There are no longer 6 people sit and gos. The have 3 people sit and goes but you cannot make as many chips Also now you have to play high stakes in order to make rewards. I still play the tournaments but some of them even though “you make the money”. You don’t even get your buy-in back. The changes to the app is disappointing. I guess not enough people are buying chips! ### 1/5 — Worst game *2025-09-01, version 32.1.3* The worst poker game stilling people’s money ### 1/5 — Obvious Cheats *2025-08-24, version 32.1.3* Don’t bother, it’s a setup and waste of time, controlled by bots and cheats ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-08-23, version 32.1.3* Worse game ever to play ### 1/5 — Fleeced *2025-07-13, version 32.1.3* My family members and myself have been around the gaming industry for over 50 years. Go Play Poker in my opinion is nothing more than a scene/scam to keep you buying “gold” to play. It certainly is not random and it seems impossible that you are playing with real players. Just a computer program to fleece you? At the very least they need better programmers so it is not so obvious. ### 1/5 — Rigged just like every other poker app *2025-07-04, version 32.1.3* Just like WSOP or any other poker app with micro-transactions. When I downloaded the app for the first time it seemed like I couldn’t lose. Every board seemed reasonable and every time I made the right play the board tended to fall statistically the way it’s supposed to. Won a bunch of coins off tournaments right away and suddenly I’m back to the oh so familiar rigged boards. Every time I hit a straight, I lose to a flush. Every time I hit a flush, I lose to a full house. Every time I get someone to put it all in against my pocket As they always get the cards they need to win. You play loose, and everyone calls every time. You play tight and you get sucked out on over and over. Game is rigged. Wouldn’t recommend. ### 1/5 — Way to many bad beats *2025-06-19, version 32.1.3* Winning in a tournament the guy has $20 in chips vers my 14.8k managed to win all in 11 times in a row. Absurd ### 1/5 — No longer works *2025-06-13, version 32.1.3* After the latest update there are issues every day trying to open the app. Very frustrating. ### 3/5 — Update is the worse *2025-06-04, version 32.1.1* What did you guys do to the tournaments with this update? No more 6 person tournaments? ### 3/5 — So many bad beats *2025-06-03, version 32.1.1* I wish I could tell you the times I have a hand dominated and my opponent hit his kicker or get two perfect cards in a row. I know they say that their algorithm works well but the site doesn’t play like live poker. ### 1/5 — Worst game *2025-05-29, version 30.1.1* The worst poker game stilling people’s money ### 1/5 — SCAM!! *2025-05-24, version 30.1.1* They let you win with impossible odds on your first free hands then kill you the rest of the time forcing you to buy coins. The odds are literally impossible. I’ve done the math and Aces three times is impossible. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — TRASH *2026-07-16, version 35.1.3* PURE TRASH ### 1/5 — Wants your $ *2026-07-03, version 35.1.3* This, like every other poker game, will allow you to win to a limit. Then it will make the smart player lose every time. You can calculate it every time on the river. It will give the reckless player the one in 52 card they need every time. Just wants you to buy coins, just go find a local place to play. You’ll get a more realistic experience ### 1/5 — Awful UI *2026-05-18, version 33.1.1* It’s way too easy to try and pick a bet size and end up inadvertently insta-surrendering and sitting out the hand. The sound effects are stupid. The “missions” are bland and simple. Just blecch. PokerGo, do better ### 1/5 — Unrealistic *2026-05-02, version 33.1.1* On multiple occasions, playing on the same table with the same players, I have received the same hand with the same player more than 3 times. Not sure of the odds, but definitely not realistic. There are many other instances of cards being dealt in unrealistic situations. ### 1/5 — No money, no win *2025-12-10, version 32.1.3* When I first downloaded this game it seemed a lot like real poker. Then I started losing and had to rely on daily coins to play (refuse to buy). Cannot get above beginner level and lose constantly. Cards I get are not playable. Will delete this terrible app ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-12-07, version 32.1.3* Bad you canʻt win ### 1/5 — Bad RNG *2025-09-19, version 32.1.3* I’ve been playing poker for years and this game random number generator is garbage it’s only for creating action nothing is correct I have seen so many pocket AA vs KK pre-flop at six handed game more than I ever have in my entire life of playing poker for over 30 year both live and internet.also you will have tons of open ended straight draws flush draws you will not hit.Don’t get me started we have a top pair with a flush draw they have a same pair their kicker won’t even be that soup but that’s what I hit for two pair and take you down. And the amount of case cards that I have seen on the flop in a 6 handed game is beyond ridiculous. I have purposely folded hands like JJ pre-flop even KK a couple times and in all scenarios I was CORRECT you will also see the most got shot straight draws you ever see come runner runner for the river to lose the entire pot these type of games should be monitored and even consider to be a legal since you actually can pay real money for play chips if the RNG is not correct it should be completely illegal. I read most of the reviews before playing this game and figured either a lot of people say about poker games in general but after about 100+ hours of playing this and watching I could 100 percent say people are correct do not waste any money