Governor of Poker 3
reviews and complaints

Very enjoyable and entertaining but they have chosen it’s all about the $$$$$: the ads are just obnoxious.

My response: So if I want to be able to play this ‘free’ game and not have 30 second ads pop up every time I change the screen then all I have to do is buy something from this ‘free’ app?
Also, it’s kind of funny that since I posted my original less than positive review I have won 4 hands out of 50+ played. If I apologize and buy something will you take my username off the naughty list?

So I have continued to play this game because it is entertaining and well designed. My complaint has always been about the ads so rather than pay money to remove ads from this ‘free’ game I have chosen to just live with them. I must not be the only one as now the ads pop up as you are entering a chosen game which eliminates the opportunity to play the first hand or two. USERS BE AWARE THAT THE DEVELOPER WILL USE ALL OPTIONS TO FRUSTRATE YOU INTO PAYING OR QUITTING. And no I am not just a whiny tight wad. I spend a lot of money on other games but the way it is forced on this game just isn’t right.

In blackjack the dealer wins 83% of the time and 6 out of 10 times gets a 20 with a face card showing. People say, well the blackjack is rigged but the poker seems fair. Are you serious? So you think the blackjack cheats but they’re not going to cheat in poker as well? There are many tells in the poker game. Bots are inserted on all the tables to check you to the river where they always get their card. More often than not if you fold bad cards, The flop will lay three of a kind or a straight down, effectively teasing you and encouraging you not to fold. Fall for that and you’re 7–2 and ends up losing, as it should. On the higher stakes poker tables it is clear when two players are talking to each other and basically robbing you of your chips.
The bottom line is, if you don’t like playing real poker and don’t mind a rigged game, the graphics are nice. This game is built beautifully and runs really well. If it was 100% legit, and don’t believe the RNG certification that they just make up, it would be one of the best apps ever made. I am not kidding. Unfortunately all it will do is make you angry. Who knew the Dutch were so dishonest? Find another way to play poker.

…. this is easily my fave poker game. I love all the variations available to play. Fun! Then why only 4 STARS? 1. In blackjack when you are dealt 2 aces, you can split them. You then get one card ONLY on each of the aces. You’re not allowed to hit again on either hand. But GOP3 allows you to continue hitting on each hand. Fix it, please. 2. The CHECK/FOLD button in poker does not reset properly every time it’s used. There are times when you press it and it doesn’t reset thus automatically carrying over to the next card or hand as the case may be. Fix it, please. 3. Please,please,please stop popping up the available chip packages when moving from game to game. It is annoying and then some. If this wasn’t my fave game, I’d delete it just because of this. Stop it, please. 4. Lastly, the only thing missing is a true tournament where however many who wish to sign up are allowed to (can have a max). All the entrants are spread out 9 to a table across how ever many tables it takes, balancing the tables whenever it’s needed. Add it, please

EDIT: I forgot to mention another blackjack error. You are not offered insurance when the dealer’s up card is am Ace. That’s bad. Fix it, please.

I spent $200 to prove a point, the first couple times you buy anything they throw you many win streaks to get you hooked. After a very short while they stop you from winning anything at all until your chips are gone. By the 3rd or 4th time you purchase something you’ll notice the win streaks come to a halt and the purchased stuff is gone quick. I decided to give it one last whirl 4/09 and purchased $24.99 ticket package, it’s the next morning and it’s gone. Blackjack is the worst but bad beats take your money in the tournaments, KK? they”ll be an Ace everytime. I am removing this joke this minute, it is NOT real poker. Again April/May 2022, same everything except i spend a lot less money, 70 maybe, let me feel excited then get to 500 mil+ they’ll never let you win again. Play smart some purple player will go all in and force you to go in because you have a good pair or 3 of a kind, then get beat on the river. Recently the reception will disappear then boot me back in to see I’ve lost 1/3-2/3 of my balance because i was a robot for a minute so they got free hands then I lose immediately next hand. I’ve lost 30+ spin and win 10 mil buy ins consecutively or more. If this garbage stopped, I’d play in the summer and fall.

Zero stars. As a professional and asked to test. One who has played over 5000 live tournaments. This software like other free sites allows certain users to load the hands in their favor (and perhaps your favor). Presumably players who pay money. But perhaps ones who get super-charged from missions. Statistical impossible runouts. Played a total of 30-100 sit-and-gos (5 handed tournaments basically) across 2 or 3 weeks spread across 10k, 50k, and 100k buying. Suspected askew boards sometimes (in my favor) but within possible variance (played using small raises and nitty).

