Games are fun but malicious. It is very easy to accidentally spend money and developers rarely if ever respond.
Accounts and information is not secure on Kongregate. Beware - don't spend a dime.
If there is a bug in game do not expect any response to issues and god forbid you have an issue with billing... you will lose your bank acct in an hour or less.
To the person who said that the moderation/administration should be boycotted, I agree. The mods do whatever they want here. I've reported corrupt mods a lot in the past but NOTHING gets done because the administration will always take their word over yours. Since that's the case, why even have a report function? If you're just going to take every 6+ paragraph long complaint with a grain of salt why do they still have other mods encouraging users to report things like this? I got my main account banned for no reason at all. Apparently there has been a slew of spammers hitting the room I usually hung out in, and the moderator of that room assumed it was me. When I logged onto my alt account (made in 2011) I was insta-banned on that one as well. I didn't bother coming back a third time, this site is obviously so broken that it would still implement a group of savage and juvenile individuals whom abuse their power at every turn. Seriously, I rather regular in a room full of mindless trolls than put up with mods and admins too lazy and corrupt to listen to reason or facts. I wish someone would do something about this. You can't talk to the kongregate admins, they're just as bad. $#*! that site.
I bought some of the virtual 'Kreds' that are basicly a currency inside of the kongrgate games, i have so for years.
They banned my account as my payments 'suspicious' and refunded the one payment that seemed 'suspicious' and left me without an account.
But the problem is, i have been a member for over 7 years, and spent over $1000 on kreds, on the online multiplayer games on kongregate. Yet they only refunded one measly $20 payment.
I can no longer use the items i paid for, i've pretty much been scammed.
I'm not sure if theres anything legally i can do, most likely not. Which they probably know, because to add salt in the wound, they do not even reply to my emails.
Please look somewhere else for your online gaming needs, kongregate is immoral, could close your account for no reason without a refund for your kreds and the support is just terrible.
The picture shows the only email that i've recieved from them regarding the issue. I did not even ask for my account to be reopened, i just mentioned that there are thosands of dollars of payments that i haven't been refunded for!
I started out in high school, around 2007 but went on a hiatus due to studies and not remembering my account name or password. Returned 3 years later, it was no longer the site I loved. The games were still fun but the fun people I used to chat with were gone and replaced by vicious, immature and spiteful little jerks. The few moderators willing to do something about them were rewarded with demodding in recent years or being harassed constantly with alt accounts. It's mostly spammers, 4chan/8chan edgelord rejects, paedophiles, kids far too young to be on kong being harassed by said paedophiles, kids too young to be on kong making trouble and idiot moderators who do stuff all when someone is flooding a chat room with strings of random letters and numbers. I have ended up blocking most of the regulars in some chat rooms like Achievement Addicts Anonymous and Chocolate Hostage. All they do is harass you, circlejerk, say horrible things and fight over petty drama. It's like the worst of 7th grade, reddit, 4chan/8chan and deviantArt. Homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, misogyny paedophilia, inappopriate content, spamming, harassment... might as well just go to 4chan or reddit or 8chan and have a game going in another tab to get the same results, at least you won't have to make an account on such a garbage site.
Kongergate has become my go to site for flash based web games. It difficult to review, because like Youtube with videos, they don't really produce the games, rather they host them. (okay, well they do sponsor some games, but that is complicated)
They have a huge collection of games.
They have player incentives such as badges, achievements and cards you earn from playing.
They have social tools built in, like chat and friending, though the community is filled with trolls and juveniles.
A great site for wasting time and looing a newer video game developers ideas and a community of similar minded gamers geeks etc that can help with your game development and have fun playing games at
Admins and Mods act like children. It needs to be boycotted or to be gutted from the top down. Horrible business practices.
