Zynga hit it rich

On 12-27 when I turned off my IPad I was myself. Next day when I turned on I was Mr X, had my games listed but I did not know his friends. I have diligently gotten points for him (dummy me) and he has gone from $10, 000, 000. To $131, 000, 000. I have talked many times a week with HIR technology. Then they said go to Facebook which I sent screen print to HIR, 2 days ago they were consulting with someone in games. Now technology all changed. I WANT MYSELF, MY POINTS AND MY 136 status or so standing back, THATS IT ! They were able to find myself, why can't this be resolved ? Screen print below is Mr X

Zynga hit it rich

Nothing is working today on Hit It Rich slots. Whether I click on games or the gear icon to try to contact directly There is absolutely No response - other than the gear icon or game light fades & then brightens when clicked on but thats it. Neither any games gear icon open up. My signal is excellent so I have no idea what is wrong w/site. I did play yesterday though gear icon for settings didn't work yesterday nor today.

Zynga empires and allies

Zynga charges a 10% fee when sending resources to another account. There's unfair matching in quick matches and alliance war matching. What is so upsetting when we advance in levels the game gets harder which in some ways expected, but when we can't get rare loot because of
Being in a higher level is absurd. I had to use gold to make up the difference to craft important war components in the war factory. In addition we are falsely told we can get rare loot and components in operation killswitch and hammerfall which is a lie. I may get one rare loot out of all the targets I hit. This game is unfair, misleading people and cheating. I can't afford this game anymore and won't spend another dime on gold.
All I get in response are excuses and most of the time prepared robot responses. I used to like the gam as it is the best game of this type but I no longer enjoy it.

Zynga app game spades plus

I have been playing The Zynga game for about six weeks. I initially purchased 50, 000 coins for I thought would be for 50 games. But no. As soon as I purchase coins, Zynga without my knowledge or consent increases Both
The minimum buyin for a game
And increases my minimum bet ( often to 10x my last bet). This happens every time I leave the game or change tables, so it requires one to be on ones toes at all times and to check everything all the time. They do it sneakily.

Frankly, I didnt notice what Zynga was doing initially but did notice the following as well. As soon as I purchased chips, I lost over and over again having been paired with such inferior players that lost purposefully

Also, Zynga does not provide any supervisory authority over the game making players subject to horrible bullying and swearing. Players can "throw" games with recourse - which happens continually. Cheating with pre formed two man teams is rampant. Don't complain as the perpetrators will just ramp up and Zynga will do nothing. I deleted it, never will spend another penny on any Zynga game ever again, and will tell everyone I know about this fraudulent Sam of a game

Zynga app is not trustworthy.

They create pop ups ads not stop before you play on Spades plus.

I have been billed twice now without my authorization.

There is no menu to delete credit card or bank information on the app settings.

Billed $97.[protected]--- Now i have to go thru process of disputing the charge.

Do not upload your bank debit card.

I've been playing spades Plus for years, the only problem is when you pay for a subscription. I didn't get what I paid for and I asked for refunds and they put the blame on everybody else except them self. They won't even give you any game money and that's free to them.

They have taken the fun out of spades they cater to people who spend money they say the hands are done by algorithms who you trying to kid retards algorithms don't repeat hands on a regular basis nor do they deal 2 bid hands repetively.once in a blue moon they will let you win only to loose it all after you have obviously had some sort of trauma in your life to cause you to have to cheat shame on you. Really this site should be investigated id shut you ingrained down

Will not give any Zynga game another dime. Spades Plus is a complete Scam ripoff. They set the algorithm so you keep spending, spending, spending trying to change your luck. It isn't luck and it isn't you. The game is full of bots and you constantly loose, loose, loose. Save your money. The company is a cheat!

The three bots that respond to you when you complain are called Heather, Mel and Pearl.

I am so ticked off at this site..

They allow cheats to run rampant. I actually think some cheats are Zynga bots, too…to steal our chips so that we give money to Zynga to buy more.

The first time I was chat banned was when a player asked where I live. If you click on my profile it says “Virgin Islands.”

