FanDuel Faceoff Positive Reviews
Fun but puzzlingKing’s Cross is a novel puzzle game, which I have enjoyed as a chess player. Double move bonus is not worth making any extra moves, but keeping 2 squares open near the king will generally help you be more efficient.
Paid contest model makes no sense unless you are the very best player at a game (and maybe not even then). I had my first tie in Wheel today, and it turns out the winnings are split in this case, making both players net losers (I’d rather get a refund, like a push in betting).
I hope there might be innovation so that it actually makes sense to keep playing paid contests. Also, it would be nice to see, for a specific puzzle, say, the few top scores from players, rather than just the top/average of oneself and the opponent over all puzzles, as they vary by difficulty, etc..Silver83pVersion: 1.0.4
Great UI, Feels ScammyI've only played Solitaire Sprint and Block Trail. The design is great. I appreciate the clean interface in solitaire especially. They claim the games are fair but there is zero transparency. To break even you have to win 60% of your games. I've been playing solitaire for over 50 years and I'm pretty good at it but I'm right around 50%. It is impossible unless you're a genius, and even then I have doubts that anybody can get money out of. It appears the design is to prevent any withdrawals as opposed to the regular FanDuel app that is regulated and very fair.
Block Trail is a really cool game on the surface. Has this relaxing music in the background. Yet when you play you're facing an antagonistic computer opponent. It does not want you to succeed and holds all of the cards so to speak. In say a regular Tetris game, all the blocks are random. Not here. It gives you the worst blocks guaranteed. Playing this game is a really bizarre experience. My question is how are these betting games not regulated?.Brooklyn salsaVersion: 2.16.0
Not really for meIf you like going up head to head with people live this could be fun. Not really my cup of tea, but the games are fun and seamless if you don’t mind live competition. Stresses me out a little too much but nothing against the app’s design or layout. I tried all the games for free and they were fun, I just know I’d likely lose against people playing this stuff all the time.
Side note, I do enjoy the reviews of people saying they lose more than they win. Hello people, that’s nearly any game that involves betting. If you want professional odds, go to an actual casino and play blackjack, but even there if you win too much you’ll get noticed. It’s hilarious that people come into these apps thinking they will walk away with more than they put in. It happens of course, but rarely. The whole point is to make money for these companies or they wouldn’t even exist let alone develop more apps. Stop fantasizing..TrumpFan4everVersion: 1.7.4
Side hustle cash?You won’t make any. The algorithms created by its developers will not allow you to walk away ahead whatsoever. Sure you might catch a wave where you’re all of a sudden up a few hundred bucks. You can cash it out right away. But don’t think for a second that will ever happen again (especially after cashing out) until you lose 3x minimum of what you cashed out prior. Then maybe you’ll catch another wave… rinse and repeat. Basically it’ll get to a point where you enter a game, if the game thinks you’ve too much lately, it’ll only place users that get a higher score than you into that particular game in turn, they win you lose. You might get the highest score you’ve ever achieved and based on previous averages of past scores, this new high score “should” beat at least 99% of other scores. The game will wait for that 1%er to come and win. Honestly probably a computer playing against..GAM3R GLOV3SVersion: 2.12.0
Some outstanding games just for free play. Only risk money you expect to lose!The quality of some of these strategic arcade-style games is exceptional, like block trail. As always with such games, the details are key — board size, frequency/predictability of shapes, time limit, and the like. But, it is a matched system so don't bet money unless you expect to lose it!! The system automatically matches you against people of similar score history who have a good chance of beating you. In other words, imagine your scores average in the top 1% of all players...you'll be playing against another top 1% person online. If there's no one else top 1% online at that moment, you'll be up against the next best competitor available...and so on. So just because you're good doesn't mean you're gonna win all the time.
Other highlights in terms of game quality alone:
-Buena match (fun memory game, not too easy, not too tedious).
