    I’ve been a Zynga poker player for over a decade. Have over 30 trillion in chips and over 350 buddies. I’ve watched this game decline into a big mess of non stop bots, bullies, cheaters with Zynga claiming they do something….they do not. Our study showed after over 50 reports on a single obvious bot- got zero response. We repeated this with 25 suspected bots, abusive bully bingo non stop all in, hackers, etc. and still not a single abusive player real or not, was ejected. The rare hands now showing up as commonplace, the stingy bonuses that cost way more to get than they pay out, the chip rake on every hand means you lose even when you win. It’s not fun. Period. No actual poker played anywhere. It’s just a ‘game’ (which it no longer is as all is predetermined and under minded by the onslaught of AI hacking) that is non stop loss. Please, trust an authority.

    Zynga is likely to go under even with Take Two acquiring them as it’s actually gotten far worse! The amount of negative feedback and the fact it’s the same or similar issues across the board foretells what is to come. Zynga has decided free playing cheating bully players will somehow keep this game alive. Dumb. Just dumb. So you’re better even playing real money poker as it’s cheaper than playing this supposed free game of loss. Hope this helps the poker players! Shame on Zynga.

    I've been playing Farmville 3 since December of 2019 when it was first released in the US. The first few years it was very fun and not as expensive like it is now. I've earned rewards with hardly paying anything out of pocket. In 2023 they upped the price on everything! I can't even "play" this game without "$paying$." This is horrible especially for people that have limited income like myself. I was paying over $35 minimum now I can only pay $5 due to my utility increase. The pet rescue charges me $12 to unlock premium.

    Zynga needs to stop pocketing from us and start rewarding us without spending $50+ every month! I have played other farming games outside of Zynga without spending any money out of my pocket. My members are getting ready to leave because these same boring events that no likes to play, we are FORCED to play with the introduction of the game play. They need to give us an "opt out" option for these events. I don't want to leave my co-op, but I may have to if something does not change.

    The people who run the Zynga game are dishonest. They take all your points that you pay tons of money to buy and if you win a few times in a row they block you, take all your points you paid for and say reason is breaching the rule of the game. American lawmakers must stop these thieves from stealing our money. These people should go to jail. They are like bank thieves that are given the key to steal it

    Zynga puts out a good product but there are some major issues with the “randomness” of cards. The river produces big conflict and multiple good hands. Much more than you would expect. I played over 2 million hands and saw a lot of “Zynga Specials” type bad beats. The game requires you to buy trillions(!) just to keep up with the bonuses paid out. I do not feel that it is a truly fair game. Inevitably you will lose. The game is highly addictive.

    Whatever crap they created is not even close to realistic...The run-outs are either four flushes, one liner straights, double paired boards, and monotone flops consistently..In 10 min of play you will see all of these multiple times yet you can play a real live game and maybe see two of those in an 8 hr session..The game sets up disasters to happen regularly if you flop two pair and it is not top two pair throw it away, it will lose or a flopped straight you will lose to a bigger straight or flush or full house by the river.. Honestly the most unrealistic outcomes I have ever seen in poker and it will do nothing but piss you off..

    Zynga poker is scam. It is set up to take your money. There are players who have millions OF TRILLIONS chips. If you were to buy these amounts of chips with real money you would need over $100 000 of real money. These people always win and they try to sell you chips from the game. For all we know the people work at Zynga. Customer service does not take care of paying customers. Management does not even get back to you!! This is a scam!!! Do not play this game!! 100% do not recommend this game to anyone.

    I bought a coin and Elite points package in the Hit it Rich game for $399 and clearly did not get everything that was listed in the package. I contacted tech support several times and they keep saying that they checked and my account is correct when it is very apparent that I did not get all that was supposed to be in the package. So frustrating after spending so much money that they just ignore you when there was an error on their part.

    NEVER BUY CHIPS - ZYNGA CHEATS PLAYERS! Zynga Poker uses bots to take your chips. They want you to purchase more. Anyone that buys chips can kiss their money goodbye. If you like playing simply watch some phony ads (ie. TEMU) to earn chips.