I responded “Virgin Islands.”

Five day ban for saying where I live. I complained and actually thought the site might see reason, but Mel the bot, didn’t.

Yesterday I was banned for wring the word “crap.” Nowhere on this planet or universe is that word offensive.

But Mel, Pearl and Heather disagree.

I only met Heather after 16 “human, please” requests.

Apparently she is the bot who supervises bots.

I would be happy to start a not-for-profit spades program if anyone can tell me how.

Crap, says Bonnie M Anderson, from the US Virgin Islands

Been playing for several years. Today my coins disappeared and they said I broke a rule? Won't tell me which rule I broke and I know did nothing wrong. Played with random partner and won quite a few games. Polite. Sent gifts to almost all players who sat at the table. All of a sudden my partner was kicked from the table and had no coins left. Mine deminished substantial as well. Dont waste your time playing this game at alllll.

I have played Wizard of OZ, Willy Wonka, and Hit it Rich for many years. I started with Wizard of OZ Slotz.

I was playing Hit it Rich and I love this one game Bonanza Town. I loved it. I had so much fun. In the middle of a Jackpot...the game stopped with a notice "We Just Made Improvements". This happened in Wicked Witch and other games. After I reload, the winnings are gone...and the game is NEVER the same. I am about to never play again. I have played since 2012. This is 2022. I had a whole photo series of screenshots I emailed and the email no longer works. This happens a lot. Fix BonanzaTown back the way it was! : ( I can not find the screenshots. My gameplay was cut off. Notification of improvements and it has been terrible to play ever since. That game is the only motivation I have for Hit it Rich. A few games I like okay, but you messed with my FAVORITE.

Zynga gin rummy plus app

I woke up this morning and checked my bank statement only to find an unauthorized charge of a $105.99 from Gin Rummy Plus app game which is not even listed on the zynga support page. I dropped my phone yesterday. I do not want this and I want to be refunded for it. This is ridiculous. I don't even know how this could have happened just by trying to grab your phone. I've already submitted a complaint with attachments to zinga support. I would just like this to be resolved (refunded) quickly. I am attaching pictures. I play occassionally as a guest. In this pic, I am guest 39M. Thank you!

Zynga tropic escape

Hey Zynga, did you know that Tropic Escape has a recent exploit/ hack where anyone using an Android can receive unlimited free coins and gems? I'm doing the Cruise Ship right now. My club has an average level 31 and we are competing with level 80 Diamonds. Please make the game FAIR for everyone or start losing revenue. You have a reputation for ignoring your customers, you know, the people that play your games.

