“Great place”

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.

“Bull****tiest of all time.”

Playok literally allows cheaters to roam freely and use analysis boards and other accounts meanwhile our a**es getting banned for mass registration. If you try asking, they act like "F*** you, not my problem". The biggest mistake is playok.com existing for almost 23 years. Marek Futrega needs to f***ing die.

This is a good site to play so many different games and the people you play with are friendly and courteous

Antisocial behavior of many players and at playok they don't respond to my complaints, but when you complain about this you have a problem with playok.
I submit the words used by some players at playok via copies, but playok does nothing and even turns things around. That there are players who display antisocial behavior is so far, but that playok now just goes along with it is unbelievable.

Finally, just this, in response to my complaints, I also received a chat ban of 1 week without reason. Hereby i cancel my account and everyone is warned, dont play by playok.

These sites are suppose to be fun anything but. My last 200 games I have won 30. On top of that it is anything but random. My opponent has been given 90% of the deals to start game. That is awful. Played a guy 6 games today and I drew out what would happen. He was given deal 5 straight. I told him i would get deal in 6th but he would steal crib. At that point I told him he would end up pegging a whole bunch and he did. Was down 95 to 42 when i left and deleted account. After 6500 games I will not be back.

Totally fake dice rolls on backgammon. One day you cant lose, even if you try, next day you cant lose and had Romanian scum regularly get 10 doubles in a row to help $#*!s win. Typical low IQ Polish and east European cheating scum. Wipe these cockroaches out, Russia

Tip for consumers:
dont waste your time unless youre a Roma gypsy $#*! or a polish nazi unermensch

Products used:
$#*!ty backgammon

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

Hilarious 1997 tier UI, the gomoku section is filled to the brim with painfully obvious cheaters (excluding bots but in reference to humans using AI to cheat) and crude foul mouthed Slavs that meet you with such pleasantries as "go $#*! yourself $#*!" and ban you from the table when you do win. The irony is staggering. If anyone outside the pitiable excuse for programmers' circle manages to gain an above average ELO rating, that person's account will mysteriously be deleted (this has happened to myself once and 2 acquaintances, one said account being over 8 years old). And for God's sake, don't be naïve enough to attempt to contact "support". Plenty of people in the reviews seem to have already made that mistake.

My ISP has been blocked for the reasons that I sent playok both email of screen shot and chat log regarding a poor behavior member.

1 He bid 13 on spades game.
2 He sent me genital symbol and said "send this to your daughter", then "send this to your sister".
3 He stalked me. He kept coming back by his other name. You cannot block them all.genital symbol.
4 He was right because he laughed at me when I said I reported this to playok.

There have been many of them on this website. You would be stalked, harrassed and bullied by them. Cheating or bidding 13 on spades are your punishment and Playok has done nothing to that. You will be blocked when you reported them. I am disappointed as I thought they would be and should have been morally better to own such a website.for public use. Somehow, this becomes worsen than Yahoo games in the past.

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

Random die rolls are still not happening. I'm almost thinking that if you write a critical review here they will change how your profile make your die rolls less favorable. This is all about Backgammon. No updates to the interface in the last year. When you are on the bar and trying to come down your die rolls are not visible as they are benight the 'Roll Again" message. Could be so much better if they cared.

There is no way the developers have spend any time in the last 20 years updating their site. Their random generator doesn't do the job. There is no way to contact them to see if they have anything in mind to make improvements. Go else where. You'll be disapointed

I have played pinochle for nigh onto 50 years and not once in that amount of time have I ever seen a game where one team got 90% of the aces until the one I just played. Neither my partner or I had aces around once during the game. And, on top of that we only had 2 hands with 20 or greater meld. No one can tell me that the site does not determine which team will win. I actually think the two opponents were bots because they never sent on message of any kind during the play even though both my partner and I asked simple get acquainted type messages.

You win the 10 first games or so and continue playing, then your luck turns completly and the most surrealistic bad luck happens. Either you lose because opponent gets ALL the right rolls, or you think you'll win, but you cannot roll, let's say 6/2. What do you get? 6/2. Doesn't matter, as long as opponent doesn't roll 4/3. What does he get? You know it.