    Don't play any games on Zynga because they get your personal information when you sign up, then sell your personal information to other companies. After doing this, if you do not send them money, they will let you play for a while then suspend your account and then cancel it without a good reason. A total ripoff!!!

    Thirty plus opposition straights in the last 24 hours. I believe that Zynga systematically builds large pots with pre-determined winners to increase the size of the rake. Do the math… You can’t possibly play enough hands in a day to see that many losing straights. Pay attention… It happens constantly.

    I purchased chips and as I’m playing my hand was better than somebody else’s hand and I lost 100 billion chips because there’s hackers playing this game and when you try to email, you can’t get in contact with nobody from this game. So it’s OK for them to take your money and hack you But if you want to get in contact with any customer care representative can get in contact with anybody unacceptable. I don’t think anybody should play this game because they’re easy to take your money but when it’s somebody hacking your account you get no help. Kristos **

    I have played Zynga for years. I stopped because all they did was take money from me. They would let folks win with impossible odds. If you like playing and don't mind paying-to-play, they will take all of your money and the odds of you winning will go DOWN!!! I left them during the pandemic because I spent hundreds before realizing that they were unfair almost to the point of tears. This company should be shut down. I wrote them once because I was playing and there were 4 full houses in one hand.

    I have been to Vegas, Atlantic City, NY gambling houses and have NEVER seen that. They set you up so that when you think you have an obvious win, you lose. There is always a higher straight, higher flush and, even a higher full house!!! If you buy chips, their system will put you at a table to take all that you just purchased. When all of the chips I purchased are gone, so am I. Go to hades Zynga with your crazy odds of winning.

    So frustrating. I’d been playing Zynga poker for about 14 years already. I have about 100 billion chips with me with good statistics tied to myself. All of the sudden everything is gone and I’m unable to log in via my Facebook account. They tried to help but we are just going in circle as they are asking the same info over and over, they promised to fix the issue as they see my account being still active but I don’t see any improvements. With all these, I lost my trust with Zynga. I find this as an indirect way of robbing people. They will make you spend money and all of the sudden you no longer have access to your own account regardless how long you kept it. I recommend everyone to stay away with this company. I also want bring up that Zynga poker could have bots that play along with other real people and robbing these people’s hard-earned chips. This company is corrupt!

    I have played Zynga poker for over 15 years, since the game started up. The most annoying thing about this game is that there are thousands of people selling chips illegally who don't even play the game, sending you buddy requests every few minutes. Every single one has a name with "Do you want buy chips 1T 5T 100T.". Zynga does nothing to remove them because they are Zynga employees. No one who plays the game sends buddy requests. Next, the cards are not random. You will get hole pairs 2-3X more often than the law of averages would suggest, and it is not unusual to get five hole pairs in a row or five people have hole pairs in the same hand. You can always tell when someone has a hole pair because they always go all-in pre-flop.

    Since the beginning, I have noticed something very unusual: whenever I have a 4, 5, or 9 in the pocket, the other two show up eventually. It is true about ~95% of the time. I count on that outcome and I know I cannot win. (Note: I am a mathematician and these types of things really jump out at me.) Zynga puts countless things in the game that work against you psychologically. Little things that exist just to screw with you. For example, every time you log in to the game the default tables are the highest you can afford so you go in with all your chips. That's just the worst thing you can do. So you have to change it every time. When you set the number of chips you want, the slider is one pixel thick, so if you're not stacking the maximum, it takes an eternity to move it and change it to your preferred amount, and by that time someone else is in your seat.

    Rigged 4 Betting Enticement IMPOSSIBLE Hands. Let's start with some facts...60+ years of Poker & 40+ years in computers...This game is one of the most rigged operations I have ever seen. Virtually IMPOSSIBLE hands in play. Community Full Houses, Flushes, Str8 Flushes, 4 of a Kinds, and more. Totally infested with bots, fraudulent chip sellers and many more. Scam players with totally impossible statistics...I.E. $27T in bank, biggest win of $80T and has only played 300 hands and only won 60 hands, WITH a Royal Flush as High hand!!

