World Series of Poker - WSOP Positive Reviews
Defies all laws of Statistical norms and Probability TheoryOkay if you want to play poker like you would play roulette or blackjack and you don’t mind spending money to do it. They may be forced by the gaming commission to certify that hands are randomly generated for their real money sites but that doesn’t mean that they apply that to the “free” game. It also doesn’t mean that the software isn’t engineered to generate specific hands during tournaments or events that generate bonuses based on the strength of a hand. Examples: (1) The frequency of split pots. Most common where multiple players have the same straight. Less common but still way outside the normal bell curve distribution are players having the same flush or full house. (2) Multiple full house hands (2 or 3) at the same 9 player table over the course of 5 to 12 hands. (3) A player winning 2 or 3 consecutive hands at a 9 Player table. (4) A player winning more than 1 pot with a full house at a 9 player table during a single round. (5) The proportion of hands won by players holding hole cards that professional players would not call or raise with (2,7; 3,8; 2,6, 4,9 etc).MaGoo1315Version: 8.4.0
Becoming unfairThis game has gotten out of hand, you have ppl playing at a table with a billion chips along with ppl who have only 100 million or only 10-20 million or less...on first call some raise at a decent raise level, however, the big chip holder person will raise an ungodly amount so if anyone wanted to meet it or raise they lose their whole chip amount playing with...if they lose...Should be rooms with limits on amount of chips owned! The game isn't poker anymore, it is who can or is able to raise high enough to win, no skill, just keep raising!!! It boils down to EAPoker wanting purchases of chips!!! Sad! I continue to play but with much fustration!! The clubs are horrid!!! I take my chips and play and win to advance in rank, however I can't alwAys play due to work, so you keep taking me back to lower ranks!! Take me back to level one of that particular suit but not all suits!! I earned it with money spent only to take it away!! Absurd!!! I do appreciate the free chips, the specials etc...I truly hope you read and absorb this writing...hope to hear from you. Cheryl M I still believe wsop has gotten out of hand, but I limit my spending and just feel sorry for the ppl that can't! Wsop could lessen the cost and still come out ahead!!!.FawnchiVersion: 6.13.5
Near PerfectThis is the best poker game out there and it is near perfect I just have a few things that I think could make this truly great. First, I would like some type of free roll tournament every week or month where people could enter for free and maybe earn some bit of real money. Second, I think it would also be nice if there was just a little bit more time to make a decision with hands unless I have missed something. Finally, it would be cool to have leagues of some sort both public and private where people could play like a season or something along those lines. Now to hit on a point that a lot of people bring up in their reviews about having to pay money. Depends on how good you are in all honesty and how well you understand poker and how the people who make games make money. If you aren’t good and you want the games bracelets/rings you are either going to have to be good and earn them the real way or pay lots of money. Poker is a game where 80% or more of people that play never turn a profit it would be stupid not to capitalize on this as a developer and they also have to make money to give us a great game. Like I said truly a great game just a lot of people not understanding how things work in their reviews..Dfherut91Version: 6.1.0
Excellent but...It's amazing and I respect to developers of this game... I can say it's one of the best poker games in the Google Play and App Store. It has great graphic, nice and enjoyable game play and a lot of good points. But I have a serious new protest! I invited more than 50 person of my Facebook friends so far and after each inviting, I got 2M dollars free chip, but now it's just 50K!!! WHY??????! Give me a logical answer because I'm shocked! I'm surprised! I'm playing this game for 1,5 years, I never didn't expect something like this! Are you looking for more purchase chips? So I spent almost 200 or 250 dollars to buy chips! And I'm sure a lot of players of this game purchase chips from this game and I think you have no problem like this... I invite almost 2-5 person each week in this game! Why I should see something like this? As I wrote, everything in this game and all games of your company is NICE and really attractive, but I'm very upset about decreasing free chips for inviting friends... Suddenly from 2M to 50K????! please convince me and write why you did that? I really need your answer and I think it is the question of a lot of players of this game... we're waiting for your respond. Good luck and I wish all the best for you..ID INVersion: 2.16.4
Fun and FrustratingI have been playing for years using the iPad app for free. I have never paid for a chip. I have had as much as 900 million chips, but I think I average 1 million. There are very effective ways of taking what you have and giving you more to keep playing. I absolutely Love playing the Daily Blitz every day. I absolutely hate having to click through all the promotions every time I leave a table to enter the Lobby. I am not an expert player, but like others, I feel there are forces at work. I go through long spells (defying the odds) where my pocket cards are crap and my only way to win is by bluffing. I also think there are Prop Players (players supplied by the game) at the tables driving up the ante and bets that are inconsistent with the odds of their hands. Lastly, more frequently than I see in real world games, many, many high stake hands are being decided at the River in favor of player with extremely low odds for winning. It’s humorous at times that players will pay high bets to stay in for the River. I lose most of my chips to low odds River cards. I accept it now as part of the fun. WSOP is fun, but a little frustrating. Is it the Poker Gods or is it WSOP?.JohnOnIdolCTVersion: 7.0.0
Fun, but it’s quite a money drain.WSOP is always fun, no question. Got hooked playing online back about 15-years a go when it was first on AOL (and tourney winners actually won a trip and buy-in to the real WSOP in Las Vegas). This app certainly works great like you’d want and expect for the brand, and keeps you entertained for sure. The real problem with it though, and unlike other game apps I’ve used, it nearly requires you to not only make in-app purchases, but to do so consistently....and they are not cheap for what you get. For example, $15 gets you about $75 Million in chips. Only enough to play 5 entries in the bottom level of the special tourneys they have....but along with that every pot you win they deduct 15% locking it away in your “piggy bank” which you have to pay to break and get your chips back. Basically theft in-app. So without putting more money in constantly you cannot keep playing the weekly games/tourneys as 99% of users will eventually run their chips dry. The same $15 that eventually runs dry on this app will get you several decent apps in the store, so not a great app for this reason alone. The value is simply lacking long term. Chips should be cheaper and much easier to earn in quantity to still take part in the weekly fun, even for those on a budget..Etune07Version: 6.10.0
Pretty good but…..I learned poker in Las Vegas while in the Army. I fell in love with it. Your game is decently close. I’ve played your game on an off for a few years now. I mentioned the algorithm a few years ago, and you told me the same thing about how it’s not and yada yada yada. I agree with the others. If you play real poker and are good at it, which I am for almost 17 yrs; either it’s an algorithm or something else, so say what you want on that. You still have the best game. My biggest issue is when you are playing championship games, you lose and you want to start a new game, you have to sit there and wait for the game to let you out which is irritating especially when you lose and want to play again. The game use to allow you to go to the lobby if you lost to start a new game. Now it doesn’t. It should be the players choice. You shouldn’t have to sit their for a minute or so. I can deal with the rest but that should be my decision. Hey and for the record…no one would keep a 2/3 of diamond and win game. This happens on your game to many times I’ve been beat with a hand that’s a miracle. So like many others, this your game does cheat. You can say it doesn’t all day, but if you are experienced you understand the cards and play..Inkera60Version: 8.19.0
Great fun but has issuesI have been playing this game for awhile and I have tons of fun at it but my problem with this app is that the algorithm is designed to equally distribute chips among everyone after so many hands . Tested theory thousands of times . Even with this being said I don’t mind because I still have fun playing with family and friends . My particular problem with this game is that I have made all appropriate measure to make sure in app purchases are turned on, but I’m still unable to purchase chips to continue playing . Took further measure to add money to my iTunes account for purchase to ensure it wasn’t a card or bank problem and it’s not . Money was added successfully. I get a constant loading error. And with this being said on multiple occasion of trying to purchase I’ve missed out over 200+ million chips during deals ! I think a business would take head in making sure that in app purchases would be available because without money it’s not a “business” . No reply to my emails reporting a problem. So I have yet to see if they honor all the chips I’ve missed as well ..AdamLane081Version: 5.17.0
Moving onThis game and a lot of others is fun at first.
