Strike! By Bowlero Wiki

Back in the 1970s I was on the verge of turning Pro. I would eventually forgo the endeavor as I did not have the time to practice to hone my Skillz and stay in top shape. This bowling platform is no different. I began here as a mediocre bowler and through practice games I have eventually honed my Skillz. For those of you who may be getting a bunch of splits I would say to experiment with different angles and speed to cut down or reduce the occurrence of splits. I used to get a number of splits before but with practice I have practically eliminated these. To the designers of Strike. ESports bowling my hat is off to you as the new update using he 16lb ball makes the experience much more realistic. I have become addicted to this game and I would just like to say..it is a magnificent 5 star experience. Thank you.

Okay, this will be a long story. Many flaws, errors, and cheats my opponents use against me are in this game. But good additions cancel most of those out. There are still a few ways I can demonstrate the fact the game is glitchy and bugged. Not always but sometimes. So once I was playing, fun time, yay yay yay, haha, enjoying the game. I threw a ball and was disappointed as it went into the gutter. I then threw my second shot and it went straight down the middle! I thought I would get an 8, maybe a 9, a strike could happen but was very unlikely. It hits all but the 7 and 10 pins. They do flips, which were so aesthetic, and then land PERFECTLY IN THEIR PLACES. Not perfectly but pretty close. And they stay. So I’m here thinking “Well, not all bad, right? I hit them! I got an 8. Right? Yahoo?” when I got a 0. Super annoying. And my other time I was playing, yay, hahahah beat my friend, stupid idiot, and then I threw a ball. This time, it went my way. I got a very big spin, and it hit the 7 pin. Only the 7. Yet when the 7 was hit, it knocked down the 8, which knocked down the 5, 4, 6, 2, 3, 1, 9, 10.. all in a line. Like before, it was very aesthetic. I enjoyed it, a strike was nice. So that’s my review.

I have been a member since June and all I have to say are all POSITIVE things about the game, but above all, I have to hand it to the customer service, and all the other contacts involved in helping with keeping this app up to 100% perfection! Every person I have had the pleasure of speaking with has been above and beyond professional, extremely helpful and goes beyond my expectations with helping me in and on all areas I needed assistance with. I just can’t express how much I enjoy this app and other games from the developer. Hands down, no other app/company/developer can hold a candle to SKILLZ!! Thank you all for everything you do and always continue to be amazing!

Strike bowling is a Blast!! I use to bowl in an amateur bowling league mostly for fun and also because my dad and brother were also bowling in it. I had a 185 average and we won 2 out of the 4 seasons we bowled there. So much fun! Strike bowling brings back so many fun memories! And it’s quite a fun game as well. One thing I would say though is there are a lot of splits that I get, my balls 80% of the time if day are hitting the pocket, that Strike zone and I end up getting many splits. Which is disheartening as it lowers your score significantly! Especially if you can’t pick up those splits, though I’d say it’s awesome when you do!! I digress, the game is Amazing if you love to bowl!

This game is really fun to play and I love that you can win real money. The gameplay is nice and there’s plenty of events to enter. The look of everything is nice and the prizes are great too. I do have a few suggestions, but I want to say first, I think the devs are focusing on the right things, making sure everything is fair and runs smoothly. I think that is great. My only complaint is that there’s no way to customize anything, I wish you could earn medals or something to show off on your avatar or through your profile. I wish you could change your ball or earn or buy new ones. (Maybe even offer different stats on different sized balls or something, but that may take away from the fairness of the game) but to be able to customize would be nice. I also wish we could see a replay of the other player in pvp games. And being able to save replays would be nice. I really think the game is great, and like I mentioned, I think the devs are focusing on keeping things running right before they work on the pretties, but it would be nice to see some creativity thrown in there. To see it polished off like that would make me give that last star ⭐️

This game is really fun and entertaining, especially when there’s nothing to do. However this game needs to work on a few things. The pin physics is ok but not realistic, whenever you hit in the pocket or light pocket it just leaves a lot of splits, like a 4 10 or a 4 5 7. I think that the pins need to be more realistic and not slide like rubber. If you throw a curve or a hook ball you will notice that it rolls realistic, but when it gets to the pins it doesn’t drive through the pins and as a result, splits and barley any strikes. I giving this game 3 stars because there are not a lot of ads. If the creator can fix the pin action this game would be 10x better. Update: I think the new update is good but not that great. In the new update it seems 200 games are rare and I fell in to that too I mean you need at least one double and keep clean (making spares no open frames) to shoot 200. I think this is because the pin physics are still not realistic and what I mean by that is the ball gets to a good roll and hit ether in the light pocket or just the pocket and leaves a lot of splits like a 5-7 or 5-10 seriously? Another cause of no 200 game is the ball speed, sometimes when you swipe your finger up like you do, sometimes the ball just doesn’t have the velocity to carry the light hits the ball just moves like a turtle. I think that the developers need to take more time on their game and make it a lot better so people would enjoy more, Other than that good game.

I like the new update; however, I agree with the splits issue. You can throw the exact bowl 10 times, the same exact way... you will have 5/10 earn a strike, and if not, it’s a split that just wouldn’t happen in real life. You can absolutely make money playing this game - the developers and company are profiting (and fantastic for them) a lot - I know the community who is consistently in here, and many feel this... It is getting to the point where it’s not fun anymore. The skillz tech/customer support team that reallllllly needs improvement. Maybe there just aren’t enough players (though I doubt that’s the case), maybe the algorithm for matching players needs improvement, or maybe they need to tier and make another league (or similar idea). We want to spend money, of course win but understand that’s the gamble, literally; however, if you don’t bowl a perfect game, unless your opponent has an off match, you will lose.

