Troubleshooting / what to send Support
If something goes wrong (for example, your score doesn't appear, a run ended unexpectedly, or the game froze), first try refreshing or restarting the game and checking your connection. Scores can take a short time to show, and all gameplay may be subject to integrity review.
If it still isn't right, open a ticket at help.honest.money and include:
- Your player name / gamer handle
- The game name
- The date and approximate time
- Your device and operating system
- Browser or app you were using
- What you expected to happen vs what actually happened
- The score or result involved
- A screenshot or screen recording, if possible
- Whether you can make it happen again