The challenges are fun and prizes are cool to
( brackets, rings, trophies ect...) you get your bank up quick the first bracelet. Then it takes foreverrrrrr to get the next! You also lose money quick especially if you like to play a lot. You get either bots or people who pay to have a huge bank to play on low bank tables and you get what I call the table bully ! Eventually you lose your stack or go down so low you can’t play. Like other games I feel this a ploy to get you to in app purchase. If you are like me and do not purchase. The fun dies out you delete and your on to another game. Even with free spins and chips you still can’t play. I would in app purchase if I could win real money. To bad cuz it’s a fun game to play. Being pressured however is not !!!! Good luck ! if you like to spend your money this is the game for you. If. The game let you get up a big bank you may have a better shot! Governor of poker 3 does the same thing and that was super fun ... until you can’t play especially when you join a team. I even tried in app purchase and then it seemed like they wanted me to purchase more and more.... oh well.ShorttimefunVersion: 7.10.0
Half hour of play times seems goodFist and second impressions included! I have tried countless poker games and there all junk! This one seems to be fare I have only play maybe 40 50 hands. On the other hand the amount of spam is annoying but it might have been just the intro. First impression is it’s a good game.
With that being said months afterwards I notice this weird thing where two cards of the same rank are in the first and third spot in the flop (out of twenty hands this will happen at least ten times) even if you bluff high there Will be that one guy who doesn’t have any matches with the flop and still wins with the last two cards, and do believe that that same person will win a lot over there stay at a single table. When I first started it felt like they were giving me awesome hands a lot and I quickly gained lots of money and then I took a vacation break and now even my good hands (which I honestly don’t get as much of) get thrown to the side. I was getting close to a billion and now just under 20 million and now they ask me to rate there game again..Zoroman12Version: 8.21.0
Best Poker APP There Is!WSOP is a lot of fun to play and the more friends you make in game, the more chips you can earn free! The APP always has contests and free ways for you to earn and get more chips free! Yes there are lots and lots of bad beats on the river, but you always have the option to fold too! It’s a great learning tool to get better at poker and always has ways to increase your bankroll! Be prepared to just collect chips all day long by setting a timer and collect as many free chips you can and play your best hands and just go have fun! Remember it’s just a game and be polite and not rude, because there are always rude players out there and don’t we already have enough problems in this world we can’t just be civilized and nice to each other and enjoy a nice game of poker? Not every hand a winner and A’s get busted all the time in the real game of poker in any casino so deal with like a grown up and be gracious and say “nice hand!” Like you should! Go have fun and enjoy the game of poker!! Remember it takes just minutes to learn, but a lifetime to master!.TexasHeathBarVersion: 8.22.0
Too many pop-upsThis is definitely fun as all Hold-em games are. And I haven’t heard of people getting losing their bankroll all of a sudden like I’ve heard of other games.
What I dislike about this particular one is all the pop-up ads to purchase chips or to get into a tourney or whatever they have going on at the time. It gets tiresome having to close these out for the first minute of trying to play every dang time. There’s a button to purchase things, why put them in our face every time we open the game up? If I want to purchase something I’ll hit the button to do so.
Also, I don’t know about the whole algorithm thing as far as win and lose go. It does seem that once I get a good bankroll going it is taken away slowly by unlucky hands or bad beats but that happens in real poker too. I just don’t think it happens as often as it does here. I mean I’ve been beat more than once by someone that has a higher flush than I when there’s only 3 of the same suit on the board. I’ve played a lot of physical poker and can’t remember when I’ve seen that happen once. If the cards are honestly dealt randomly then what’s the momentum scale and other things if you purchase chips for?.*[Twisted]*Version: 6.3.1
4 StarsRecent improvements seem to be working well. More free chips would be helpful. Seems to be working a little bette Iam retired on a fixed income and could use some more chips please. Thank you. Anything you can do to help with extra chips would be appreciated. Love the site I am inviting several of my friends to join me thanks. I am retired live on minimum income. Some additional chips would be helpful, Thank you. Had a great day. Thanks This site is clearly the best poker site among its peers. Keep up the good work. This old man thanks you. Many thanks for keep a well operated Thanks Keep up the good work. A few extra chips would help. It’s been pretty tight lately. Could use some chips. Thanks. Grandpa Keep up the great work. Has been a slow couple of weeks now. Can’t seem to win any hands. I could use some more chips. Thanks Grandpa
It’s been hard lately to play against those with billions of chips on the smaller tables. Some extra chips would be helpful. Thanks Grandpa..D-spadesVersion: 9.8.3
Great presentation; poor card generatorI have played several “free” poker games, and this one is the slickest, easiest to read and navigate. The problem is the dealer is not truly random. It’s almost like premium hands come more often in order to pique interest of the players. For example, u will see a pair on the flop (e.g., JJ9) A LOT. Also, u will see pocket pairs frequently, and lots of KK and AA. In discussions with other players I have see comments like “you win when the machine wants you to win.” And this refers to the streaky nature of the game play. Here’s another example. The game also features a “bonus wheel” you can spin between games to get extra chips. There are 12 slots on the wheel with various denominations, including one gold “jackpot” slot. Six slots are tagged with the lowest prizes, so one might assume one would hit the low prizes about 50% of the time spinning the wheel. Wrong—it’s about 90% of the time hitting the lowest prizes—because it’s not random! The developers insist the computer program and card generator is completely random, but in my experience of two years of regular play on WSOP, I respectfully disagree.
