Play okay sucks... it is uneven... unfair... uneverything. The algorythyms make no sense... I suspect there is a bias to for European players to dominate. For example many players never see a rank below 1900... I've literally played over 2000 games and NEVER made it above 1800s in any game. I play spades, canasta, dice, netopoly and cribbage. Most of the time I will lose 11 games in a row in a game that requires ZERO skill... wins and loses based on algorythyms... its discouraging. I don't know how they keep people on there. The players are abusive, cheaters, and there is no recourse. I miss the other venues in which we could play good games and had at least a chance in hell of winning occasionally. Once you get to a certain rank its like an alarm goes off somewhere and you suddenly lose literally a dozen games back to back sinking you back down in rank while some rarely see a loss... its ridiculous.
If kurnik dislikes you, opponents always have inordinate number of miles and void suits. True waste of time.
I suspect the developer doesn't know what byo-yomi means. For instance 15+1 should mean 15 minutes main time and then each step counting to 1 min. However the setting appears to be after the main time is up the player only gets 1 minute for all steps. This is quite stupid and enables some $#*!y players to get cheap "wins".
Be careful! This platform is operated by fraudsters who will steall your money and then block you everywhere... I lost 230 euros!
Not only is cheating common, but one loses points if their partner abandons games which happens a lot. Very frustrating experience
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.
Cheating: from same IP-adress multiple players (read: same player)
Complaining to playok.com results in this anwser: "They can play any games they want. Don't bother us about such issues".
You wonder where all the Polak jokes come from, well this site is a great source. How many Polaks does it take to screw up a Gin Rummy game, answer, as many idiot Polaks that program and run the site. Computer set to deal gin in one or two cards, the card that are the players gin cards are the lone cards in your hand. You discard one of your pairs, the very next draw is a matching card. When you take an opponents discard, then discard it back, the very next draw for the opponent is their gin card. You have 7,9 spades dealt and you discard the 9, your very next card is the 8, you discard that, your very next card is the 6. POS site POS Polaks running the site, POS Polaks playing the game. Poor players with losing records, are dealt pat hands, gin or one card shy. Computer reads each players hands and is programmed to deal out the cards accordingly. POS site and people. Have fun!
I use to play at Yahoo games which was great, been a long time. Playok sucks, the cheating, and when you call the cheaters out, don't insult them or you'll get blocked, lol. The only good thing is the games have a time limit, if they otherwise copied how Yahoo did it that would be an improvement. Overall, if you enjoy playing games online, and you're looking for a good honest experience, playok is a waste of time.
Extensive cheating activities and abusive languages, particularly from Chinese players are not managed at all. Never respond to reports and complaints.
Answer: Difference between ratings, a person with a smaller rating that beats a person with a higher rating will get a larger bounty than a player with a higher rating beating a lower ranked player will get a smaller bounty, Also, pattern of playing changes when there are differences in ratings. Odds of pattern play are further tilted towards lower ranked player and handicapping the larger rated player.
