Thrillzz Review

Thrillzz is a recently-developed social sportsbook app that includes pick'em sweepstakes tournaments that s can play with a group of other sports fans. Thrillzz is unfortunately only available to play via their iOS and Android mobile apps, and while reviews of their apps are pretty hit-or-miss, we found their mobile apps to be pretty solid.

The purpose of Thrillzz is to offer a sportsbook for s to bet on sports without having to spend their own money; however, it also serves as a way for people to bet on sports and win cash prizes in states that haven't yet legalized sports betting.

Because there is no purchase necessary to play Thrillzz, they aren't subjected to the same federal laws as traditional sportsbooks, giving them an opportunity to get creative with how they allow players to make money betting on sports.

Our review of Thrillzz will feature some pros in addition to a handful of cons. We think it's important to know what you're getting into before creating an on a sportsbook or sports betting alternative, so we'll paint the full picture, positive and negative. But if you're nervous ing Thrillzz for the first time, rest assured that it's a trusted company that's compliant with US law, and they aren't a scam or anything that resembles a scam.

That said, when Thrillzz got creative to find a way to allow s to bet on sports across the US, they remained creative in the way they try to keep from losing money in payouts to players. Let's break down the pros and cons of Thrillzz in more detail.

🟢 Almost everything about Thrillzz resembles a traditional sportsbook. If you're in a state in which sports betting isn't legal in the US, consider Thrillzz a solid alternative.

🟢 If you're worried about losing money or developing a bad habit in sports betting, Thrillzz makes it fun and easy to bet on sports with artificial Coins. Thrillzz even offers daily rewards to new s, so as long as you don't run out of Coins, you can play for free as long as you'd like.

🟢 There are a ton of sports available to make picks on in the Thrillzz app, from major sports like the NFL all the way to table tennis and e-sports.

🟢 Thrillzz is available in 32 US states, including six states in which sports betting isn't currently legal.

🔴 Thrillzz is only available to play via a mobile app, so if you have limitations on your phone or prefer to make picks on a computer, you're unfortunately out of luck.

🔴 If you want to make real money playing Thrillzz, you must earn at least 50 Tickets before the platform allows you to withdraw funds. Because one Ticket is equal to $1, that means Thrillzz's minimum withdrawal is equal to $50, which is exceedingly high when compared to traditional sportsbooks.

🔴 Thrillzz doesn't have many customer service options, and plenty of negative app reviews cited long response times or no response at all. This wasn't our experience, but was present in multiple reviews of both their iOS and Android apps.

One of our favorite things about Thrillzz is that it's low on the frills (sorry). While many social sportsbooks attempt to satisfy as many s as possible with a wide array of games, Thrillzz knows what the people want out of a social sportsbook — you can make picks just like a traditional sportsbook, and you can play pick'em games with friends.

The one area in which Thrillzz can get a bit convoluted is their currency system, which is typical for a social sportsbook attempting to remain compliant in as many states as possible. There are a few types of currency and two games modes you'll want to understand when you get started.

Before we break down the different ways you can make picks on Thrillzz, let's make sure you're aware of their three different currencies and how they impact the experience. However, if you're an experienced sports bettor and want to get to the nuts and bolts of their social sportsbook, click here for our unbiased review.

In order to stay compliant as a social sportsbook — a requirement if Thrillzz wants to remain legal in states where sports betting hasn't yet been legalized — Thrillzz has devised a system of three different currencies that allow s to make picks for free or play for the potential to win real money.

Here are the different currencies you'll have at your disposal when you start your journey on Thrillzz:

• Coins
  • Available for purchase in the Thrillzz Store
    
  • Use them to make picks or play in a Pick'em Squad
  • Have no monetary value, cannot be redeemed for cash prizes
• Sweeps
  • Get Sweeps in a package when you buy Coins
    
  • Use them to make picks or play in a Pick'em Squad
  • Win a bet with Sweeps to earn Tickets
• Tickets
  • Can be redeemed for cash prizes when you reach 50 Tickets
  • One Ticket = $1 USD
  • Can be used to buy more coins in the Thrillzz Store

Because Thrillzz wants you to have the option to make picks for free or to win real cash prizes, they've developed two different game modes to accommodate s of either preference. Here are the two modes in which you can play Thrillzz:

• Fun Mode: Use Coins to make picks; win more Coins if your picks win
• Sweeps Mode: Use Sweeps to make picks; win Tickets if your picks win

As we've mentioned already, Thrillzz keeps their gameplay very simple. You can play one of two different games on the Thrillzz app: make picks like a traditional sports betting app, or play in Pick'em Squads with friends or other players across the country.

Let's dig in further to Thrillzz's two types of games.