Anyway, it’s a nicely designed game, but it could be better..GS JockeyVersion: 6.12.6

World Series of Poker - WSOP Negative Reviews
Inconsistent and outrageously high daily quest requirementsThe daily quest requirements are fine when at the lower levels such as jacks, queens, and kings but they shoot up to a much higher, more time consuming requirements even though the prizes for those quests are identical to the quest prizes for the lower level requirements. Even after not playing for a while in order to get back to the lower level of king, the quest requirements remained at the higher level. I compared the quest requirements for my two accounts and noticed that they were not consistent and one account’s requirements were much higher than the other account even though they were at the same kings level. My suggestion is to keep the quest requirements low and consistent so that more players will participate to complete those daily quests.
I am also having problems with WSOP support at times. When I have messaged support in the past with issues and there are more than one question in the message, they have a bad habit of only answering one of the questions and then ignoring the other questions.
I have also contacted support numerous times now because they still haven’t issued the additional followers for a promotion that required players to complete all daily quests for a certain period. The prize was to be issued on or before December 14th but I have yet to receive the prize or any notification. What is the point of running a promotion when the promoters don’t follow through to issue the prizes?.No bingo allowedVersion: 8.23.0
Very biased and unrealistic winnings. Also can’t log in.First of all since switching to iPhone I can’t log in with Facebook and that’s been irritating. However, this is how it’s been for both my fiancé and I both, at first this was the best poker game on the play store and the App Store. More recently it’s become more biased towards the buyers of chip packages, card packages etc. long story short as long as you spend money on the game you’re destined to win, otherwise you’re gonna lose everything. They’ll let you win when you first make an account then you’ll over time lose chips and lose chips until you finally give in to buying and they’ll let you win some just to make you feel good about it. My biggest issue and complaint is I’ve had plenty of encounters with this huge flaw. It caters to the buyers and more frequent players, for example I’ve had a hand say 3 of a kind and win 90k out of a 800k pot and someone with a pair of 5’s takes the rest. That one happens all too often and that one really gets under my skin. This game is very biased and I can’t stand it. It’s not so much of a poker game as much as it is a randomized virtual lottery game with a poker twist to it at this point. Except you don’t win any actual money back they just take from you. Otherwise it’s still probably the best one on both app stores as far as gameplay aside front zynga, which is also very arcade like. I suggest poker stars on your PC or the app stores honestly haha.CAJ#1Version: 7.2.0
Crooked gameI have played this game for some time now. What I have found through the years is that if you purchase their chips, it’s amazing how after a couple of hands you start winning. Then you will go on and win a number of games after that. After I noticed this after a couple of purchases I decided to keep a log. I am a conservative player, so I keep an eye on what cards I play. Generally the cards in my hand should be winning hands, but since I have not purchased chips for a number of days; I lose the hand and the game. I have been playing since Tuesday, and have yet to win one game and very few hands. The odds are definitely against me; I wonder why....With my information I have gathered, I can definitively confirm that this game is rigged!!! Now that I have decided to write a bad review, I may somehow lose all of my chips, which due to purchases and winning special rings is about 35 Billion. I will be surprised if I don’t. If they can rig the game as they do, they can surely make my chips disappear. I guess it’s time to find a new Texas Poker game. Oh BTW a lot of other players think as I do. If you can find the private group regarding this game, you will be surprised what you find out.
Update:
It’s amazing the “oops technical difficulties” you’ll experience when you try to get the Mega Bonus. Also interesting, if you look up their portfolio how much money per day they bring in. This game is rigged, and those of us who are long time players know this..WatchathinkVersion: 7.12.0
Best Texas Hold’em app, but...I’ve tried all the popular poker apps and yes, this one is better than the others... but u still have the issues of extensive algorithm programming that interfere with fair gameplay. For example, they give new players “lucky” river cards to win n such. I noticed around lvls 30, 50, n 80 that my “beginners luck” was adjusted down a lil each time. N finally at around lvl 130 it must have been turned completely off. I went thru over 300million chips in almost 2weeks of play where I literally lost all but 15 hands played. It was then that I stopped playing for quite awhile.
I started playing again to play with my friends. At this point I’ve played well over 40k+ hands now. Another irritating example of algorithm manipulation has been is how I’ll pay the blinds and play the hand only to lose, over n over again, hand after hand. Then wen u fold on crap cards (pre-flop), u suddenly realize u folded a winning hand. U would have won either thru making a low pair or by getting the 4 precise cards u would’ve needed. With a ratio of 100 (played n lost) to 3 (folded n would’ve won), if horribly obvious that things r being manipulated to encourage u to purchase chips.
But, even with these flaws, I would recommend this poker app because, all the other apps I’ve tried “cheat” u out of ur chips way more bluntly n don’t seem as secure against hackers as WSOP. Also, they do give u plenty of ways to get free chips..Bluknght3Version: 5.14.0
Not Really PokerThis game is all about trying to get people to buy more chips and has very little to do with actual poker. There is very little incentive to play well, because people just keep buying chips and throwing them around like they’re flipping coins. Rankings are not at all based on poker skill, just on how many chips you buy. Ridiculous. And even though I received two responses to reviews saying “rest assured that all deals are random,“ it is very obvious that they either turn your “luck” on and off In a way designed to entice you into buying more chips. The funniest part is the “bonus wheel“ that magically lands right after one of the big bonuses almost every single time, lol. If a “bonus wheel” has three big prizes and nine small, how often should you hit a big one? That’s right, 1 out of 3. Definitely NOT about 1 in 100 and definitely NOT the spot right after the big prize 9 out of 10. So when they are obviously lying about that, do you really believe they are telling the truth about the “random“ cards? The whole thing is a joke. - UPDATE - This just in! The developer says “Huh Uh! We’re honest! Really! Just ask these other honest people!” 😂😂😂😂😂 - UPDATE! - Developer says I should contact customer support for technical issues! 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡 - UPDATE #3! - They did it again! “Technical Issues!” 😂😂 Come on guys, give up. You have a scam game selling literally NOTHING. You don’t have to rig it..DF-TXVersion: 9.4.0
Don’t believe it’s randomGreat overall game play. App works with the only glitch I could tell is for some reason after two or three games if I lost it would gray out and I would have to force close the app to get functionality back. Weird but not major. Now...I do not believe the card play is random by any stretch of the imagination. We all have bad luck streaks. Not complaining about that but the creative ways you can lose is ridiculous. The number of games you can lose in a row is crazy. At one point I lost 25 or so games in a row. Again, could be bad luck. But then you look at it overall and there does seem to be a pattern. One of which is you go on long losing streaks where you never or barely win. Then the next thing you know you’re winning 2 of three games for days. Okay, let’s chalk that up to luck. How about when during play when someone gets down to their lay chips/hand, the number of times they win is staggering. It’s gotta be 90% or higher wins for them, me included. My strategy ended up being (1) never bet when there was someone on their last legs betting, they were gonna win and (2) if I was on my last legs I knew I was gonna win regardless of what I had. Again, worked about 90% of the time in my estimation. Got tired of the swings and last stand winners so I deleted. Not a sore loser. Had worked my way up to $17m by playing $300k games to win $1.5m. Even through streaks was able to maintain a decent amount of chips..Cdub013Version: 5.5.0
Give access to my gameplay...After clearing up a ton of issues with payments, I’ve essentially been blackballed from this app from winning anything. I had a great “slot machine” win that was desperate using my last bit of $$$, but then I’ve lost so many straight up bets on the river you wouldn’t believe. Which is why i labeled this “give access to my gameplay”. Over the past 3 days I’ve taken screen shots & video of gameplay to determine IF I’m just unlucky but it’s hard to comprehend. Last time I posted my review below I received a response stating the algorithm was fair. I would love them to show my game play publicly to prove that. Like I said below; it’s the best platform by far for interactive gameplay but since I called out & received funds back; I’ve lost almost everything I’ve played. In most cases they were extraordinary purposes.