Zynga csr2

The only reason I play this game is it gives me mindfulness for my mental health and I love cars.
Plus I'm the leader of a top 200 team.
Great feat but this game has many issues.
I started using this game in January & from day one I had gameplay issues. Especially in live races. My gameplay has been spoiled by live race connection, it can take up to 3 hours to do one set of keys you win in live races. You need these keys to purchase parts & spin for cars. Without them there is no point in playing the game.
The game double loads & synchronises. When this happens during you claiming rewards or stripping cars for parts, you never know what you have been rewarded.
It's a free game but I have to buy in to play the game with the crew. Must of spent around £100 on this game. Just so I could help the crew achieve rewards, like silver keys.
I have reported these issues & many more. I was given some legal stuff, an apology and a thanks in return for being patient.
I have been patient since January, been reassured by the game that all my issues are being looked into, be patient and we will get back to you.
On 3 occasions I was given back some losses due to the game issues. Very gracious but for a game that has terrible live gameplay. Apple can't connect to android. I only keep playing because I'm in a crew, it brings me mindfulness and the reassurance that matters were going to to be fixed by the games employees.
I waited & played on. Waiting for the day the issues would be fixed & I would be reimbursed for my losses due to the games glitches.
Now I have played on all through that, then one day a issue happens. I report it, they agree with it. Give me a fraction of my time & money in game rewards.
But now it's bad, the game is a rip off. I had 700 silver keys which I bought & earned with hours of playing. These silver keys win you cars but you keep them for a prestige cup that they give you.
Now I wish I could screenshot the messages about this issue. The prestige cup required you to have a SRT Hellcat, I have one. But the prestige cups states to take part in it you needed the SRT Hellcat LB. This was not the case, the normal hellcat was all you needed.
I had just spent 700 silver keys trying to get the LB Hellcat for no reason but another issue with game. Absolutely nothing do do with me. The paying customer who is patiently waiting for his issues to be fixed, who been waiting since January to be reimbursed with my reward losses due to game issues.
They admitted to the mistake, I naturally reported wasting 700 silver keys and they admitted others wasted their keys too. I wish I could put screenshots up to show.
They will not help anyone who have been affected by this. To get 700 silver keys takes a lot of time & money.
This is the final nail in the coffin, how can you delete all my messages in support & basically say tough. Your not getting any of your money back, rewards or the 700 wasted silver keys you earned & paid for.
I feel like I've just been led on for months with their reassurances that I will be rewarded & the issues would be fixed. Especially the live which works when it wants to.
Total rip off and definitely degrading. The support is terrible and if you lose out due to game issues, you are not getting them back. If you do it's a fraction of what you lost.
If you play this game, DO NOT PUMP ANY MONEY INTO IT. What is the point if support leads you on and you lose out due to game issues.
Cool cars but the game play is terrible just like the customer service. Very quick at taking your money and trying to cover it with legal rubbish.
I have been treated badly!
Why have you deleted all my messages again and now denying that I lost any 700 silver keys. Even though I have screen shots of you saying you did to me and other customers.
What are you trying to hide?
Been told I will not get my 700 silver back or my deleted messages.
It's absolutely terrible. Is there a government body I can complain to?
This game will rip you off, the game has a problem, it's pretty much tough. You won't get what the game took from me.

Zynga farmville 2

On 6 July 2018 I attempted to purchase £18.00 BRITISH POUNDS, worth of Farm Bucks on the Zynga Platform. Twice the sheep came up with ERROR TRY AGAIN LATER. So I switched to Facebook and completed the purchase. On returning to the Zynga platform I found that I had been charged three separate amounts of £18.00. I was immediately able to cancel the Face Book transaction but could not cancel one of the Zynga transactions. There was obviously an IT issue with Zynga and so after numerous emails I am still out of pocket to the tune of £18.00. I was always willing to pay one lot of £18.00 but who in their right mind would buy 3 separate lots of FB for the same amount in succession. I have provided all information to Zynga and get the same pathetic response every time but this time, he couldn't even spell my name correctly.
Hello Ellie,
Thank you for your feedback as we continue to work towards resolving your issue with Paypal. Please contact Paypal for additional assistance on these transactions or contact your bank directly.
Regards,
Mark D.
Zynga Risk Management Team
It may not seem a lot but I did not authorise this payment and want my money refunded.

Zynga hit it rich spins

I would rather you let us retrieve all the spins we collect rather than remove charms.
Its very frustrating when you invite several people to play yet when they send us spins we lose more of them than we collect. I have enjoyed playing hit it rich but really tired of not getting ahead even when I purchase coins. Seriously thinking of removing and moving on to another slot game.

Zynga dawn of titans

I spent my entire day and many resources on this event and you gave me a titan with 3 critical skills on the same unit. I know you have given other customers replacement titans in this situation. AND not only did you give me 3 skills but 3 critical. Even 2 critical skills is a waste. You had posted that this was no longer possible to get 3, well it is. And I'm not complaining that the other titan who also has duplicate skills because it's 2 which is acceptable (shouldn't be but is).

Please just give me a theros that has actually random skills. I feel I wasted my entire day.

I’m very annoyed that the past 2 events to be downloaded have not appeared for me. I don’t no why this has happened as it said new criteria had been added. I play this game regular and also spend a lot of money on it. I am seriously thinking of giving this up after this. I’m in a coop and might as well be on my own as I can’t join them. Yours.

