This company is founded on cheating everyone out of whatever money they can. I used to read reviews for 8-ball on this site from disgruntled people speaking their mind on the ways this game cheats you. Now that I've seen it for myself I wonder how they can possibly exist cheating everyone so badly. The "network is running unusually slow" is a bunch of b. S. and an obvious sign you're about to get cheated. My network never runs slow, and it only happens when I'm shooting, just to return to see that my made shot had never taken place and that my opponent is now shooting at the ball I just made. There are a million bots you can be potentially playing against, some that are supposed to win and some that are supposed to lose depending on what they want out of you. I played a bot once that was supposed to lose to me and I tried as hard as I could to lose the game but it just wouldn't let me. So believe me when they put a bot in there that's supposed to win you are not going to win the game. I'm pretty sure that a lot of the times I've played in tournaments I am the only real player in there along with seven bots guarantee it. Waste of time and money.
