The title says it all,
I suggest creating as many accounts as possible to minimize the bullying that goes on.
I urge all people to create losts of accounts and then an enormous password (copy and paste the longest websites in the world.) Maybe Marek Furtado will take notice and refrom what was once a passable site. It was never good, however!
A toxic wasteland where site does nothing to protect against cyber bullying. Sent too many requests for help and site does nothing.
Totally rigged backgammon game. Don't waste your time with these Blockheads. Complete home board dice run ups. Wish I stopped paying sooner. Are there any real backgammon sites?
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
Every time I'm playing someone the game always kicks me out and I end up losing my hard earn points. Yorktowns1
The site is fine but a little confusing but the big problem is people who leave the game because they know both will take the lost. The company is not easy to contact the contact information is false. It appears that management does not care about the players. Cheaters playground.
I love to play Spades; when I came upon this site that was free and the chance to play with LIVE people I was excited and then reality set in; the level of cheating, the sexual names and racist names of players is unacceptable and when I reported my concerns to PLAYOK I got the rudest response, it was shocking which lets me know they feel untouchable which is unfortunate when they can just address obvious flaws on their site; it is almost criminal..
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
I am done with this disgraceful site and their disgusting administration. The site has so many flaws, it's unreal, with rigged tables, rigged cards, rigged higher ranks getting better cards. Just a basic look, no class. That's just the tip of the ice berg. If you ever write this company giving them a suggestion, they get so snappy, you won't believe that a company can be so un-professional. But... oh, yes... They sure can, and are. Also, if you dare to write them about something they done, you will get a reply written with profanity in it. Here I will give you the details of my concerns in my email and then show you the replies I got. I had friends who had their ids blocked for mass registration? What kind of company wants you to register once and if you use more than 2 or 3 they block you, and they don't even tell you, and in the meantime every time u sign in on a different browser, you get a fresh guest every time that will take up more stats than the few ids u use if you use the guest id on a daily basis. It makes no sense.
The other complaint is if you have an id that you use for friends and that friend happens to be a poor player and you happen to be a pro and rack up a load of wins and it brings your rank to orange or red, you get blocked for cheating,(false accusations) when you are not even playing the ridiculous ranking system they have in the first place. No rewards. I see people there with over 40,000 games played and juts go from green to yellow. This site is a major joke. Stay away. If you rank up, they will delete you. Here is the response I got:
"Are you a $#*!ing idiot?
99% of cheaters mass-register accounts and you wonder why we block for mass-registrations?
Try making a few accounts on instagram, whatsapp or facebook and see what happens
K"
Yes, sickening and pathetic. Staff should be all fired and this site should be shut down.
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.
Can not play an honest game to end some other players keep going out and returning all the time and I suspect they hack into my spot and I can not control card. They end up freezing game and winning
Pinochle:
Too "HARSH" on"PARTNER" of a player that quits. Also,"MUCH" to easy on a player that quits. More ought be done to discourage and penalize QUITTERS.
Also it is TOO easy to boot a player - Boots ought to be 2nd by other players. Boots are mostly in spite.
So many cheats on this site ruins the fun. Full of bugs... needs a overhaul to get the randomness of cards fairly
Website country hacked, cheaters can see your cards and all cards on the table. All games on this website are rigged and if you are not in the loop you do not stand a chance to enjoy your overall experience. Some games you can win, especially if you have a cheater on your partner side playing the game of spades. The Spades website is designed for those that are in control of the game. There are no moderators to deny cheaters and disgusting players. The original website designers of spades intended it for select few to control the outcome of the spades games through rigged tables.
BACKGAMMON: THEY HAVE CHEAT AT SEVERAL GAMES REDUCING TIME, MANIPULATING DICE.
VERY BAD PLAYERS (WITH BAD RANKING) GET THE PERFECT DICE.
The higher your score the better hands you get. I play pinochle. You will win 5 games in a row and not even have to think just play the cards in order. Then you loose 10 games in row and never get any meld over 10. Better to play as a guest. There are a lot of cheaters that use dummy hands to build their score up. Plus if your partner quits you get penalize for it. But its a free site. So until someone has a better one. Ive been playing with real cards for over 35 years. I never seen so many double runs, in my life double aces are about every other game. Your winning by 200 spread, then the last hand your opponent 200 meld to win.
Good site needs some improvements but all in all this could be a money maker. User friendly, runs on different formats.
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,
Recently, PlayOK changed the format for tablets. I wanted to like it, I really did. I tried it out for a few weeks, but it's not visually friendly. At least not for me. So, I decided to email and give my feedback.
This was my email:
Okay, I have given it a whirl now since you began the new tablet layout and sorry, but I'm not a fan. The cards are smaller and on 2 rows which makes it challenging to see what you have. It's more difficult to follow the scores and the players. The other format has worked great, so why change it?
Unless it's reversed, I will be playing less and only on my laptop. I like to sit on the couch at night and play on my tablet, but just can't do it with this new format.
Just my opinion.
This is the response I got back:
Stop being so arrogant and claim the old format was working great
Why would we change it if it was great?
Maybe you too ignorant to understand why it was changed in the first place? You claims were insulting
Only idiots would change something that was working great
Are you stupid not to see arrogance in your claims?
Wish I knew where I could write to report this.
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