on this game. take notes and run the math and you will see that almost everybody is correct and he’s reviews if I go lower than one star I would this game should be banned since they charge money for real chips.. Go play real money play site if you want a true RNG. in case people don’t know what RNG means it’s random number generator THAT all card games have……..Aug 14,2025 Edit: tell me how you have software glitches if this is a true RNG poker site? There has now been muti times players cards just disappear but they still have a hand, guess what you will not see what they won with. And some people haven’t gotten paid for placing in tournaments. This is Beyond unacceptable if you’re charging people real money for chips I have now started Excel spreadsheets I will be running more test and doing the math and marking down each graphical glitch etc. and reporting this site to the Better Business Bureau. this type of behavior from devs should not be tolerated by anyone…….. Aug 15, 2025 Edit: total of 5 tournaments today, which I will only talk about 80% and up winning chance.. total of 22 players 19 of them with pair higher then QQ lose to lower pocket pair on turnout our river all ins pre flop BTW. Two hands stand out 6 player max first hand Ah 9h Vs AsAc, A9 raises button AA slows plays, flop Ad Kh 3h of course all chips gets in turn 6c river 2h winner A9 hearts.. I threw away 84 of hearts pre flop.. Second hand late in tournament tables unbalanced because of this.. total 4 players at table 3 of them have clubs as both cards, flop is flush for all 3 of them.. I myself threw one club away pre. There is 13 same suit 7 in players hands 3 Came on board total 10 of the 13 clubs, do the math for that alone let alone flop with 3 of them, won’t even break down positions of players but I’ll tell you it was bad spot for lowest flush…… Aug 17, 2005 3 tournaments AAvsKK pre flop, seen 4 times. Also seen 3 four of a kind in one tournament. Where 4 of a kind double and tripled up with others having big hands.. QsQh under the gun limps button raises minimum BB calls QQ moves in button folds BB calls with Kc6h. Up to this point BB wasn’t getting out of line at all, Flop 8c 5c 4d, turn Qc river 2c giving Kc flush.. Under gun 22,000 roughly BB 20,000 blinds 1k 500 plus ante more to come……. Aug 20, 2005 Ok let’s us talk about odds of 3 of the same card on the flop example AAA,555 etc. If you where to bet on it to happen you need better then 425/1 odds. So in 3 days I personally saw it 9 times at my table in muti games. And 2/9 turn card was the 4th meaning AAAA, 5555 etc the mathematical probability this happening will never happened in your average lifespan of numerous people and not just myself. Meaning NEVER! I know this has happen other days but was before I cared to keep track…. Aug 21,2005 now let’s talk about how many times I’ve seen flush over flush or even two people all in with the same for suit. One tournament alone seen 4 different times were both hit a flush. Remember guys this is six hand as well so the odds are even way less will both have the same suit. Total of six times with all ins heads up with flush draws that missed. That’s a total of 10 times alone I seen with cards up. This was one tournament and I got second place. Next I will list how many times runner runner flush over made flush draw on flop. I guarantee you this 1 will dwarf all the rest stay tuned. Aug 25, 2005 now let’s talk about three ways all in pots how many times the best hand actually becomes the third best in 10 tournaments I have seen it 24 times, and 9 where the best hand won. I do not even count the ones where is small change I’m talking ones were it’s AK vs JJ AQ and some how by the river the AQ makes 2 pair our runner runner straight which involves a J of course.. or let’s talk about somebody shoving with A3 off then AK calls and AQ and somehow the case A hits but A3 makes two pair our 3 for the straight.. Anyways this will be my last report I have screenshots to back all this up I have now compiled and will be sending this off to the Better Business Bureau. These type of APS started to hold accountable just like EA and others have been in front of Congress.. And of course customers support hasn’t even acknowledged this review our anyone else complaining DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND SPEND MONEY ON THIS SITE. They do not update there software, look at last update 3 months ago as of Sep 16, 2025. Site is full of hackers and 100% glitched software to create action where you will flop two pair etc to someone’s flush draw our over pair. The amount of case cards our two our more players having top range hands is mathematically impossible ### 1/5 — Statistically garbage *2025-09-14, version 32.1.3* Whatever tweaks they made with recent updates has made this laughably illegitimate. Do not give this app a cent of real money, pure rigged garbage. The amount of 4 of a kind bad beats etc is so common, unfathomably unrealistic anymore. Caveat emptor! ### 1/5 — Demands private information *2025-09-11, version 32.1.3* You can’t have my information!!! ### 1/5 — Was better and is rigged if you buy chips. *2025-09-07, version 32.1.3* I play live and on here. On here, I pretty much always lose with pocket A’s and I NEVER get rivered as much in live poker as I do here. All they want is for you to buy more chips and I’m done buying them. Wish there was a good, honest poker app out there. This one used to have potential. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-06-18, version 35.1.3* Best poker online ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2026-05-21, version 33.1.1* Love playing poker on this app!!!! ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-05-15, version 33.1.1* It’s great ### 5/5 — Play *2025-08-24, version 32.1.3* I love this app !!!
