Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company is a party to certain claims, suits, and proceedings which arise in the ordinary course and conduct of its business and has certain unresolved claims pending, the outcomes of which are not determinable at this time. The Company records a liability when it believes that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that a loss is reasonably possible and the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the possible loss or range of loss. In the Company’s opinion, resolution of pending matters, other than as disclosed herein, is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the results of operations, cash flows, or the Company’s financial position, as of March 31, 2024. Given the unpredictable nature of legal proceedings, there is a reasonable possibility that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially affect the results of operations, cash flows, or financial position in a particular period. However, based on the information known by the Company, except as set forth herein, any such amount is either immaterial or it is not possible to provide an estimated range of any such possible loss. The Company records legal fee expenses associated with such matters when the relevant services are provided. On May 15, 2019, a former employee of the Company filed a suit against the Company in the San Francisco Superior Court in California for claims including breach of contract, retaliation and wrongful termination. The case was tried in August and September 2021. The jury found in favor of the former employee and rendered a verdict against the Company for $11.6 million in compensatory damages, and the Company recorded a loss contingency accrual of $7.1 million and corresponding general and administrative expenses in such amount in the third quarter of 2021. In April 2022, the judge in the case determined, in light of the Company’s post-verdict motions, that the instructions given to the jury at trial were defective. Accordingly, the judge ordered a new trial on damages or, alternatively, permitted the plaintiff to accept a reduced verdict in the amount of $4.4 million, which the plaintiff subsequently levied from the Company’s bank account. On May 25, 2022, the Company filed an appeal from the judgment seeking, in part, entry of judgment in the Company’s favor notwithstanding the verdict. The plaintiff accepted the reduced verdict, and filed an appeal from the judgment on June 7, 2022, seeking in part, to reinstate the jury’s original verdict (or an award less than the original verdict but greater than $4.4 million final judgement) and challenge the trial court’s conclusion that stock options are not “wages,” which was the basis for dismissing his wrongful termination and retaliation claims. Skillz filed its response and reply brief on July 7, 2023. On April 8, 2024, the Court of Appeals issued its decision, affirming the judgment of $4.4 million but adding an additional $2.3 million for a total award of $6.7 million. The Court of Appeals also affirmed the dismissal of the wrongful termination and retaliation claims, holding that stock options are not wages. The Court of Appeal’s decision became final, non-appealable and enforceable on May 20, 2024. See Note 16, Subsequent Events. In March 2024, the Company sued Papaya Gaming, Ltd. and Papaya Gaming, Inc. (collectively, “Papaya”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging false advertising under the Lanham Act and unfair business practices related to Papaya's marketing of its mobile games and its deployment of algorithmic competitors ("bots") in its games. In June 2024, the Court denied Papaya's motion to dismiss the Company’s complaint in its entirety. In August 2024, Papaya asserted counterclaims against the Company alleging that the Company also engaged in false advertising and unfair business practices for purportedly allowing bots in games on the Company’s platform, defamation for the Company’s involvement in a non-profit organization that collected and published data related to customer complaints to state attorney generals related to Papaya’s and other companies’ alleged fraudulent bot use, and trademark and copyright infringement of design elements of certain games, among other things. The Company has not yet responded to Papaya's counterclaims, but intends to vigorously defend the Company against all such counterclaims. Indirect Taxes The Company is subject to indirect taxes, including sales and use tax in the United States and value-add tax in certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company has indirect tax liabilities totaling $12.1 million and $11.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, associated with indirect taxes based on currently available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable based on an evaluation of relevant factors. The Company’s application of the revenue code for indirect taxes in certain jurisdictions, including those within the United States, may be challenged by taxing authorities in those jurisdictions. Any associated assessments may result in additional tax liabilities. The Company does not currently anticipate that any such assessments will result in a material increase in the liabilities.
