SkillClash India Review

FAQ

SkillClash Review Details - How the test was conducted

Our review is a combination of info and opinions compiled both recently and a year ago. Our gambling experts spent some time with the platform in May of 2022 to form opinions on the site and its games. Since then, we've compiled their notes and visited the site again on the 5^th of August 2022.

We have now compiled all our notes and opinions together to form an in-depth review of the platform Skill Clash. When we review a platform, it undergoes strict scrutiny in eight different categories. 

These categories include trustworthiness, account creation, withdrawals and deposits, bonuses and campaigns, games and products, usability, customer support, and features and uniqueness.

SkillClash Trustworthiness Rating

Based on our own experiences and some external customer reviews, we decided to rate it 3/5 stars for trustworthiness. While this might not sound ideal, it's luckily a category that any online platform can change over time. 

The main reason for our lowered points is that some customers claimed they could not deactivate their accounts or withdraw their money.

While these issues would be serious if true, it might have been a once-off problem. However, we noted that Skill Clash has no Responsible Gaming Policies on their website, which you would expect from a real-money platform.

Is SkillClash Licensed and Certified in India?

Yes, it is a business incorporated under the Companies Act of India, and they have a registered office in Awfis, 1^st Floor, L-29, Outer Circle, Connaught Place, New Delhi – 110001, India.

When Was SkillClash India Launched?

Based on the information we could find, skillclash.com was launched in 2021. Their services have since remained active, although the platform has not undergone much change since their launch.

Does SkillClash Have a Good Reputation?

SkillClash currently has a fairly mysterious reputation. They have barely any reviews online, aside from a single good and a single bad review on Trustpilot. 

They do not offer much on their website aside from a few games on the home page. Their information under 'About Us' seems fairly transparent, so we have no immediate reason to think they're untrustworthy.

How Popular Is Skill Clash?

Based on the limited number of skillclash reviews online, it's fair to say that they are not that popular. 

This fact might simply be because, as a real-money platform, they are far from the best or that players prefer their other platforms for casual games – namely Quizzop and Gamezop.

Is it a Listed Company?

We have no information pointing towards Skill Clash being a listed company. Advergame Technologies Private Limited currently owns them. Based on this, we can note that they are not listed and are indeed privately owned.

Brands Associated with SkillClash

The owning brand, Advergame Technologies Private Limited, owns two other platforms alongside SkillClash. 

These platforms are called Gamezop (a casual in-browser gaming platform not for cash) and Quizzop (a casual quiz-like platform where you compete against others for fun in quizzes).

Responsible Gaming Policies

It does not have any responsible gaming policies listed on their website, which is unorthodox for a real-money platform. 

Usually, these platforms have some sort of Responsible Gaming Policy to assist users experiencing signs of addiction to online casino games.

Skill Clash Creating an Account Rating

Signing up to the site is straightforward, and we've given the process 4/5 stars. All you need to provide is your location and your phone number since the company only operates for players in India.

They also note that you cannot be playing from Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Orissa, Sikkim, Telangana, or Andhra Pradesh. We only deducted one point since more traditional account creation options – such as through email – are often safer.

Information You'll Need to Sign Up

Signing up requires little in terms of documentation. The only things you must provide when signing up are:

• Your location through your browser – since the game is only available to players in India.
• Your mobile number so that they can create your account for you.

How Easy Is It to Create an Account?

The account creation process is straightforward and requires no additional work on your part. Once you provide your mobile number, you can create your account and start playing games.

How Skill Clash Verifies Your Documents

Based on the information we could find, it does not aim to verify any documentation as long as you meet the requirements for being allowed to play. 

These requirements include being over 18 years of age, being a resident in India that is not from Assam, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Orissa, Sikkim, Telangana, or Andhra Pradesh, having a valid billing address within India, having a registered PayTM e-wallet linked to your account, and that you are not depositing money originating from illegal activity.

How Quickly Can I Start Playing with Real Cash?

You can start using the site immediately after creating your account and depositing money. 

Note that some games are 'free-to-play' and do not require any deposit, while others are 'paid' games that require a deposit.

SkillClash Withdrawals and Deposits Rating

Regarding withdrawals and deposits, we gave Skill Clash a 2/5-star rating. We cannot give them 5/5 stars because they do not have a large enough variety of deposit or withdrawal options. 

All their available options are through e-wallets, which is not always the ideal choice, and unlike withdrawals that have a few options, their deposits only have a single option.

Deposit Methods

SkillClash provides users with only a single option to deposit money. This option is through PayTM. The expected processing time for this deposit is usually instant since it is an e-wallet. The platform lists no minimum or maximum for your deposits.

How to Withdraw Your Earnings

Unlike their single deposit method, the site offers a few different e-wallets for those who want to withdraw their money:

Do I Need to Provide Any Documents to Withdraw Earnings?

SkillClash does not list any requirements for documents during withdrawal procedures. However, we would expect that they retain the right to ask you for any documents, such as ID should your withdrawals warrant suspicion from their team. 

In cases such as these, the required documents are usually straightforward – such as verifiable banking details, verifiable ID, etc.

SkillClash Bonuses & Campaigns Rating

The site has a few small bonuses or campaigns, but nothing worth writing home about. Their lack of meaningful bonuses or campaigns has led us to give them 1/5 stars. We can't give them 0/5 stars because they do offer some bonuses.