Then in last game: had player who raised all-in every time facing even any minimum raise or greater preflop OR facing any bet post flop. Of course easy folds for me. But any time trapped with less chips advantaged player, then this player would runout with runner runner 4 of a kind or trips. eg A-A vs 10-2 all in after A-2-blank flop turn 2 river 2 for 4 of kind. There were over 4 instances in a single short sit and go. This is possible 990 to 1 three hands in less than 15 hands (2/45 times 1/44 equals 2/1980).

In conclusion:
THE APPS CLAIM OF HAVING COMPLETELY RANDOM CARDS IS PATENTLY FALSE.
If you are learning to wait and pass the all-in players to get through to 1st or second then enjoy and have fun. BUT DO NOT USE SUCCESS HERE TO RISK MONEY ELSEWHERE

This may be one of the more enjoyable games while you sit at the table. Many opportunities to add to your character.
It would be perfect if the algorithms were better. I could not tell you how many time I would get the same numbered cards in a row, different suits, but same numbers. Sometimes three in a row. And I have NEVER had this be a pair or two good cards, AK, or any combination of face cards for that matter. Usually a 2-7, 3-9, etc. Never connected either. Then there is the issue of people going all in often especially on the first hand. And they will continue to do it the whole game. The are usually people that have a lot more coins than you and should be playing at higher stakes tables. You should not be able to play a lower stakes table at a certain point. That would put a stop to people trying to play the slots in Holdem. Then there is the issue of logging into a table. The highest buy in is already chosen and is the default. So if you are not careful and just hit play when you choose a table, you may find you have just spent 5 mil on a buyin when you really wanted to just play 100K buyin. Could hurt if you just tallied a little over 5 million. A small peeve of mine is the freebies. They have a gold and bonus purple wheel that you spin. You get to the purple after about 5 gold ones. But most of the time you will win more on a spin on the gold wheel. In addition you have to buy chips to avoid very annoying adds. There are other algorithm problems but I am to long as it is. So in summary I would give this app 5 if the above were fixed. Have fun, but beware of the flaws.

You know, I spent over than 15 years in Moscow's casinos and I know %100 of rules and possiblities in different games of casinos! I don't write anything about the poker! Ok, this game is ok in poker! But about Black Jack...! I wanna ask you dear developer! Are all players IDIOT? I know the answer! In your idea YES! But let me say you're wrong...! I'm not. Dealer's face cards %99 are A or 10 and on the other times which the face card is for example 6, the next card is 5 and then plus 10 ane eventually BOOOOM! 21! You LOSE...! I didn't spend real money to buy chips in this game, so I didn't lose a lot, but the Black Jack part of this game is COMPLETELY planned and I can say almost 25 or 30 percent give chance to player! I earned more than $100K in real casinos just fr Black Jack! I know all of possibilities of this game! How much is possible after 6, EXACTLY you get 5? And then 10? Less than %5! But in this game is repeatable!... Ok. You know what I say, maybe you say NOOO! You're wrong and something like this, but you know you're a liar and thief! :)) I have more than 20 poker apps on my phone and I bought more than $1000 chips for some of them... But this game is really thief, and I don't like help bigger thieves by playing this game :D Aha, I forgot about spins, you always get $1000 :D :D and in Jackpot spins $4500 and sometimes MAYBE you get more than $10K! You know, you use all your abilities to be an amazing and professional thief... thanks for your attention dear developer! Improve yourself my friend...! You can make money from this game without any stealing players chips! Good luck... And thanks from App store. From Russia with love.

I would consider that I gave this game a fair shake. Ive played for about 3months. Spent about 1-2hrs on a daily basis. I bought less than a hand full of piggy banks. Kept me busy while I’m stuck at home because of COVID-19.
WARNING YOU NOW...This game is a total PAY TO PLAY. I should have listened to the other reviews.

If ya got money to burn...then this game is a good way to sucker you out of it. At first, you’ll win a little but then you’ll have holes that you just can't seem to dig out of.

The RNG is a joke both in poker but especially in blackjack. The developer claims to love a fair game but you won’t see it if you play a long enough session.
While playing Hold’em...Hands that should have paid off in real life gets beat by junk hands almost every time or the same players getting SUPER HANDS multiple times in a row.
Blackjack table SO rigged...clearly the RNG is not used in that part of the game (dealer gets to draw 6 cards and doesn’t bust and I draw one and bust every time...OR time after time the dealer will draw the miracle card(s) and wins the hand. The ratio of dealer blackjacks out numbers the times you get a blackjack by 15 to 1.
Slot machine has only paid out big one time after hundreds of spins. The most you’ll win is 15k.
The daily spin barely gives enough so you can play the baby table. If you get very luck you can progress to the bigger kids table. But unless you PAY...you’re not gonna go near the grown ups table.