    I'll give ONE example of just ONE of the hands I have got scammed on....AA in the hole, A2K on the flop, K on the Turn....I'm sitting on a AAAKK facing ONE!! 2, betting like a fool and this yahoo is matching and raising me...Over $2T in the pot and the river is another 2!! Go in for another TRILLION facing 2 2's with a AAAKK FH and guess what..this joker is sitting on a pair of 2's!!! THIS IS JUST ONE of HUNDREDS!! of examples of this kind of hand that I have lost TRILLIONS & TRILLIONS & TRILLIONS on!! The ONLY ONE card that can beat me just MIRACULOUSLY APPEARS!! And I've watched the exact same scenario unfold for countless other players! And these jokers just happen to pop in for 4 or 5 hands and follow the same betting pattern REPEATEDLY!!

    They claim their RNG (Random Number Generator) is "fair and rated by a gaming organization"...Well...I've written RNG's in DOS/IBM360 Assembler language over 40 years ago...it's almost impossible to do properly. One thing I have observed CONSISTENTLY is the occurrence of EVEN numbered cards that always show up...2-4-6-8-10's. I have had that very combination of 2-4-6-8-10 between my hole cards and/or community cards an IMPOSSIBLY HIGH number of times...I have also observed an absolute opposite amount of occurrences of odd numbered cards...-3-5-7-9's. This gets back to the way RNG's work and why it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to build a TRUE RNG!!! This game is NOT fair!!

    Their VIP scam is also a joke. I have been told to let my VIP Rep know about purchases so they can do all this miraculous service for me and don't get squat!! They say they can only "match" chip purchases and not Gold purchases....EXCUSE ME??? CASH IS CASH IS CASH!! You're selling a nebulous product that has NO intrinsic value but because I don't buy a certain category of their product, I don't get ANYTHING!!

    This is possibly the biggest fraudulent game I have ever seen....and I've seen just about all of them after 40+ years....A class action lawsuit needs to be filed with INDEPENDENT reviewer's going into the nuts and bolts of their gaming code, review of all their billings, how many fake player accounts there are, how many illegal chip sellers there are, and show what a scam this is.

    Ever since Zynga took over in Golf Rival online gaming has gotten so greedy with their money. The game manipulates the player right in the beginning. It's known as a "camping" game. It says nothing about that in its review. People advance so far and get frustrated at low clubs being extremely unfairly matched. So the $ you did put into it to get to higher levels is replaced with making a new account to build up your clubs in low levels. Any game you want to get to higher levels. Nowhere in its review you're told to stay at low levels and build your clubs. So the $ starts over.

    Anytime in challenges or Kingdom you're always unfairly matched pushing you to purchase better balls just to barely compete. Even then it's really hard. Every single player knows ever since Zynga took over the game sees any change that's made is about generating income for them. Before they took over it was about providing fun and fairness to the player. Not anymore. Just a complete scam. Every single game Zynga takes over or makes it always fails due to their greediness of money and plays like they benefit the player too. They do some reviews and asks players what they want in the game but they're only dismissed unless it provides a huge revenue for them. The reason how I know it's how everybody thinks is by private FB sites for GR. Golf Rival has absolutely no affiliation. And separate YT videos that explains how the game will benefit the player. GR does no mention of this in hopes you spend money and do it all over again.

    After years of playing Zynga Poker, I accumulated over $225 billion in chips. I was able to do so despite the frequent bots who seemed to always know my hand and magically pull the winning card on the river. I also endured frequent harassment by ** shysters trying to sell me ill gotten chips at a discount. After all this, Zynga had the nerve to freeze my account and confiscate all my 225 billion chips, 125,000 in gold, 50,000 tickets, as well as my watch tokens that were over half way toward earning a 360 billion watch payment. They falsely claimed that I violated their terms and conditions and would not even consider the possibility that they were wrong. Case closed, they stole from me years of hard earned assets.