“The algorithm is all over the place but somewhat consistent. You should know when to play & not play but in a game of chance you always end up with consistently bad or good cards at the wrong/right times. If this game was actual cash I can’t think of a better platform COMPARED to other poker apps.
Had a major issue with payments & it showing up in my account & if you have this issue than be prepared not to have it handled by Playtika.
Also since the missions follow your progress, be prepared to spend a lot of time on the app if you don’t plan on shoveling out some money.”.Bufb88Version: 5.20.7
I play for hours every week**Update** it’s been months since my last review and the same exact issues exist. Against my better judgement I’ve continued to purchase chips because I enjoy poker and your app (most of the time). Unfortunately this problem has caused me to lose many tournaments, thus causing me to purchase more chips with my hard earned real money. Developers, you can see how many hours I spend on this app. I wonder how many others this is happening to but remain silent suffers. I’ll play for one more week and if the issues persist then I’ll just find a new poker app.
This game seems to freeze at the perfect moments that cause a loss. Frustrating, especially when I’m losing chips I paid for due to tech issues on your end. How are players like myself supposed to report issues like this? I’m 100% fine losing hands because that’s part of the game.

Designed to take your money!!!The game is Designed to take your money. I sometime wait for hours waiting for a hand to play. All I get is Great stats. I get beat on the river during this downtime when I decide to play a hand. This happens time and time again!!! I am very disappointed!!! The same pattern continues, I lose on the river!!! A lot of the people that I play on line with are saying the same! I just spent 200$ last month and 400$ this month. You continue to take my hard earn money! Very disappointed! If I do not play hands I win! The game doesn’t even come close to real poker. The computer continues to take my hard earned dollars on the river. I continue to lose my heart and dollars. If this continues I will not continue to play. Most importantly, the people that I have befriended are saying the same thing. People are losing a massive chips. Are you kidding!!!!!!!!!!!! I am too embarrass!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Play poker, I got up 96 billion chips. I lost every hand for several days in row. Down to almost nothing. I am getting robbed without a gun!!!!!! Thanks for the memories!!!!!!! Great Job!!!!!!! Most of the people on the cite say the same thing. I love the game, but I am wasting my money. I am losing at an alarming rate. The game has a lot of set up hands. The beginning players when I was river on a continuous basis. Scam!!! There are a lot of set up hands..BE FAIR 1Version: 9.4.0
Poker STYLE app...Do NOT expect to play proper poker here. There may only be 4 Aces in a deck, but somehow they manage to show up more than 60% of the time in the community cards, with a full 40% of it being on the river. The response is always some auto-generated “rest assured, the deals are random,” “check out our bogus auditing link,” “sorry,” etc. Of course, everyone complains, and many will take this as sour grapes or poor sportsmanship. Try it yourself and you’ll see. BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING!! You will only be wasting your money for fake chips that will eventually be siphoned from you through programmed losing streaks. Just the sheer number of flushes (sometimes multiple ones by two different players on the same hand), full houses, and fours-of-a-kind should illustrate how far removed this app is from any real-world poker odds. Then there are the players themselves. Some of whom have ridiculous fold and raise percentages, but somehow always get the exact 4 or sometimes 5 cards to make their all-in-blind 8-2 hand win against your AA, AK, high pair, whatever. Oh, and if you complain? Good luck ever getting a winning hand again. There are too many racist, misogynist, ignorant trolls populating this game. Each time I’ve logged a report, I suddenly have another run of bad luck that lasts longer than the time before. I’ve just played my last-ever hand of fake and highly rigged “poker” with this app..QuadarthecatVersion: 6.1.0
ALL THE GLITCHESI never write negative reviews about anything but I am so frustrated with the glitches on this app! I’ll be playing and about every other time a golden card is dealt, the app kicks me out. And yes, I’m connected to a high speed Wi-Fi every single time with only me connected to it. And then there are other times, mostly when I’m about to win a hand, where it just goes black for no reason. By the time I reopen the app, of course, I’ve lost the hand! Also, on several occasions, I’ve paid to do the daily extreme challenge and it glitches and kicks me out in the middle of the game and I win nothing and still get charged. Then I have emailed customer support each time that’s happened and no response whatsoever. If this were a completely free app, I wouldn’t care, but people are spending money on this app and losing it for no reason and have no recourse of support when it happens! Maybe the app creators should try playing once in a while so you can see where the problems are! Is anyone running this app at all or are you too busy counting the money that your ripping off from people with no recourse. Please do something and fix the problems! I’m one glitch away from never playing again on this app! This is WSOP brand so please step up, get your act together and make a product that works all the time!.JodiknowswhatsupVersion: 7.4.0
Rigged, Pop Up, JokeI loaded the app and started playing, was winning like crazy and thought I’d try the larger stake tables. Realized there are many “couples” playing and thought nothing of it. Until I realized that those couples weren’t couples at all, but one person playing multiple accounts. Wsop also chooses the table you sit at, usually always adding someone who has a high raise frequency percentage causing more players to push more chips into the pot. Splits are ridiculously common in both holdem and omaha allowing wsop to rake chips. The pop ups are a complete joke. I start up the game and get 3-4 pop ups regarding any promotions or events. I leave a table from playing and get all the same pop ups before seeing the lobby. The pop ups are ridiculous, I feel like I spend more time closing pop ups than actually playing. Lastly, I entered into a Fall tournament that takes place over a 48hr period. The goal is to win as many Fall rings as possible before tournament ends to win prize pool. I had won 4 rings and was well in first place when tournament ended. I never received the prize pool winnings. This app is clearly designed to continually have players purchase chips. Buyer beware! To top it off I played the slots, I gambled 100,000,000 hit a 2x and was paid 40,000,000. Last time I checked
2 x 100,000,000 = 200,000,000 not 40,000,000. I took a screenshot to prove it’s rigged..Player117865Version: 6.13.5