In all fairness...playing with the players was hit or miss...but I would constantly lose all my chips playing blackjack. Tomorrow is the make it or dump it day. Curious to see what the anniversary is gonna give...

The developer comments can be disregarded. They aren’t addressing the things mentioned they are giving you a pinky promise that theyve fone all they can gor “fairness”. Anyone with any time at a real poker table would see the hands coming up are proframmed.

So yeah, they use the most updated logic alright. It is logic programmed to make you spend big on a great hand, all while domeone else “happens” to magically have a better one.

But that’s not all.

They have a wheel you dpin to see where it lands for the payout on the table. Example: 500K touney “could” payout anywhere from $1MM (double the buy-in) up to $500MM! WOW!

Except it never hits. It isn’t a chance spin. It’s s programmed response.

I played 10 games at $1MM buy-in, prizes from $2MM - $1B.
Spin results were:
$2MM
$4MM
$2MM
$2MM
$8MM
$4MM
$2MM
$4MM
$2MM
$2MM
Remember, there’s way higher possibilities, but never hit. Highest was $12MM, hit once in over $20 games. And just because it hit doesn’t mean you get it, now you have to face the pre-programmed hands.
Example:
I had 8-4 suited. Decided to play
Flop comes K-4-8
I bet to see who is in. (Only 3 total at the table), they call. Great.
Turn is Q. So far so good.
I check to slow-play, another bets pot, getting good. I call.
River is 4. I’m clearly on top. All ins are bet.

He has pocket 8’s. At a table of 3? This wasn’t a one-time thing. On average there is a bad beat about every 4 hands. The moment you hit on any of the cards, you assume someone has what can beat you. You are realistically correct between 1/3 and nearly 1/2 of the time.

Do. Not. Do. It.

Invest in ANY OTHER APP OR PROGRAM, this one is designed for you to spend, not play a game of skill+chance.

It really is the best poker app out there, and I've tried them all!

They give you a really fair amount of coins every 4 hours so you can actually play for a bit!

I have yet to ever need to buy any coins at all, and the turnies are great fun and pay out fat for a number of players! Not just the first three or ten people.

People are friendly, you can chat but only a few selected phrases. It's good in the way that it keeps people from being trolls and giving away their hand but also sometimes you do want to say something random and you're not able to, and you can't address one person.

That being said, it is a bit buggy.

Even though it's a goal to add Facebook friends I am unable to do so!

The invite to table option is flawed, doesn't work at all, if you click it in your notifications it will tell you the table is full, always.

Notifications that you've received a gift or and invite to a table is bannered from the side over and over when you first sign on and if you don't want for them all to be done you'll still see that you have notifications even if you've collected them all.

Also, if you're kicked out of a turnie because you lose connection sometimes you will lose your coins/your position in the turnie. Just wait it out, restart the app. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Bottom line : DOWNLOAD THIS GAME! Even with the bugs, if you're a poker player you'll love it. And they actually DO care abot making the app better and better. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this game. :)

Hope this helps anyone interested in downloading.

And youdagames if you ever end up reading this, please fix the bugs, especially the friends and adding people to your table!

I love this game and play all the time. I am on a team and have quite a bit of fake money. Starting today, every time I try and open the application it starts up the Youda Games splash page and then just quits. I have tried everything I can think of without any luck. I don’t want to uninstall it in fear I will lose everything I have. I don’t have a Facebook account so it’s not tied to that. I am running the latest iOS version...just so everyone’s aware. I really want to play in the new soccer sit n go...

6/15 Update
I lost EVERYTHING! The application would still not open after today’s update so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it...now all of my money is gone...all of my inventory is gone...my ranking is gone! What pisses me off the most is that I was doing the World Cup challenge ever day so that I could get an ultra spin at the end and now I won’t get that either! I love this game and have even spent real money on it so this is just terrible! And when I try and access the support page to contact the company all it has is 404 errors! If there is any way to get all of my stuff back please help! I am also on a team that always gets all of the chests...and now I am letting them down.

6/22 Update
I sent their support team an email asking for assistance and waited a week. Never received anything back from them. I never spend money on apps, but I did on this one. I guess this just goes to show me that this company doesn’t give a crap about their customers. I know I am nothing in the big picture of things, but it still pisses me off to get treated like this. Hope this will help some people that read it before they spend money on this or any other app these crooks produce.