-Scrabble Cube (excellent ui, very intuitive, good brain game combo working those spatial & linguistic cerebral muscles)
-the sports-themed games are more nuanced than you'd expect. Spieth Fairway is pretty good, and, so is Gronk Spike cornhole...aside from the very annoying animated interludes i hope they ditch..Fx1085Version: 2.13.0
A little glitchy, but great overallI’ve had a great time on the app! I’ve been using it a few months now. The best advice? Cash out once in a while. Don’t just keep betting your winnings because you might lose them. It’s gambling! I do agree that the matchup with unknown players of unknown skill levels is a bit sketchy. The fix: invite your friends! You both will get some free money when you challenge them and you’ll know exactly who you’re playing with. I also hate when my wager is lost bc the app glitches. When that happened, I contacted customer service and got a response within 30 minutes that my wager would be credited back to my account. No problems there. They don’t offer a cash out option to your debit card, but you can login to FanDuel Sportsbook and withdraw instantly from there..DsantanakyVersion: 1.4.1
Great Game HOWEVERThis is a great game and concept where I can bet my money against a random player, however the skill based matchmaking NEEDS to go. I get skill based matchmaking in most online games, but when we are betting money the matchmaking needs to be random. If i am better than 90% of online players in a certain game I should win 90% of the time and have money to show for it. I should not be matched up with the top 10% of the competition where all the best players trade money with each other. Chumps shouldn’t be given free wins. If I wanted to play for fun I wouldn’t be betting money. The point of this app is to bet and win real money meaning we should be able to do that against random opponents to increase the incentive to actually be good at the game!.ZbensingVersion: 2.1.0
Technical issues, incorrect location, not allowed to deposit incorrect deviceI’m in West Virginia but cannot deposit. He told me that I can access the game even though I’m not even if I’m not in state that allows it even though it needs my GPS told me the device I was on on an iOS 26 when it’s iOS 26.0.1 previously it was in the iOS 18.7. I don’t know who’s device that was not allowed to deposit money to face off, even though I was allowed to play money games and withdrew after winning. he could not tell me where I was located at but to turn the game on I have to be I have it on precise location. I don’t know but I’m not even sure I’m logged into your game whenever I go onto the casino application it’ll come up once for the free spins and then it’ll come up over top of that for the free spins with the same screen, there’s an overlay on it.Teresa Miller$Version: 2.28.0
Fun, but watch out.The games are fun and you CAN make money. But once I get on a roll with a particular game, I get matched against the same mysterious person and they put up impossible numbers. I can match make incredibly fast and rifle off 4-5 games and they’re all against the exact same person who is getting a perfect score everytime. This happens over the course of a day or two. I put the game down for a day, come back, win a bunch and then again - that same mysterious person that always gets a perfect score or near perfect somehow right when I start winning again.
I have made a little money. Nothing really crazy and hardly worth mentioning. Download for some fun and STOP when they start cheating..BigBucFanVersion: 1.8.2
ScamThere should be transparency showing who you are playing against, BOTH players should start at the same time and you should be able to see how the other player scored. Imagine playing blackjack or poker and never being able to see the other players cards after the game. Dealer says you lose…trust us. Waaaaaay to high rake for FanDuel. Should be 5% max. No more deposits from me. And now it doesn’t let you see the stats of who you played against and it also removed the easy to see win/loss history of your past games. Getting even more suspicious. Statically it seems very odd (impossible?) I could win 8 games in a row and then immediately lose 8 games in a row. That is a clear sign the outcomes are alogrymically controlled and not a game of chance..Melting fireVersion: 1.1.1
Stars lostYou lost 2 stars for taking away the daily shot. Although it only made 15 to 50 cents for making the daily shot/swing/put/kick (whatever seasonal sport was being promoted that time) it definitely added up. It’s how I funded my football season bets. Now they have done away with the daily shot challenge, making this app essentially worthless for the purpose I used it for. Going head to head with an opponent is pointless because the level of skill it takes to excel against a constant gamer (seemingly always my competitor) takes lots of free practice shots to be able to compete. I play a lot of online 1v1 games but for some reason the competition on this app is on another level from any other game I’ve tried..CyrusSMDVersion: 2.34.0
Fun but FrustratingI absolutely love being able to wager a little over a fun mini phone game. My issues with this rely heavily on the matchmaking. There are far too many times where it feels like no matter how well I do, I’m going to lose to a pre determined matchup. I play the same 4 people day in day out as my average is amongst the higher tiers. Namely, “tyschmidt” who I pray is not the real Ty Schmidt cuz why would he want my 60 cents?
Anyways, the performance of the app will randomly go down the drain as well in the middle of a paid game. If I’m lining up a shot and activate a power up like 2x, the game will drop frame rates TERRIBLY and make the game impossible to play as it’s entirely timing based. So this needs a performance fix desperately and a rework to the SBMM (skill based matchmaking)..LlamasLickMeVersion: 1.1.1
Sometimes Good, Mortly SuspiciousI’ve been playing this game for a while and I’ve seen many suspicious incidents. Mostly, the game only gets glitchy when I play $3 and $5 games. When that happens, I very regularly lose only because of the eew missed shoes from the glitching. I’ve also seen scores be entirely too close to be real. This system will allow some nice wins to happen but then it’ll be a losing streak. Also, the “video replays” are usually only a partial replay and usually the score is nowhere close to where it should be for the opponent to win. I still play it but this company makes enough money where they can easily afford to play fair but they don’t..Dkyates79Version: 2.30.0

FanDuel Faceoff Negative Reviews
100% Chance You Won’t WinFirst off, please do not fall for the 4.7 rating, it is a complete lie. There is absolutely no way real customers are giving this app that high of a rating. Any rating of four or five stars is without a doubt fabricated by AI or the people at FanDuel Faceoff. It’s really not that hard to tell lol.
