Solitaire Cube is a fun, mobile game app that puts a modern spin on the classic single-player card game. Here, you can play Solitaire for cash prizes in one-on-one face-offs or multiplayer tournaments. Playing for real cash adds an undeniably exciting twist.
Tether Studios, a popular game development studio, is the app’s creator. Both Android and iOS users can play Solitaire Cube for real money and prize tickets. Solitaire Cube utilizes the Skillz system to manage rewards (dole out prizes).
A number of popular games and game developers trust Skillz to handle the game’s prize distribution.
What is Solitaire Cube?
Solitaire Cube is a fun, cash-game version of the classic Klondike Solitaire game — sometimes referred to just simply as Solitaire.
In Solitaire Cube, you can win real cash for beating your opponents in gameplay. Everyone is dealt the same board and stack of cards (in the same order). Win points every time you move a card to its home cell (from ace upward according to the card’s suit) and for clearing additional cards from the deck as you shuffle through looking for cards you can play on the board. You can also win bonus points for speed.
You can play practice league games until you feel confident trying for a Solitaire cash prize. And to ensure fairness, you’re matched against only players of the same skill level.
I’ve played the game for several hours over the past few evenings and found the Solitaire Cube app to run smoothly (free of glitches) with responsive touch and fast, fun animations.
While I have won a few cash games, I have mostly played free games. You can play free matches as long as you want without any annoying ads.
Each round takes just a minute or two to complete. You have 5 minutes total to win the round, but within a couple of minutes, you’ll probably either clear the entire deck or get stuck and choose to end the game with the points you were able to amass.
Is Solitaire Cube Legit?
Yes! Solitaire Cube is very legit! You can play this cash Solitaire game and win money from your phone. I myself have won a small bit. From an initial deposit of $10, I cashed out just over $12 in earnings.
- iTunes App Store: Solitaire Cube has a 4.6-star rating (out of 5 stars) based on over 93k reviews
- Samsung Galaxy Store: Solitaire Cube has a 4.5-star rating (out of 5 stars) based on over 7,500 reviews
How to Play Solitaire Cube
It’s not hard to start playing for money on Solitaire Cube. To set up your account and start earning rewards, there are a handful of easy steps to go through.
- Install the app
- Register for free
- Play practice rounds
- Fund your account
- Play a Pro League or cash game
1. Install the App
Install the Solitaire Cube game free on your iPhone or Android.
- iOS users: you can install the app directly from the iTunes App Store.
- Android users: install the app in the Samsung Galaxy store or from the app listing on Skillz.
2. Register for Free
It takes less than a minute to register your account for free. You can select a username and upload a picture, or go with the default image and username recommendations that the app will spin out. (My suggested username, which I kept, was SuchPie61. Completely random and not related to my interest, age, or birthdate.)
When creating my player profile on Solitaire Cube, you can set your player name and image or go with the app’s random recommendations like I did.
You’ll also need to provide your date of birth (for age verification purposes), your address (to verify your U.S. residence), and your email address.
Next, you’ll play a quick tutorial game to get a feel for the game flow.
In a nutshell:
- Select a username or go with the app’s suggestion.
- Set an image or go with the app’s suggested avatar.
- Provide your birthdate and mail address.
- Provide your email address and physical street address.
- Play a tutorial
3. Play Practice Rounds
You can play practice rounds with “Z coins,” a form of in-game virtual currency. You’ll start out with 20 Z coins immediately after you sign up.
- Each free game has an entry fee of 3 Z coins.
- The winner gets 5 Z coins and 1 to 2 Skillz ticketz.
My first practice game of Solitaire Cube was fun and straightforward. I didn’t “win” the game by clearing all my cards, but I did win the match since I cleared more cards and scored more points than my opponent.
Immediately after playing my first practice game on Solitaire Cube, I was prompted to play my next “Novice” game using Z tokes to win more Z tokens.
You can use Z tokens to continue playing free rounds. Skillz tickets are different rewards. They can be redeemed for larger-than-life prizes in the Skillz prize store, including cars, grills, camping equipment and major household appliances.
When you feel comfortable with the game, you can deposit money in your account and try to win some real money online for your gaming prowess.
4. Fund Your Account
It’s easy to fund your account and start playing cash games.
- Tap on your balance in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. If you don’t have any money, it will just read “$0.00” in large green font.
- Select the amount you want to fund. Choose from $10, $20, $30 or $50.
- Choose the method you want to use to fund your account. Options include credit card, debit card, Apple Pay or PayPal.
There is virtually always a bonus cash reward you can earn for your first deposit. For example, I deposited $10 from my PayPal account and was given a $2.50 cash bonus. This means I had $12.50 to gamble with.