You’re Kidding Me This Isn’t A Poker GameA very poorly designed poker game. Never seen so many straights, flushes, full houses in same game. Mostly hit on last card on flop. You never see these kind of hands dealt in real poker. Must have designed by a novice. Only play this game if you don’t mind losing on the last card of the flop There is NO WAY this game is random dealing! I say again, this is a flawed computer designed game. It does not approach an actual WSOP dealt card game! This is such a poorly designed game, I will NEVER buy chips to play this game! Nothing has changed my opinion! Same message. Awful! I challenge you to compare your dealing of cards with a real WSOP game and you will see where you completely out of touch. Show me. Show me your game compares with a real WSOP game. Show me. You CANNOT! You’re obviously not paying attention. Don’t ask me to rate you again!No point. You don’t react! It’s no use! what’s the point! I will NEVER buy chips to play this game, so you can cancel me out anytime you want! What’s the point??? I will NEVER buy chips to play this farce of texas poker. “Get It”? Why do you have to program poker card dealing? Shuffle the deck and deal! What’s the point? Worst designed game ever. I will NEVER buy chips to play this game! WHAT’S THE POINT? U DON’T LISTEN! I REPEAT AGAIN. I will NEVER buy chips to play this crooked game!."Up/down"Version: 9.5.0
Fun and Exciting. But fake poker.This app is appealing to the eye. There’s fun mini games. There’s a lot going for this app but I don’t believe this to be real poker odds. I play other Texas Holdem games and the things that happen in this game rarely happen on the other apps I or software I use. However, on WSOP rare occurrence are a regular. For example, one time ( more than once ) I flopped a full house A and 7’s. The turn and the river were both 4’s. I lost to quads. Another example is almost every time you play a tournament every one is dealt pockets or high cards on the first hand. I believe if you play enough it gives you cards your likely to play and go all in. Very often if you fold say 2 and 7 of suit in middle position your sure to flop a full house or three of a kind. Conversely, if you change your strategy to limp in cause the previous example happens 90 % of the time, you lose all your chips and have to BUY more. This game is way more exciting than actual Holdem. It’s addictive. And seeks to take your real money. I don’t recommend if you are looking to be a better poker player. If you just looking for a fun guessing game to kill time by all means this a good app. Also, I’m sure someone from the app will write a rebuttal and claim that it’s true poker odds. I really truly believe it’s not.
I retract my statement..Nick28791Version: 6.16.0
GlitchI tapped on the part of the game that leads to ‘popping’ the guitar picks. Nothing happens in this other than one of the ‘picks’ animates for a few seconds. Now I can’t find a way back to playing holdem. I have tried all the obvious, and some less than obvious choices, such as delete & reinstall. After logging back in post reinstall it goes back to the same ‘pop’ minigame still stuck in that mode. It seems a little hinky to me that the game has no way to return back to the poker tables, and is doing spirits know what when you tap on something, it animates but nothing else happens, no prizes, no virtual coins… *EDIT* The developer says to “go back to the lobby” ignoring the fact that I said there’s no way to get back to the lobby, get back to playing poker etc. Perpetually stuck in the pop mini-game. For the record I’m an IT analyst / SQA manager / Cybersecurity analyst and have been in the IT world since 1996. The developer should fix their mini-game bug - I’m not the only one to note being stuck in it. Uninstalling and re-installing the game to my 2021 iPad Pro M1 running the latest iOS did NOT fix it. TLDR: if you use the balloon pop or guitar pic pop mini-game you’ll likely be stuck there with no way to return to being able to play poker. Really glad I didn’t buy any play chips with real money….ShasariVersion: 9.8.0
Decent, but silly.Poker odds are TRULY out the window here.
Fun to kill time with, but does not play like actual poker for a number of reasons. Players are stupid loose as stakes are not real (not at all the developer’s fault), thus one should expect his or her bets to be called (with weak hands) far more often than one would be were actual money at stake (i.e. far more hands will be decided by the river than would be in a live cash game). But that is to be expected in a video game, of course. The real disappointment is that whatever algorithm Playtika has developed is FAR from authentic. Expect to see more straights, flushes, full houses, and even four of kinds than would ever occur with a real deck. Presumably to keep things “exciting”? Whatever. An authentic model would be plenty exciting in my opinion, but so be it. This game is what it is. The real question for me is whether or not the bots they employ are at some kind of advantage over paying customers? It seems to me they are. Perhaps they are trying to encourage actual human beings to continue to buy more “chips”? I don’t know. Too bad though. It’s a fun game to pass the time, but don’t expect to get anything resembling an authentic poker experience. Oh well.
P.S. I have built my “bank roll” to far more than a $billion, so have had plenty of “success” within the app, but make no mistake...this is not poker. It’s a video game..Janus223Version: 6.0.0
Scam?I have been playing this game for a few years now and have noticed some weird notables happening. If you play against someone with has put money into their pockets they seem to beat you heads up. Example I just left from playing literally in a 2.5/5 mill table in this table the person I am playing against has over 600 M (59 billion in his account ) while I come to the table with 190 I get K 10 suited clubs and raise pot which came out to 16.5 mill he calls with 8 2. Flop comes 2 8 Q two clubs I check he raises 35 mill I call next card comes it's a 10 non club so now I have top pair he raises me all in nearly ( 5 mill short of all in ) so I shove with top pair and flush draw he call river comes it's a 2 non club he wins I lose 165 M. Lame hands like that happen all the time to ppl who pay too play. Another lame example same table same players this 59 billion account person is giving women not only his chips but anyone who calls. Example I have A J non suited raise pot 6 handed a hottie ( atleast pic wise ) calls me the billionaire when it comes to him raise its to 70 mill I fold the lady goes all and he folds. He did that for two women 3 times a piece while I was there before being busted. This is not a site to learn to play poker it's more likely Russian Roulette Omaha and spit all in one. No realism at all and no repercussion for making stupid calls for the players who pay..Apple rightVersion: 5.4.0
Poor gameWarning, the 4 worst starting hands to play From most worst to least worst #1. Pocket Aces.....99.9% loser #2. Pocket Kings...98.9% loser #3. Ace-King.........98.8% loser #4. Any hand you raise with pre flip Believe me, these hands never win if you are dealt them. They only win when another player has them. Isn’t that just like real poker! Also, when have you ever played real poker where at a 9 player table, at least 7 players call the big blind every hand! Never. You will never learn how to play real poker if you play this game. The absolute worst example of real poker. If you don’t believe me, play the game for a while. But never pay for chips. Never. That’s why you lose basically every hand you play. They want you to spend money for chips. If you don’t. You will learn what a bad beat is, every hand you play.
