When you play games you are supposed to win jewels. Been on this site for over 2 years. The last few days I have been playing and noticing that my jewel count is not moving. Reading the reviews from others about losing money I guess this site must be a scam, too bad they are receiving such negative reviews... WILL NOT RENEW MY MEMBERSHIP!

I was on king for nearly 6 yrs and was a gold player have put into this fraud site since 2006 over 4.500 euro as i am in ireland we have the euro, whatever some morons start a free jewel profile on a friday night when kings supposidly 24/7 is not there and they put in some real bad nasty stuff about players. They did not play any games and on the sunday night they deleted themselfs before king start work? On mon. I wrote in 2012 nov, that the whole site has got worse, friends of mine have either been deleted for the usual crap of having multiple accounts, ect, i wrote this on my profile and went to bed about 4am in the morning the following night i went to login and wow my profile had been deleted, i sent a long nasty email to them asking what are they playing at and the answer i got back was i abused king.com on my profile and my 90 euro would go towards a freeroll, this was the so called abuse dept, which they got rid of this year and call it customer support, i have left it in the hands of my lawer here BUT as they are an OFFSHORE based company in MALTA cannot touch them i went to there address in london and some little runt said no one was allowed in, so called the cops and told them and they said as no crime has been committed not a lot they could do, they said even though they have offices in uk-germany-usa-and sweden they are offshore and cannot be touched... so be warned, they did not give a s---- after nearly 7yrs on that fraudulant site, BUT RICARDO ZACCONI thier ceo, has a shock coming soon.

One day about a month ago they decided that satellite internet users cannot play at their site because they cannot verify their location. Well I sent them plenty of proof of location and yesterday I get an email that they are closing on September 10th! Good Riddance to a company that cannot even unblock a person who deserves to be able to play. And for the multiple accounts... it doesn't let you log into your King.com account from FB, you have to set up a second account for playing there... so screw your multiple accounts issues King!

Played on the facebook version and used real money to upgrade. I then played a moved which they said was illegal and closed my account (no rules or anything to say it was illegal or not) just closed my account and kept my money.
Wrote to complain and have had NO response.

Feel like I'm being scammed. I opened up an account for 5$. After being up about 50$, I decided to take out $11. They said it would take 14 days. Ten days later they locked my account and said I have multiple accounts. I think they are pulling a fraud. I added real money and followed their rules. Any Idea how you make a consumer complaint to a company in London?

Does NOT even deserve 1 star. Closed my account for "breach in terms of multiple accounts" when I did not and have had a series of back to back messaging conversation regarding so. They did not give me my winnings and closed my account without even 'closing' the case. When I asked what they mean by "breach in terms of multiple accounts", they responded with We cannot tell you how our security systems works. I respond with, I'm not asking how your system works, I'm asking what you mean by multiple accounts. Waste of my time and their rude so-called explanations because they don't explain. They ask you for money and then don't give you your rightful winnings. How are they still in operation?!

Fun if you want to waste money. It gives a different level of enjoyment to the games to be able to win or lose against other players for money. Went a while on my initial deposit, ran out, deposited a little more, stuff like that. But when u want to take your money and close your account, don't actually expect to receive any of the money. I got the same exact "multiple accounts" block that others on here did. So I just gave up and moved on. Wasn't a whole lot of money I was out anyway, maybe 10 bucks so I didn't push the issue cuz I know how dealing w/these sites can get. Not worth the frustration.

If I can give them 0 star, I would do!

Please go to: http://www.ripoffreport.com/Search/king_com.aspx

To see what www.king.com or www.midasplayer.com did with memberships. We lost a lot of money by playing at their website. Do not deposit money at king.com or midasplayer.com if you don't want to lost your time and money.

King.com is a cheating website. I won $247.75 by playing game over 1 month. They don't want to pay me the winnings, they said I have multiple accounts, so they donated all my winnings to Freeroll Tournaments. But actually I only have one account at King.com, why I have to open multiple accounts? I was transferring the winnings to Paypal and waiting for 16 days. I contact them to ask why I do not receive the money, they said I have multiple accounts, so they have to close my account and donate all my winnings. What a terrible cheating website! I just want to warning everybody about King.com before you register for playing games. They steal my money and my time!

DON'T GIVE THEM ANY MONEY! The games are fun so i put some real money in. I got up to like $100.00. But when you try to cash out they come up with all kinds of excuses to keep your money and I've read countless stories of other people having the same problem.

You would think that you could trust a Pogo site. That is anything but true. I recently joined Pogo UK (king.com) after being a Pogo member for years. I enjoy playing bejweled and decided to play in their cash games. I won almost 300 dollars. I withdrew 150 dollars and it said it would take 14 days to be deposited into my account. On the 14th day they blocked my account! Their reason was "To many failed payments, or multiple accounts" Neither is true! Iv contacted them through customer support many times and still no response!

I usually play online poker but sometimes I need a break from that. I found this site when sifting through the online gaming sites here. Here is the deal, if you live in the US, you probably can't actually get any money you win due to our pathetic laws. Or maybe just open up an offshore bank account if you are doing online poker anyways. Nevertheless, it is more fun playing in these tournaments than just going on a regular site and playing games like mahjong for the fun of it. Definitely adds an additional element to play for money.

This is the best place on the web to play competitive games. Personally, I love the Pyramid solitaire game, but I'm not much good at it. You can play for money or for free, surprisingly addictive!

Beware of online gaming websites! - Hi! My name is Deb and I'm a gold member on the online gaming website King.com. I paid only 10.00 bucks to upgrade my membership to gold member and have been playing on this site for a long time. I went to login yesterday and it gave this error- Cannot login in this region/state. So, I contacted the tech support there (which is in England) and they said it might have something to do with my state of Illinois not being allowed to play anymore or my ISP provider might be in one of the states on their listing of states. I don't play the cash games and Illiois was listed as one of the states on their site that aren't allowed to play cash games. What should I do? I've invested time and money into this place and they're kinda saying "oh well" to me! I'm really pissed about this and would love to turn them in- but how? Or if they could even reimburse my money. What should I do? Thanks for hearing me complain-LOL!
