So I sent a handful of facebook invites to some friends to play me in the $10 challenge. The first person who responded lives about an hour away from me, she played the challenge just fine. Second person lives across the country from me, that worked no problem. But the third person to except my challenge lives in the same city as I do and he gets a message that says something to the extent of 'Sorry you can't play this challenge because you are in the same location.'

I don't get it. This guy is all the way across town from me. I could understand not being able to do the $10 challenges if it's the same IP address or something. But the same city? How am I supposed to get my friends to sign up for the site and challenge me if it won't allow people in the same city to do so?

skillbet support is no longer monitoring or responding to these threads, another sign that this site is doomed.

Hi, I'm with SkillBet (sorry I didn't respond sooner, somehow I missed your post). Your friend shouldn't have got this message unless he/she was from the same IP address. Have you encountered the same problem since then or was this a one time glitch?
