Is Game Duell a big sham?

[msufan]

Got another $12+ from them, apparently finishing off the withdrawal for which they underpaid me. Now they owe me $170 from withdrawals made this week. Won't know for a month or so if those are coming.

The heater continues. Just withdrew another $104. Hopefully they pay the $270+ they now owe me. Should be a month before we find out.

Went on my first-ever GameDuell heater and pulled $170+ from their site this week. I also reminded them they owed me $34 from over a month ago... and they sent me $23.90.

Even though I've played there for years, based on their history as shown in this thread, I fear that getting the $180+ they owe me (including the $10 they didn't pay me from the previous withdrawal) is going to be difficult. I'll keep you posted as to whether or not they actually pay.

The money came!! I am still owed just over $100 for a withdrawal on July 28th, but I am thrilled to have received this money from 7/19 and 7/21.

...and the rest of the money came today. They paid up!

I started this thread forever and day ago and have since decided gameduell is not a scam. The issue with the open/closed duels page has been fixed so you can accurately track your tournaments. The money you win playing the joker is withdrawalable. That is 65cents per win which can be up to $20 per month for absolutely free. No cash games required, no earning of points, no provisional status, blah, blah...you just have to be money player and score higher than the joker. Obviously, the higher skilled you are in a game the higher skilled the joker will be, but if you don't bomb the game you will win. The conversion of your cash deposit to gameduell dollars is still useless, however on their withdrawal page there is a calculator so you see what your balance is in dollars. This calculator is also handy when trying see how much cash an entry fee is and the prize amount. GD takes 25% so the higherstake tournaments are not more advantageous than the ones for G$80-G$100. The mini-league tournaments are a rip-off. If you can win seven games in a single game, play the multi-player tournaments because you'll win more. I believe the higher your skill level the harder the games get--I've been using the same strategy playing Jungle Jewels since day one and as I've increased in skill level, my game score average has dropped. In theory the reverse of that should happen since over time one's scoring ability will increase with practice not decrease.

And finally, my first withdrawal took 2.5 weeks instead of 6 weeks to received. That's not fast by any means, but I did successfully get my money. Now I'm going to make two more so I hope the pattern continues. I would definitely pick this site as a top favorite except they don't have jackpot/progressive tournaments so they still well below other sites--but their games are very playable and polished.

I honestly have not given Gameduell a chance yet to date, but if you guys say it's credible then I'm getting on. The $50 bonus code (found on the sidebar ad of the forum ) is too good to pass up if there's games that a seasoned skill gaming vet can be successful in.

It's completely legit. I've received many payouts from them over the years. They come slowly, but they do eventually arrive.

I admit in the beginning I was really put off with gameduell, but I decided to give it another go a few months ago and it's been pretty successful. Profiting is a slow moving process due to it's lack of jackpot tournaments and one can only win so long with head-to-head tournaments. But they have slowly been adding new games plus the games they already have, are for most part, inventive clones of already popular themed games(more or less). I say this about their puzzle/word games that is, I don't play card games but they have plenty of those to.

I would love to take advantage of that $50 bonus but I'm already a member...I hope it's not gameduell bucks and actually USD/Euros. I wish someone would post if it works or not--I'm very curious because when I first joined the bonus I was supposed to get took over a month to show up in my account only after I complained to BBB after getting no where with GD. Hopefully it's all squared away now.

Good point! I wonder if it's G$50 as they call it -- worth about $0.65 US.