Well I’m still getting taken to the cleaner. They just keep taking my chips in hands you are sure are winners. When you bet agressively, you will always suffer runner runner bad beats But if you check on strong hands right to showdown you have a chance to win small pots. All in all this game is like no poker I have ever seen on the tv tournaments. It’s a joke. I would like to see top pros play this game and love to hear their opinions of the reality of it. They would laugh their butts off..Pappy squatchVersion: 9.1.0
Pay to WinYou like pay to win games? Well this is the game for you. You’ll download the game, start playing, win a bunch of games so that you’re sitting on like 10mil in chips, and then think to yourself “all those 1 Star reviews were just sore losers.” Then the algorithm will kick in (assuming you haven’t spent any money) and suddenly you can’t win a hand to save your life. How do I know? Test my theory, don’t spend money and see how you do after a few days. You won’t have to watch any ads, that’s a plus...so then I wonder how they make money🤔. Here’s the secret, they’ll frustrate you to the point of spending money because they assume you’re too stupid to see through their sly little ruse 🤫.
Guess what? You don’t have to accept kind of treatment. Recognize the dishonesty and punish the company by not giving them money, then let the economic chips fall where they may. The sneaky little buggers will be forced to restructure their revenue stream on a more honest foundation.
To the developers: Did you ever consider that people might actually pay costs when they know what they are? Or that the cost of freeloading and exploitation shouldn’t be passed off to the consumer? No one wants to be strong-arm robbed, but that’s effectively what you’re doing, and you’re just using frustration as your weapon to force people to fork over their dough..ProlificReviewerVersion: 5.10.0
Not great.I love poker. I like playing everything, tournaments cash or in someone’s garage whatever. I’ve played enough to know that quads shouldn’t take down a full house three times in one night which leads me to believe that the cards aren’t random. It’s good for fireworks but I’m not sure anyone believes this app has random shuffles. Bad beats galore too! If you find yourself with AA or KK you’ll want to fold that preflop. Some dude will throw a C raise all in and bust you with 38off or something. But it’s still fun. Frustrating but fun.
What I hate about this app is the POP UPS!!! So annoying that I gave an otherwise acceptable game just one star. They’ll hit you four or five times in a row. And they put the “ok” button on the first pop up right over the top of the “buy now” button of the second pop up so if you are just clicking like hell to get thru them all you’ll inevitably end up at the pay screen.
And that brings me to my final issue with this game. People whining about much it costs. I guess that’s not really the game’s fault. I personally haven’t spent a dime. Many people whine about that. My bankroll rarely hits $100million and it only stays for a little. They have free chips you get daily and that will keep you going. If you play reckless, you’ll go broke quick. <—-That may be the one real life quality that this app has..FgkkodssuuVersion: 6.11.0
Slow downWhy! Why! Why is Poker going the way of “Speed Racer”? I can’t play very well at your “normal speed” and I have no chance of ever participating in what you call “fast” mode. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I play on my phone. It takes me time to notice which opponent bet, did he go All In or not, size my bet, find the series of keystrokes I need to make, and then perform my play accurately. On WSOP I’m constantly “Timing Out”. Often when I have the best hand. (Thank you for displaying the winning hand in the comments.) I’ve tried Zynga Poker and had too many technical issues. I’ve tried “Pay to Play” sites but most have such few players that a few a## holes ruin the experience. I no longer am able to work so even playing sites like ClubWPT is a challenge while trying to figure out how to navigate their site. Isn’t it possible to give me some help? At least in live games with time limits you get extension tokens. Why can’t you add them to your features? I admit that I’m not as good of a poker player as I was 30 or 40 years ago. MS has robbed me of my mental and physical acuity, but your site doesn’t have to place obstacles in the way of my enjoyment of the game I’ve loved for nearly 50 years..Al with MVersion: 8.16.1
My opinion!I just finished reading the review from user “Cdub013” without the quotes that was posted on (May 15). And, I have to say that the review was spot on. This game as well as many other games (aka. App’s) that someone or group created for you to download on your phone is designed for you to lose. The ultimate objective in the creation and design of these games is to gain financial revenue in the end. The designer or designers have implemented various ways of fulfilling that goal. Such examples are free tokens when you sign-up, when you invite friends to join, etc. . . These gifts are not given out of love, they are given for one single purpose. That purpose being to make you desire more. Then they utilize very subtle methods of regaining all of their free gifts back in hopes that the initial gifts were enough to arouse your interest and have you craving for more. I often think of them as white collar drug dealers. There tactics are very similar in kind. Casino’s are designed in very much the same way that I have illustrated here today. They would not exist if the odds were equal for both parties involved. But, I will refrain from venturing to far down that road today.
In conclusion, if you are seeking a life like experience; this game will not disappoint you. Mind exit, stage left..Scales of LibraVersion: 5.11.0
Don’t ever buy chipsOnce I started buying chips, I started losing more. I assume this is so I would have to buy more chips. I have stopped buying chips from this app because they repeatedly and consistently billed me for chips that I never attempted to purchase and definitely never received. They claim innocence in all things but I’m sure just writing this review, I will start losing even more. Also, when you advance to a higher level you have to pay more chips to play games such as roulette poker. My plan is to go back on down to the Queen‘s club had a lot more fun there, And never had to buy chips to be able to play and complete my missions. I am currently refuting 12 purchases in two weeks from this app. I would recommend it as a fun app but the higher level you get, the harder it is to win and you practically have to buy chips to be able to play. Don’t ever start buying chips from this app. I’m sure they will write a reply to my review, “we are sorry you feel this way, but we assure you that we have never incorrectly billed, this is an issue with Apple AppStore.” WSOP says it is AppStore, and AppStore says it is WSOP. I had to remove my credit card as my payment source on my phone and get a new credit card account because of this issue. They will deny it, but trust me, it happened..ScammedalotVersion: 6.5.1
Is it Really Random??UPDATE: Thanks to the developers for responding, but I asked about why you get penalized for aggression, and they responded with something about tipping?? Which, as long no as they mention it, take note everyone, tipping does absolutely NOTHING in the game, and is a waste of your chips. BTW, the ratio of when I shove with the better hand and lose on the river (or to a runner runner to the river even) that I mention below is up to about 17:3, which is nowhere near what the probability says it should be. Why is that? That was the original question.