Second, before you think about downloading this app, take a second and do your own research and look up to see how many real people have made posts on social media about how they’ve won money from playing on this app. A little hint: you won’t find anything, and that’s bc this app won’t let real customers actually win. All the money deposited into this app is kept by FanDuel. Anyone who is naive enough to think that people at FanDuel would play by the rules and be fair, are kidding themselves. People love to celebrate when winning, and you can’t find it anywhere on social media or online of folks saying “I won $20 from FanDuel Faceoff today!” Nothing. I find that very odd tbh.
And thirdly, there is absolutely no oversight for these apps, at least not yet. These apps are stealing millions on lies and false advertisement. Yes, I thought that was against the law as well. But when the people who are supposed to be enforcing the law are getting a piece of the pie, well it’s not that difficult to see why they’ve been getting away with it for so long..ChiefsKidz15Version: 1.7.5
So obviously riggedFun at first. Made some money. Then i realized the people you play aren’t picked before the game starts, the app judges your score and puts you against a higher or lower score depending on what your profits are. It’s obviously rigged for you to lose. I’ll score for example 90 points while only at $2 profit & the person i play only scores 88, then a next game i score 190 while at $20 profit but just so happen to go against someone scoring 210. It’s not a coincidence that when i get under 100 points i face someone else with low points, then when i get over 200 i face someone with over 300. Its happened dozens and dozens of times. How come when i have a horrible game i don’t happen to go against someone with a great game? or vice versa? I had 0 points one game while averaging 120 and happened to go against someone with only 80. Next game i get 181 and just happen to go against a 290. This happens back to back to back. Once you start making money it doesn’t matter how high you score because you will just be placed against a score that’s higher. UPDATE won 4 games in a row averaging 7000 points, next 5 games i’m up against people averaging 13,000+ points. Just so obviously rigged for you to lose..Kobe G DavisVersion: 2.31.1
DO NOT DEPOSIT ANY MONEY! I LOST MY $10 BECAUSE I USED MY DEBIT CARD!If you use a debit card you won’t get anything back unless you request a check. Can’t use PayPal or Venmo or anything to withdraw unless you deposit with one of those, only through your bank which it doesn’t take just about all credit unions, especially the ones that are more localized. If you have a bank account you’re more than likely are fine or if you can deposit through PayPal or Venmo. I tried to deposit through PayPal but the name didn’t match so it didn’t work (their own fault they only used one of my middle names so of course the identity doesn’t match 🙄). If you have 2 middle names don’t even get the app at all they will mess it up! I doubt my bank will even take the check since the wrong name is gonna be on it. What an absolute joke. Plus when you deposit $10 they give you a bonus and you get more bonuses if you play games, once you reach $10 in winnings you will lost just about all the games without fail. I know gambling is a scam but this is the absolute biggest scam of the planet! Don’t get this app and waste your money. Absolute joke!.Forestry2019Version: 2.26.0
Fraud FaceoffFairway Frenzy is a scam, i have never seen anything like this in my whole life. They say “oh we match you based on skill level” as if this is skill based matchmaking in call of duty…..MONEY IS AT STAKE! If a person feels confident to place .60 or $3 on a fairway frenzy head to head, thats their problem. Am i their mommy? Am i supposed to hold their hand? Soo basically if u win enough in a row theyll just put you up against people who r either playing on PC so they dont make mistakes even though the wind is blowing 30 mph OR they just dig a higher score out of a pool so u get beat by 2 points.
Yeah theres people playing Fairway Frenzy on a computer. That back and forth meter that u have to release every time you hit the golf ball…..theres people that stop the meter perfectly in the center with their mouse…while your bozoa$$ is swiping your thumb on your tiny phone screen. Their back and forth meter doesnt glitch at critical moments like your does lol. Thats all that matters! Its impossible to win on a phone against these people. Thats who they make you go up against if u go on any kind of win streak..Mabrey65Version: 2.19.0
Mixed BagThey get bent out of shape over things that just don’t really matter. My parents have accounts too. Last year, I started noticing that the app would initially have trouble starting after you turn your phone back on. That was before I realized you just have to constantly hit the ok button. So one day I gave my phone to one of them to log in. In June all of our accounts were suspended because of funding with the same name being connected to multiple accounts and because of device sharing. Sure, ignorance isn’t an excuse. They eventually reactivate the accounts. Ok, cool. But then they permanently block the personal phone that I had from making any bets whatsoever. So they essentially say, “we believe your explanation for the discrepancies flagged by our system, but you can’t use that personal phone for this ever again.” And that forces you to have to get a new personal phone—because of them getting so bent out of shape over something that just doesn’t really matter that much. It’s beyond ridiculous..TheFredMan2Version: 2.32.1
Rigged to the point it’s undeniableI have no idea how State Gaming Commissions have not filed charges and shut Fanfual down completely. They do not match you up with an opponent before the game starts. They match you up with an opponent AFTER the games end where they can specifically pick and choose whether you win or lose. They see the scores, and then they decide whether you win or lose. You can set all time high scores over and over and miraculously, your opponent will as well and beat you. And it’s usually by the most minuscule amount of points. Over. And over. And over. And over. So much so that it begins to be comical how blatant their cheating is. It is not a fair and balanced game where you are matched with a similar opponent. They have some ridiculous “matchmaking” formula that they never describe in detail.