Social Sportsbook

The bread and butter of the Thrillzz gaming experience is their social sportsbook platform. Thrillzz does a better job than most social sportsbooks of looking and feeling like a traditional sportsbook. With their solid variety of sports available to make picks on, you can pick winners or over/unders on just about any game imaginable.

Pick'em Squads

The other game on offer in the Thrillzz app is called Pick'em Squads. It's a typical pick'em game that sets over/unders on team and player prop bets before a matchup begins. s can pick over or under the projected statistic, and the goal is to make as many correct picks as possible to finish as high on the leaderboard as possible.

daily pre-made squads consisting of hundreds of other anonymous players all over the country, or create your own Pick'em Squad by inviting your friends to compete in tournaments in the Thrillzz app. Thrillzz even lets you name your squad and create your own logo for your squad.

Let's get this out of the way first: Thrillzz does not have a lucrative one-time welcome bonus like traditional sportsbooks and some sweepstakes and pick'em providers. Still, Thrillzz delivers an impressive number of free Coins and Sweeps on a regular basis that might even surprise you with their frequency.

Thrillzz has a few different methods for offering promotions to their players. They're generous enough that they'll allow you to make picks for free and even win money with your free Sweeps coins — keep in mind, however, that it's extremely difficult to turn free Sweeps coins into the required minimum of 50 Tickets for withdrawing winnings.

Here are the three types of promotions currently being offered by Thrillzz.

Daily Rewards

One of Thrillzz's most -friendly features is their Daily Rewards system. On Thrillzz, you can earn plenty of Coins simply by logging on each day and claiming your free reward.

The best part about Thrillzz's Daily Rewards, in our view, is that they include a small number of Sweeps in addition to their standard Coins that you can use to make picks in fun mode. Because Thrillzz includes Sweeps in their rewards package, they make it possible for you to earn tickets without spending any money.

• Daily rewards are offered for the first seven days after you create your on Thrillzz.

Wheelzz of Thrillzz

The most exciting form of rewards on the Thrillzz app is their Wheelzz of Thrillzz, a free-to-play game offered daily to all Thrillzz s. Spin the wheel for your chance to win Sweeps or Coins, then make picks with your winnings for a chance to turn them into Tickets.

Free Coins in the Thrillzz Shop

Finally, Thrillzz also offers perks to any s who purchase Coins in the Thrillzz Shop, with the promotion varying depending on the time of year. Not only does Thrillzz include some free Sweeps when s purchase Coins; they also offer anywhere from one to 40 free Bonus Picks that can be used in Sweeps mode to redeem Tickets.

Keep in mind that Thrillzz does not always offer free Bonus Picks when s purchase Coins. So if they're on offer now, it may be smart to make a purchase; if they aren't, it may be wise to wait to purchase Coins, or purchase a smaller amount knowing that you may soon be able to get Bonus Picks in your purchase pack.

Thrillzz offers a mobile app for both iOS and Android s, with the app available on tablets in both formats as well. Because Thrillzz doesn't offer gameplay on desktop, we should be a bit more critical of the product. Let's dig into the Thrillzz app and evaluate its functionality, intuitiveness and overall quality.

The first thing that sticks out to me about the Thrillzz mobile app is that it's interface closely resembles that of a traditional sportsbook. Games are of course sorted by sport, then listed with moneylines, spreads and totals. If you're in a state where sports betting isn't yet legal, the Thrillzz app may present the best opportunity for you to get a similar experience to that of an online sportsbook.

In my experience, the Thrillzz app works tremendously well. I personally love the sportsbook-style interface and find the overall look and feel of the app to suit my expectations for a social sportsbook app. I didn't have any experiences with load times or lagging, nor have I had issues with being automatically logged out or having the app crash. However, plenty of reviews of both the iOS and Android Thrillzz app are very critical of its performance.

To us, the combination of negative and positive reviews in combination with my positive experiences on the Thrillzz app suggests that the app may have gotten off to a rocky start, but has likely been improved dramatically over the last year.

Within both the iOS and Android app reviews, s have occasionally been critical of their customer service, claiming that it sometimes takes a long time to get a response and that some customers have even been ghosted. We compiled their customer options and tested them ourselves — here's what we think of their service.

Because Thrillzz is a social sportsbook instead of a traditional sportsbook, they're more widely available in the US than sportsbooks like FanDuel or DraftKings. That's because you can play Thrillzz with no purchase required — a feature that's not possible on traditional sportsbooks.

Thrillzz is currently legal in 32 US states. Want to know if you're eligible to play? Here's a full list of every state in which Thrillzz is legal to play.

One of Thrillzz's biggest strengths is their wide array of sports available to make picks on. Not only do they feature odds for major sports like NFL football and niche sports like table tennis; they also feature plenty of smaller, amateur, and international leagues within those sports.

