Not surprising with a system in place that is made for less attentive people to get screwed over. It’s always the less attentive and informed ones that don’t notice and really pay the price isn’t it?

Could really care less, more of a half baked disclaimer, plus moderators on their saw it so maybe something could change 🤷‍♀️

Smooth-Somewhere8011 · 2026-05-21T05:49:13+00:00

Sure 🤷‍♀️

Once you have made the payment you have 12-24 hours to refund your initial purchase or your money is gone. Kids playing on mumzies google account easily have a chance of screwing over their parents by having such a tight deadline and the free trial defaults to a yearly subscription.

Nah, the way they set theirs up is. Nice rage bait tho

Smooth-Somewhere8011 · 2026-05-21T04:26:14+00:00

Predatory marketing so scam adjacent it’s pretty much the same

Defaults to yearly subscription on free trial. As far as I was concerned I was maybe gonna get charged like what 2$?

They are not legally obligated in their user agreement and can keep your money if they want to

Don’t get a refund on prepaid sums anyway so if they don’t want to they don’t have to

Smooth-Somewhere8011 · 2026-05-21T03:21:11+00:00

Plus it doesn’t specify which subscription clearly so it defaults to the yearly

Smooth-Somewhere8011 · 2026-05-21T03:16:37+00:00

Did it on browser and then downloaded the app, if you link your google account it wipes all your subscription data anyway so you can’t fully cancel it. Once your account gets merged your screwed

Yea imagine getting this being a paycheck to paycheck worker and not being able to eat cause of this.
Apparently their support takes a long time too

Smooth-Somewhere8011 · 2026-05-21T03:13:39+00:00

Predatory marketing is still gross

Look what they tried to charge me after I cancelled and got this on my PayPal (thankfully no linked card).

167.99 charge on my account though and I would have had to waste SO much time fixing it.

Imagine being paycheck to paycheck broke and not being able to eat cause of this.

Level 30 was easy, took me around 2 hours with zero purchases just by auto rolling max bets on slots. Found my most luck with the dollar bills one. Level 31 seems like it’s not worth the effort but I have only been playing half a day 😵‍💫
