I believe the game is rigged so that you can never really make any meaningful points unless you purchase something. Is it a coincidence that whenever I win a big pot or collect money from some of the side games that are going on that I usually give it all back within 15 minutes after being set up for a bad beat. They say the game is legit, but I find that hard to believe after this much time playing my experience show that whenever you bring in a big score you usually lose it a few minutes later. ### 1/5 — Don’t play *2026-07-28, version V2.3.3* You get money fair and square but when the time comes for bonuses they don’t allow it 89 million coins spent and I only get 500k back seams like a scam don’t download ### 1/5 — BOT players *2026-07-27, version V2.3.3* They talk about algorithm being fair but you are still playing against bots. App does not allow you to accumulate chips to reach next level without buying chip packages. If you really get on a run the cards go cold and you lose chips on hands that you shouldn’t lose bad beats are around every corner. ### 1/5 — Nonsense *2026-07-27, version V2.3.3* Right now I have 81,000 hands under my belt and, what I can tell you, based on my experience playing Texas Hold ‘em here and elsewhere, is that this game is absolutely rigged! You’ll can write to them about this issue and you’ll get some BS answer from a bot about the site’s integrity. Or you can hear from ppl, like me, who have experience. And they are constantly trying to sell you stuff. Very disappointing! ### 1/5 — Misleading app charges bad customer service *2026-07-25, version V2.3.3* Do not buy any packages. You do not get what you pay for and customer service just says oh well! I now have to dispute charge with my credit agency ### 1/5 — Stop restoring my chip count at the end of each hand *2026-07-21, version V2.3.3* What happened? I don’t want my chips restored at the end of each hand if I play with 50 and lose, I wanted to stay at whatever I’ve lost. Ether ### 4/5 — Please sort problem ! *2026-07-12, version V2.3.3* Great poker app 👌 Had this for a few years now. It’s been fun playing and there is always some kind of mini game to play and always a few extra things to do or collect, Including collecting the cards to get sets to get extra money 💰 BUT recently I can’t see the cards !! There is always a loading sign on every card and can’t see the pictures !! Please sort out 🙏 ### 4/5 — Good *2026-07-03, version V 1.4.4* Fun ### 1/5 — Play *2026-07-03, version V2.3.3* You want me to play in the over $10,000 or higher. But yet you won’t give me cards that would justify that. So NO. What a STUPID request. Never get good cards and want to play higher stakes. Are you HIGH? Nononono you don’t get to tell me where should play. That’s my decision. Don’t do it. Just another rigged poker app it plays its favorites and favorites only.3/23/26 still playing your favorites I see. What shame. Wish you would sell the app to someone who knows what the hell they’re doing. ******* try to to play but to wait and wait for game to come up. If you have nothing but time on your side, go there and wait and wait and wait and wait.tttt as usual you have a hook up problem. Not a bad game but app owners PLAY A LOT FAVORITES. So get used to losing a lot of hands. ##### way too many favorite playing. How did you get a license to run an app the way you do?##### you have a problem hooking up, fix it****** looks like you have a lot of problems with your APP. Maybe SELL it. ##### let me save you people who never played this game before a lot of wasted time. He will never win at this game unless you pay first if you don’t pay, you don’t play. It will not want to play because you never win and save your time save your money stay away from this game. ### 1/5 — Sign in screen *2026-06-22, version V2.3.2* I cannot get past it, I don’t understand why. ### 1/5 — 100% fixed *2026-06-20, version V2.3.2* Listen, this is a Chinese registered company and it’s not regulated in any way. It’s 100% designed to TAKE YOUR MONEY. The game has no random generator. It’s clearly fixed and the algorithm is designed for every player to lose in the end. Every single thing about the game is designed to separate the player from their money. Apple should investigate this criminal company. DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND DO NOT GIVE THEM A PENNY OF YOUR MONEY!!! Straight up criminal enterprise. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CHINESE, COMMUNIST, CHEATING BUSINESS. Apple, you should remove this application immediately from your App Store. ### 2/5 — I agree with the others *2026-06-15, version V2.3.2* This is rigged. And you can’t pause to go to the bathroom. It’s not that good ### 1/5 — I’m done *2026-06-13, version V2.3.2* I’ve played this game now for years. I’ve amassed over 400 million in winnings and then in the past few months I’ve lost nearly all. I can’t help but think this game is manipulated so that you win, then lose to try and force you to “buy” chips. What was a game I enjoyed playing daily I m giving up on. ### 1/5 — RIP off *2026-06-13, version V2.3.2* Do not play it’s a total con and rip off who in their right mind would pay £100 for a billion fake chips go play at real tables and win real money ### 1/5 — What a fkn scam !!! *2026-06-07, version V2.3.2* Stay well away from this app. They’re a pack of thieving c****. You have a straight , the bot get a straight flush. You have full house the bot gets a higher full house and a thousand other hands to steal your chips. Recently gave players chips as ‘compensation’ after being caught stealing chips whenever they switched tables ### 1/5 — Not at all like the ad *2026-06-01, version V2.3.1* The gameplay is over-designed and over-complicated. Just way too much. Worst part, the ad shows nicely animated characters and looks fun. This is not that! Not at all. Trickery and garbage. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wants your money *2026-08-23, version V 2.3.4* Game is rigged. Lost to 4 of kind to my full house more than 4 times in under an hour. Random play does not give that many 4 of a kind in ONE SITTING. Keep your money. ### 1/5 — Fake game *2026-08-20, version V 2.3.4* Fake game if u make inapp purchase you just lose it all with not realistic algorithm 1000 won’t recommend ### 1/5 — Je déconseille pour les sensible émotionnels *2026-08-16* Je suis un gros joueur IRL, mais je n’ai jamais autant pris de bad bit sur la river, ou sur des tapis prêt flop… bizarrement dans un jeu où on a la possibilité d’acheter de l’argent du jeu avec son propre argent, ce qui pour ma part n’arrivera jamais… je désinstalle ce jeu immédiatement **Developer response:** Bonjour, nous sommes désolés que votre expérience ait été aussi frustrante.