Zynga farmville 2

On the 26th June, 2018, I purchased 2 x $7.99 worth of keys. I never received this purchase. I tried again on the 28th June, 2018; and placed a purchase of 1 x $7.99. Once AGAIN I did not receive the items I purchased. That now amounts to 3 x $7.99 worth of keys I am owed. I have restarted the game multiple times, to no avai. This amounts to stealing and I am not impressed. I request to be either reimbursed for my purchases or to have the purchased keys credited to my FarmVille 2 account.

Thank you

Zynga Gin rummy plus

I have played this game for some time now and watch how badly this game cheats it's players the number generator is flawed it pick who wins I believe that those who buy from zynga get a hold ge advantage and theatre not Mierzwiak generator give the cards to those player, I have also noticed on a very large number of games when the other player goes out the card your are waiting for is thrown away, I believe this is a cheat again given to players who buy from this company so that hey have the advantage and win the pots... this is a pure rip off to players the game is not fair.. case in point I have lost as many as 50games n a row with no wins, I have lost a very large number of games that the last card thrown was the ne I was waiting for.. this can only be if the game cheats.. this company needs to be banned from make no games and should be sued from falsifying the game and cheating the players.. the App Store should take all of zynga's games off there site and force zynga to pay every player for cheating no them

The app GinRummyPlus is the worst cheating and it is rubbish .i have been playing the game for at least 6 years and I start winning and got 260.000.000

And beginning of 2023 I start loosing non stop and now I am left with 35.000.000 and yesterday it stopped letting me log in

I am a very good player in cards and how can I understand for 6 years I was only winning and I lost 125.000.000 in 6 months

I’ve taken screen shots of one of their many cheats. There are seasonal albums where players are awarded stars. The stars are tallied and at a certain point you receive a gift. As the stars are revealed and added to the players total, the count is incorrect. The game unveils cards and the number of stars they represent, but they clearly short the players here. This is particularly true at the beginning of the album. I sent the screen video demonstrating this, but the customer support rep claimed she didn’t understand. So, Customer Support doesn’t know how the game works? They also have the game itself rigged so you’re on the losing end. They (the developers) have it set up so they can rig the pile of cards we pick from. They know what any given player needs, and sometimes your card pops up. More often, though, it doesn’t. A new cheat has revealed itself lately. When you log into the game you have to close a series of windows before the game begins. On the last window you close, when I press the “x” to close the window it suddenly acts as if I selected a game with a high buy-in. Instead of the usual $20,000 game, it directs me to a $300,000 game with two wild cards. There’s no way it’s an accident, because the area of the screen to select the $300,000 game (or ANY game) is at the bottom of the screen. The “x” to close the window is in the upper right. This has occurred five or six times in the past week, and I have to be quick to cancel the “selection”.

This game is the best in terms of how the cards are Kaye’s out an other features, but of the dozens of games I’ve played, it’s the only one that CLEARLY cheats it’s players in an effort to bankrupt them, forcing them to buy if they wish to play on.

Here is a video of their newest cheat. Look at the total stars shown of the top left. Watch the cards being revealed, and count how many stars revealed per card. When you go back to the first screen, the number of stars will have changed to include the newest reveals. But, they dare not properly totaled. They shirt you a few each time. If you play this game you’ll pick up the cheat quickly watching this video. Customer Support, however, doesn’t understand. REALLY?

I edited my comments and attached a screen recording, but I believe they were sent separately. This means that the screen recording was sent without any context.

It begins in the most recent album, where cards are collected, each card has a star value. The stars are totaled and used for prizes.

This screen video shows one set of cards being unveiled, along with each card’s star value.

The beginning total (shown top left) is 50 stars. Five xards(I believe) are shown, each having a different star value. The total number of stars for this group of cards is 7. When the screen changes to reveal the updated total, the number 50 changed to 54, rather than 57. The next few sets of cards were ALL the same thing, with the total number of stars shorted. This is an issues at the beginning of each album’s “season”, but towards the end of the season the numbers appear to be correct.

