I would vote zero. I actually had an opponent named 'administrator.' Their time had run out...but they held the timer to make it look like my partners time ran out. So, WE lost when in actuality they lost. I have been going back and video recording games. I recently recorded a game with a person who was cheating and received a text message during the game from 'reidman' (I think that was the name) saying they knew who I was, and that the FBI was going to investigate me and come after me. GO ahead investigate me! They are lying and threatening us!

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.

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.

The winning team or winning player is selected by the computer before the game even starts. It is a bull$#*! site and I wouldn't play on this site again if you paid me money!

Since identifying these yankee micro penis sucking faggots as cheating filth, they've stopped me from winning a single backgammon game in a year, despite $#*!ting out more IQ every morning than their east european $#*! audience posesses in a lifetime.

Backgammon is rigged for effect, including games that I win. The only fun I have is when I'm chosen to win and try my hardest to lose. In many games, as many as a third of dice rolls are doubles. They need to get a foreigner with an IQ above a spoon to completely re do this mess

Tip for consumers:
find a site that isnt run by drunken $#*!s

I only really use this to play spades, for which the code isn't great, the number of nil bids and high bids isn't realistic, both are way to frequent. People on the site seem to have issues and give abuse for the slightest error from their partner, some do it even when just bad luck with the cards. Some very obvious cheating, people talking to each other in private messages about their hands and when reported the site admin don't care. On plus side, not crazy with adverts, no need to pay to play, simple interface that (apart from the dealing) seems to work.

Just a site of cheaters...mostly Polish who haven't a clue how to play. If you contact admin...they are rude & totally oblivious. Also never seen so many 1 bidders in my life. In real spades a 1 bid is an auto loss.

Stops games for no reason and unable to complain. Many times I play a long time then they claim something untrue and make me loose the game. Low ratings because of that. Very annoying.

Most games are truly one sided. Either you get most wild cards or you get none. Most people are quiet but there is still abuse. When people abandon, they should lose double the points as you have to wait one full minute

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.

I gave this website a pass when I knew they were letting people win over others and 'cheating'. It is a FREE site! But, when they put fake players into the game to rig it, I was done! I played against 2 people, one was called "administrator" Their time ran OUT. But, for some reason when they were about to lose their time DID NOT...ours did! Seriously? They were able to keep the clock going and make it looked like we times out. So, I created a NEW profile giving Playok ONE MORE CHANCE...And that's when I knew they were holding people back. The new profile I created and played and was doing 'ok' not red level, but, when I started doing good. My computer froze up on the screen. I could not get off the screen. I seriously think this site is not mean to have fun, I have been doing research and they are out of France (IPN address). They also only have one email to contact...no phone. This company has an ulterior motive. It is not about cards...

The worst part is the crazy play of many players, but we're working with humans, after all. Highly recommend for game players.

Playok's algorithm mostly decides the outcome of games. We've all been on both receiving ends of its whims. Sometimes it decides that you win a round and other times it makes you the designated loser. Sometimes it even decides not to intervene. These few times are when your skills actually matter. Sometimes you're the loser, but because you're a strong player, you manage to turn your apparent misfortune into a strong back game, reversing the odds of a loss. Or so you thought. Playok will correct things back near the end of the game and you'll lose in an even more spectacular and damaging way.

But why does it do this?

To keep you interested? To create the element of suspense? For the dopamine hits? To hook you to the site?

Ultimately, it just sucks. It ruins a game that is already fine on its own. It turns backgammon into something different. Now, I can't double even if I know that I have a really strong back game, because I know, based on how my opponent keeps getting the perfect roll to get out of my otherwise difficult home row, that they are being favored to win the round. I'm dominating the round, but my mission is to just minimize the damage of my inevitable loss. On the board I'm winning, but I'm not playing to win, I'm playing to minimize my upcoming loss in a game that I'm winning. Sad.

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.

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

I got blocked for cheating when I did not cheat. A random person online I played with cheated. I thought we were playing against new players because we kept winning. I tried to explain myself and ask Play Ok to examine my account for any signs of cheating. They were immediately rude. I have had losses outside of playing one night with a person online who was cheating and I didn't know. I'm an older woman and don't know much about electronics. Horrible customer service. I guess if someone cheats, all around them get blocked too. Very sad.

Tip for consumers:
You join with random players. If the random player cheats, you will get punished even if you didn't cheat. They block your IP address. Horrible customer service. They are extremely rude and don't even try to hide it.

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

After 10-15 games played today, everyone of my opponents end up with 2 to 4 times more doubles than I. And opponents are able to get out 3/3 with only one spot left, while I went 4/10 with 3 spots open, to try to come back in play. I mean I have played thousands of backgammon game in real life, where miracles happen now and then, not every game like on this website. But in this online cheating website, every game you will find suck outs and miracle dice rolls coming out 4-5 times per game. It's beyond beating the odds and beyond any form of cheating I have ever witnessed.

Terrible programming, abusive players, cheating. If your partner leaves, you get penalized. And, there is a lose cycle - Once I counted 21 games in a row that were one-sided - totally impossible to win. Then, when I just decided to start over, I was banned for 5 days for "mas registration". Horrible

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.

I can't give them half a STAR because that's all I would give them only because they are some bastards who support discrimination and racism, I'm blocked because I commented, I'm offended AND I don't have the right to reply
