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
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.
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
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.
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
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!
Been on this site for quite a few years, they have lots of games to chose from. My only complaint is in Spades when someone quits, i wish only that person looses points and not their partner.
They have lots of games, been on here for a few years, My only complaint is in dominos when a round is over, you cannot see the last play made, which is very important to see,
The worst part is the crazy play of many players, but we're working with humans, after all. Highly recommend for game players.
Be careful! This platform is operated by fraudsters who will steall your money and then block you everywhere... I lost 230 euros!
I have played pinochle for nigh onto 50 years and not once in that amount of time have I ever seen a game where one team got 90% of the aces until the one I just played. Neither my partner or I had aces around once during the game. And, on top of that we only had 2 hands with 20 or greater meld. No one can tell me that the site does not determine which team will win. I actually think the two opponents were bots because they never sent on message of any kind during the play even though both my partner and I asked simple get acquainted type messages.
I got banned from using any of the items on PlayOk, like laughing, crying, getting mad, etc. I said something to one if the players and without any warning at all they stopped me using and if these items. I would have thought they would issue a warning to me if I continued, I would lose these privileges. But no, they took them away from me. Since they hold all of the cards, what can I do. I will be 80 in a few months and this was one of my enjoyments. I asked them why not a warning and was told that's the way it is. Well maybe karma will rear its ugly neck on them. We are not living in communist Russia! Probably a bunch of young people who think they will
Never get old. They wouldn't even listen to any reasoning. I think one of my grandkids used my account and caused the problem, but they wouldn't hear of that even.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
Even after write to this site the responding is very lousy. They ignore totally. Played many other online games (backgammon) but on this site it realy sucks. They better close it and concentrate to users who give advice.
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.