Thrillzz also features college sports like men's and women's hoops and NCAA football, ATP and WTA tennis events, and the full gamut of international soccer leagues from EPL to MLS and up to a dozen more.

While the Thrillzz team couldn't offer us a full list of every league available on their platform, they did offer a full list of sports. In our experience, just about any league you might want to bet on is available on the Thrillzz app, so their betting variety shouldn't be something that turns you away.

Here's a list of sports available for making picks on Thrillzz:

• Football
• Baseball
• Ice Hockey
• Tennis
• Soccer
• Basketball
• E-Sports
• Table Tennis
• Boxing/MMA
• Formula 1
• Golf

Because Thrillzz so closely resembles a regular sportsbook, let's take a look at some features that traditional sports bettors might look for in an app like Thrillzz.

Parlays

Thrillzz does in fact allow s to parlay their picks to maximize their earnings. Their parlay engine works just like a traditional sportsbook, and sports bettors will be pleased with the availability of parlays on the Thrillzz app.

There is one big catch, however: Thrillzz does not allow s to build a same-game parlay in their app. s can stack picks from different games, even combining prop bets from a variety of contests. Still, this is one feature where Thrillzz isn't able to stack up to traditional sportsbooks due to their status as a sweepstakes sportsbook.

Live Betting

While their parlay limitations may be frustrating for some s, Thrillzz does allow s to make live picks during a contest, and the experience couldn't be more similar to a traditional sportsbook. Make picks against the moneyline or spread, pick your overs or unders, and even make wagers on player props during each game.

But here's the real kicker: Thrillzz allows s to parlay live picks during multiple contests. The same restriction noted above remains — same-game live parlays are not possible on the app — but the ability to parlay picks from multiple contests is a feature that even some sportsbooks don't offer.

Boosts

Like many sportsbooks, Thrillzz also offers occasional boosts on picks in their app. Odds on an NBA player's points may get a boost during the playoffs, or both teams in an NFL playoff game may have their moneyline odds boosted by a small percentage. If you're a sports bettor who likes to jump on player-friendly odds when they're available, Thrillzz's boosts will be up your alley.

Thrillzz may not boast the largest selection of payment options among social sportsbooks, but they still have plenty of options for you to deposit funds into your if you're ready to load up on Coins. Let's break down Thrillzz's available payment methods for both deposits and withdrawals.

Deposits

Before you can deposit funds into your Thrillzz , they'll ask you to confirm your identity by sharing some personal details, including your social security number. Once you've confirmed your identity, you can use the following methods to purchase Coins and Sweeps:

Withdrawals

The available options for redeeming your cash prize from Thrillzz are the same as the deposit methods, without the inclusion of Apple Pay. The most important thing to know about redeeming prizes on Thrillzz is that they require you to have a minimum of 50 tickets before withdrawing money.

Because one ticket is equal to $1, Thrillzz's minimum withdrawal is equal to $50, which is a huge total — so high that s could argue that Thrillzz is quite brazen about trying to get s to buy more Coins instead of cashing out.

Now that we've cleared the air about Thrillzz redemptions, here are the methods you can use to withdraw money from your Skrillzz :

While customer from Thrillzz is responsive and readily available, there aren't many options for s to choose from. If you're having trouble with the app and need help from Thrillzz, here are your options:

• Submit a ticket via the mobile app. Since your email address will be connected to your , Thrillzz can respond to your ticket via email. When I ed Thrillzz with a ticket on the mobile app, it took them a little over two hours to respond.
• Send them a DM on Twitter/X @Thrillzz. Unfortunately, Thrillzz does not accept DMs from s that aren't verified. So if you're hoping to use Twitter/X to Thrillzz , you're going to have to pay for a feature that used to be free on a social media app that's on the decline.

All told, a customer ecosystem that has such limited options isn't great. But if you use the mobile app to Thrillzz , you probably won't be disappointed. Any company that responds within a few hours is to be commended, and while many reviews cited long response times or no response at all, it's likely that Thrillzz has cleaned that up as they've grown over the past year.

To sum it all up, Thrillzz is a growing social sportsbook that's getting more attention for a reason. They don't bog s down by trying to do too many things at once like pushing casino games or including a barrage of contests. Instead, they focus on their strength: Making picks on Thrillzz is just like betting with a sports betting app, and you can use it in several states where sports betting hasn't yet been legalized.

An impressive alternative for sports bettors in states where sports betting hasn't been legalized

There are certainly some imperfections with Thrillzz — they make it very challenging to be able to win enough tickets to withdraw any money and they aren't available on desktop.

Still, the quality of Thrillzz's social sportsbook is so good that even experienced sports bettors will likely find the platform suitable to their needs. With solid apps for both iPhone and Android, we would definitely suggest giving Thrillzz a try whether sports betting is legal in your state or not.
