Weekly digest of player sentiment across the App Store, Google Play, Reddit and the PokerStars Discord community — covering PokerStars and five direct competitors.
“Avoid this, it's a very very buggy app which crashes frequently, is outdated, you get kicked out and lose your hands (both on app and website). The interface is bad. The bugs are countless, you can't claim rewards (bugged, screen freezes).”
“Keep saying deposit and get +$20 or $40, I even get email saying redeem your awards just sign in and is literally taking me back to deposit more money in. What a fckn scam that it.”
“The RNG on this app is bizarre to say the least.. so bizarre and for such a long period of time that it's beyond suspicious. Usernames are always very strange compared to those on other pokersites - suggests bots to me.”
“bad beats all the time which seems to be supporting the rubbish players and giving it them on the river all the bloody time. isit bots? Most probably, can't trust no online site, never won anything with this site due to idiot people/bots calling with 2/3 against AA and hitting four of a kind or a straight on the river.”
“Time to deposit - instant Time to withdraw - Still waiting On my 5th day after a withdrawal and still in a process , if your looking for fast withdrawals don't use 888 , I'm not desperate for the money but compared to other company's that take longest a couple of hours these guys are still in the Stone Age with there withdrawal process .”
“Customer support trying to find them is like being in a maze. Bloddy awful”
“When you get knocked out on the App….you don't even see the hand that knocked you out..you just get booted from the game and sent back to lobby. Ridiculous. Basic poker functionality - you see the hand that knocks you out before being booted from the game.”
“The number of times you get beaten on the river with a huge long shot is outrageous. Statistically on this site you are definitely much better off not having the best hand after the flop.”
“they make it so unnecessarily hard that I'm not sure if it's even possible”
“In a blatant effort to encourage longer play durations, they have forced a one handed portrait layout with apparently no option of switching back to landscape.”
“the portrait only view is a pain and needs binning. Would rather play PP rather than stars any day of the week and if PP could make the mobile app more detailed it would easily be the best poker app out there”
“Many times there happen glitches or connection problems, even though I have a stabil internet connection!”
“The freerolls are absolutely brilliant! Please keep them! I've final tabled in a few and won a few $ which I've been able to build up to a decent amount - and the chance to experience and practice playing deep in a tournament has been invaluable.”
“Nothing on the app functions as it should... The app crashes and lags all the time and has done this to me before whilst in a tournament and whilst my internet connection was stable.”
“888 POKER is a great platform for both beginners & pro's it has the best start-up package for 1st timers + pretend money in your account so you can practice all the different games & tournaments also there are regular free games you can enter with cash prizes & loads of options for beginners like blast their are only 3 players at the table and the games are just a few minutes long minimum buy in is 10p for blast.”
“I've joined and I've not received the bonus, typical of a lot of sites these days they've made it super hard to contact anyone to get it resolved.”
“I have been playing on 888 for many years now. They have good structures for there tournaments which I love to play with good starting stacks. Also when asked for feed back I suggested they should introduce bounty games which they did & now have gone 1 step further & introduced the Mystery Bounty games which adds even more interest for players & recreational players can pick up big scores when hitting 1 of the higher paid bounty's.”
“The app is stable which is the main thing if you're dedicating a few hours to a poker tourney. It works. It's one of the least flaky out there and the game and table options within it should be enough to keep anyone happy.”
“It's a big scam , I have withdrawal from my account and 12 days after I still haven't received my money.”
“when you message support asking for help, you might as well be talking to yourself. It's just a bunch of people who barely speak English and have the most minimal IT skills known to man”
“Full bots and lunatics that amazing beat Mathematics”
“Never get freebie's even the 'spin of the day' is absolutely dismal.”
“Account was frozen after a few hours of play, standard security check apparently... it's been nearly a week, I have supplied the relevant documents but am getting no response.”
“I find the games on Poker Stars fill up much quicker than other sites / apps. Can always get a game and the app is reliable. Great product 👍”
“How many times will someone get a river card with 2 outs left???? Apparently a lot in this dumb game”
“Faltan varias estadísticas como las faltas cometidas y recibidas o paradas del portero.”
“Por el resto bien”
“Too many bots, under all flags, not enough wins. Totally ruined by innumerable cheating multiaccounters with zero oversight”
“Promised matched deposit and it never happened, this app is scam!”
“An algorithmic abomination. Nuff said.”
“Banging game pays well and pays the above”
“So many times I got timed out in the middle of a hand. Don't tell me that my internet connection is the culprit; I have the best internet package, all my tvs, ipad, ipone apps work flawlessly except this shameful wpt app.”
“It's boring. Nothing ever connects. Weird vibes at tables no action at all just a. Waste of time and money”
“There are tournaments 24/7 7 days a week with real money payouts. No delay in receiving your Winnings.”
“Seems pretty seamless to navigate and is bug free as far as I can tell.”
“poker first , amusing graphics, endless giveways no problem. Great work wpt team”
“ClubWPT streams main tournament events and poker pro Tony DUNST, VINCE Van Patton, LYNN Gilmartin hosts the events while playing as well.”
“Wpt has a lot of money this is just a business taking your money wasting your time.”