5. Play a Pro League (Cash) Game
Once your account is funded, you can enter head-to-head style games where it’s you versus one other player.
- Prizes typically range from $1 (requiring a $0.60 entry fee) to $200 (requiring a $120 entry fee).
- There are occasionally lower or higher pots. For example, today I found a $0.42 match I had not seen before. For this “Apprentice” level game, it required an upfront wager of just $0.25.
In Pro League cash games and in practice games, you will be matched against players of a similar skill level. You are only playing against real people, not a computer.
After your first cash deposit, there will be other bonuses to encourage you to deposit more money. A common reward bonus is to deposit $30 so you get $30 free. You would have $60 to wager with.
Note that you cannot withdraw bonus funds. Those funds are exclusively for gameplay. (You can, however, win other player money that’s come from bonus funds and withdraw those winnings.)
After you fund your account, you’ll be given the opportunity to play paid games for smaller cash prize pools. After you start winning and improving your score, you’ll unlock higher-paying tournaments.
Here are some of the higher prize pools you can play on Solitaire Cube after you have enough game proficiency.
Earning Potential
There are a couple of different ways to look at your earning potential for this game: actual (pie in the sky) earning potential and realistic earning potential.
Actual Earning Potential
You could earn $200 in a couple of minutes on Solitaire Cube, for playing a “Heroic” level game. It’s a head-to-head game with a $120 entry fee.)
And if you were skilled enough to win five match-ups within an hour, that’s $1,000 (or $400 once you take out all of the entry fees from your total prize winnings). Which is not bad as far as side hustles go.
Realistic Earning Potential
Realistically though, you could probably only earn up to $150 a month by playing Solitaire Cube. This would mean averaging $5 per day in earnings over the course of a month.
While there are very high prize pots — $200 or even higher for special big roller tournaments — it’s very hard to win them. The more you play, the better you get — and the better your competition gets. You’re pitted against players of similar ability level (based on average score and number of wins).
In the beginning, matches may be a bit lopsided where you can easily beat some truly unskilled players who make very glaring mistakes. But as you play more games and earn higher rankings, you’re going to be paired against expert players with laser fast reaction time. Speed (and luck) become crucial, and you will win much less often.
Still, it is very possible to play and win more than you lose and average a few dollars a day or so in earnings.
Bonus Ways to Earn
In addition to earning cash for winning games and earning bonus cash for making deposits, there are other ways to earn.
- Refer friends. Get a $1 bonus for each friend you refer and your friend will get a $1 bonus, too. Tap the white cart icon at the bottom of your screen. It will bring you to a page where you can deposit more money to your account or invite friends to also play.
- Daily gifts. Every 12 hours, you can win free ticketz. Tap the cart icon. Midway down that page, tap the gift icon.
- Free Z coins. Earn free Z coins every 2 hours. You can collect your free Z coin gift in the same section where you refer friends or collect your twice-daily rewards.
When you visit the purchase section in the Solitaire Cube app, you’ll see other ways to earn: invite your friends, collect twice daily gifts (gift icon) or collect free Z coins every 2 hours.
How to Cash Out
You can cash out on Solitaire Cube once you have at least $5 in earnings, or you can redeem your earnings via PayPal or Apple Pay – using whichever method you used to fund your account.
- Tap on your profile picture or player avatar (upper right corner of the app).
- Tap “Account” on the dropdown menu.
- Tap “Withdraw” on the menu.
- Go through the prompts on the next screen to withdraw your earnings. You’ll confirm your primary address and the amount you wish to withdraw.
You cannot withdraw bonus cash. Bonus cash is the free cash you get as a bonus for making a deposit to your account. You can use the bonus cash to pay the entry fee for cash games, but you cannot redeem it.
If you happen to win other players’ bonus cash (that they used to place game wagers); that counts as your qualified winnings are eligible for withdrawal.
How to Redeem Ticketz
Solitaire Cube and other Skillz games featured cash prizes and ticket prizes called ticketz. You earn ticketz for winning matches, both free practice games or paid cash games. The higher the entry fee, the more ticketz you can win.
For winning a practice or “novice” game, you win 1 ticket. For winning other paid cash games, you can win anywhere from 20 ticketz to 10,000 ticketz.
In the ticketz store, you can redeem them for a real-life prize.
- Play and win Solitaire Cube matches to win ticketz.
- Tap your ticketz balance (large, red font in the upper left corner of your screen).
- Review the available prizes and select the option you want to redeem your ticketz for.
What Can You Get with Your Ticketz?
The prizes featured on the Skillz Rewards page are truly spectacular, but it takes billions of ticketz (and a few years or more of gameplay) to win some of the best prizes.
