Why not subscribe?! :
1) The Starter version is $34 and not $19 as advertised
2) Very little configuration accessible in Starter, you have to upgrade to Pro
3) Not as comprehensive as mentioned
4) Cashback in $ not in points, while everything else is in points WTF
...
If you have time and $159 to spend per month. Test.
Otherwise, look elsewhere !!!
Hey Patrick
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly value this input from you, as it helps us provide the best experience possible.
We wanted to address the points you raised for clarity:
Our Starter plan is indeed priced at $19 per month, as stated. However, it depends on the number of active users you have so we apologize if you faced any confusion here.
While the Starter plan includes essential features, we understand that some businesses may require additional options that are available in our Pro plan. We’d be happy to discuss your specific needs and how the plans align with them. If there’s something specific you feel is lacking, we would love to hear more details so we can explore potential improvements.
Our cashback system is indeed in points, designed to align with the rest of our points-based rewards structure. If there was any misunderstanding, we’d be glad to walk you through how this feature works.
Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we'd appreciate the opportunity to assist you further. Someone from our support team is assigned to handle all your concerns :)
Macht leider nicht das, was hier angekündigt wird, da schon die Einrichtung der Mails mit der unspezifischen Fehlermeldung "Something went wrong" abbricht.
Unfortunately I have to change review-the app is not working, we haven't got one signle customer signing up for our program after spending days designing it, because it doesn't work. Support is impossible to talk to - their chat is never working. We're getting a better app.
Thank you for your review, we're happy to know that our team was able to help💕
Lots of wasted time and headaches! I so badly wanted this app to be the loyalty tool for my small business, but I am CONSTANTLY being forced to fight fires and fix bugs that seem to appear every other day.
While the customer care team is generally responsive to my cries whenever there is an issue, they are always quick to assert that it's "surely not an issue with their app" and the fault of the other party (i.e. the likes of Shopify, Klaviyo, etc.). However I can say after dealing with numerous bugs over the course of the last few months, that TIME AND TIME AGAIN the resolution to the bug ends up coming from an issue that was identified on the Gameball side (surprise, surprise).
Gamification and loyalty are literally the crux of my business. It is simply unsustainable to be constantly trying to identify and fix the issues of a software company that is unable to deliver on their promise. Even more so outrageous when you consider that this app is not cheap. I have easily already wasted £500+ since my subscription began.
I am on the hunt for a better tool so that I can finally sleep easy at night knowing that my small business is in good hands.
Thank you for your review, Cristina. We are so sad to see it and we totally understand how technical issues could have a major effect on our client's business for that we treat them with high priority and have them fixed in a timely manner to minimize any major implications.
Let's also agree that within the software scene technical issue have a role that no one can deny in all software around us every day. Our team is working on your raised issue and will make sure to avoid it from happening again.
As we valued your partnership since day one, our plans were offered to you with 50% off which is still concurrent with your payments so if you see anything else on your side please let us know about it.
We will always be there to help and we will always be there if anything goes in a way it shouldn’t.
THIS APP IS DISASTER
They creat something that they cannot change and they dont know how to change.
I told them already my website is going to publish on 30th Mar, and they promised definitly will reslove it before the date, but until today I did not get any reply from them. Beside the customization of this app is poor, and the customer service never reply you promptly, I understand the time zone is different, but when you are online why are you still replying so slowly? because they are not prefessional, they dont know their app well, they dont know how they have builded this thing. :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just dont want to speak any more but your reply really pissed me off. You said you have got the confirmation from my side that the problem has been resolved? Who were you contacting? Can you show us the prove?I NEVER GET ANY REPLY FROM YOU! Such a LIAR
Update:
We're sorry to hear that you were unhappy with our previous response. We apologize if our message caused any frustration or misunderstanding.