Unfortunately, I had to shorten my video and could not visually demonstrate the incorrect tally of EVERY SINGLE CARD.

I've also been taking screenshots, I am honestly thinking of contacting an attorney at this point. I have screenshots of them replying on social media that they don't use bots, but I believe they absolutely do. The number one reason: if all of these people I beat in the first game proceed to DOMINATE me (unless I pull a card from the discard pile that I absolutely do not need and disrupt the algorithm, I ALWAYS win when I do that against the fake opponents, and they then immediately "sorry I have to go" every single time (I've played some over 5 times before trying my method and winning the game) why are none of their names ever listed on the "tournament" leader boards?!?!? Seriously, not one person I've ever played against has been on the tournament board, and, if I have enough money to play the joker games, I win every single tournament during the time I play. Something is fishy with this game, and my number one issue is the developers are lying to us about how they run the game.

Also, there is a lot of info on reddit about hackers on the game to earn something called "swagbucks", if I can easily find that why haven't they and done anything about them, if they aren't really using bots?!?!

100% true and correct. I’m pretty good with numbers and probability and the probability of some of the things I see happen while playing gin rummy on the Zynga app would, in mathematical terms, be considered so small that they would be factored in as a zero in an equation.

The app 100% is skewed against free players and will purposefully make sure that, if you’re playing well as a free player, that you lose until you have nothing left in a piss poor attempt to force those players to buy coins should they want to continue playing on the app. Guess what Zynga…because you do these shady things and I recognize that easily, I will absolutely, 100% never give you one red cent of my money. On the other hand, if you were dirty, low-down cheats and I was enjoying myself while playing gin on your app, I would gladly pay to buy coins to continue playing. Your scam has completely worked against you. And trust me when I say that I tell every single person who shows any interest to never use your app. Congratulations, [censored]s. Wonderful business strategy.

So we all agree the game is dishonest and totally rigged! Zinga GRP is designed to make money from you only. All good for us all to take the time to write these reviews; my question is…. What is this platform called the complaints Board going to do about it?

This game is only designed to get you hooked and they make you spend cash to stay in!

I have been playing Blitz Gin rummy by zings and when I win I’ve the beginners amount it suddenly cuts you off saying there are no players in beginners; right when I’m about to win a large Jack pot! The game is rigged to take your money. It puts you into star Blitz and you lose all of your chips in the first game! This has happened time and time again! Do not begin playing this game!

It is a complete scam and should be audited or cancelled from the App Store!

They will get no more of my hard earned cash!

Disgusting, rip off you are Zinga!

I believe this game cheats you. Use to be you could play for a long time on very little money. Now it cost you a fortune to play . I also believe it deals you the cards they want so u keep buying.

How come my image and the images of my friends are blanked out? I've been complaining about this for 3days. I have spent close to a thousand dollars real money in the past week expecting fair gameplay. I would never had purchased chips had I known this was going to happen. I'm beginning to think that Zynga poker is rigged. How and when are you going to resolve this. I feel [censor] bamboozled.

Still no response from zynga poker regarding my complaint about my Facebook profile picture not being displayed --as before last night when I spent 500 plus Real money on chips to play. No problem with my Facebook profile picture on leaderboard as if that [censor] matters to me when none of my friends can see my Facebook profile picture at the poker tables. Please fix this now. Or give me my 500 dollars back that I spent last night. Every thing was fine until then.

Zynga purchasing

I place a in app purchasing for the game spades plus for 50.00 dollars and it was not delivered to my game account . I have contacted customer service and they asked me to send them a screen shot receipt of my purchase, and I did many times. The problem still haves not been fixed. Zynga repeatedly sends me a email asking for a screen shot receipt after I have sent it may times.

Zynga missing chips

2018/03/03
I had 45 billion chips and when I logged back into my account I was down to 7 billion. I claimed my rewards and those balanced did not add as well. I have sent numerous emails and have tried calling support to no success. I would like my chips back please. I have deposited way too much to just have my chips disappear. I await your speedy reply... Many Thanks