This is not coming from a disgruntled gambler who lost fair and square. Fandual continuously stacks the odds against you to where it is impossible to win. This entire company needs to be shut down and I will be waiting right here for that class action lawsuit..Buffalove_716Version: 2.34.0
Total Scam Don’t Waste Your Time/MoneyThis app is such a scam it shouldn’t even be legal. It’s impossible to consistently win because the higher you score in a game, your opponents scores keep increasing (and who knows if your opponent is even real).
They say they match you with people of a similar skill level to “make it fair” but all that means is if you’re good you’ll win most games at first then your opponents scores keep increasing and you’ll end up winning about 50% of the time while these scam artists take 10-15% of the pot for every game. The whole thing is designed so nobody can consistently win no matter how good you are and they can keep stealing money for every game played.
If they just randomly matched you with whoever was playing at the time it would probably be worth using and the better you are the more money you’d make, but they’re too greedy and want to keep everyone playing longer so they make more money. Don’t give these scam artists your money, if anything they should be getting served with a class action lawsuit..Rondo1017Version: 1.7.4
Intermittent Reinforcement99% of players will never profit anything in the long run playing these games. You can win 10 games in a row and then immediately miraculously lose 11 games in a row, win 4 out of 5 and then lose 7 in row. Typical intermittent reinforcement scam that has been used by slot machines in casinos forever but unfortunately there is no chance of hitting a jackpot on this app and they take a 33% rake for your participation in their highly profitable con job. Overall I have won 1200 games total and I have lost 1350. I know several people with skill levels higher and lower than me that have this exact same win loss ratio. The app Skillz offers cash games with multiple gaming apps as well with this same type of intermittent reinforcement matchmaking algorithm but AT LEAST THE GAMES ON SKILLZ OFFER REPLAY VIDEOS OF YOUR OPPONENTS MATCHES!! FANDUEL HAS 100x MORE MONEY THAN SKILLZ THEY COULD EASILY PROVIDE A REPLAY VIDEO OF YOUR OPPENENTS MATCH, THE FACT THAT THEY DONT IS UNBELIEVABLE! It’s impossible to determine whether fanduel is using bots but im sure there’s a widely unknown reason why this app is illegal in over 20 states..Intermittently20Version: 1.6.0
Game Is A Scam!I’ve been using this app for a while, mainly playing the basketball faceoff game, and I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with what feels like an unfair and potentially rigged system. When competing against other players for real money, you should both be given equal tools and chances — but that’s not what’s happening here.
Players are clearly being given different power-ups, and some are much stronger than others. That completely undermines the fairness of a direct competition, especially when there’s money involved. On top of that, I kept getting matched with the same opponent during the 60-cent games. Strangely, they always seemed to stop scoring at a fixed point, which allowed me to win repeatedly. But when I decided to raise the stakes and play for $3, I got matched with the exact same user — except this time, they suddenly performed much better, far above their prior average.
This raises serious red flags about whether I was playing against a real person or a bot. It feels like the system is set up to let users win just enough to encourage them to spend more — and then quietly ensures they lose when the money gets real.
