Recent Dark Pattern Reviews
Competition reported on Mar 21, 2024
You can compete with real money, I am suspicious of whoever uploaded this game to the website because this is obviously a dark pattern. There are probably a few other dark patterns, as people in the reviews mentioned paying money, I am guessing it requires you to pay to enter in some of the tournaments.