Thank you again for your feedback and for being a valued user of our app.
Sadly the system inst working. I like the Tool in general but the Support is very Poor. Thes General System is nice in design but its not giving my Customers any Points when they order.... No Response and NO help with my problems.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the issues you’ve encountered. We try our best to match all time zones and always get back!
We made sure to look into your case, find the reason, and contact you since this is not the experience we strive to provide. We would have loved to hear back to ensure you understood the settings you had, which caused customers to not receive points.
Either way, your comment is crucial and we appreciate it.
This app has the potential to be a great app but our experience with it has been substandard, and we just couldn't trust it or the support team in the end.
Our problems started when we tried to add rewards to customers manually but, due to a bug in the system, it prevented us from adding rewards in the admin area. They found the bug but we weren't allowed to manually reward customers for 6 days until they updated the app again on their weekly update. The support representative kindly offered us the Pro package for free as compensation.
We then discovered a bug that prevented customers from receiving the New Customer reward and other rewards failed because of this bug. I reported the bug and asked if they could manually update the customer's account that failed to be rewarded. This didn't happen for a few days and I had to remind them, which is really bad.
We then discovered another bug where a customer got absolutely no rewards for anything. This customer should have received a number of rewards but didn't. I report this bug instantly and I was told 'we will look into it now and get back to you'. They never did get back to me and this customer still has no rewards and, at this time, we couldn't add the rewards manually because of another bug.
This has been a very negative and frustrating experience for us and our business. We've wasted both money and time on this app, and it and its support team failed us. It's a great shame because the app looks great and would have been a lot of fun for our customers.
The support team will answer your request very quickly; quicker than any app that we've seen so far, so they deserve some recognition for that. However, this isn't much good if somebody promises to look into a bug and then doesn't get back to you when they say they would, leaving a customer without any rewards.
We've just deleted the app and using another one that has thankfully worked first time. I'll be seeking a full refund for our first month as it hasn't worked as described.
Hello Steve. Thanks for your review. It makes us deeply sad that this is how your experience with Gameball ends. No system is bugless, and we admit that you've been a little bit unlucky. We've tried our best to compensate you, but we understand how frustrating this can get.
We will get in touch with you to settle a refund. However, we need to highlight that your experience can't be generalized since what happened with you has never happened before with 1200+ merchants .
Thanks for your review, and for your previous support in reporting and fixing those bugs. And we are sorry again for any troubles caused.
Very disappointed to leave this review. There is no way to customize the email to add or delete the default templates as well as the display and settings don't match and a few other minor issues that I have tried to contact customer service several times to ask for help. What drove me crazy was that the live chat dialog (please note that the live dialog does not allow for live conversations, only messages, and their customer service is very slow to respond) was automatically closed after customer service replied to check with a colleague to confirm the issue. I then repeated the above steps back and forth 5-6 times, during which time I had asked to be contacted by email and they stubbornly insisted on using the live dialog box which drove me very crazy. Then the trial was over and I wasn't able to do any personalization. While paying I can still try to use it for 7 days but it has taken all my patience.
Hello Chi,
First and foremost, I'd like to extend my sincere apologies for the challenges you've faced, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
For email customizations and settings: While our investigations show it's fully operational, we understand you might be facing isolated issues. Let's schedule a brief call to delve into specifics and swiftly resolve any concerns.
Live Chat Experience: I understand the frustration you experienced with the live chat dialog. We recently underwent updates, which may have caused some confusion and have been identified and rectified now. Our live chat is now fully operational, allowing for seamless conversations. I appreciate your understanding during this period of maintenance.
To make things right, I'd like to offer you a personalized support session. Our team is eager to ensure you make the most of our platform, tailoring it to your goals. As a token of appreciation for your patience, as well as a complimentary month on any paid plan when you decide to reactivate.

A hideous thing! I was trying out the $ 120 / month version, it's horrendous! After I change plans, everything is bugged in the control dashboard, also you cannot customize the email, the GAMEBALL brand appears everywhere, ruining my brand, customer service is non-existent, in live chat I am never online, believe me guys, it looks very cool as an app, but it really isn't. IF YOU COULD PUT 0 STARS.

UPDATE: I finally manage to contact customer service, asking to remove their brand from the email footer, what do they reply to me? They answer me like "We can not remove our brand for anti-spam" what excuse is ???? I'm a developer and it doesn't take anything to remove it, with a bit of CSS or a change to the email and everything is removed, can I ever pay $ 120 a month for a product that doesn't contain my branding? Valutation: 0 STARS!
Thank you for your review. We are so sad to see your review and would to clarify that tech issues are frequently present in all software around us and our team was able to resolve time cautiously.
As for the email footer branding, since we abide by CASL and CAN-SPAM laws by which we prevent our clients from any spam threats thus we decide not to remove our branding from the footer of the emails that are sent out from Gameball to your clients. Meanwhile we offer wide flexibility to customize the email content and to remove the footer from the widget itself
