Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Even though this game has been around for a while. Nothing compares to the relaxing game atmosphere. A must for a gambler who doesnt want to lose real money.
Some of the advertisers hold you hostage and do not allow you to exit out of the ad, even after the ad finished playing. This often causes a player to miss joint a tournament or unable to play the first hand after the tournament started. Temu is really bad with this. A couple of others like Chime and the Royal Kingdom ads have you hitting the X button 5 to 6 times before you are let loose from the advertiser.
There doesnt seem to be anything random about this site! Runner, Runner Bad Beats occur far too often, with the winner having absolutely nothing after the flop. It really is bingo, not realistic live casino poker.
Since the update the game freezes and you have to close everything then you end up right back in the live game or tournament, no matter what youve missed.
An opportunity to have fun and spread kindness throughout the world.
What we dislike is they double charged us so we wouldnt recommend buying anything from them and its also rigged.
We bought a new iPad and your site did not transfer our poker monies to our new iPad our handle is Pa.sta.
Love this poker app. Like the variety of modes where we arent essentially playing a game of big bank take little bank and people actually have to use strategy for sit n go. However we have found that some users have learned to hack the game and there is no way to report them in game. Guest1424 was able to find a hack to cheat and we would like it looked into please. Other than that this app deserves 5 stars.
Its a fun app but download and play and count the number of times the cards fall for the person with the most money. For example, youll have two kings with a full house but theyll have two aces with a full house; or youll have a full house but the the person who has more money will have four of a kind. It doesnt happen all of the time but just often enough so that if youre the one with the most money, you can end the game quickly with a win.
Seems like our Aces and Kings use to win more often but now that we cant make many deposits they never win. Stupid callers hands win instead. Very predictable and we except the lose now. Use to be more fun.
Ive been playing this game for awhile now, and while we can admit it is the most charming and well-made poker game, there have been too many moments where we have anywhere from a 90-98% chance to win and somehow the other person(s) still come out on top (or vice versa). Maybe Im just unlucky, but its gotten to the point where Ive decided for our own sake we are going to uninstall the app for the foreseeable future. It seemed a little too common in our opinion, maybe thats just us, play at your own risk.
Nice poker play. But, hate the ads trapping you to watch them without leaving the ad. Greedy programming.
Cmon, guys we mean its stupid enough that you cant buy chips, you have to get gems and trade them in for chips but the play is FAIR??? You must think were stupid. And dont respond with your pat little blah blah blah discourse about how the app is Guaranteed fairness. Aint buying it. Delete.
We just downloaded this app today. We understand bad beats. But when we raise $140, pre flop with a J,K suited. King and 2 face cards on the flop, raise again. A caller with a 5,2 stays in. A two comes up on the turn, he raises, we go all in and a two comes on the river. Does that sound like a real player would play a hand like that. We are quite conservative and have has several questionable beats, and this is our first day.
The playing hands are not balanced enough. We literally played 100 hands and never reached anything higher than a full house. Something needs to be done to allow monster hands more often after all it is free to play game so it might as well be exciting.
Echoing some of the other reviews about things not seeming quite right. We see wayyyyyyyyyy too many turn and river cards making a straight, flush, or full house. For us and other players as well. We find it highly doubtful that the deal is random. It may be considered fair play to assign an even number of winning hands to each player. However, fair winning hands does not equate to random card pull from a deck.
Fun to play but not very realistic. Only played one day and have seen four of a kind come up 4 times in a few hours. Crazy how many straights, flush, and full houses you see in a couple hours. Not realistic at all.
Ive played many poker apps and win or lose, they were all fun and entertaining. But this poker championship, lol , is amazingly the most lousy poker app Ive come across. Indeed the champion name fits this app perfectly, because it is the Champion when it comes to dealing the same two hands over and over and over and over. How can we get Jack and 2 of different suits five times in a row. Even if we play at differently table Ill still get another same two hands four times in a row Ex10 and 2. What the heck ??? Theres something wrong in the minds of the people who created this game app.
Home of the bad beat. Far and away the worst poker game online. If you are ahead heads up, you will be drawn out around 70-80% of the time. It happened to us 20 straight times- we counted. Pocket aces? Dont bet. Some guy with 7-2 off will get 7-7-2 for a full house. Best graphics, Worst deals online. Yesterday some guy got 3 flushes and a full boat in consecutive hands. That only happens in an alternate universe. Kept track and lost 13 of 15 times when we went in with the better hand. When you can predict what the other guys river card is, there is not much random about the hands.
We really dont get people are folding, and folding then stay all in, when they have nothing until the last card.
That is why there are so many BAD BEATS!!!! The app tries to deplete your bank roll by given you a hand that is top notch and the bots bet all-in (knowing that it will win), and low and behold, the last cards fills in the hand of the bots, just enough to win the hand All so you have to spend real money, to buy fake monies, to win pretend fake monies and wear fake crowns!! Hahahaha This is what they a MONEY SCAM, pure and simple!! Have Fun, Fool.
Yet another rigged app. RNG is pre planned to support the worst player at the table.
Have a Chip and a Chair badge with a 5x multiplier to the final winnings for any player whos chip stack goes down to $10 in any multi table tournament and comes back (without rebuying) to win 1st place in the tournament. Their tournament winnings should be multiplied by 5 and the get the elusive Chip And A Chair decoration to display for 30 days for everyone to see.