Merci d’avoir partagé votre ressenti avec nous. ### 1/5 — Fake and all bots *2026-08-15, version V 2.3.4* Full of fake bots and hands that you keep losing for all hour and have you buy chips ### 1/5 — Worst cheating site *2026-08-13* Disgusting。This is a disgusting poker site. So many cheaters with over 30 % won rate, which is unrealistic in practice. **Developer response:** Dear Player, sorry for the inconvenience it caused. Manipulating cards would be categorically against that policy.

Thank you for the support. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-13, version V 2.3.4* This game is a scam. You’ll get lots of great hands in the beginning but once you hit a certain level you’ll lose consistently unless you buy chips. Don’t bother ### 1/5 — Rigged Bot Play *2026-08-09, version V2.3.3* Hands are rigged. You play against bots who call every bet. Not fun, not realistic. Tons of runner runner suck outs too. ### 1/5 — Dull, tedious, and slow *2026-08-07, version V2.3.3* Don’t download. It’s a really, really poor version of a great game. ### 1/5 — fake *2026-08-06, version V2.3.3* it’s a really fake game it just makes you spend more money and if you don’t it will gonna make you lose everything you have. sometimes it’s as bad as you don’t get anything for 15 mins like you have to keep folding and that one hands you get someone else has more stronger hands PLEASE DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME ### 1/5 — No *2026-07-31, version V2.3.3* I was looking for a semi-realistic poker app. I downloaded this app and started to play. I got 5 flushes in my first 9 hands. I deleted the app immediately after. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — $$$ *2026-08-12, version V 2.3.4* How do you actually spend gems in the game? ### 5/5 — Holden *2026-06-25, version V2.3.2* How can I get the storm chopper ?? ### 5/5 — Timing Out *2026-06-16, version V2.3.2* Let me start by saying I love this game. It’s the best Texas HOLD’EM game I have found. The only thing that irritates me is when I am trying to adjust the bet to where I want and it folds my hand. I have lost lots of money that way. I understand that if you aren’t doing anything for it to fold but it should give you longer when you are using the slide bar. Or let the person betting to see color change or something to warn them. ### 5/5 — Timing Out *2026-05-17, version V2.3.1* Let me start by saying I love this game.

I have found that if you win too many hands because you’re a good poker player they put you in some sort of a box where suddenly you can’t win a damn thing. Idiots are betting tens of millions of dollars with nothing and are winning against good hands over and over again. I think these people are actually part of the machine. I understand the whole purpose is to sell you chips so if you win a lot of chips, they want them back. Prove me wrong! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-20* Best ### 5/5 — Service specialist *2026-01-27, version V2.2.7* Helped me greatly ### 5/5 — Gamble *2025-12-06, version V2.2.5* Great game ### 5/5 — Holder or FOLD’EM: Texas Poker *2025-11-29, version V2.2.5* Fantastic --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