Here are some of the featured Skillz prizes and the number of ticketz required:
- Skillz branded ankle socks (company swag): 400K ticketz
- $20,000 luxury shopping spree at Bloomingdale’s: 400 million ticketz
- 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Truck: 2.1 billion ticketz
- 6’ memory foam bean bag chair: 5.3 million ticketz
- XL inflatable kayak, paddle, and gear: 33 million ticketz
- Tiffany & Co. diamond key-shaped pendant necklace: 300 million ticketz
Pros & Cons
As with any game app, you’ll find that Solitaire Cube has its pros and cons.
Pros
- It’s legit. Solitaire Cube is a legit way to earn cash rewards for playing a fun card game from your phone.
- The rewards are powered by Skillz, a reputable gaming rewards system used by trusted cash game apps in iTunes and Google Play.
- You can play free games and have plenty of fun, and not have to watch any annoying ads either.
- You can choose your level of risk. “Apprentice” paid games require just a $0.25 entry fee, or you can play high roller games with a cash entry of $120 or greater.
- It’s fair. For fairness, you’re matched against other players of the same skill level.
- You can cash out your rewards with PayPal — if that was the method you used to fund your account.
- Earn referral bonuses for referring friends. You get a $1 bonus for each friend you refer and they’ll get a $1 bonus, too.

- Players really love the game. Based on reviews from iTunes and the Samsung Galaxy Store, Solitaire Cube has an average 4.6-star rating (out of 5 stars) based on over 98,000 player reviews.
Cons
- You can lose money. Solitaire Cube is a gambling app since you are wagering money. While it is skill-based, the possibility still exists to lose money.
- It can be addicting. I found the game could get overly stimulating or addicting (with the adrenaline rush from wins or near wins), and it’s easy to waste an hour or more of time in the app. (For some, this might mean the app is a super fun way to escape, and they might consider this a pro.)
- You have to play cash games to win prizes. In order to win any prizes, you have to deposit money. You can win ticketz (for real-life prizes) by playing practice games, but you only win 1 ticket per match. If you played Solitaire cube practice matches non-stop for an entire year, and won every single match, you’d have 262,800 ticketz — not even enough to afford even a pair of tube socks.
- You cannot win gift cards for Amazon or other popular retailers. Your earnings are awarded by crediting back the payment method you used to fund your account. If you funded your account with Apple Pay and then won $100, the $100 will be credited to your Apple Pay You can use that money to buy gift cards, but sometimes it’s more fun just to cash out with an Amazon card.
- Solitaire Cube is not available in all fifty states. You cannot play this game app in the following states: AR, CT, DE, IN, LA, ME, and SD. If you do not live in a cash-prize-enabled state, you can still play the game for virtual currency or Z coins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common FAQs users have about the Solitaire Cube game.
Is Solitaire Cube fun?
Yes! Solitaire Cube is very fun, with this assessment based on the app’s 4.6-star rating (out of 5 stars) from over 100k player reviews.
Has anyone actually won money playing Solitaire Cube?
Yes! Thousands of players cash out their winnings every day on Solitaire Cube. I myself played Solitaire Cube. Through several rounds of gameplay, I managed to win and cash out a modest amount of $7.50.
Is Solitaire Cube in the Google Play store?
No, Solitaire Cube is not in the Google Play Store. Google Play’s policy is somewhat inconsistent when it comes to “gambling” or wage-betting games. Lotteries, horse betting, casino games, sports betting, and “Daily Fantasy” games — with real cash wagered — are permitted by Google Play. But “other real-money games, contests, and tournament apps” are not permitted, and Solitaire Cube is considered a “real-money game.”
While this may seem unfair or inconsistent, Android players breathe easy. You can still download the Solitaire Cube app to your Android device. You can download the game from the Skillz game listing or from the Samsung Galaxy Store.
Is Solitaire Cube Worth It?
Yes and no. If you want to play a competitive, fun Solitaire game, then Solitaire Cube is definitely worth it. It’s a very enjoyable, fast-paced game.
If you want a chance at winning some cash prizes too, Solitaire Cube is a good choice.
If you will be disappointed or frustrated if you lose more than you win, Solitaire Cube might not be the right choice. Many players do win more than they lose, but they practice often for speed, skill, and accuracy. These top players are hard to defeat, and if you want to get as good as them, it will take a lot of practice.
If you’re interested in playing a game attached to a guaranteed prize (i.e., reach level 50 within 7 days and earn $30), then game apps like Kashkick or Rewarded Play are going to be a better bet.
And if you’re looking to earn $100 to $500 or more in cash every month, you’re best off skipping games together and focusing on paid surveys, side hustle apps, and other lucrative, remote gigs.
