About Skillz Arena

What is Skillz Arena?  
Skillz Arena is a single mobile app that brings together multiple real-money skill games under one roof - with a unified wallet, a single account, and a seamless experience across every game.
Instead of installing a separate app for each game, you download Arena once and get access to a growing portfolio of games including Solitaire, Puzzle Blockz, Bingo, Blackjack and more.
All competitions are skill-based: you're matched against a player of similar ability, and the better score wins. No luck, no randomness; just skill.

How is Skillz Arena different from other Skillz games?  
Standalone Skillz games are individual apps for a single game. Skillz Arena is one app with many games.
One account and one wallet work across all games in Arena.
Arena uses a new currency called Gemz for free play (replacing Z coins used in standalone apps).
If you already have a Skillz account, your existing balance and history carry over when you sign into Arena.

I already have a Skillz account. Can I use it in Arena?  
Yes. Sign in with your existing Skillz email and password. Your real-cash balance, transaction history, and account details will carry over. Bonus Cash from standalone Skillz apps will transfer too. 
Gemz (Arena's virtual currency) are Arena-specific and won't appear in other Skillz apps.

Is Skillz Arena free to download and play?
Yes - Arena is free to download. Many games have free practice modes you can play with Gemz (our virtual currency for free play) at no cost.
Cash competitions require a real-money entry fee, but you only pay when you choose to enter a paid match.

Who can play Skillz Arena?
Anyone aged 18 or older in a jurisdiction where real-money skill gaming is permitted.
Cash competitions are available in most US states. A small number of states are restricted by local law -- the app will notify you if cash play is unavailable in your location.
Free/practice play with Gemz is available to all users regardless of location. Please refer here for eligible regions.

Is Skillz Arena available on iOS and Android?  
iOS: Available on the Apple App Store.
Android: Available as a direct APK download from skillz.com (not on Google Play Store). The app will prompt you to enable 'Install from Unknown Sources' during setup -- this is normal and safe.
