Skillz Esports: Top Esports Games From Skillz

When I took a few esport games for a spin at Skillz, I decided to fund my account to be able to accurately test out every aspect of playing. You can make deposits to your account using PayPal, Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express and, if you do, I’d recommend you look out for possible bonuses on your deposit, such as the recent Skillz $100 promo. 

Real money play isn’t available in certain states, including Louisiana, and South Dakota. Skillz players living in those states will instead use the free Z Coins and Ticketz currency. Z Coins act as game tokens but don’t have any other value, while Ticketz can be redeemed for lots of awesome real world prizes like cash, gift cards, gym equipment, tech, and gadgets. Have a look at the Ballislife detailed Skillz review for more information on the legalities of playing Skillz games in your location.

If you’re playing the real money version of any esports games, it’s good to know that the entry prices vary by individual game. The minimum entry fee is $0.60.

Top tip: It can take a second to get your head around the Skillz esports charges and prizes for each game. For example, one of the esports games I played had an entry fee of $0.60 with a prize of $1. When I scooped the win, my balance only actually went up by $0.40 because I had already paid out the $0.60.

Skillz uses a complex match up process to guarantee that you’re only playing games against competition of a similar skill level. This should mean that you get a nicely competitive game but don’t have to face getting annihilated every time you play, or in fact getting bored because you always win.

This so-called ‘simple to play, hard to master’ game has been a player favorite outside of Skillz for 20 years. The graphics are immersive and there are lots of special upgrades to unlock as you play. There are even seasonal versions of the game, like a Halloween edition with zombie deer. When I tell you this game has an average rating of 4.7 from Apple players and 4.5 from Android users, beating even the well-loved Skillz Solitaire Cube, you’ll understand just how many people have fallen for this game.

This fast paced game gives you two minutes to try and toss as many bags into the hole as you can. The super simple, touch screen gameplay is enhanced with engaging game sounds and lots of different background settings to choose between.

If you prefer a fishing reel to a slot game reel then you’ll love Fishing Tap Blitz. This energetic game gives you the chance to catch up to 100 different types of fish and look them up in the game encyclopedia.

Made in conjunction with US bowling giant Bowlero, this game gives you one of the most realistic bowling simulations you’ll ever find. There are lots of different designs and lanes and the game design has been perfectly optimized to fit your phone screen. Again, I was impressed, but not surprised after I’d played a few rounds for myself, that this game has a nearly perfect score (4.7 out of 5) from over 10, 000 reviews.

Skillz are well-known for their new spins on old classics, like the Skillz Spades Cash game, and 7 Pin Pool is another great mash up, mixing some elements of old-fashioned billiard with a few spicy new additions. For starters, each game only lasts 10 minutes maximum so if you can’t make your shot by then you’re out of luck.

Secondly, everyone plays simultaneously. So there’s no waiting while a player chalks up their cue or lines up for the perfect angle, this is a no holds barred race against the clock to beat the competition.
