I have been playing at this site for about 3 years. They do allow you to report players for abuse etc.: however in my opinion they do allow players to use cheat programs in single player games. Not good if you just want to have some fun.
I have played quite a few games in pinochle, hearts, and euchre. When I say quite a few I am talking way over 1,000. Today I played about 20 total and of that 20 14 of the opponents were bots. The easy way to tell is to ask the opponents a few questions and watch the answers. Bots do not respond the way a real person does.
I only really use this to play spades, for which the code isn't great, the number of nil bids and high bids isn't realistic, both are way to frequent. People on the site seem to have issues and give abuse for the slightest error from their partner, some do it even when just bad luck with the cards. Some very obvious cheating, people talking to each other in private messages about their hands and when reported the site admin don't care. On plus side, not crazy with adverts, no need to pay to play, simple interface that (apart from the dealing) seems to work.
Would have given a 5 star until they blocked my account and not unblocking it this is what they wrote back to me very unprofessional
Benefits certain players and and is scandalous in dominoes game. The algorithm is rigged, the game doesn't even come close to reality
Terrible programming, abusive players, cheating. If your partner leaves, you get penalized. And, there is a lose cycle - Once I counted 21 games in a row that were one-sided - totally impossible to win. Then, when I just decided to start over, I was banned for 5 days for "mas registration". Horrible
Combine low quality game design and deeply stupid players and you've got Playok. For the brain-dead.
The worst part is the crazy play of many players, but we're working with humans, after all. Highly recommend for game players.
Hilarious 1997 tier UI, the gomoku section is filled to the brim with painfully obvious cheaters (excluding bots but in reference to humans using AI to cheat) and crude foul mouthed Slavs that meet you with such pleasantries as "go $#*! yourself $#*!" and ban you from the table when you do win. The irony is staggering. If anyone outside the pitiable excuse for programmers' circle manages to gain an above average ELO rating, that person's account will mysteriously be deleted (this has happened to myself once and 2 acquaintances, one said account being over 8 years old). And for God's sake, don't be naïve enough to attempt to contact "support". Plenty of people in the reviews seem to have already made that mistake.
Playok only gives you the option to play with partners and there are a number of problems with that, firstly so many people cheat using multiple devices. Secondly for some reason my partners are always bad and even high ranked ones can't play. Third comes the fact that when you are playing, although your partner is stupid and can't ever complete their bids, they blame it on you without any coherence and use really bad slang language, in addition the players from other sides also annoy you in the chat section. And last of all, if your partner is really stupid, well it happens most of the times to me, they will, even if your team is not losing that badly, for some reason desperately bid 13 or nil with the ACE SPADE or they just leave, like are you being SERIOUS?
Total rubbish. Pre- decides which player will win and deals out cards accordingly. Only fun is trying to beat the computer.
Often encounter foul mouthed idiots on site. And cheat programs are rife
Stops games for no reason and unable to complain. Many times I play a long time then they claim something untrue and make me loose the game. Low ratings because of that. Very annoying.
Can't play a fair game do to cheating. Shame the unemployed play all day long and cheating and use 2 devices to cheat
Opponent gets systematically the right roll at the right time, cannot be real.
100 percent hoax, flee this ugly website at all costs.
Most games are truly one sided. Either you get most wild cards or you get none. Most people are quiet but there is still abuse. When people abandon, they should lose double the points as you have to wait one full minute
They block you for mass registration. Maybe some visiting family members want their own id? Maybe, a bully keeps stalking you and you want to change it up. Maybe, partners keep leaving and killing your rating and then NO ONE wants to play with you because of your ratings. They are horrible and a bunch of LIBERALS.
Headlines says it all a lot of cheats and bullies. The random dealer is AWFUL if you are on the losing loop it can be 5 games without a playable hand the game seems to designate winners and losers before the games start.
These sites are suppose to be fun anything but. My last 200 games I have won 30. On top of that it is anything but random. My opponent has been given 90% of the deals to start game. That is awful. Played a guy 6 games today and I drew out what would happen. He was given deal 5 straight. I told him i would get deal in 6th but he would steal crib. At that point I told him he would end up pegging a whole bunch and he did. Was down 95 to 42 when i left and deleted account. After 6500 games I will not be back.
Been playing this game of Euchre on this site for months and it is definitely rigged. The exact same 10 hands keep getting dealt over and over again. Cards are not radomly dealt to create a real live game of Euchre. Makes it very unfair and definitely not a fun nor real situation type game. Gets extremely boring to see the same exact hands over and over again and knowing exactly how each hand is going to turn out. Don't waste your time playing on this site.
Answer: Difference between ratings, a person with a smaller rating that beats a person with a higher rating will get a larger bounty than a player with a higher rating beating a lower ranked player will get a smaller bounty, Also, pattern of playing changes when there are differences in ratings. Odds of pattern play are further tilted towards lower ranked player and handicapping the larger rated player.
