    I signed up, cost me 10 euro. I thought I was getting good and thought I'd make an easy couple of euro. The scam is they charge you 50 cent to play a game and then you will only win 75 cent if you win.

    So you win 25 cent if you win a game but lose 50 cent if you lose. Which is disgraceful. To win one euro, you have to win four games. If you lost four games, you would lose two euro. What a con job.

    My advice: Avoid.
