“Game of kings”

David T.
8/22/20

I'm completely hooked on 8 ball mini clips. That said there a few flaws and serious inequities. You can't draw a ball backwards stuck on the rail unless your a master trick shot artist. 2. You can't cut balls backwards on the the second diamond from that side of the pocket. 3. It's one thing to pay to play it's another to have algarythems make you miss unless you pay for cues powers and what not I played on the pro billiards tour for 3 yrs in the 80's I know the game and as fun as it is it's a business.

“Nothing but cheaters!”

This used to be a really fun pool game. Cheaters have taken over and nothing is done! I have lost well over 100 million to cheaters. Absolutely impossible to win consistently! Complain all you want, "the powers that be", will do nothing! They're Only concern is to make money and ignore the people who play the game honestly. Thanks...for turning a really fun game into a aggravating pos! I will never spend another penny on this game ever again.

Out of the blue, everything I worked so hard for over the YEARS was deleted, and they ignore my efforts to fix the problems! I have never purchased anything from this rip off scum bag company, but have managed to build up so much personal perks that I carry with me as I play the games…9 ball.
Perhaps they see that I have built something special for myself without purchasing anything from them, despite the constant effort on their part to try to get me to purchase coins etc by slapping their coin packages in my face in a very rude way. Warning…the coin packages appear on the screen very quickly as you are playing and this rude and sneaky activity is a complete distraction for a player! The game is addictive and if you don't buy their coins they will eventually shut you down and remove all of the things that you worked so hard for! They remind me of the current democrats in office…cheaters and scam artists that are part of The Swamp! Management needs a cowboy boot right in the $#*!! There are other games out there. This one sucks.

My entire account disappeared and they want me to provide my account number. The account is GONE! I don't have my account numbers but they do and they won't look it up for me. DO NOT FALL FOR PURCHASING COINS!
This company gets a below zero score from me for their awful service.
This company should not be allowed to continue with business.
DO NOT BUY COINS!

If I could give zero stars I would. Miniclip have allowed their 8 Ball Pool game to become riddled with cheats, hackers and illegal mods. They continue to do nothing about it, refuse to compensate honest players for in game losses and ignore the multiple reports players make against these illegal players. They are either unable or unwilling to fix the problem.

The game designers and owners appear not to care in the slightest that there is no rules of fair play in this game and that the parameters are different (either hacking or some other issue that Miniclip could not care less about too) for so many players that it makes the game pointless. Then add the teaming problem, which is never addressed or mentioned in any game rules (because the game rules conveniently for miniclip do not exist). In all this does not teach children and teenagers any decent values and that cheating is the way to win or win at all costs rather than a test of skill between two players or equal teams.
The owners are vile. Anyone that complains get's short shrift or manipulative responses. One day a class action will force them to change or shut down.

There are many bugs in the 8 ball pool app one of then is if you accidentally select the wrong game you can't back out. I lost 1 million coins on 3 occasions and contacted customer support to ask for a refund of only 1 million coins. Here is their response.

Hello Ron,

Thank you for your message and I'm really sorry that happened.

I know that sometimes players press the wrong table or button, starting a match that they don't really want to play, because it's a high bid table, for example.

Unfortunately, there is no way to refund this kind of coin loss. When you initiate a match, the system registers you as searching for an opponent. If you click the "back button" but the data isn't processed quickly enough and an opponent is found, you will be placed within a game.

Nevertheless, I will send your feedback to the team, we are always looking into new ways to improve our system.

Also, keep in mind that the system does not select matches for the player, automatically. We advise caution and suggest you try to scroll between tables by dragging the empty spaces between the table selectors instead of touching and dragging the selectors themselves, in order to avoid unintended matches.

For any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

Elizabeth
Miniclip Player Experience

Tip for consumers:
Do not waste your time or money on this game. If you like to play pool go to a pool hall and play for real. The game is rigged many players us hacks and many people you think you are playing with are bots.

This $#*!ing game is a Goddamn Joke. It doesn't have any intentions on giving you a decent chance to get a good game. FREE, my $#*!ing $#*!. If you don't pay, you won't get anywhere for long. I miss perfectly aimed shots, with Full charge, on a $#*!ing wood cue... Cheating is welcome in this game! No Tech. Support. No reports on cheating or anything else have been resolved! Does anyone work here. $#*!ING $#*!S... COCKSUCKERS!

Game used to be pure and honest, one traditional cue for everybody. Then these swiss cheese heads got greedy and corrupted the game making it a joke with rigged free spins and games. I saved up 200 free spins and 90 % were 250 coins or less with the spin with the most coins being 500. They use algorithms to fix games and cause impossible scratch shots. There should be a class action lawsuit for thise that pay to play these rigged games.