Firstly, this is our favorite poker app. We really like the way everything is organized, gorgeous graphics, and the fact that your blackjack app is the same but also links with the poker app to give you extra rewards is awesome! Our main reason for writing this review though is because we think it would be really cool if you added emotes that were poker chip tricks. Such as shuffling the chips, thumbs flip, etc. Maybe make it something you have to buy with gems? Idk. Please add this, and if not we still love your game! Have a great day, whoever reads this.
If you like unrealistic flops, turns, and rivers, then this app is for you.
Dont waste your time on this app and expect to play long on their free chips. We couldnt win and we suspect it was because we were playing only as a guest using their free chips.
We found this app originally on Steam and had been playing in on our laptop, but we recently downloaded it on our phone because we enjoyed it so much. We will say, the odds of the cards and hands that you get are a bit weird, and the card dealing may be a bit rigged, but it isnt rigged towards anyone specifically, so it just makes the game more exiting! So overall, great game. Edit: we just lost all our f*****g money because we had three twos, and this other guy has pocket fours, with s four on the table, its so rigged!! Worst hand ever! Edit 2: Eh, still five stars.
The game is kind of cool, but the bots come in and win with crazy junk hands.
Fun games but makes wrong call on hands a lot. Like itll say a 2 pair of 7s and 3s beats lets say kings and 10s. Or like a pair of jacks beats a flush and stuff. Stuff like that. So it can be very frustrating. Dont happen all the time but pretty regularly.
Thank god this isnt for real money. Site is filled with bots who will have gods greatest luck to beat you on the higher stages. We assume they do that so youll invest money to buy chips but this site is awful. Play somewhere else.
Dont waste your time here. Game is not poker its bingo game.. Going to say it again this is probably the worst game ever we think zinga poker is better. Feels like you playing bots and not people.
Needs to improve the Tokyo shootout. So frustrating to win in Tokyo but lose all in Macau.
We enjoy playing, especially with all the people across the world. But we do believe the game is rigged. We can't believe how certain people continue to win all the time. And it bates you in the hand by giving you a great hand only to lose to a more better hand.
Why do we sometimes have the probability or percent chance showing and sometimes we dont.
Dislike the canned messages. At least update them.
So we cant play with people we know across the country but we can play with someone over and over to take their money in different rooms just following a name. Very dumb. Also the tournaments are kinda lame. Why give us a notice that its open when on the home page but it has closed.
Why don't we have a weekly score.
This game as you show is not FairPlay. We have lost so many games in a row,its unbelievable. We cannot afford to purchase stuff. We think this may contribute to it. Im disabled and are home 7 days a week and can only watch tv and sleep and play this game. We are a good poker player but the beat downs are ridiculous. We will not recommend this game to anyone else. The ones we did we will tell them what has happened in the past month or two. At first it was fun but the last four months have been awful. Sorry.
This is the best poker site ever! They are so helpful when you need them. Thank you.
The he only way poker champ could be better is if they had an option to play for real money as well.
We see some reviews claiming the app is rigged somehow, but as for us, all we see is that when we play smart, we win or at least minimize our losses – and when we play emotionally (letting things get personal between ourselves and another player, or getting mad at ourselves or the game when its just us making poor decisions), we dont do as well. Nobodys forcing you to call that other bet, and when you study the deck cards carefully, you can always know whether someone has the possibility of a good hand – and whether your hand is the best of those possibilities. Its actually a pretty simple game, IF you can just keep your emotions out of it! Anyway, we really enjoy this app; its design is actually beautiful, and except for some recent freezing issues we and some friends have been experiencing lately (all using Sony Bravia TVs running the Android system), we havent seen a better Texas Hold Em app out there. And with all the free chips you can get every day, you never have to spend real money here if you dont want to! So take a seat, keep your cool, realize that 90% or more of the hands youll be dealt (here or anywhere else in the real world or in the virtual one) WONT be winners and if youre patient and play smart, youll do just fine. And besides all that, youre playing with people from all around the world, and thats pretty cool, too! MFF/Honolulu 5-13-23.
Had to delete this rig poker. Its unreal how you can lose with full houses, flush, straight and even four of a kind in the last river card. Whoever have the most money in the table in the begging will get all the luck. This isnt poker. We understand it might be lucky but it happens all the time. No longer we will play in this app.
We can in 2 , won 1.25000.00 never got our winning.Been waiting over a week.So what up with this.
Sometimes we think the game is rigged. But its still fun.
We have always like to play Texas holdum and this game makes it seem even more enjoyable.
We like the tournament sit and go.
Hands are closer to lifelike,than WSOPand random hands are most important.this is superior to wsop.
The poker is the best poker game on the App Store but we give it a four stars because there isnt a friends list. Please add a friends list for those who want to play with friends.
From the designated winner to the horrible beats this game is not poker! There is no way of playing normal. Go in with the worst hand imaginable and come out the winner. The wow factor determines the outcome. And dont bother thinking you can ever win a tournament if you are not designated as a winner. It will not happen. But if you like to play and go all in on the worst hand you can find, this game is for you! Wrote this yesterday and today we are paying for it! Nothing random about that.
We enjoyed this app until it freezes up on you all the time and its not our internet connection because it happens to others . We finally uninstalled, not a good game.
