like I said, win some extra cash!! The only thing that differs is the skill level of the player ur matched up against, but the game seems to pair you with gamers basically in the same skill level as you, so it makes for a good, fun, competitive match, with some gas money for the for the week if u win!!!

I’ve been searching for bowling games I can play on my phone. I’m an amateur bowler IRL, and I can tell you rn that the physics of this game are very close to what they are on an actual lane. The game takes oil patterns, RPM, ball speed, and lineup into account. The pinfall tends to be somewhat unrealistic, in the sense that pins don’t fall in the game when they definitely would on an actual lane. I understand it’s a game tho, and won’t be perfectly representative of real bowling. If you don’t wanna play, you can always just do practice league on the game, which is free. Like it so far!

Okay, this will be a long story. Many flaws, errors, and cheats my opponents use against me are in this game. But good additions cancel most of those out. There are still a few ways I can demonstrate the fact the game is glitchy and bugged. Not always but sometimes.

So once I was playing, fun time, yay yay yay, haha, enjoying the game. I threw a ball and was disappointed as it went into the gutter. I then threw my second shot and it went straight down the middle! I thought I would get an 8, maybe a 9, a strike could happen but was very unlikely. It hits all but the 7 and 10 pins. They do flips, which were so aesthetic, and then land PERFECTLY IN THEIR PLACES. Not perfectly but pretty close. And they stay. So I’m here thinking “Well, not all bad, right? I hit them! I got an 8. Right? Yahoo?” when I got a 0. Super annoying.

And my other time I was playing, yay, hahahah beat my friend, stupid idiot, and then I threw a ball. This time, it went my way. I got a very big spin, and it hit the 7 pin. Only the 7. Yet when the 7 was hit, it knocked down the 8, which knocked down the 5, 4, 6, 2, 3, 1, 9, 10.. all in a line. Like before, it was very aesthetic. I enjoyed it, a strike was nice.

So that’s my review.

Let me start by saying your game has been truly lifesaving for me. I’ve been dealing with depilating Rheumatoid Arthritis since May of 2023. Since I’m currently unable to physically bowl in an alley right now “Strike! By Bowlero” is providing me great joy when I play!! I think it would be a good idea if we could play some of our friends directly at times. You know like send a request to invite some friends to play one on one matches. You can accept or decline to play the match with no penalty for declining. Maybe one Saturday or Sunday. Anyways……it’s just a thought. Thanks for listening & stay blessed.

Awesome game. If you practice (and I mean really practice) you can get pretty good and win some money at the cash games. You hear about all these different bingo games where you can win real money but I’ve won more playing bowling than any other online game. At first it may seem like the prizes you can get for trading in your tickets are unobtainable (some are millions upon millions of tickets). But when you work your way up the tiers they start to become within reach (moving up the tiers multiplies your ticket winnings up to 6x). This works across all Skillz based games and is interconnected. So yeah, I highly recommend this game and Skillz in general. So far Skillz is the only legit company I’ve found when it comes to online games where you can win real money (with the exception of online casinos but that’s a different animal entirely).

Strike bowling is a Blast!! I use to bowl in an amateur bowling league mostly for fun and also because my dad and brother were also bowling in it. I had a 185 average and we won 2 out of the 4 seasons we bowled there. So much fun! Strike bowling brings back so many fun memories! And it’s quite a fun game as well.
One thing I would say though is there are a lot of splits that I get, my balls 80% of the time if day are hitting the pocket, that Strike zone and I end up getting many splits. Which is disheartening as it lowers your score significantly! Especially if you can’t pick up those splits, though I’d say it’s awesome when you do!!
I digress, the game is Amazing if you love to bowl!

This game is great. As a real life bowler it’s one of the more realistic games out there as far as pin action goes, but it’s still not amazing. I’d give it a 7.5/10 for realistic-ness.

The gameplay is quite fun, though it’s a Cash game you can play with Z tokens which don’t cost any money and are still quite competitive.

I wish they’d improve pin action by perhaps making the side walls bouncier or decreasing the weight of the pins. I leave so many 4-10 splits because the ball deflects and the pins just fall flat when they’d normally ricochet or roll further and have more force.

One thing to work on is if there an interruption it will not allow you to return to your game in progress. It will your game in progress it will show score pending completion, but there is no way to return. It could be a call, you could lose your signal, you could inadvertently hit the wrong button. You can’t return to your game in progress I think the game is great. Do you have plans to have it where you can select different equipment, multiple balls to select from in your bag when conditions change on the lanes? I really enjoy the game and play it quite often.