Not in my iTunes or App Store rating and review history. Poof - the time spent writing a thorough review wasted. In light of this, I’ll try and make this a little shorter and sweeter.

First, I’d like to say I have my doubts about the RNG methods being the best. I’ve never complained about the RNG methods of legit, real money poker platforms and I’ve had plenty of bad beats and unlucky situations. I’m complaining about this one.

I’m also not really a fan of freemium games and was sad to see this franchise is now part of this new game type. It’s common knowledge some players will spend exorbitant amounts of money to increase odds of success in a game. More than would be spent on a traditional game that costs say $60 USD.

That aside, it’s the greed of also using players data to make money and manipulate actions that really bothers me. In my experience as a data privacy attorney, I’ve seen proof that many of these companies and developers (practically all the ones I’ve seen) aren’t as direct or clear as they could be about exactly how users’ data is processed and the specifics about purposes, automated decisions, or (as is legally required under the GDPR) descriptions of the methodology used by algorithms doing the profiling and automated decision making.

I know for a fact many of these apps collect and use this data (particularly purchase history and habits - this app’s privacy notice explicitly notes this type of data is collected) to increase player spending. It may be that if you purchase often and spend a lot of money, you’ll see ads that offer a different price for in-game purchases (usually a higher price). Or in a more acceptable scenario, “hot deals” and limited time offers are less frequent.

I would wager this practice is being done at least partially in this app.

DEVELOPER, IF YOU RESPOND TO THIS:
1. Do not tell me the RNG methods are the best. Show me by answering these questions, please.
- Are the RNG methods certified by an independent body, such as iTechlabs, who certified at least a few big name, legit real-money poker platforms?
- If certified, who does the certification?
- If not certified, what are the specific industry methods or standards referenced in other responses here that are used to make the objective conclusion and factual assertion that your RNG methods are the best?

2. Please confirm my suspicions about the handling of data are not correct by answering these questions directly.
- How exactly are profiling and automated decision making performed? Please reference the methodology or processes of any machine learning or algorithms used.
- Are profiling or automated decision making used to present more or less frequent deals to specific players or categories of players?
- Are offers to players who spend more or more frequently different than offers to players who spend less or less frequently?
- Are prices presented in offers ever catered to specific players or categories of players based on purchase history or spending habits?
- Are players who spend more or more frequently EVER presented with different prices than players who don’t?
- If yes to the preceding question, are players who spend more or more frequently EVER presented with higher prices based on profiling or automated decision making? Lower prices?

They have you winning silver, bronze, gold, diamond, and ruby tickets. I’ve got tickets to spin over 100+ times. I’ve never won more than the minimum amount regardless of the prize wheel. You could win 10 million, 15 million, 20 million, 50 to 100 million, ultra spin tokens, major prizes... and all you ever win is like $15k or ohhhh $25k you big spender. Heck, I won a smaller prize amount on the silver ticket than I did in bronze. How’s that even possible?

That’s tickets. Then there are prize chests. In order to even earn these ripoff chests of diamond and ruby... you need to gamble millions. But get rewarded with $25k per prize spin. What a joke.

The gameplay is solid and the cards seem to be fairly dealt. The cards are fair. Ignore the people that say it’s rigged. The cards aren’t rigged. The prizes are.

The prizes will make you quit for good. Spend $25 real dollars to get $28 million fake.. And win $25k prizes in fake dollars and pointless gifts to giveaway at the table... rarely do you get hats or nice payouts either. By the way, the chips I bought came from an ultra spin. It has up to $150 million. But I hit only $28 mil. Even the reels you spend real money on always hit the lowest amount of chips. But don’t worry.. they normally charge a $100 for these ripoff spins. But it was on sale for $25. And you could buy chips directly.. but the same $28 million is now $100.

Once you play for real to earn good prizes chests... you need to gamble millions to earn enough points. But don’t worry... that daily $1500 to $3000 should power you through. Any betting you do at that low level of buy/in earns one team point if you win. Prize chests are 25,000 points to hit Ruby. And winning $25k in prize wheel spins awarded from tickets per daily activity won’t even cover your buy-in for most sit and go’s, except the bottom rung... which earns you only a few team points for a 5 to 20 min game. Sounds like a good deal huh? Average buy-in to earn decent points is $300k to $2 million. So that $25k comes in handy.. even though that’s not enough to afford 1 game!