It’s no wonder I’ve seen people refer to this company as “ScamDuel” online. I’ve deleted the app and I’m seriously considering looking into legal options. I urge others to think twice before putting money into this platform. At the very least, there needs to be more transparency and fairness in how matches are structured..WhyDoINeedANickname93Version: 2.20.0
Don’t start playing its rigged against youYou can score almost a perfect score and then what they do is wait until someone has a higher score (this has happened multiple times) but that opponent is not playing the same game as you or I my case with free cell the same cards. I’ve asked customer service about if my opponent is playing the same exact games with same exact cards because in my opinion Some games are harder than others. And they couldn’t answer my question. I’ll go from having many different opponents online to all of a sudden waiting for hours then act like your opponent either played the same game as you or beat you. Which is not the case they’re just waiting for someone to have a higher score on an easier game(level of difficulty) My guess is the hav some sort of algorithm where it’s slowly drains you not to mention the win amount compared to bet is very small. For anyone who reads save your money or just make bets that are honest for you..TechniqueeeVersion: 2.10.0
Rigged Money GrabThis obviously just a way for Fanduel to make money without actually paying anything out. The winnings are smaller than the prize pool between 2 players, as Fanduel takes a cut of every game. The more you win, (especially on games like Scrabble Cubes) the harder it will get, giving you entire sides of the cube that have no vowels and make it pretty impossible to make words let alone high scoring ones. In these instances it will also put you against a newer player that the game generates easier puzzles for to get them hooked in. They will get 700 points on what has to be a completely different puzzle, unless they know words made up of all “T”s and “V”s, beat you every time, and then presumably get the mess of consenants that you were getting and lose whatever they made while Fanduel makes a couple bucks. Don’t install this app unless you want to play for free or make $3 one time. You’re better off setting up a lemonade stand in your front yard..Fanduel StinxVersion: 1.5.2
FRAUDS AND CHEATERSSTAY AWAY! I’ve submitted multiple games, and it says waiting for opponent, the game matches me with someone and my score either says - or “no score” when I did play, I have screenshots, I send everything to support and they offer no refund no help and no escalation, this app is a joke and so is the support never play this app and I’d advise staying away from the sports book too they have no rewards here and every other book has better lines and promotions , fanduel support is very unhelpful and will sometimes take months to get back I’ve used this app since it came out and there’s no chance you will make money unless you are the top 1 player at any game, i usually get top 5 in all of the tournaments for the game I play and lose constantly straight up due to the rigged matchmaking, please anyone reading this who thinks about playing here, don’t do it, if they let me post screenshots here of my conversations with support and the scores I would..YauahhahabahbabsbbVersion: 2.35.0
ShadinessSome things I’ve noticed that ALWAYS happen. 1) when you see bonuses for monthly play or daily play you’ll end up playing a bunch of games and you’ll get your bonus. But when you play your bonus $, 99% of the time you lose. 2) a lot of these games are very glitchy. Scrabble many times it lags so bad that it takes a second or two after you press a letter. Lost cause for you to complain about it and if you do, you’ll get an attitude from their customer service. They’ll ask for screenshots that won’t ever prove or disprove your claim. 3) MOST IMPORTANT: legitimately the WORST customer service in the history of paid apps. Multiple times I’ve had legitimate reasons to reach out. And every single time I get an attitude from their customer service. I get lied to. I get told I’m going to get credited money that never gets credited. My last issue I had to reach out five times. Finally on the fifth time they credited me my money back..ManOManOMan2014Version: 2.29.0
You won’t ever winThey say it’s skill based and assure you that it’s fair - then why do I lose to people over and over by scores way higher than any score I ever got. I can’t even verify that it’s correct because you cannot see anything your opponent does. Most people will never win with this app it is fun to play the games though. Additionally the rake is crazy high. What stops them from reserving a score close to yours and then letting one win one Tim then the next win the second time. If you win half the games the rake just keeps dwindling both parties money until once again you are adding funds. Also with the skill match I’m guessing I’m never lowered in skill because I have had some tough boggle boards and gotten lower scores but opponents scores seem so high.
One final thing the app says it’s rated 4.8 out of five but when you scroll through the reviews there are way more one star reviews then five star reviews what’s up with that.Re0318Version: 1.7.2
Do not play this app it’s a scamTheir match making algorithm isn’t explained I don’t even understand how it’s legal what they’re doing. Once you start winning a few games they change up their matching and it takes multiple hours before you’re matched to someone whose score is somehow always higher than yours even though you were consistently putting up winning scores days prior. They purposely try and keep you in the 50% win margin so they can take their 33% rake from a match. Players lose money by staying or just above a 50% win rate cause they match you with higher scores that aren’t real time heck they could even be bots. I’d recommend reporting fan duel to your local congress person because this is straight up fraud what they’re doing.
Also it’s glitchy and there customer service doesn’t work I have a great picture of there customer service just asking me 4 times what state I’m in.GummyberesVersion: 1.4.2
Absolute scamI signed up under a new user promo that offered a 100% deposit bonus within 72 hours. It has been over a week, I never received a bonus. The promo promised that I could withdraw my deposit at any time with no penalty, but when I tried to do so, it said deposited money must be played before it can be withdrawn. I had to request a refund. Customer service promised that if I did, I would still receive the bonus. I’ve spent hours talking to customer service, both to get a refund on my deposit, and to check on the bonus, which they have promised me each day for the last week, assuring me I am still 100% eligible per the terms and that it “should arrive later today.” The last person I spoke to said they will be reaching out via email.

