Overcharged Playing Royal Match Game

I have been severely overcharged when buying coins to play this game. How do I dispute this and have someone look into the history of the purchases and what is was charged?

In my opinion, that's a clear case of fraud. There's nothing in the game's in-app purchases that costs more than $19.99. There's only one item that costs $9.99. And if they try to make the argument you purchased it four times, that still isn't believable as the cost would then be $39.96.

I, too, have been cheated. At first I didn't realize it because I was beginning to learn the game and could barely see what was available and the cost. After about a week I knew what I wanted but kept seeing wrong amounts, which were "supposedly" canceled. I didn't look at my e-mail amounts in detail until my delegated account (in which I decided to only keep a certain amount) was out of money within a day. I attempted to contact Apple Support but got vague answers. I assumed it because I just didn't understand how to report the situation. After finding this community, I now realize that I have to fight to get my money back. Has anyone had any luck with Apple?

I noticed charges only happening to iPhone users and not with Royal Match on other phones! Also, apple denied my dispute on the charges. So clearly it is a greedy apple /iPhone issue. I will be disputing with credit card. I long deleted app. But I really enjoyed it and would be fine paying some package’s especially when raising the dragons. But, this is so wrong. Especially that apple won’t help but lets us complain here. Thanks 🙏 for those on here letting me know it was not just me.

The ads for this game are incessant in Microsoft's Solitaire for iOS. It looks interesting, but after reading many reviews, it came down to what the ads show (lot's of puzzles to save the king) to what game play is really like (the puzzles very widely spread out with a lot of fluff in between).


It also suffers from the game play of many freemium games. You can advance rather quickly at the beginning, but it becomes nearly impossible - or glacially slow - to advance later in the game without getting the expensive in-app purchases.


At least, this is what a handful of other users have written about the game. I never bothered to try it after reading them.


Basically, I try to never download anything with in-app purchases. I do have a few, but only spent the few bucks to kill the ads in each one.

I had thought that too. But if you can log in and check your purchase history. It appears that Apple will pull the funds at the end of the day. For ex. I usually buy $1.99 for 1000 coins. 2 or 3 times in one day sometimes. and what Apple is doing is lumping all the charges together as one $1.99 x 3 5.97 and so on. I can throw you off. If you have it set up to where your bank alerts you when you are charged.