Introducing Bonuses

Skill Clash currently provides INR 10 free to new players upon signup. Other than that, they do not seem to offer any introduction bonuses for new players. While INR 10 might seem little, you should be able to play a few games on their platform with it.

Current Campaigns

The only campaign we could find information on is a discount to play their game Bottle Shoot Battle and a 100% promo cash bonus on any deposit of INR10 or more. 

While this is at least something, it's by no means a grand campaign that can compete with the likes of larger online casinos.

SkillClash Game & Products Rating

Regarding available games, we rated SkillClash 2/5. While they have some variety, there aren't many games to play. Larger, more established real-money online gaming platforms will dwarf SkillClash's selection of games by a rather substantial amount.

Based on what we can see, it currently offers between 15 – 30 games, which really isn't many.

Which Games Can I Play at Skill Clash?

SkillClash offers a choice of either 'free-to-play' or 'paid' games. These are all in different categories and fall more under casual games than they would casino games. 

Free-to-play games require no money to participate in and are often also versus other players for those who want a competitive match. However, paid games not only pit you against others but give you the chance to win some money back.

From Where Does SkillClash Source Its Games?

They do not list any game providers on their website, so it's safe to assume their games are their own. These games include a range of things from rummy to ludo to more unique titles such as 'blazing blades' or 'fruit chop.'

Skill Clash Usability Rating

One of the areas in which we can give them a good score of 5/5 stars is usability. Their platform is simple to use, the games are easy to understand, and they make it accessible across a range of platforms for those who want choices.

Compatible Devices

Since it operates through your browser and doesn't require downloading any SkillClash app to play mobile games. You can expect it to work on any device with a reliable browser such as Chrome. 

SkillClash recommends using Chrome Mobile for the best experience, but we've found that it will work fine on desktops, laptops, or tablets.

What We Think about the Feel of SkillClash

SkillClash doesn't bog you down in any unnecessary aesthetics. They keep things straightforward and show what you want to see. Their platform feels nice and simple to use, with clear pictures of their games on full display. 

They also make sure to show their current bonuses at the top of the page so that when you open SkillClash, it is the first thing you see. We have no issues with the feel of SkillClash.

Updates, releases and improvements to the product

While it has not changed the visual layout of their website since launch, they have updated the home page's icons for their current popular games when necessary. Since their launch in 2021, they have undergone quite a few rotations of games.

They do not seem to have changed anything about their service, registration processes, or even their terms of service.

Skill Clash Customer Support Rating

We can rate SkillClash's customer service 3/5 stars. Based on our experience, they offer three different ways to get in touch, which isn't bad, but they can take a while to respond. 

We believe that any real-money platform benefits from more options to reach support, and with only three available, we cannot give SkillClash website 5/5 stars.

Keep in mind that to use any of SkillClash's support services, you must be located in India and be able to log in to your account first.

How Can I Reach Out to SkillClash?

There are a few ways in which you can reach out, including the following:

• Email
• Live Chat
• Telephone

Skill Clash Features & Uniqueness Rating

Regarding features and uniqueness, we can't give SkillClash much more than 2/5 stars. Compared to other online real-money gaming platforms, they offer very little to differentiate themselves from competitors. 

While they have a few of their own games, they do not have nearly the number of games or the number of categories as some of the other giants. 

How Is SkillClash Different to Other Online Casino Sites?

The main way in which it differs from other online casinos is that it isn't exactly a casino. While the site does offer paid games with a chance for winnings, they also focus largely on casual games that are 'free-to-play.'

Depending on how you want to play, you can find a seat at SkillClash with or without money.

This option for free-to-play games would be the main differentiating factor alongside some of its unique games. It's worth noting that they base their 'unique' games on already existing games, so we can't give them a higher score for uniqueness or features.

What type of Player is SkillClash best suited for?

Since the site offers the choice of enjoying casual free-to-play games, we believe the platform is best suited to the likes of:

• Casual gamers who want to relax to some browser games and skill based games  without paying.
• Casual gamers who want the option to put some money into a game when they feel like it, instead of being obligated to do it for every play session.

SkillClash – Our Verdict

Our final verdict is that while it seems like an interesting idea, they aim at two targets simultaneously and somewhat fail at both. 

They provide a platform for free-to-play games, but there are already heaps of those gaming apps available on both App Store and Play Store for casual gamers.

On the other end, they offer some 'paid' games. Still, with some customers complaining that withdrawals aren't functional, you might be better off spending money to gamble online at more established, reputable online casinos.

What We Love about SkillClash

SkillClash does a few things that we like, including:

• Having both free-to-play and paid game options.
• Having games that require much smaller amounts of money to play compared to some online casinos.

Drawbacks - How SkillClash Could Improve

We believe that while the site tries to do something unique, it can improve in the following ways:

• Focus more energy on their selection of games and addressing customer concerns.
• More customer support options.

Our Final SkillClash Review Rating

Based on our tallied scores over the eight different categories, we've scored 3/5 stars. 

While there are certainly things to enjoy about the platform, we feel that they don't succeed particularly well at being a platform for free-to-play games or a platform for paid, real-money games.