I know the developers check in here every so often. Maybe they can explain why you get penalized for aggression. It’s almost as if the app “penalizes” you for shoving and they want to curtail that for some reason (to avoid the games being a shove-fest, perhaps?). By the time I started keeping track, when I shove with a better hand, I lose on the river (or even a runner runner to the river) in a ratio of about 11:1. I’ve been playing poker (all variations) for a long time, with well over a million hands played, and those stats are way out of whack from what the probability says they should be. Hopefully the developers can explain, but in the meantime, I can update that ratio as I gather more data..Brassman13Version: 5.12.0
Please DO NOT spend your real money on this appTotally unrealistic poker play so please don’t waste your money on the WSOP app = play enough hands and you’ll easily recognize that the app’s algorithm is skewed towards Visa players that fork over real money to play the WSOP app. You can witness the wild betting styles as well as scrolling through a player’s stats(pre-flop folds in the 20% and under range, total number of hands played, huge chip stacks with history of playing mostly low stake tables, raise frequency, no tournament money/win history) and quickly surmise who is purchasing chips through the WSOP app. I don’t cares about the canned “developers response” with assurances towards the WSOP app’s legitimacy and fair play = I’ve personally witnessed way too many statistically boosted Visa players have improbable and continued success all the while playing abysmal hands(that no one would actually play in a real-life poker scenario outside small/big blinds) ultimately lead to outlandishly bad beats against higher quality hands from statistically superior players to no firmly believe app is rigged for the pay-to-play(win) crowd. Also, I would love to see the developer argue the legitimacy of the in-app challenges and explain the odds involved towards achieving success or actually completing..WSOPapp=grifterVersion: 9.7.1
Thank youI know I can be a pain and I wanted to apologize for being a pain. I just really enjoy the game and I truly hate when I lose sooooo many games in a row without ever a win. Just very passionate for the game. And I know I do send messages but it’s only out of love I promise. Thank you for putting up with me venting a lot. I know your job is not easy. Much respect to you all. Thank you for all you do and the help you give me. Much respect. Thank you all. I have sent this message before but I will add to it. Just again want to say thank you for putting up with me. I know I can be a pain but I’m just very passionate of the game. But I know your job is not easy for a pain like me. Did have a question. Yesterday I was in Macau and I won, but just when I won it glitched which happens all the time for some reason? But when I came back on I was in a totally different game that I never ever play? And it took 250 million dollars from my ante? I got out of the game sooooo quickly but it took 250 million? Is it possible I can get maybe a couple buy-ins for Macau?

Rigged... Mathematically provenHey developers, how's my lack of money going for you? DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME! It is a lie. They want you to bet big, so you lose and spend more money. Do you know how many times I have lost from a straight flush? Too many times to count. Probability proves that can't happen. You get a flush, they get a 4 of a kind. You get four of a kind, they get straight flush. I have never seen so many straight flushes in my life... and in three days. This game used to be cool, until they changed the algorithms to rig games. Ask yourself this, how many times have you bet lots and never even got a decent hand, YET, as soon as you don't bet, you would have had a four of a kind, flush, etc? The cards that come out later are based on the prior cards (rigged)? Why? Because this encourages you to spend more. This is on purpose. No thanks! Join me and boycott this company! Just think about the probability and it will speak for itself!
UPDATE:
Came back after a year or two. This game is way lamer than it ever was. Only rooms with huge bets? Every round everyone goes all in. This has clearly become only about spending money. Played 5 minutes and didn’t spend a penny. I’ll check back in another year or two......Come on, man!!!Version: 8.11.1
CrashingBeen enjoying this app for years. Just recently the app started crashing doing random things in the app. It would crash when I would scroll through tournament selections, starting a game and even during a game. Every time it would crash during a game, I would lose my buy-in or would have lost a good portion of my playing chips because the game would continue even if the app crashed. Please address and fix.
My review didn’t send. I played another two tournaments and it crashed about 4 times. Worse was it crashed after I won both. When restarted, it brought my back to the table and when I tried to exit to the lobby it said I would lose any money I put in. Did not allow me to collect my winnings. On top of that, when after reading the warning when attempting to go to the lobby, it crashed yet again. Very bad experience for a game I’ve loved and played for years.
Update: received an email message give me the points to reach out and request help. Unfortunately, I did this the same day of my original review and multiple prior to the review and after the review.

Unfair practicesMultiple times with the bonus been for points not once was over 300,000 points. 15+ times in row. I don’t even know why show higher values you won’t ever receive them after you have had the program for while. No matter what I always received the lowest amount even tho there was only one pie slice with that amount. While at the same time shoved down my throat that I could keep purchasing points. The algorithm completely off. If you like unfair practices please Send your money to them even though it is always programmed in their favor to purchase more points. If this game seemed fair and was on the up and up I would purchase points just to give business.
I stopped playing because even with the Texas Holdem games the algorithm is off. Once you get to certain point amount you will suddenly lose all the points you built up even if you are the best skilled player. It will be days and days just even hit a pair. I have seen the same complaint on multiple reviews. Someone else will always the higher hand, most times they will get the perfect draw card not once but 15+ times even if was .099% in their favor. Happen not once but over and over again.

More like bingo than no limitWords of advice, do not buy anything off this app you will lose all you buy very quickly to bs hands flop a set and bet hard fool stays in with a 69 and catches a straight on the river. First hand after buying a $4.99 bonus wheel spin that won me 24 million and lost 28million next hand. Hands are predetermined before cards are even dealt. Then out of now where you will continue to lose chips very quickly like over 75% of you 500million stack and when I asked them how this was possible in less than 12 hrs of play and was told I was on a down swing and my luck would soon change. Hahaha rigged. Way to many clowns going all in with crap cards and win on the river 75% of the time. Went 45 mins yesterday with out even a close to winning hand, right after I won 250k on the bonus wheel. Or should I say donation to other players wheel. App has good features and quick play but some players and the unrealistic odds of winning hands is enough to rate poorly. Glad I have not had any billing issues like some have stated below. Play this app like a drunken night of buddy poker and you will be fine, try to play serious and you will loose your mind over the crap that goes down..Tatman77Version: 5.11.0
Far from randomIt's not random and they know it. Poker is a game of odds and this games odds are unbelievable. I have more fun now predicting the hands outcome when I see my hole cards. When I’m dealt pocket kings the flop has been the exact same for the last 11 time the flop has been Ace Jack Three . I also lose 96% of the time when I flop top two pair. I’ve flopped ace hi flushes and ace hi straights so many times with the same outcome{I lose}. I lost to a full house when there wasn’t even a pair on the flop. One thing you may notice is when you fold before the flop when it’s in that cycle you will get some of the best starting hands. I was dealt 9 pocket pairs in a row and I folded every time. I also believe that not only is it far from random but I think they are able to put you at a table that is there just to take your chips. I say this because when I first started playing you would see people chat during hands and not the preset comments. Now the tables I end up at the players have never answered a question or comment I’ve made. Just look at the flops, the last few weeks I’ve played 99% of the time you will see 3 to a straight ...3 suited cards or a pair and just the last few nights I played the flop had a pair on the board on average of 13 out of 15 hands..So cal bobVersion: 5.10.0
NO, YOU CANNOT PLAY LIVE W/ FRIENDSThis is awfully irritating as I’m trying to stay connected and play with my boyfriend who is currently overseas. We both downloaded the app to my suggestion as I had connected and played in the past with other favored players in the app... well it seems that there is false advertising as you can’t find your friends (as concluded through their help site) UNLESS you sign up through Facebook and I am nowhere close to contemplating creating a profile just for this purpose. I wouldn’t say anything if the ad says specifically “connect through FB to play live with friends!”, but it doesn’t, so BIG UGH. I’m still playing and hopefully my bf and I find each other on a table to connect, but until then, I’m disappointed.
