Frequently Asked Questions
What is Skillz?
Skillz is the leading mobile gaming platform that connects players and developers through fun, fair competition. Skillz provides the opportunity for casual gamers to turn their skills into real money and prizes.
Do you have to play for money?
No. All Skillz games are free to download and play. Non-paying players compete for “Zs” (A Skillz virtual currency) and tickets, which can be redeemed for real prizes in the Skillz prize store. Players who make a monetary deposit can compete for real money.
How do I know the competition is fair?
Skillz uses proprietary technology to pair players with similar skill levels, ensuring that every game is evenly matched and every player has a fair chance to win.
Does Skillz use bots?
Every Skillz tournament is between real players. Never bots. Competing against bots is against the fundamental tenets of fair play and real competition on which we were founded. When you play Skillz-powered games, you are matched with real players at your skill level
How can I make money as a developer?
Skillz monetizes your game through the power of competition. Developers take home a percentage of the revenue their games generate on the Skillz Platform. This percentage increases the more paying players you attract to the platform.
What is skill-based competition?
Skill-based competition is not based on luck or chance, but on the players’ abilities.
Do people win actual money?
Yes. Skillz awards approximately $2 million* in real cash and prizes every week to real players just like you.
*Based on 2022 monthly averages.
