On August *****th 2023- I am very unhappy with customer services lack of support. I sent screen prints 3 xs for 3 over charges @3.99 each for dice cash and stickers and missing points ***** in dice from a game win. The customer support listed these as a known issue.

Additionally, I have sent in multiple request for updates and sent the issue to them on all of their platforms with zero response. All I want is the game credited for the purchases and the wins.

The company is charging me more for the same things as others. Their support teams uses the exact same cut and paste message system for any complaint and refuses to address the actual complaint. I have asked to speak with an actual human for weeks with no response from a human. They are openly allowing other players to steal items from me with no compensation. This entire game is a scam. This company is redlining consumers and it's refusal to address complaints on its own is enough to shut it down for fraud.Business Response

It's the same ******** cut and paste messages without addressing the problem. And NO ONE is doing anything to correct it.
This company should be banned from doing business in *****************. They need an F rating from the BBB. Someone needs to ACTUALLY do something about s*** like this in our country instead of allowing these scamming companies to run rampant.

Gambling in disguise, not disclosed. They change the rules whenever they want, and do not disclose imperative aspects of gameplay. I spent hundreds of dollars acquiring currency in the game only to have it all stolen in one swoop from another player not on my friends list, in an amount thousands of times higher than any previous. That is extremely sketchy. I did the math and even if it was a mega heist on a x1000 roll it should not have been that much. They changed the mechanics and rules multiple times after making my purchases, devaluing what little I did take away from the purchases. What you get for what you pay is nowhere near what it should be. I have struggled with gambling in the past and this game is marketed as family friendly even for kids yet completely sucked me as it is 100% gambling in disguise, without me even realizing it. This is the definition of predatory. Crucial aspects of gameplay, and the effects of the purchases are not transparent.Business Response

I think any game that is advertised a family game yet relies on in-game purchases to be able to play, and chance, should constitute gambling. Not to mention the packages you offer are based on spending history, meaning players who have spent more will be offered a more expensive package, while people who have not payed as much will be offered a cheaper package. Its all gamified and set up to **** you in then quickly waste all your resources so you need more. As someone whose struggled with gambling, it feels exactly the same. Also Im not happy with the way things have been handled in other areas. Multiple times you have allowed glitches to give some players massive advantages, for extended periods of time, while the rest of used our time and money to play fair. Overall I feel totally scammed from this application and a victim of predatory tactics that really shouldnt be present if it really was the innocent game it falsely advertises itself to be.Business Response

Hello, Thank you for your follow-up message and for expressing your concerns about our game's in-game purchases and dependence on chance. Our game is designed to provide an entertaining experience to players of all ages. The in-game purchases allow users to customize their experience and enhance their gameplay, but they are strictly optional and are not linked to gameplay progression. Additionally, we offer our players the opportunity to earn in-game currency through gameplay, leaving the choice of whether or not to purchase in-game currency in the hands of the individual player. Regarding your concern about package offerings, our approach is based on giving players the flexibility to choose packages that suit their needs and budget. It should be noted that all package prices are fixed and do not vary based on the customer's transaction history. Regarding the issue of glitches that *** have given other players an advantage, we take such issues seriously and will investigate any such reports to ensure fairness and equity. Please contact our customer support to report any instances where you believe this to have occurred. We want to assure you that our company is committed to ethical gameplay and providing transparency to all of our players. We apologize for any negative experience you *** have had and hope to resolve these issues to your satisfaction. If you have any additional concerns, please contact our customer support team, and we will do our best to address them. Sincerely,Initial Complaint

I have sent a dozen messages since July. There was some form of a glitch on the game where an entire album (lion one) needed to be redone and NO rewards were recieved. This is part of their known issues and many others were compensated. They wont even reply to 1 of my dozen complaints. After conpleting the lion album, it is supposed to progress, instwad i started back at the beginning if the lion album, except that every set said completed when i had not even started it. In other words, after comlleting each set i received no rewards because it already said set completed. I have sent numerous screen shots to prove this was happening and as mentioned i know many others that had the same issue and were reimbursed for the 20k+ dice they lost and money. I have sent probably 10+ messages and get nothing in return yet i am a paying customer and have boughten numerous packs. Its ridiculous why they ignore paying customers messages.Business Response

I was missing a card that I needed, so I went to the official MonopolyGo card trading ******** page. This is the page they recommend in-game. I posted what I had to offer and was offered a trade by someone named *******. I sent my card, he blocked me and never sent his. I reached out to support and was told to wait 24 hours. It's been days now, and I've reached back out multiple times with no help. If I don't get my card back, or the card he was supposed to send me, I want a refund of all the money I spent on this game. I will not pay money to a game who doesn't stand behind their business recommendations and who let's scammers do whatever they please with no repercussions.Business Response

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out regarding multiple concerns in the game.
For your concern about being scammed in Monopoly Go! Trading Groups. We do encourage our players to wait at least 24 hours when trading with someone. If the said timeframe has passed and still none was received or if the agreed Sticker was still not sent, feel free to reach out to our Community Managers for assistance. We would like to sincerely apologize for this. Tightening the group's security is already one of our priorities.
