Following National Advertising Division Challenge, Perfect Play Voluntarily Discontinues Earnings Claim for Solitaire Smash Mobile App Game

New York, NY – June 12, 2024 – Following a challenge brought by BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division as part of its routine monitoring program, Perfect Play Ltd. voluntarily discontinued the claim that consumers can win significant amounts of money by playing its Solitaire Smash mobile app game.  

The National Advertising Division’s (NAD) monitoring program focuses on, among other things, advertising to vulnerable consumers. At issue is the claim “During the day I work at the bookstore, but at night I play Solitaire Smash tournaments. [I earn] $140,000 a year.” NAD’s inquiry focused on claims that imply that individuals who play Solitaire Smash can typically earn a significant amount of money akin to a supplemental salary.  

In response to the challenge, Perfect Play stated that all challenged claims were permanently discontinued and that it has appointed a compliance officer responsible for monitoring advertising going forward. Therefore, NAD did not review the claims on their merits and will treat the claims, for compliance purposes, as though NAD recommended they be discontinued.

In its advertiser statement, Perfect Play stated that it “appreciates NAD bringing this matter to its attention and is pleased to have resolved NAD’s concerns.”