Was a great game years ago. In the last 3 years. We had accounts, stolen, flagged and 85% of the games with botes/cheat/hackers. Now the game glitches again. Thousands of accounts gone. Don't know why or when if we get them back. The support team is an automated system. No help. What do this people do? Steal your money. Just to rip you off by taking back accounts. Do you see me using any hacks? Transfers, etc? No it is because you can't win so many games in the row and with the new report feature even if you play fair someone can be pissed enough to report you.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this game

Is the best pool game out there but if you are not ready to loose your money, do not pay a penny because they will target you to take your tokens to force you to buy more. Amd if you win a lot without buying tokens, they will use a lot of take accounts from VPN scrambled locations to just reap you off and take away all your winnings and is frustrating because no one will respond to you. I stop paying a long time ago and only play for free. They hate me for that but i just got tired of loosing my money.

Tip for consumers:
No, just that it sucks.

No point at all
No point at all - cheating b****rds conning you out of cash.

Ad's on continually spend 40/50/60 for upgrades and it's a waste. Soon it will be nobody left. Bots versus bots…

Don't even aim for a shot, no cue action - just a computer beating you with no chance whatsoever.

Miniclip I believe bought by an Indian company from original Portuguese company. Last week one of the boys who stole the game was even called 'Miniclip' - cheating f***ers.

Don't waste your time on this pile of crap - play WGT Golf for a realistic fair game with no con

But like I said last review that you didn't see you guys win that's it enjoy the money you made off me I'm done this is it I couldn't be more upset and sad about this whole experience so I'll just leave it at that hopefully y'all satisfied I would hate for another person to feel how I feel after playing the is game

I purchased Governor poker 2, and now they no longer have it. So, they recommended other games, but none were interesting to me, so you would think, well nothing Is being of service to me the purchaser that my money would be given back. NOPE, they did not consider it, nor answered my? When I asked if getting my MONEY back is an option.

Typical reward cheaters and those who pay BS. I am naturally good at baseball games. *ALL baseball games. I quickly rose in rank in the game, and if I play an evenly matched team, I will win 95% of the time. Quite the good ratio. The thing is, and such is a microcosm of today's world, frauds and those who pay to have insanely unfair advantages are rewarded. For example... if you keep playing you will get chests to upgrade your players, but they will only upgrade the players you do not have on the field... they will not allow your players to upgrade all the way so you can have an even advantage with top teams. Instead, great players like me will STILL beat these teams, but lose tons of games to absolute trash AI and cheap nonsense. Their goal over at miniclip is to frustrate you so much that you capitulate and pay to win. I can assure them... I will never give them dime one of my money. The game is great. The system rewards avg players who of course brag with emoji reactions as they win from obvious nonsense.

Not only do you have to play against the players but also the game itself. The cue ball will almost always snooker behind another making it impossible to make a shot. You can actually see it roll or slow down till it is in that bad position. Also, after you make your shot you can see the cue ball actually start to curve to a pocket so that you have scratched. Maybe the table is not leveled... Total crap!

I have never bought a single coin, in fact I won 207 million coins & got to 150 ranking beating some of the top players on the way, then, i lost the lot through a combination of bad play & some of the issues mentioned in former reviews, i have now rebuilt the 'empire' from scratch & have 191 million coins & a 161 ranking, sometimes, players enter games then disappear meaning their coins get added to mine & i too have lost coins in the same way having been 'disconnected' so i would argue it works both ways as in my experience. I have never had issues with cues or the cue ball, granted you have to be careful with 'in off' situations, but i would argue that the more you play you understand which situations are not reliable for applying spin or screw back for example, but i agree it is intensely annoying when it does happen, so for me that is part of the challenge! When i did complain about screen freezes & hackers, i did get replies claiming the company were always trying to improve the quality & reliability of the game, so, to conclude, it's simple you do not have to buy coins to gain, it is possible to start from 0 & build upwards with a bit of luck, determination & good play meaning that you should understand how your cue & table works as in the real game don't play stupid shots & think 2 or 3 shots ahead, i've built up from 0 coins twice, so i know it can be done, finally, i would recommend you do not play through internet explorer or google chrome browsers, those are where i experienced the most cheating & hacking, such as screen freezing & line hacking, i always only now play through Firefox & have only had the odd one or two 'disconnects' or hacks, but on the whole no major problems, my view is it is a great game if you implement different strategies, treat every shot with care & be fearless, the players playing for 30 million coins are no better than those playing for 50 thousand, overall message is then don't buy the coins then you don't get stung! Happy potting & have a nice day, thanks mini clip

Been playing this game for 5 years plus. Never spent a dime, but came to realize that if you didn, t spend money You'd never win. People who spend money have more time, accuracy, spin, power, etc. I also scratched more times compared to other players. Most players do what I call "hit the ball as hard as you can and something will go in" and if they've spent some money it does. I loved the game, but after having all my points taken away on multiple occassiins have decided I don, t need the frustration.

When i started this game it wasn't so bad but the more coins you buy the harder it cheats you first cheat #1 you will loose internet connection and your coins #2 at the worst possible time the screen will jump,. Coins gone again this only happens on this site. #3 tournament play pay to get on table screen freezes and never get on a table loose all your coins again #4 it wont let you aim your shot #5 the speed of the cue ball changes always in there favor DO NOT BUY COINS IT WILL CHEAT YOU
