At WinZO, we don’t just build games, we build communities. And nobody represents that spirit better than Fred Vidal, a casual gamer who turned his love for Candy Match and Ono (WinZO’s version of Uno), into real wins.
We reached out to Fred and spoke to him about what works for WinZO and how we can be even better for all our trusted users.
From Casual Plays to Real Competition

Fred always wanted to make some money with fast-paced, strategic games and this is where, he believes Candy Match on WinZO got him in. Uno, which warrants more strategy, keeps me grounded and never lets me get ahead of myself. “Candy Match is my go-to when I want quick fun, but Ono is where the real brainwork happens,” he says. When he discovered both games on WinZO, he was hooked instantly.
“I got a $1 sign-up bonus, so I thought, why not? Used it to play a few rounds, and boom, I was already winning real cash. And for me, the best part is that at all times, the competition really feels legit. You’re not playing bots, you’re up against actual people, and that makes every win satisfying.”
What Keeps Fred Coming Back?
Fred, who has been quite an experienced player of mobile games, was actually very detailed with his takeaways.
Here are the top talking points from this conversation:
Real players, real thrills. “In Ono, you can tell you’re against real opponents. Some take their time plotting moves, others play fast. Only humans take forever to respond even as the clock ticks down. Either way, it keeps the game exciting. No bots, no weird AI moves, just real competition.”
Smooth and secure withdrawals. “I was skeptical at first, but cashing out to PayPal took minutes. No hidden fees, no sketchy delays, just straight to my wallet. This was extremely refreshing for me. Since, I was not very sure I withdrew 5 dollars and it came to my bank account. This won me over.”
A growing global community. “I read about WinZO having 200 million plus users, and you really feel that diversity in matches. You get players of all skill levels, which keeps things interesting.”
Trust and reputation. “The app seemed legit to me with 4.5-star ratings on the App Store, but I still wanted a second opinion. Checked Reddit and Trustpilot for what users are actually saying and the chatter was mostly positive. That gave me the confidence to go in with $10 after my winnings. The $5 dollars that I had won was back in the game. Played a few games, won the first one, then lost a few on Ono, which got frustrating. But this is the fun, isn’t it, I had to track back to the lower boots and slowly built my way up.”
Help when you need it. “Once, I had a login hiccup. Thought I’d be stuck for hours, but WinZO’s customer support fixed it in 10 minutes. That kind of reliability matters.”
Referral rewards. “Referred a friend, and both of us got some extra play money. WinZO’s referral system is a nice way to stack up earnings without even playing. This referral bonus couold be a winner in the long run, the $1 bonus is a perfect way to start playing.”
Fred’s Tips for New Players
Start small. “Use the sign-up bonus to test the waters before going big.”
Stick to what you love. “I dominate in Ono because I know the game. Find your strength.”
Play smart, not desperate. “Winning’s fun, but don’t chase losses. Enjoy the game first.”
Check the community. “Reddit and Trustpilot reviews give a good sense of how real people experience the app. Always do your homework.”
What’s Next for Fred?
“WinZO’s got the classics down. Now I’m hoping they add more action-packed games. But for now, I’ll keep stacking wins in Ono and Candy Match. If you’re on the fence, just try it. The App Store and Trustpilot reviews don’t lie, this app’s the real deal. I have lost games here, but that is only because I got a little too ahead of myself.”
