Sorare reviews

Used it today; doubts eased, worked fast

Was doubtful, needed help after a messy install; replies quick, actually simplified things.

Started hopeful, used for morning commute; packaging fine, still no follow-through.

Pretty disappointed — the reward didn't match my finish, I expected a €30 card and got a €7 one. Feels like a bait-and-switch. Interface was slick though, so weirdly promising. I hope they sort it out.

I'd say don't trust this at first — then again, it's not totally ruined. I bought a big stack of new-season cards for my tournament deck and to flip for cash, CEO changed rules mid-stream and values dropped. Support gave partial credits, so I'm annoyed but oddly relieved.

I had doubts before signing up — thought it could be okay, maybe worth a shot. Those doubts didn't go away. They kept my payouts citing any small excuse, allowed only a passport upload, and communication is all bot. Oddly the interface is slick, but that doesn't fix no real support, not at all.

I wasn't sure at first — after a few clunky fantasy sites and losing patience, I tried this. It just feels... solid, like something that actually gets used daily. The interface is playful and smooth, I tinker with my roster often and it stays fun. Support answered a weird question fast, so I'm actually happy.

Started out kinda unsure if I'd get help or just canned replies, honestly. I reached out right after ordering and used it the next day — first impression was cautious but pleasantly surprised. They stuck with me, answered the odd question, and changed my mind. Still minor glitches, but overall relieved and happy I went ahead.

support is glacial, you open a ticket and wait days, no back-and-forth chat so it’s annoying when something’s wrong. Still, I keep coming back, so clearly it does what I need most nights.

Right in the middle of a match day, when I'd been playing for a couple of years, I noticed the roster I’d built just felt flimsy. I started with decent expectations, fun concept, nice UI, cards that looked good and actually felt usable — for a while that was true. Lately they keep minting new cards so often it waters down value, and a rules update made some of my older cards barely see play. Still, I'm glad I gave it a shot; parts of it work well, but don't be surprised if it feels unstable sometimes.

I first spotted this on a streamer, thought I'd try it and told a buddy to jump in. At first it was fine, but digital purchases feel like they vanish and support replies are slow — like, slow. Delivery of bought items was hit-or-miss and I kept topping my roster only to see updates nerf things. I'm closing my account.

older cards get bumped to "classic" and honestly they feel kinda sidelined, there's not much to do with them now. I told my sister about it and she's hooked. So yeah, enjoy it, but don't go overboard buying cards.

it freezes, crashes, and stuff you buy shows up late or acts like it never arrived. Customer service was the worst part — slow replies, copy-paste answers, and no real help when I asked about stuck trades. I put a few hundred in thinking I could at least recoup some cash, but selling cards is a headache and you basically get peanuts back, or a tiny coupon for something you still have to pay for. Delivery of purchases and confirmations was unpredictable, so you’re always second-guessing if the transaction even went through. I still like the idea, and yeah it made me a bit sad — could’ve been great — but until they fix delivery and actually support customers, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I was halfway through a messy evening of replying to messages when I accidentally accepted a ludicrously low offer—my first real misclick in three years. At first I felt sick; the buyer's profile went quiet and the platform's support seemed to vanish. I opened a ticket, followed up, waited eight days, and thought I'd been left out to dry. Then, finally, a helpful agent did get back and offered a partial refund plus a note to tighten their offer confirmation flow. That ping in my inbox — that moment I realized someone was actually helping — was such a relief. I'm glad it ended better than it started. If you're using the site, double-check before you hit accept, and don't be shy to push support if it takes awhile. I'd like quicker response times, but happy they at least fixed it in the end.

go to your bank and ask for a refund — it worked for me. I came to that conclusion quick. The new "essence" setup basically turned things into a gamble. You hand over essence, you forfeit it, and then you get a random card. Most of the time it's the dregs. The good stuff? Seems to land with their inner circle or friends. Sketchy, honestly. I tried customer support, I tried staying calm, I tried twice over a month — same pattern. One helpful bank rep sorted a refund, different rep, different rules, but hey, it was enough to fix my immediate loss. My tip: keep screenshots, call your bank early, and don’t assume this is a fair trade. I wish they’d just be transparent and stop dressing up a random draw as a loyalty mechanic. A bit of humour helps — laugh now, save your essence later — but I'm not playing that roulette anymore.

buy a card, put it in a squad, watch scores and markets move. The interface is clean enough and navigating the marketplace doesn’t feel painful, but there’s this persistent sense that the rules aren’t public‑facing. My first impression was: useful tech, questionable incentives. It’s not scammy, more like a slick shop that nudges you to keep buying. The cards themselves feel... tangible enough as NFTs, they load fine, transfers are quick so delivery of a buy is rarely an issue. Pricing is the annoying bit — decent players rarely drop below about £30 and prices often seem influenced by the platform, not just basic supply and demand. I’ve seen young users (kids using a parent’s account) get roped into bids because it’s so easy to click and chase a “must‑have” card. In practice, if you’ve got spare cash and want a clean NFT marketplace for the cards they issue, it works and it’s actually pretty reliable. If you’re treating it like a hobby, fine; if you’re expecting investment returns or a fair playground for fantasy, be cautious. Best time I’ve found to buy is the off‑season or when there’s no major tournament — prices settle a bit then. All in all: solid platform, with some practices that make me uneasy. Not perfect, but usable if you know what you’re getting into and don’t let it turn into an endless spending loop.

