Kickback (video game platform)


Kickback.com was an esports platform that allowed users play competitive video games. Players of any skill level could enter ranked matches and compete for a chance to win tournaments using their skills in-game. Kickback integrated on top of popular existing games, where the service adds matchmaking, anti-cheat and support. These features were available to all users, but were made optional for users playing for fun. The site was backed by Y Combinator in 2015.

History

The website kickback.com launched on February 2, 2015 in San Francisco, California by hosting paid tournaments in Minecraft. Players competed against one another in player-versus-player matches for a chance to win prizes. On March 2, 2015, Kickback announced its Y Combinator backing and integration with PayPal. On December 1, 2015, Kickback began allowing users to play.
The website began to lose popularity with its users because of the withdrawal features, which had become empty. Kickback has now become a website claiming to make products for the sports world, on a website which has not been changed since 2018. The site Kickback became remembered as one of the most remembered scambling sites.

Games offered

Kickback offered a variety of minigames. Users are matched player versus player with the objective of defeating an opponent through in-game kills. The site runs daily events that are free to enter and award real prizes.