Only one winner hereSuch a racket.
Seems like many complaints receive a boilerplate response vaunting the fairness of their matchmaking system. Suppose the system is as fair and accurate as they want to claim it is. The result: They will quickly find your level. Which is to say, you'll be pooled together with a group of players of comparable skill level. In the long term, how can you win 55-60% of your games (roughly the break even point, depending on the game stakes) against a pool of players who are roughly as good as you are? If the matchmaking system works, you won't. You'll win around half your games, give or take a couple of percentage point either way. And it won't help to get better at these "skill" games. As you improve, so will the caliber of players in your pool. The matchmaking system will ensure that.
Of course fanduel can claim this is "fair" in the sense that you will face similarly skilled opponents. They cannot claim it is fair in the sense that it is giving the typical player a real chance to win money. If the matchmaking system is as leveling as they want to claim it to be, over the medium to long term, you cannot win at the rate you'd need to win to overcome the leveling power of the matchmaking system.
In the mean time, they cash in on the addictive appeal of these games. Such a racket..Anonymous7245Version: 2.35.0
Perfect place to give away your money!I’ve been playing Fan Duel Faceoff since its inception and I think it’s a wonderful app for making Fan Duel cash hand over fist. They try to make you believe it’s on the “up and up”, but the only “up” here is the pure profit theses guys steal from their customers.
We’ve pretty much nailed down the algorithm they use to draw people in and get them to believe they have a chance to win something, but in the end the playing field is tilted towards the house.
I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this app to those bored rich people who have nothing better to do than waste their money away or for Parent company stock holders that just want to buoy their stock price by artificially inflating the reported gross revenues, but for the casual player or those that value their money, STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS APP … unless you have the fortitude to just play the free games and want to pass the time..SmilinjoePVersion: 1.8.2
Biggest scamHuge scam, you “play” the same person 20 times in a row, they always end up beating you by hundreds or thousands of points even though there is no other possible way to earn more points in the game you played so it doesn’t make sense. Don’t understand why skill match making is a thing when I play a game that may have harder letter cubes in boggle or crappy power ups in the basketball game. I can play a perfect game in the swish game and the computer beats me by 2,000 points. Unless they got better power ups than I did there is no possible way for them to win and they got an easier game than I did. Also hilarious the rating says 4.8/5 when there’s nothing but bad reviews? And even if they aren’t 1 stars they’re no better than a 3, I guess fudging your ratings is just as easy as scamming people into “skill based match making” to take their money.Marcina316Version: 1.7.2
ScamYou do not play another player. You play a cpu, you will win 2 out of like 10. Then when you win they compare your score to another player but they will find they highest score so they can take your money.
My biggest issue is with the game plays as it begins to glitch and cause they game to give you a lower score rather the free version. Game wont performance doesn’t match play. (Perfectly time throws coming out overthrown or hits being way harder than the game determined you did. I noticed when I began to win. They make it where it is impossible to win. If you out play the computer they just line you up with the highest scored player no matter how long it takes to set you up with a match like it’s delayed until a score can beat you. I had some where I’m waiting 30 mins for a matched player. Then just to see you barley lost . Again. Insanity.JohnnyDoloVersion: 1.7.2
Be careful! Too Easy to Accidentally play PAID games!I actually love the games. I play the free games and occasionally play a paid one. The problem is it is way too easy to click on a paid game. The free games are on the top of the list and they throw paid games to the top once and I’ve been guilty of not paying attention. The games need a safety feature, to ask if you really want to spend money from your account. If I want to buy a game on the App Store I have to click to confirm. I was trying to get back to the main menu and I paid for a $12 game of golf. If it just gave me a chance to cancel or asked me to confirm I would recommend this as a fun way to play some competitive games. But buyer beware! And they could also warn you when your promo credits are about to expire. Frustrating!.MadHockey99Version: 2.16.0
ScamI was originally going to leave a good review, because when you first download and play you actually do come up a few dollars, but then it gets old. After you receive your finally score from the games, it either says “open” or “playing”. What it seems like is their purposely not matching random people to play at the exact same time, because they look at your score, then match you with probably a bot with an higher score, so you lose. That’s not how these type of games are supposed to go, if the games are all titled “head to head”, you should be head to head with somebody not matched with somebody after your score is out. It went from a 50/50 chance of winning based on skill to a 10% chance of winning evening a dollar..Kaci10203Version: 2.19.0
Algorithm RIGGED against you.You are totally matched based on the points you score in that specific contest, NOT your overall skill level. There’s a difference.
