Reviews of Kingdom Games
"great organization with fantastic events"
"I will certainly never recommend or mention this swim let alone give them money. I have never come across someone who cares so little for their participants who pay them in all my time doing events and in fact running my own events. I found out I have a chronic illness very recently. Because of this I cannot train how I would need to to compete in the 10m I had excitedly signed up for in the fall. I contacted Phil White the organizer and explained my situation. His response was he could give me half in credit for the next season. I responded that knowing this swim sells out and it was 5 months prior to the event why could he not refund me once it was booked again. As it stands he is making twice the amount for one spot. And keeping money for a kayak that won’t be rented so that money is just pocketed. I also stated that the nature of chronic illness means next season is unlikely to be possible for me. He did not respond to this email. At 48 hours I responded back stating again that I was disappointed especially since the money would really help with mounting medical bills. But I offered a solution. I asked if could I get a refund if I found someone to take my place. I said I could post in various forums and his page, explain the situation, and see if anyone was interested. So this way he has lost no money whatsoever. His response, verbatim as I have the saved email, was “Sorry you are suffering. But, we don't do refunds. It is stated clearly on our website. Sorry that you have a hard time with that.” Again I’ve run events before, and I have never hesitated to refund over such an issue. Of course, that’s just how I ran my business because I cared about people and not just money. Obviously the same cannot be said for Phil White and the Kingdom Games. I certainly never would have been as rude and unwilling to accept my offer to ensure he still had the money. Certainly think twice about giving them your money."
