Can be used to reinforce math, but it's more about the games.

My Take
As a teaching tool, this might not be the best option. It has fun games and ways to reinforce basic arithmetic, but should only be used as leisure time activities. It's more centered around the games aspect then the teaching, and that's likely what appeals to the kids more.
How I Use It
This website is more about the games. Some of the games, like Division Derby, can be a fun and powerful way to reinforce and build muscle memory for smaller number division. Some of the games are confusing to understand, and some aren't even games and might not have a real practical use outside of normal teaching tools.

Potential to be Fun, but Overwhelming Overall
Math Playground has potential. It covers quite a few math subjects from fractions to pre-algebra and also includes different skill levels. I also enjoy that it's art style is definitely designed to attract young children's attentions and most kids will find the games engaging. However, the amount of games is simply overwhelming. If the featured games are not what you are looking for and you click on the "more games" option you will find yourself with a wall of a large number of games, each with a different concept than the next. There is simply no time to go through them all and having to scroll through so many makes the sight a little unappealing. As the description on Common Sense Education says, there are also many advertisements that can be seen as distracting and many of the games are unrelated to math or do not help build reliable math skills.
