I found some posts that said to use Google Play Services. What about other platforms? Is their some libgdx library that I can use to implement it in core section or do I need to write separate score implementation to each platform?

Unless you know of a third-party service for leader boards that can be used on all devices, you'll have to write platform specific code. The wiki has a tutorial on that.

\$\begingroup\$ Of course you can, but you should weight the costs and benefits of each option. \$\endgroup\$ – Paul Manta Jul 20 '14 at 20:41

\$\begingroup\$ OK, and what are the costs and benefits of each option? It's very strange that libgdx doesn't have leaderboard support... \$\endgroup\$ – 11alex11 Jul 20 '14 at 20:45

\$\begingroup\$ The costs of having your own server for player stats are that it needs money for maintenance and you have to write both server- and client-side code. The costs of writing platform specific code are that you have multiple implementations that may not behave exactly the same. \$\endgroup\$ – Paul Manta Jul 20 '14 at 20:57

\$\begingroup\$ If you don't want to purchase a server, have the knowledges for server-side coding and have an unused PC at home, install Ubuntu on it, configure a MySql database and write your own server. If you can't afford it, search on google, there are a bunch of services for leaderboars (I personally know Nugetta ) \$\endgroup\$ – Ion Farima Jan 9 '15 at 15:28

have you tried using App42 JAVA SDK? Here[http://api.shephertz.com/tutorial/Getting-Started-Java/?index=gs-javasdk&sdk=java] is the documentation for the same and then simply use leaderboard API documentation to implement leaderboards[http://api.shephertz.com/app42-docs/leaderboard-service/?sdk=java] in your libGDX games.
