“I really like Kingpet because it had games to play and was very entertaining.”

Adam B.
3/30/23

I like Kingpet because it has entertaining games to play such as the Kingpet mini game. I also liked seeing all of the other cute dogs and voting for them. However, I had to give this review a 4 out of 5 because you can pay money for your dog to have votes. I do not think this is very fair but the app is still adicting and fun.

“I Want the Money that I Won”

My cat was the winner of a KingPet contest last year. My winnings were $3,429. I submitted everything they asked for to claim my winnings. They sent me a message that I didn't qualify for any winnings. No explanation as to why. No way to contact anyone for an explanation. Just a computer generated message, saying basically, you're not getting anything, go away.

I had my yorkie in this contest
You have to pay pretty much to win. I invest several hundred dollars and was in top 5 when the kicked us off the contest. They took my money and then through us out
And gave absolutely no reason for doing so!

Don't put your money into this they will steal it!

Fun contest, but cash prize only goes to Regional winner. We were 2nd in our state and received 800 votes, however in the beginning we were under the impression the 1st-10th place state winners won a cash prize because of how the prize grid was laid out.

Ce site pratique l abus de pouvoir, il se prevaut d etre gratuit, tres vite il vous accuse de faux comptes sans preuves, leur service client est incompétent,, vous rendent invisible dans vos commentaires, reduisent sans explications un concours de base de 21 jours a 6 jours pour booster les achats de votes bref sous prétexte d un concours qu il manipule de a a z, ne font rien contre les joueurs qui vous arnaquent et rsstent presents sur leur site,, n y perdez pas de temps, ni d argent! Dommage pour plusieurs participants qui sont honnêtes et de bonne foi et qui se font littéralement arnaquer...

The closer you get to the end of the contest, the harder to win. You MUST purchase votes! People who cannot afford it will not win. These people use that money to support their stupid contests. You can literally see the massive jumps in some people's votes overnight. That's not from honest voting, it's from $$$$$$$
Not wasting my time again with this shady company!

I'm not sure this is very legit

How is it someone can just buy votes for their pet and take the win? Many people cannot afford to do that. Maybe prefer to win by their pet getting legitimate votes!
Not fair at all.

I entered the contest that just ended on 2/28/2023 and after being stupid enough to purchase votes, my dog got 1st in my state yet, there was no actual REAL money won; instead, I got 1,000 free votes for the next contest. This is a joke and obviously a scam. I had read that people's dogs won first or second in their state, winning almost $200 and yet I was dumb enough to spend more money that was basically just thrown away. It gives you false hope and excitement listing you're first through third in your state (Region) because you don't win any money. What a joke! I feel So stupid for paying as much money as I did, be smart and don't learn the hard way that I did, You all are SCAMMERS!

I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who loves cats and dogs! It's a great game, fun to play, easy to play and very addicting to play (to me anyways.) Totally awesome prizes for winners and you CAN actually win! I have never won anything ever until I played KINGPET! It is the best! You get to see a lot of cute pets! You also get to meet and make friends with people who share the same passion as you. I really do recommend KINGPET to everyone!

It's pay-to-win, whoever pays KingPet wins. Just that simple. Also there is zero information on how to collect your winnings if you do "win". The money all just goes to KingPet, it's such a blatantly obvious scam I'm amazed they're still around but I guess there's a sucker born every minute.

Tip for consumers:
Use your free vote but don't give them any money. Be aware that whoever pays the most for votes will win, so it's pointless to even vote.

Products used:
This site is a voting site. For free you get one vote. If you pay you get more votes the more you pay. It's absolutely paying KingPet to increase votes, there is no real return - if you "win" a contest by spending $5000 you only get like $200. It's a total scam. Little information on the site as to how to collect, no oversight to prevent vote trading which is rampant. Just a flat out scam.

You people need to be shut down for the way you conduct business. Dishonest Thieves!
My pup supposedly won $50 from the contest but they want access to your PayPal granted to them firsts while you submit two forms of documentation to them.
Simply BS, we didn't need to submit or grant access for votes. Smh ‍
I hate thievery!