You can do the same thing every time and it still gives you splits. You’ll win some, but you’ll loose more than you win. For instance if you play for $1.00 you automatically pay $0.60 and if you win you get your $0.60 cents back and $0.40 cents as a prize. So you have to win twice to double you money. Its a joke. Its glitchy and half the time they don't reimburse you when there are glitches. The advertisements show the same 4 people every time - which goes to show how many users on the app actually win money. DO NOT DEPOSIT MONEY INTO THIS GAME! On $1.00 games they rake in $0.20 per game. Each player pays $0.60 ($1.20 total) and the winner only get a dollar if they win = $0.20 for the company. Its a joke. Please save your money. Even though you probably wont see this - I’ve lost over $200 easily on high hopes.

I’ve been a candlepin bowler most of my life, now 65, so when an app company finally comes out with a candlepin bowling game naturally I was excited. Since I thought this app was very good bowling 10 pin I had high hopes for the candlepin version. It didn’t take long before my excitement turned into disappointment. While the graphics are write up there with the best of them the pin physics are not realistic. As someone else noted the pins simply don’t fall as you’d expect with a history of candlepin bowling. The amount of splits that occur is way too high and there have been numerous times when pins should’ve fallen from being nudged. I’ve seen fallen pins going through standing pins and not knocked it down. Pins don’t roll as freely once knocked down as they do in the real game either. And perhaps the most irritating thing about the game is how many times I have to throw the ball before it will finally roll down the lane. It’s taken me as many as five times throwing the ball before it finally went down the lane. UNACCEPTABLE! There is one other bowling game that has the candlepin version and while it’s not “as good” as this one, at least I have no problem throwing the ball.

Recently, the game’s updates have made the game far less enjoyable than it used to be. Not only is there often game lag even with no apps running in the background, but half the time the game cannot recognize the speed of my swipes and sends the ball down the lane super slowly. Honestly, the new design of the app and the game is the only thing the developer seems to have improved upon/gotten right. I used to know how to aim the spin and where to line up the ball for the oil patterns but a new update completely eradicated those patterns I had recognized. I no longer play in cash games (which I know for a fact depletes the amount of money the developer earns! *hint hint*) because I cannot trust myself or the game to get anything over a 120. I used to be able to consistently bowl in the 230s-240s or higher, along with most of my opponents, but it seems like everyone has been duped by the developer recently. Please fix these issues as soon as possible so I can continue to play in cash games and tournaments and enjoy the game once again! Right now, not recommended for anyone!

I started a account an the same day i played a tournment it was 5$ a game highest score is your score. 1st place had a 279 with 6 hrs to play left. On my 2nd game i rolled a 300. I was the 1st to do it therefore i was guaranteed the fist place prize. The event end an i cashed out my winnings via a check sent to my home. 5 minutes after i cashed out i get a email saying my account has been suspended because i was manipulating the algorithm. Comms with there support have told me a few details you should know #1 the algorithm maintains all players at roughly even or 2% showing losses 2% showing winnings you wont be able to hustle players as the cpu with que your gamea an then matches you with a player of your caliber but whats really happening is the cpu is waiting to book you a loss to maintain the breakeven across sll players so the game arent pre decided but who knows the cpu matchs a game you alreadu hours later it could be waiting to find a player who score is higher just as much as it could be fair i find it odd all players are breakeven some ppl should he way up n some way down not all at breakeven + - 3% hows that possible real time games this is not real time pvp #2 If you want to cash out any winnings or bonus money they try to take almost half of the amount in a fee because your cashing it out thats strong armin you to do as you wish with your that you win fair n sq to many red flags suggest this is fixed

It will not end well.......this app will entice the user to play 1st for points then for cash. Once playing for cash it will pit you against others - mind you will be playing BOTS that every 2nd game is already decided before you even play. So you will seem like you are winning and granted I did will over $3000, but I lost $3001 of the $3001 - I put into the game around $750. So they got me for a total of $750 of my own $. As you play you will find your game starts to go poorly and chalk it up to how you are using the finger or the speed - but little did we know that based on how long and what level achieved will all make it more difficult to improve your score and once you change the technique it happens again. I can assure you that there are not thousands playing this game - otherwise how could it take hours or days to find a challenger - at any level especially a beginner. I could go on and on - this company should have to go before an auditing firm to show the payouts to legit players - my guess it is less than 1 in 1000. I will bet anyone who wants $100 that after playing 100 competitive money games they will not be ahead. You will loose your shirt and car and house on this app. It should be taken down.

Literally just the worst company you could ever deal with. It takes 60% wins to break even. The whole matchmaking is a scam to try and make sure everyone wins half the time and slowly loses their money. If you get good enough to make money, they’ll stop letting you find many matches. Withdrawing is a huge pain and it takes forever to get your money with a lot of annoying steps to get there. Their customer service is understaffed and the worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with in anything in my life. Literally impossible to get a question answered. You’ll get a generic response that’s completely irrelevant to what you asked and it takes weeks for responses sometimes. The live chat agent isn’t able to tell you anything meaningful. Just the worst gaming experience possible because of them and how they work, and this is coming from someone who has made a lot of money from them. Plenty of people making money have quit because it’s not worth the headache they put you through.

I don’t usually write a review but though I have to do it this time because I don’t want to see anyone become their next victim. So I deposited money and have been played for 3 months. I ended up winning almost $800. Everything was fine until I made a withdraw request. They didn’t want to pay out so they just blocked my account for no reason. There was no notice or explaination, just right after I want to withdraw my money and boom... my account got suspended. Horrible customer service ever!!! Never got a respond from them to even understand what was happening. I don’t think any winner actually receive a check from them. The withdraw processing took forever and trust me, they will try everything to block or suspend you even you didn’t do anything wrong. Don’t waste your time and money for this app. Totally a scam and terrible people to deal with.