Most rigged piece of sh*** i've ever played, to avoid at all cost.

Even after write to this site the responding is very lousy. They ignore totally. Played many other online games (backgammon) but on this site it realy sucks. They better close it and concentrate to users who give advice.

I have been playing at this site for about 3 years. They do allow you to report players for abuse etc.: however in my opinion they do allow players to use cheat programs in single player games. Not good if you just want to have some fun.

I play hearts and bridge, with hearts you can report abuse and also block people, which puts an X against thier name so you can avoid them in future.In hearts you get a rating, im lucky enough and good enough to often have a red rating, but not good enough to get the very highest. Sometimes you play against cheats who have 2 different ids (probably using 2 computers), in order to get good results/ratings.

With Bridge, i have been playing bridge off and on for 40 years, i still am not the best player but have been dissapointed with the level of courtesy and suprised by the rudeness of a sizeable percentage of the users, even those with womens names.

Usually bridge players are mature enough to rarely delve into low class comments/behaviour, but that is often not the case in playok bridge.

Management is horrible. Blocks ppl who don't cheat and don't block cheaters. Also can't get in touch with them. Useless site and shameful owners. Horrendous.

Headlines says it all a lot of cheats and bullies. The random dealer is AWFUL if you are on the losing loop it can be 5 games without a playable hand the game seems to designate winners and losers before the games start.

Tip for consumers:
World of card games is better. I am in no way connected to World of Card Games except as a user.

As well stated by a previous writer, this manipulated pos game is run and ruined by idiot pollacks who create a hostile environment by rigging the deal, the cards, and making it impossible to win if caught in the losing loop. You discard any card you don't need, it's the opponets card, even when you break off a pair, your next draw is that same pic or card to your run. You're predetermined to lose. What a useless bunch of ignorant programmers!

Backgammon game is completely insane. The way the dice are manipultated by the software to force a wanted outcome is nothing short of insulting to basic human intelligence. There´s nothing fun about playing here, unless you are antisocial or don´t know how to actually play the game and want to pretend. Their goal is to hook you in by giving crazy rewarding miracle rolls. Stay away! This is not harmless or safe, eventhough no money is involved

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.

Playok.com is a third world website full of rude and ignorant people. Game play is fixed and predictable. You don't require any skill whatsoever to win, you just have to play the "pattern" The website is phony and is targeting an ignorant audience by unscrupulously dealing the reciprocate hand to your opponent... makes for unrealistic play and demographics. Technically, it is a fraud and phony depiction of classical parlour games.

Results in gin are sometimes vaguely realistic, but sometimes the opponent picks up your discard to gin, but that card doesn't appear anywhere in his/her hand or in the discards. Where does it go? There are hugh swings in your results, from winning many games in a row to losing many games in a row.

They block you for mass registration. Maybe some visiting family members want their own id? Maybe, a bully keeps stalking you and you want to change it up. Maybe, partners keep leaving and killing your rating and then NO ONE wants to play with you because of your ratings. They are horrible and a bunch of LIBERALS.

There is no way that you should be able to play 4 straight games of pinochle and only get 9 aces. That happened to me last night. I had the same partner for all for games and I kept track of aces. We as a team had a total of 21 aces. And euchre is basically the same way. No team should be able to get 4 lone hands in one game and that did not happen just once tonight but twice.

Playok only gives you the option to play with partners and there are a number of problems with that, firstly so many people cheat using multiple devices. Secondly for some reason my partners are always bad and even high ranked ones can't play. Third comes the fact that when you are playing, although your partner is stupid and can't ever complete their bids, they blame it on you without any coherence and use really bad slang language, in addition the players from other sides also annoy you in the chat section. And last of all, if your partner is really stupid, well it happens most of the times to me, they will, even if your team is not losing that badly, for some reason desperately bid 13 or nil with the ACE SPADE or they just leave, like are you being SERIOUS?

Ive been playing hearts for many years. The players are rude and use offensive street language. People play according to your nationality and offend accordingly. Secretive team play is common and creates an unfair advantage over the honest lone player. This version of hearts doen not in any way resemble the wonderful family game I learned as a kid in the USA.
