My Experience with Solitaire Tycoon

I’ve recently been playing Solitaire Tycoon, a traditional card game (only on iOS devices) where I can explore ways to earn extra income. To get straight to the point, in the time I’ve been playing it, I’ve reloaded a total of $58 into the game and received close to $120 in cash bonus at the same time, however my cumulative withdrawals in two weeks were $312. It’s important to note that the cash withdrawals have to be greater than $10, don’t make this mistake.

Is Solitaire Tycoon Legit?

I can tell you that Solitaire Tycoon is perfectly legal, but only in states where gambling is legal, such as where I live in California. I have never had any legal trouble playing this game though.

How Does It Work?

This game blends familiar mechanics from games like Spider Solitaire, FreeCell, and Pyramid Solitaire but adds a multiplayer twist. My opponents are of a similar level and all use the exact same deck of cards, which means that victory depends on who can complete the game matches the fastest and most efficiently (it’s essential to complete the game match in 90 seconds or less if you want to maximize your chance of securing a prize). The top three finishers in the game receive real money prizes, the amount of which depends on the entrance fee. Like me, I usually like to play one-on-one games where the entrance fee is $3.

How do I withdraw my money?

I usually top up and withdraw via PayPal, but of course there are other options within the game such as Apple Pay and credit card payments that are supported. Oh yeah, there is a fee for withdrawals, about 10%, which is normal in all cash games.

Final Verdict

If you’re a solitaire pro looking for a competitive (and profitable) challenge, this might be worth a download. But a word of caution: like any cash-based game, it rewards your level of the skill—so casual players might want to practice before jumping into high-stakes matches.