After developing relationships & trustworthy trades, they have started messing with people's accounts. They constantly lock them & don't allow you to place free votes. Don't kid yourself, they just want your money. As soon as you get ahead, they lock you out. No customer service to contact to help you. Invade your privacy asking fir documents they should not need for a "fun" little contest.

I entered our dog in KingPet 3 years ago. As of today 3 contest right now. I never won anything on this app. But its fun and I have Never paid for Any of my votes. I wait every 9 min to get my next free vote but u can only vote up to 10 free votes a day. I'm on the site to check the dogs in the competition and to just see where my Thunder is. But it can be addicting but sometimes I forget to get back on the app by doing other things in general!

Total scam we entered king pet and found out after the contest started that it was a total scam my kids were exited at first but then got really disappointed because our cat was in 365 place. And you can vote for yourself so that's how people earn first place and if you want lots of votes you have to pay.don't take the chance!

I was scrolling past social media one day and came across kingpet to enter my cat in a contest, I was so excited to enter in since I've never done anything like this before. Little did I know, I started to wonder why my cat hasn't been racking up votes like the top competitors have and realized that a big majority of them exchange votes with other players, buy their own votes, win votes through achievements, and vote for their own pet. This thing became addicting and I would check on it every other day to every day. Placing in votes whenever I could. At first it started off small with me donating my own money to get votes and then i started making bigger purchases. I bought more votes than the amount I could actually won. At the fifth day before the contest was over I stopped buying votes because I knew buying more would defeat the purpose of winning money when the amount spent would be nearly the same as the amount won. For the record, buying votes is expensive and it's a total gamble. This game is basically a game of who has the deepest pockets. A couple hours before the game ends, and multiple other competitors are fighting over first place and the temporary first place winner is constantly being replaced by someone else. I could've just bought something else more useful to me with the money I spent or saved it but I learned the hard way that nothing in life is free. If it were an honest game and no one can buy votes, exchange, and vote for your own pet it probably would've gotten a better review. The whole website is super enticing for someone who doesn't know any better. There's a big trend of competitors with a major sob story so don't fall for it. The money even takes 15 days to process once they have the documents they need: ID and proof of residence plus PayPal account

As shown on the site I should have won a cash prize. After winners were announced I waited to be contacted, only to receive a notification that I was awarded votes for the next contest. Many friends paid for votes to get me to the goal and this company is saying this is how their policy works and I will not receive prize money nor a refund. False advertisement. Do Not Pay for votes.

Do Not Buy votes to win cash.

Excellent love the set up! The page is easy to understand and well organized. The only thing I would change is when voting sometimes people's votes don't go through because they have to sign in through Facebook.

You can earn achievements that you can save up to use in a competition. Things like voting for others, voting 7 days in a row, lots of things. Some give you 1000 votes.
That seems to be how people get so many votes by saving up achievements.
Yes others will buy votes for themselves but that is their choice.
I've entered contests and strangers have bought votes for my dog.
Having big social media following can help with voting as followers can vote for you and upto 10 times a day.

I have investigated this website as part of my job and company funds. This business needs shut down! The "winners" are consistently the SAME accounts and unless you spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars, there's no way to get more votes than these accounts. A few of these account owners seem to be related to or connected to the owners of the company, Playground.

Furthermore, when you start getting enough votes to get close to having more than the regular winning accounts, the website either won't let you login or they start cheating you out of votes, even the ones that you purchase!

Don't waste your time or money! I am unable to login now. I get a response saying "too many login requests, try again in a few minutes". It's been 3 days. The contest I'm in ends in 3 days. I suspect I'll get access after it ends so there's no way for me to win this current contest.

Tip for consumers:
DON'T GET SCAMMED ON THIS SITE!

This company has committed fraud on 4 of my credit cards, I have not a problem paying for what I purchased but not for fraudulent activity after the contest is done. I'm disabled and going to the State Attorney General and the BBB to get them investigated for fraud. Don't give any credit information to them, they even got to cards that I have never used. Be careful please.

Not fair. People have to buy 10,000 votes to put their pet at the top, seriously? What's the matter you don't have enough confidence in your pets beauty that's real nice. You have to buy votes or trade votes with people? Can't this contest just be one on sheer honesty and your pets beauty?