They are scam artists with a great game and terrible reward system. If spending $50 to $100 every week is your thing to play games that rarely ever reward you with prizes that are higher than 15 to 25k for poker tables with buy-in of 2 million to 50 million buy-ins... then get Governor of Poker. (And you have to play those tables if you want to earn enough points to win chests or even participate in any holiday event. The Halloween event buy-in are $10 million per game. You can buy their best deal of $28 million for $100. That’s not even enough for 3 games. $100 for two games that could end in 20 mins or less.

I hit a Ruby chest... won 11 silver Halloween spins, 1 ruby ticket spin, 4 diamond ticket spins, and 5 gold tickets. That was tons of hours of work and I spent $75 on chips just to afford the number of chips I needed to win enough points to earn the chests. My total haul — about 6 million in chips. That would cover maybe 3 buy-ins to a sit and go that isn’t even the top point earner. And assuming you win all three games against four other people each game... over an hour of time... you get maybe 600 team points. That’s 2.4% of the amount needed to get the ruby chest. You need 25,000 team points to unlock it. So $6 million to play 3 games and the most you get is 2.4%. That’s assuming you win all three. If you lose... it’s like 16 to 60 team points. Why spend real money to never get anything worth it? The other 6 chests you win in the process before ruby are filled with rewards under $100k, and tons of crappy table gifts. Yes... spending $75, tons of hours of play, and I get cups of coffee or sunglasses to give away at the table to players who couldn’t care less. This is what I worked so hard for?!?!? Diamond will give you crappy hats too.. rarely the good ones. Or spins to lower tier prize wheels that payout small rewards. What a joke! All that work for 5 free clip art milkshake images to give away at the poker table...

This is set against you! Don’t waste your money, prizes are the real scam.

Also, read the developer response to legit issues. They copy and paste their responses. That’s how much you matter to them...

Per the developers response... your odds are terrible. That’s why the comment section is full of people saying the same thing. Nice try. I’ve already deleted your app for good. Bye bye!

4 days ago I succeeded in completed all requirements for the Xmas blitz 5 star chest and clicked on the claim chest and nothing happen.. I contacted support and was told that there was a problem and they were working on it and I would receive my rewards when the Xmas blitz event was over .. that was 2 days ago and I didn’t hear or receive anything .. I have tried for 2 days trying to get someone there to talk to me and help me and sent pics and info and haven’t heard a word from that .. no one is there or helping me solve this . I pay a lot of money for packages and this time when they mess up I don’t get any help or my rewards .. I want answers please and I want my 5 chest reward

Every time I play BJ, Poker or any other game on GOP 3 for the last 5 months all I ever play with are your ROBOTS and the go all in all of the time and no whether I have matching hands with them they always win. Plus, if they go all in on the draw, I am not and cannot afford to do that. They are cheating and stealing chips. I lost 2 m chips 8-27-03

So to those who have played BJ in a casino, do not expect anything good here. No option for insurance on the dealers Ace and you do not get to find out if dealer has a Blackjack until you draw out or stand. If you managed to stand on 21 you lose when dealer finally lets you know it has Blackjack. Advice do not double down on a dealers Ace, 10, or Face card, you’ll lose more money in the end. Good Job to the creators of this game!

Revised: Never said you cheat! Don’t like the fact that I play a hand against a Ten/Face card or an Ace and play decent against only to find dealer has a Blackjack. What is the point of playing a hand if dealer has Blackjack? Automatic loss, pointless to play the hand if you’ve lost.

Game is not real poker. It plays like real poker, but like Zynga, the deal reads into hands and creates winners. Wayyyyy too many straights, flushes, and full boats. Also, bad bests are rampant. If there is a way for them to steal your almost certain odds on win, they will. Game deals differently also depending on scenarios. No raises on the deal, and you will oft see a pair drop on the flop. Wayyy too much. Raise on the deal, you rarely see that pair. Just another example. That the game reads players hands is the worst crime being committed though. Sad, no one can make an honest poker game. They always have to spike the punch to make it seem more exciting and quicker. Play at your own risk, but don’t expect reality from fantasy.

The hats and unlocks are plentiful and fun, but from a poker perspective it’s awful. They don’t even know how to handle “dead button” logic in tournaments/SnGs. This really destroys the late game when people skip their big blind, giving them an advantage.

I’ve reported the issue since v4.1, there’s been 18 updates since, it’s still not fixed, they act like they don’t even understand basic poker rules/logic, and they refuse to give refunds for the games where people missing big blinds change the outcome of the game.