You can wait for hours while the contest says “waiting for an opponent”, most of the time after putting up a high score. But when you put up a way lower score than what you usually do, you get matched up right away, to someone who averages way lower than you, and most of the time they end up barely winning against you. It’s like they want to encourage that other player to keep playing, to your benefit.
Fanduel will say they have no interest in your games, and don’t have any vested interest in which way the contest goes (they def. get their money’s worth) but the way the algorithm is rigged, they don’t need to worry about you making a profit.
And God-forbid your game glitches, and charge you extra entry fees, and you go to Fanduel Support with clear proof that it did, and they don’t give you your money back.
Oh, I’m waiting for the response to this review. “I’m sorry that this happened you, message our support team with your concerns and we’ll look more into it”. - sure..JayDee2145678Version: 1.3.2
Shouldn’t be legalI’ve been playing this game for a week now. Here is what I’ve figured out. You’re not playing some random person at the same time. So don’t even think you are going to beat everyone you play. You’re playing against a score that could have been played months ago. Which means the more you win the higher the score you’re going to have to beat. How do I know all this ??? Because I can start a game and end it way before it’s over and my opponent has miraculously finished their game!!! How is that possible?? Because their score is predetermined by how well you have been playing. FanDuel wants everyone to have a 50% winning percentage and rake in the game fees. Slow death to everyone’s accounts.
The games are fun but I promise everyone will be losing their account on Faceoff.
This should not be legal!!!!!!.87652971538484Version: 1.1.2
SCAMSCAM. Terribly misleading. Terrible customer service that takes multiple days to get someone that knows English or someone who knows what they are talking about. Has a rewards program so I thought I would give it a go because they advertise that if u earn a certain number of FDP a month then u get rewarded a certain amount of free play for the next month and in my case it was 250$ monthly free play and 50$ a week free play. When it comes time for ur free play they give u a voucher for a contest labeled “50$ weekly free play” so u enter that contest and how many people r in the contest? 60,000. What’s the top prize? 10$. Yes that’s right. You spend money to earn points to get these rewards that r advertised then they yank the carpet out from under you. It’s terribly misleading and very unfortunate. I thought FanDuel was better than this.UguysdidagreatjobVersion: 1.7.6
THIS APP IS A JOKE!!!!!! ESPECIALLY CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!!When I initially downloaded from a friends’ invite everything was going smoothly. Then I started noticing certain patterns in their algorithm. For example ( if you start winning too many times they’ll put you against one of their ai generated bots or they’ll leave your game in the que until someone with a higher score comes along). I actually enjoy playing the games that they have on here but I wouldn’t recommend anyone to bet any of their hard earned money. They also have the absolute worst customer support you will ever encounter!!! They’ll tell you that they have escalated the problem and to keep an eye on your email and the only email that you’ll receive is for you to rate your experience with the support you received (no real solutions)..Sean4621Version: 2.0.0
Not LegitI have been using this app for a few weeks. You start playing and win. Then once you get good at the games, score high and keep playing, it gets sketchy.
There’s been multiple games where I score really high, an opponent says “playing” and then the opponent disappears and a new one is chosen, then I lose. I thought that it would be a legitimate game coming from FanDuel, but it’s just like Pocket7Games and all the other “skill for cash” games. There’s also been multiple instances where the game crashes on the loading screen and then you lose the wager without even getting to play. Very disappointing, they just want you to keep depositing.
The house always wins, unfortunately..FhjnncdeeessVersion: 1.3.0
Just a way to hand over moneyThe games are fun and the app works pretty well. Just don’t do this thinking you’ll win any money. The better you get, the better your “opponents” get.. so you won’t actually win any more. With the incredibly high rake that they keep for themselves, *you must win 65% of the time to BREAK EVEN*. Again, to break even, you must win nearly 2/3 of the time, or your account balance will continue to fall due to the money the app keeps to run the games. You may win 50% of the time thanks to their matchmaking algorithm about which there is zero transparency, but you will not, ever, win 65% of the time. It’s just a slow drain on your account with some slot machine psychology where you occasionally win to keep you addicted and playing. Just say no..Jb6153284Version: 2.1.0
HorribleAs a player for about 3 years now, don’t waste your money. Matchmaking in any game isn’t perfect but this has to be the worst matchmaking in any game ever and I’m ashamed that I got so addicted. That’s how they get you, they make you think that because it’s you against someone else then you actually have a chance but honestly you don’t. You might do really good one game then get paired up against someone who you feel like is cheating. They added a replay feature and somehow someway whenever you lose to a what you might think is an impossible score to beat the replay feature is always unavailable…. Sketchy right? Please don’t waste your money, I’ve lost thousands and I can’t wait for the lawsuit so I can potentially recover the thousands I’ve lost.Benajog247Version: 2.32.0
Waste of timeThis app makes you think you can win money just to pair you against a random person that just so happens to get a way higher score than you as soon as you decide to bet actual money. Like for instance, on the game “Galaxy match” it is VERY easy to make it into higher levels when you play for free. But when you wager money, you can barely make it past level 2 because they minimize how much you can actually score on the game. I play free version I’m scoring almost 20k points. Once I gamble, I can’t make it past 6-7k points. They know exactly what they’re doing and they’re banking on your incompetence to continue flowing the way they are. Games are fun. But these FanDuel guys are the greatest scam artists on the world..TruzzzmeeVersion: 2.31.0
Stay AwayFirst of all, the vig on these games is incredibly high, 25% of your entry fee goes to the house before you even start playing. Hard to beat already. Secondly, and even more scummy, is that they advertise it as if everyone has a fair shot. Assuredly not true no matter how many times the person replying to these reviews says the matchmaking process is based solely on your performance in that game. Utter nonsense. If it’s struggling to find people (happens a lot at the higher buy ins especially), go ahead and prepare yourself to play game after game after game against someone whose average score in that game is 50, 60, 70% higher than yours.
