    Monopoly Go. I reached out for support of a problem within the game where I have proof I was not getting credit for a partner tournament which caused me to have to complete myself to get the winning after the partner showed me we made it and had different results than me. To win this challenge I had to buy dice to complete. I reached out and followed up after submitting the support ticket over a week later and I email them everyday. No resolution. No compensation and they give me the run around saying they are looking in to it and nothing else. I need help resolving this issue. This company is stealing money from People and not working to provide updates or compensation for their errors and issues

    I was in the middle.of completing the partners car challenge on Nov 1 and I had paid quite a bit of money on all the cars and on the last one I was trying to finish to get my prize and the game glitched so I was unable to. I went to your ******** page and there were hundreds of players saying the same thing. Eventually the partners challenge ended since the glitches started about 2 hours before the end of the challenge and Even tho they knew there were issues they let the game time run out. I was unable to finish. Scopely Gabe some people a little compensation 200 rolls like that was helpful but I got NOTHING. Some people got what they would have gotten if they completed the challenge which was **** rolls and play $ as well as new stickers for the other challenge. I got Nothing. I have tried to reach out but I got a message saying to reboot . I want what I am owed You take $ for this game so the contest need to be fair if you are aware of issues then you should be trating it like a real contest since we pay $ for playing

    Complaint: 20818664

    I am rejecting this response because:I never received the dice you seem to keep saying I got.  If you are talking about the 100 dice u received from customer service thar isn't even close to compensation for missing out on over 5k dice.  I also would have gotten a lot of other items for it including a new token that would have completed a shelf and that also would have given me more dice, I would have gotten a new card that would have given me 20k dice because I would have finished my board.  I understand thatnyou think you can just give me a few dice and I'll go away but I spend hundreds on your game and I was cheated out of a lot of the prizes I should have received.   I want at least half of what I would have gotten to complete because of the amount of $ spent trying to get to the end of the partner cars and then having to spend more to get the card I would have gotten for completion    You sending me 100 dice doesn't even get me around the board once.  MONOPOLY go has gotten more abs more greedy and I would think that every remaining player would be valuable.  It doesn't seem that way tho. I feel like you don't value me as a customer and you think that because your product is virtual it means you don't have to provide a platform that is fair and honest but I pay for your product and I should get what I pay for.  Please make this right and do what you would want a company to do in my situation

    Several times this company's game app has crashed and caused loss of progress/rewards/ prizes. There is ZERO customer support and the supposed Chat function is non-operational or automated without human support. In this latest game crash I lost a significant amount of purchased items and game progress and have emailed Scopely support asking for a refund of my last purchase but NO ONE at the company has responded.

    I've spend probably close to $500 on Monopoly Go. The game is fun and I've had a good time. However, there are times when I've run into some technical issues and I reached out to customer support for help. The customer support agents seem to be computer generated never reads the messages and they respond with nonsense that doesn't address the problem I had.The most recent issue is that I spent over 200 dollars for game dice and then won free parking and events. Then their servers went down. When the server came back up I was down from **** dice to **** dice. That's a lot for this game, .I tried reaching out to support and they responded with some computer generated answer. All I wanted was the dice added back to my account but support responded with they can't do anything for refunds and to contact apple support

    I have never ordered, inquired or played any game from Scopley. I had a series of games surreptitiously loaded to my smartphone. I have researched how to remove this group of game programs. The only approach that I found is ridiculously complex and has to be done one game at a time. The consequence of this is the my smartphone screen is frozen.In my opinion, this is a fraud for the following reasons:1. This program was loaded through some other software/program.2. There is no way to conveniently remove the software.3. In my effort to find the exit or remove the programs, they are loaded with promotions for other programs. I wish nothing more than an convenient way to eliminate this software from my phone.

    The game Monopoly Go game glitched on 10-3-2023 causing me to lose progress in the form of tournament accomplishments, purchased items, and other rewards. The company acknowledged the problem and advised that the affected players would be compensated after their investigation was completed. I received inadequate compensation in the form of a small amount of in-game rewards, which pales in comparison to what I lost and missed out on due to the glitch. The in-game customer service feature was ineffective for me as I was unable to reach an actual person and it appeared to not be working properly. Due to that, I attempted to reach out to the company via their website and social media accounts. No one ever responded to me via the social media accounts. I finally received an in-game response telling me that the issue was still being looked into. That was my last correspondence from this company. No one ever reached out with a solution, apology, or anything. I have spent money on this game, and I feel that the company could care less that I had an issue and did not make a real effort to address my problem. I would like to receive the items that I lost or missed out on due to the glitch, or I would like a comparable refund of my money.

    I am currently a costumer of scopely games. More specifically MonopolyGO. I spend money to play the game and purchase different products throughout the month. I am currently loosing up to 400$ per month to other players who are violating scopely fair play policies. Despite advertising their commitment to fair play they have no way to report players who are cheating. I have tried to contact customer service ************************* costumer service just leads back to their fair game policy. They have no customer service that is not automated and that does not lead back to the fair play policy. I have been in contact with over 100 other players who are also experiencing fair play violations and they too have tried every available avenue to contact customer service but as I said it is a loop that leads you back to the policy. I believe as a paying customer ******************** should do more to maintain fair play and provide all customers with the ability to report players who violate their companies fair play policy. Ignoring paying customers takes away our voice and cost us hundreds of dollars each month.

    Complaint: 20796977

    I am rejecting this response because: this is the exact problem we are all having. The ingame support is a big circle that leads you back do explaining the rules. There is no way to actually contact customer service. I can only find the automated response that just tells you that they have received your feedback and will work to improve the game. I need an email address or a link that allows me to actually contact customer support for this issue. And if there is a way to contact someone or her then a machine it is hidden so deep in the game that none of us can find it.
