Because they are frauds – they owe me $125,000.00 – only offered me a 10% refund, when I declined that, they flagged me, disabled me and blocked me – they definitely have something they’re trying to hide / like manipulated algorithms!! There’s already a class action being taken against them for fraud in their SKLZ – now I’m thinking of starting one too if I don’t get my refund!!

Skillz flagged my account for sum reason. While I was loosing it was cool but when I started winning and did a withdrawal they flagged my account and nobody contacted me bout why or even discussed the matter.