Only reason I’m giving a 2nd star is bc the games are fun lol..The Bad News BearVersion: 2.29.0
Dishonest matchmakingFun games that are actually well designed but the dishonest matchmaking ruins the enjoyment. It’s basically impossible to get on any sort of winning streak because the algorithm or “matchmaking” if that’s what you want to call it will not let you win too much. You aren’t going up in a live H2h match against someone else. You are going up against a score of whatever fanduel’s system thinks you deserve and it’s determined as your game is happening. So essentially how you do in each individual game is irrelevant. The game pre determines as you are playing if you win or lose. This would easily be a 5 star review if you were actually facing another players score and not Fanduels flawed system. Oh well.Spongebob2852Version: 2.34.0
ScamThe whole gaming model is a scam. It will certainly feed you wins for a certain stretch, and then like clockwork, feeds you the same amount of losses. The entire goal of the app is to keep gamblers engaged, as FanDuel takes 10+% on the rake.
They claim they match you against similarly skilled competition, which may be true to some degree. However, you used to be able to view the stats of your competition (avg and high score), and it was completely normal to end up matched up against someone with an average score higher than your own previous best, after winning several times in a row, of course. They’ve since disallowed viewing of other competitor stats (guessing because it raised too many eyebrows)..Fleeced1414Version: 1.7.9
Actual ScamI have been playing this game for a few weeks and the games are generally fun and easy to play. I agree with other reviews stating that the scores of the other players are sketchy and difficult to verify that you are actually getting a fair matchup against a real person. My biggest issue, however, is that this game is actively changing my score on the football mini game. Twice on cash games I got a score of over 10,000 and when returned to the main screen, my score is listed as lower than 5000. Whether this is a mistake or on purpose, FanDuel is stealing people’s money on a scam. And when I go to seek support, it says I’m “99+” place in line. Do not play this game, do not use other FanDuel products..Whydoyoucare123Version: 1.1.2
Bad everythingThey have lockers to provide rewards for logging in everyday. It worked for a few days and then it didn’t. Opened a ticket/case and still no response from tech support or customer service. This is the second time that I have reported that the lockers stopped working. Yet it goes in resolved. This has happened for other issues as well. I have opened at least a dozen tickets in the last year for various issues. Customer service is either non existent or they blame me. Even if it’s clearly not me. Like when I try to redeem a voucher and they tell me it filled up before I redeemed. I tried to redeem minutes after I got the voucher. So dissatisfied.SF/BerkeleyVersion: 2.28.0
Poor game and customer serviceSeveral times I have played games and had an error message pop up that says “Something went wrong on our end, unable to start game”. Fanduel then proceeds to take the entry fee and give a - for a score followed by a 0 resulting in a loss. They claim the issue isn’t on their end despite the error message they send that clearly states otherwise. Ask simply for the stake to be returned and they tell you there’s nothing wrong with them and to pound sand, no refund. Bogus customer service, bogus product. Riddle with glitches and customer service could care less to address them. Just says use a new device or browser. Like that’s the issue?.Garvmeister1Version: 2.31.0
Fun up to a pointUodate: Customer service takes on average about a week to respond, and has been zero help when they do. My questions are either unanswered, or answered in an incredibly vague manner. Every live support agent gives the same answer about “not having the tools needed to correct the issue,” and that someone will “reach out via email ‘shortly’ “
I enjoyed this app for a while, but for some days now I am no longer getting matched with opponents, and my entry fee repeatedly is getting canceled and returned to me, I’ve contacted support multiple times with no success. I’ll definitely update this review once the issue gets resolved, because when it was working it was fun.MrmochiVersion: 1.2.0
