One thing ppl should be aware of there are many disrespectful and rude ppl on this site. So much so that if they take a dislike to u the will follow u table to to table an reportedly Insult u. Now there is a block option for which is little use when said person can come bk in multi guest ids. Or make more... if u dare to complain to playok as they tell u to do so. U pretty much get told its ur problem and they can not do anything. Total lies... as u would have read from ppl complaining about bans... so why do they ban ppl for nothing an leave the utter scum on there site. Well the conclusion is easy. Its a poor run site by ppl that have no clue how to manage it properly. The only good thing is if ur lucky u can meet a few diamonds that u other wise would not have. So to anyone still using playok... good luck x

BS game site
August 2, 2021

All server based rolls... just a scam. Not like playing the real backgammon... it's a joke! I am a seasoned player and when I play against 1800+ players they always win using manipulative dice... it's so obvious! Sad

Backgammon is so fake
January 13, 2023

Totally fake dice rolls on backgammon. One day you cant lose, even if you try, next day you cant lose and had Romanian scum regularly get 10 doubles in a row to help $#*!s win. Typical low IQ Polish and east European cheating scum. Wipe these cockroaches out, Russia

Horrible
January 12, 2024

Management is horrible. Blocks ppl who don't cheat and don't block cheaters. Also can't get in touch with them. Useless site and shameful owners. Horrendous.

Random dealer is aweful
January 24, 2022

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

I play hearts and bridge, with hearts you can report abuse and also block people, which puts an X against thier name so you can avoid them in future.In hearts you get a rating, im lucky enough and good enough to often have a red rating, but not good enough to get the very highest. Sometimes you play against cheats who have 2 different ids (probably using 2 computers), in order to get good results/ratings.

With Bridge, i have been playing bridge off and on for 40 years, i still am not the best player but have been dissapointed with the level of courtesy and suprised by the rudeness of a sizeable percentage of the users, even those with womens names.

Usually bridge players are mature enough to rarely delve into low class comments/behaviour, but that is often not the case in playok bridge.

Pinocle
April 20, 2021

A Friend had referred me to this Site. I don't like the fact that when your Partner decides to leave the game, the other person pays the price for it to. Also, I have seen people with as high as a 32% Abandonment, why can't they get a Penalty for that? Also, those that do have a high % of abandonment, they have other Accts? That isn't fair! I come on to relieve stress, not to increase it!

Good site needs some improvements but all in all this could be a money maker. User friendly, runs on different formats.

Antisocial behavior of many players and at playok they don't respond to my complaints, but when you complain about this you have a problem with playok.
I submit the words used by some players at playok via copies, but playok does nothing and even turns things around. That there are players who display antisocial behavior is so far, but that playok now just goes along with it is unbelievable.

Finally, just this, in response to my complaints, I also received a chat ban of 1 week without reason. Hereby i cancel my account and everyone is warned, dont play by playok.

Tear down site
December 15, 2021

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.

Player abuse.
September 29, 2020

A player was messaging me supposedly knowing where I lived and threatening me. I emailed support and I was told to grow up and stop feeling so entitled. What the f***. They don't take the mental health and safety of their members seriously and proceed to bully them. Absolutely disgraceful. They must be held accountable for a cyber safety and correctly monitori this sort of behaviour

Worthless platform
July 1, 2022

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.

Disappointing Website
February 19, 2023

My ISP has been blocked for the reasons that I sent playok both email of screen shot and chat log regarding a poor behavior member.

1 He bid 13 on spades game.
2 He sent me genital symbol and said "send this to your daughter", then "send this to your sister".
3 He stalked me. He kept coming back by his other name. You cannot block them all.genital symbol.
4 He was right because he laughed at me when I said I reported this to playok.

There have been many of them on this website. You would be stalked, harrassed and bullied by them. Cheating or bidding 13 on spades are your punishment and Playok has done nothing to that. You will be blocked when you reported them. I am disappointed as I thought they would be and should have been morally better to own such a website.for public use. Somehow, this becomes worsen than Yahoo games in the past.

IF you understand the Game of Euchre you know that a "loner " is a very rare phenomena. Not here in LONER LAND! Expect 2-4 loners per game. About half of them lay down loners with the other half stopped on the last card. Very predictable over time. These games are decided not by strategy but by who is blessed with 4-8 free points for lay down loners. Tiring. Even the winning teams complain about it. I have gotten tons of wins with my Loner hands. But who CARES! That is not a win -- it is a gift. So I have had to move on. Hoped maybe it would be modified and get better. In fact it is WORSE. There are more loner hands now than when I started. NO random distribution of cards here. Just pre set up hands ranked as "easy" medium and " hard" and then these hands are doled out to players largely based on their relative rankings at the table

Nothing has changed.
November 24, 2022
Updated review

Random die rolls are still not happening. I'm almost thinking that if you write a critical review here they will change how your profile make your die rolls less favorable. This is all about Backgammon. No updates to the interface in the last year. When you are on the bar and trying to come down your die rolls are not visible as they are benight the 'Roll Again" message. Could be so much better if they cared.

What a waste of time

There is no way the developers have spend any time in the last 20 years updating their site. Their random generator doesn't do the job. There is no way to contact them to see if they have anything in mind to make improvements. Go else where. You'll be disapointed

You win the 10 first games or so and continue playing, then your luck turns completly and the most surrealistic bad luck happens. Either you lose because opponent gets ALL the right rolls, or you think you'll win, but you cannot roll, let's say 6/2. What do you get? 6/2. Doesn't matter, as long as opponent doesn't roll 4/3. What does he get? You know it.

Most rigged piece of sh*** i've ever played, to avoid at all cost.

Bad gamesite

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.