UPDATE: After reading some of the reviews, I reflected on my experience and have to agree that the paying players are certainly favored. I constantly delete and restart my game after periods of binge playing, and while my experience with this game allows me to make money and pass levels fast, as soon as I start challenging others, my chances of winning dwindle and I find myself folding more after a few days of play than when I first started.

Good but bad gameI started playing this game a while ago, I believe when it was owned by EA. I really liked it. I never payed for anything and it seemed like the game was fair. I’m nowhere near the best player out there but I managed to win a lot of tournaments. Now after the game got sold, I feel like I keep getting bad cards most of the time. I got to Tokyo Tournament and can’t get past the second part of it. Other people constantly get good cards. Constantly. My guess is they use real money to pay for in game purchases and the game favors them. How would you feel when it’s you vs someone else at the end of the second tournament, 1 on 1, and they constantly get winning cards? You run out of money and have to start over by first trying to win the first part of the tournament. The gameplay is completely rigged and feel unnatural, when you (or in this case me) get bad cards I would say 75% of the time I play this game. I constantly see one or two people constantly getting good cards. Out of 9 people. Great game design and very easy to get free money, unlike before when we had to watch sponsored videos. But rigged gameplay ruined this game for me. I literally went from winning most of the time, to losing most of the time, after the game changed owners. I rate it 1/5..Mr. Nick 158853278Version: 5.9.0
Used to be fun…But not any longer. I downloaded this game a while back and enjoyed it on a regular basis. Friendly players, etc… but lately, more often than not, it has turned a game of “ Table Terrorism “ meaning random players will come in and just keep raising the bets to astronomical amounts that many others just can’t play with enjoyment. You either call these constant raisers and hope to win or you loose then find no enjoyment anymore. Then you have the players that just want to write all about how awful of a person you are, etc… antagonists that have nothing else better to do. Yes, they have a “ judge” button where you can “ REPORT” their actions, but….as always…nothing gets done. It’s my sincere belief the judge button is just a button. So, if you want to play a great game of Texas hold ‘em or another game offered on this site, I’d recommend you look / play elsewhere. On this app, what used to be fun is now just a hope of getting a good table with good people. More often than not, you’ll be at a table with a “ table terrorists “. **I WAS IN NO WAY PAYED OR COMPENSATED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM FOR THIS REVIEW **. This review is an honest and personal account of this player’s experiences..Classic movieholic.Version: 8.17.2
All the ads make it less fun to playI get it, ads make money. But not every ad is a 3rd party ad, or an internal ad trying to get you to pay money, but most of the time it’s ads for different types of game plays. It’s annoying every time I open the app I have to shuffle through half a dozen ads just to play my game, and then, if you go back to the home screen from a table, you have to shuffle through the same ads you just shuffled through, oh and the things they’re shoving in your face is already in front of you that can’t be missed; it takes the fun out of the game.
Also, as far as game play goes, it seems at times things are fixed against you. Meaning, if you have a lot of chips/buy chips, you do well, for a while. Then when you start to lose chips, you lose most if not all, which kinda forces you to buy chips or wait a few days just to play at a lesser table, then start all over again. Very similar to how casinos work, they allow you to win to keep you hooked, then next thing you know you’re broke, forcing you to sell your car and house just to keep it up.
I love poker, just not loving WSOP app. I’m going to seek out other poker apps that I can live with..TeebsyboneVersion: 6.13.5
Game Structure and odds - Got Pavlov and Skinner?Game developers took a page right out of Pavlov’s operant book and supercharged it with some Skinner work around intermittent reinforcement design techniques and as if that isn’t enough, they possibly combined it with some version of a game developer tool known as “dynamic game balancing” which basically adjusts a players game experience based on how well or poorly they are doing/performing which is effecting the odds to create this horrible gameplay experience. Please feel free google the monetization mechanics above that I feel I experienced playing this game…..I believe they do this by always mandating/assigning your seat and table spot among other things like the club structure etc. This game and the mechanics to induce players to spend real money through manipulative psychology seems very unfair. The cards actually may be dealt fairly but the game structure not structured fairly at all. Also, all the positive reviews? Those are also induced by an opportunistic pop up ad after a player wins big to give the game a review right after the big win when a player is most likely to give it 5 stars…… Oh and any developer response to this review and opinion of the game…..”yawn…….your app is already deleted”.Shar22114Version: 8.17.2
I hate this gameThis game is rigged . this game.Marc8SchaeferVersion: 2.16.2
Unstable... stillBUYER BEWARE !!!
So, I guess they don't like people giving bad reviews. Crashes still happening to me and many others Is see, but now the game has ceased to recognize credentials, so it is start all over as new player at 0 progress and lose everything again. Totally done with this nonsense.
... still no support and $150 mill totally wiped out due to crashes confiscating stake. Total waste of time and money, which is a shame because it can be a fun game. Seems I am not alone... several others have the exact same issue. Buyer Beware.
Now have lost over 100 million due to constant crashes. Bot response here says to contact support, but no response there. Fun game to play, just BEWARE of spending any real money. Originally only lost over 40 million due to game repeatedly crashin.Hal_7ntVersion: 7.1.2

Waste of timePop ups are not the only way to advise customers of your promotions. How about adding a tab in game labeled promos. I know what a radical concept right. I miss the old app, this new one is not good at all. And no I will no increase my stars for your crusty app..Pokerguy74638Version: 7.2.0