I remember sitting at my kitchen table after a long day, scrolling through the app and thinking, nope — I'm done. I found Sorare because a buddy sent me a link a few months back and I even tipped my cousin to try it. At first it was fun. I bought a few players, got arena tickets, won matches, it felt rewarding. Wins came often. Then things flipped. Over a run I lost 16 matches in a row using the tickets that were supposed to help. I stayed stuck in level 4 for seven straight weeks and that’s when the frustration hit. The app kept nudging me to buy cards from the market — “buy to keep playing” — so I did. Didn’t change a thing. Promotions didn’t come. My cards wouldn’t sell either; crickets when I listed them. Meanwhile I saw plenty of other listings moving. Felt sketchy, like bots or weird seller behaviour. Support was slow and didn’t really fix anything. Not saying it’s a total scam, but it felt rigged enough to be annoying. The moment I actually felt satisfied was weirdly when I deleted my account. Relief, honestly. Relief from the guessing, relief from spending time on something inconsistent. There were good parts — early matches were fun, interface is clean — but the market and match outcomes left too many questions for me.

some of the extras included were more useful than I thought — little touches that made setup smoother. That’s the kind of thing I appreciate. Overall I’m positive and still invested. If you care about delivery and decent service, they’re doing better than a lot of places. I’d recommend giving them a try and reaching out to support if something’s off — they often help, and sometimes they surprise you in a good way.

I wouldn't put serious money into this platform anymore. I used to enjoy it and I paid a lot, but repeated rule changes and the way they handled early investors made those purchases feel pointless. I spent thousands on cards and specifically put over a grand into the so-called legend league just to be competitive, only to see the format shift and the league effectively vanish next season. That left me with cards I can't use the way I expected. What bothered me most was the feeling that cards were oversold every season so value diluted, and updates seemed designed to push players to rebuy rather than protect existing owners. Customer support replies sound polite but solved nothing for me; promises were made in messages and then ignored in practice. I tried to ask for a refund or at least some compensation when functionality disappeared, but nothing meaningful came from those conversations. The game used to be fun and felt like an investment for committed players. Now it feels like chasing a moving target where past choices are devalued. If you like taking risks and can accept that your collection might become unusable next season, be my guest. If you care about protecting the money you put in, I would be cautious. My brother and I loved building teams in the early years; there's real disappointment here, not just frustration. My advice to new players is to start small, treat this as entertainment rather than an asset, and don't assume any card will keep its usefulness. I don't want to be dramatic, but I also can't pretend this was a good financial experience. Hope they fix the transparency and start valuing longtime users, because that would change the whole picture. I'd really like them to publish a clear roadmap, engage with veterans honestly, and consider compensating people who lost key functionality; that would at least show they care. Right now I'm disappointed and cautious moving forward.

the actual items (digital cards) arrive quickly, but everything around them feels like a separate, fiddly system. Buying a card is instant most of the time and it shows up in your account right away, which is nice. But moving money in and out? That’s where the friction lives. Withdrawals take longer than I thought they would, and there’s a flat fee that eats into your returns more than you’d expect. I got my first payout after a week of back-and-forth, and the final amount was noticeably smaller thanks to fees at multiple stages. It works, sure, but it’s not seamless.
Customer service is okay but inconsistent. I opened a ticket when a transaction hung and got an automated reply fast, then a human follow-up a few days later. The person I eventually chatted with was pleasant and tried to explain the fee structure, but there’s a lot of boilerplate language and it didn’t entirely match what I saw in my account. I appreciated the polite tone and that someone actually answered, but the resolution was slow and left me needing to double-check things myself. So: responsive but not reassuring.
I also want to say the platform doesn’t hide its marketplace nature — the best stuff costs real money and the free or entry-level options don’t let you compete seriously. The scoring rules feel changeable and a bit opaque (I found myself guessing why certain players scored high or low). That made the whole thing feel less like a game and more like watching a market move, which is fine if that’s what you’re after, but not what I expected. My buddy who I tipped ended up quitting after a week because he didn’t like the fees and unpredictability.
Bottom line: if you want fast delivery of digital goods, it mostly does that. If you care about clear, predictable cashouts and straightforward customer support, expect some headaches. It’s functional, sometimes useful, but not polished — and you’ll notice the cost at every step.