*** removing my complaint about unrealistic odds, because that’s all the read from this entire review, completely ignoring the issue of no dead button (as they have since v4.1) ***

I’ll check the latest update and see if that bug is fixed... but my hopes are not high.

Like many other people according to the reviews. A lot of connection problems. Put some $ into infrastructure. Yea answer to everything is WE USE THE BEST RNG yea, yea, yea. Never admit guilt. 2/28 game is stuck on activity, all challenges met 5/16 was awarded two SUPER SPINS but never received them thank you very much. 8/24 how do I report a player “lezwin” for asking players if they are a “JEW”? 12/25. You can continue to give me CRAPPY hands but still will not pay to play. Merry CHRISTMAS. 1/7/22. Just curious how much money $ do I have to pay ( with your BEST RNG B. S.) to get a hand that I can win with 1/21/22 if u don’t pay to play and get up there ranking that is when you use your old “ experiencing connection problem” and you start losing. Cute. Best RNG B.S. RNG = ROTTEN & NO GOOD

I’ve been playing this game few a couple weeks and this is the shortest time I’ve played on a poker game. The game is actually decent, but the RNG could be improved 3/4 of the time I’m receiving low hand cards while everyone else is receiving good hands. The players are actually the killer of this game. I’ll explain why, I can play a game with players who have less then 2 million and will have fun and play the game with no cares and then you have the players that have 3+ million that will only fold 90% of the time and when they don’t fold they are givin pocket pairs or high [censored], matching suit cards. The little slot machine it’s absolute crap I spent a million on it and all it done was take the money and barely pay out 40-60 thousand here and there. Overall this app kinda ended my interest on poker apps.

They say we believe in fair play. They the say the game is based on algorithms that are top notch. Don’t believe it. The blackjack portion of this game is a joke. I have better luck at a real casino than I do playing on here. On the blackjack portion the house wins 90% of the time. Between the constant 20s and the 3-4 card 21s the dealer smokes the player most of the time.
Let’s talk about the rewards, the rewards are a joke…you would think the higher bet the higher rewards…what a joke. Whenever the wheel spins I guarantee 95% of the time it’s going to land on the lowest reward possible. That with all the special spin tokens you get as well. It’s pretty sad that with the tickets the spins end up on the lower tier prize ALWAYS.
Stay away from this game unless you want to spend real money which I won’t do!

Bad algorithm. Watch Phil Hellmuth’s bad beats on YouTube, and it won’t stack up to how often you’ll get screwed in this game by a 7 2 off suit. Pocket aces and an ace in the flop? Some guy will get Quad 2s on the river. Players go all in with 5 2 off suit pre flop and hit a full house. Game should be called all in poker. Pre flop/post flop doesn’t matter. These “people” go all in at any moment. The rng is just enough to make you feel like you may win the hand, but you get screwed every hand to a very bad beat. The whole table went all in and I hit a full house. The pot got chopped and gave chips to people that paired a 5 and a 3. So we split a huge pot 3 ways when I had the superior 7 card draw. Wish the game could be better. I could play all day. Just no strategy involved. “Go all in every hand and you’ll win no matter what.”

Update: their response to this has nothing to do with my complaint. I’m not talking about number generation. I’m talking about promoting a play style that defeats the entire purpose of the game.

Excellent mechanics, potential to be the best poker game in this store; BUT it’s severely overran by spammers who bet all in every single hand pre-flop so they can collect all the antes when everyone folds. It’s literally every single game aside from blackjack. It’s in tournaments too. No where is clear from it. This is something they apparently encourage because it’s even a mission on at least one location. It makes the game not fun and frustrating when you actually want to enjoy the game and people just want to end it 2 seconds in. I’ve tried contacting CS I was told they received a lot of complaints about this but refuse to do anything about it.

From a poker table standard, the game has few choices and the available tables are all terrible. Buy in from 150k-1million chips on the same table with 20k Big blind? Smallest stack has 8 big blinds in their stack, that doesn’t even make sense. It’s Hyper turbo but every single game. I only enjoyed the sitngo because it’s impossible to find a good cash game.

Also it’s literally impossible to play the tables because the game rewards players for farming xp and achievements and therefore influencing players to just go all in (EVERY HAND) and take your chances with terrible cards to win big pots with big xp.

I put a good 30 hours in this game of genuine effort and real poker strategy and it just feels like a waste of time because the cash games are so limited and promote short stack all in gameplay.

If it’s illegal to play poker for money online, why am I stuck with sad free to play options that no one takes serious?
