The winnings are very poor considering you play for ages to eventually hit a bonus and it’s return is four or five times your bet. I appreciate it’s gambling but it seems be getting worse ### 1/5 — BUGGY APP & TOTAL SCAM - DO NOT USE *2026-07-19, version 3.93.10* App keeps freezing and kicking you out of games - you automatically lose money. TOTAL SCAM - DO NOT USE ### 1/5 — Shocking site . *2026-07-12, version 3.93.10* One worse sites I’ve played on ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-07-07, version 3.93.0* Used to be good now it’s full of bot. N the games are a set up. The game decides who’s gona win n lose before the game even starts. Bots going all in constantly. Like every match all in. It’s become a rigged app ### 3/5 — Games *2026-07-05, version 3.93.0* You can’t even win from the new games or the old games. What’s the point playing when you can’t never win, nothing no jackpot not even that small taste of women always losing not a fair Site ### 1/5 — Suspiciously feels very staged and limited wins *2026-06-22, version 3.93.0* Rubbish payout when you finally get bonus spins Pays great at minimus stake but absolute waste of time when you bonus spins at and above 50p and get worse the higher the bet it like its programmed to pay less often and lower mutlipliyers on the higher stake, it pretty crooked! But alll the online slots are! I can class action, against these site when it finally come the the game can and have been manipulated Customer read a sheet of BS talking about random spin generator, I don’t think they even know what they are reading! Can’t wait for the expose for certain it’ll come, wouldn’t mind but they must make an absolute fortune from the mugs that play them My advice head to a live casino for a fair shake Good your going to need it Got a response from PokerStars I believe they believe the games are fair and well regulated, I’m not convinced that they are! I’ve had concern on many occasions giltchs in game play getting logged out when game is play well and then starts playing rubbish when logging or the site going down for maintenance at a random time for a very short period in the middle of bonus game 20 minutes later I back up and running odd behaviour I’ve spoken about the help about the poor payouts at higher stakes, and how the sense of fairness is apparent, play at slower amount and you get better payout, it doesn’t mean this will always win! But you may occasionally get some cracking payout so long as your stake isn’t too high! Raise the stake watch the game play differently the payout fall through the floor, the chance of getting bonus spins dry up, and when you do get them, they win multiplier suddenly and consistently nose dives to x20 or even worse x10 what make that frustrating is! It happen too often at higher stakes, the staff quite random win generator or RTP return to player! I think this is a script! Doesn’t anybody know how these game are programmed? Other than the developers! The mechanics the algorithms! I’m no expert either computers or software! But if something is random then how does a game play higher multiplies and more frequently at lower amount One final not recently I was playing game at varying amount the max amount was £5 I played different amount changing the amount almost every spin £3 £3.5 £4 £5 etc up down for period, no special win than luckily a bonus at £4, the game then paid one of lowest win multiplier I’ve ever had x10, immediately after this poor payout the max bet on said game was dropped to £2 per spin I have the logs and history to prove, when you challenge this sites, twist your complains into gambling a problem, and all about some who has lost money, well I was playing with money won from there at a lower amount I didn’t anything to come in, as I doesn’t usually, So I was over joyed that it did, bonus spins well it can be a lottery but x100 is pretty normal I’d say(at lower) x10 is possibly the worst you could, bar no win at all, my experience especially when on the occasion I got a bonus with a stake near max bet has almost always been underwhelming, for this to happen repeatedly doesn’t feel random or unlucky, for this to happen and then the game to change its max bet amount without warning or reason would never sit right In a casino, table max bet changes during game play are stated openly and everyone on said table is informed, so why does a game suddenly change its dynamics! After nearly or paying out a large some of money(or should of paid out) for this too happen without warning, would suggest the game or some are monitored and altered depending on the risk of big payout! A bit like a casino of old kicking out someone whose could win! Who’s to say they can’t manipulate when a game win or restrict access or stake at those times! I don’t know how they work but my experience and advice would be play the minimum stake you’ll have more fun and more payouts win or lose, play at a higher amount is a waste of time, yes you may get the odd win here or there but nothing like a regular or good as the minimum play Can you imagine playing roulette at a casino and the person playing £0.10 wins on the same number as the person playing £10 and payout is the same because it a radon win generator, There would be a riot, I’ve had a gaming licence so I’m not taking out of bitterness or spitting so random complaints, I think the problem is widespread across all the online site! And I sure they make a lot of money and I’m also sure they would make a lot of money playing straight, I play to hopefully win a nice big one at any amount but only have any enjoyment when stake at minimum or just above that problem the only time when the game plays random! Whoever does regulate them need to do a better job of it ### 1/5 — Sluggish *2026-06-19, version 3.93.0* Slot machines are very sluggish and unplayable right now. Very frustrating ### 1/5 — Not recommended *2026-06-07, version 3.92.10* Those clowns are sensoring you left and right! I got 2 pictures removed from my profile for silly reasons ### 1/5 — Unrealistic *2026-05-31, version 3.92.10* 100% scam. Literally every tournament, you’ll get all the money in on say the turn. It’ll show your a 96% favourite the other player only has 2 outs and somehow they’ll hit it every time. Or you’ll get it in on the river flopping top set and they’ll go runner runner for a straight. It’s rigged for action and to encourage rebuys and think it’s time a gambling body investigated these sites. 96% favourite should not mean you lose 96% of the time yet somehow…… ### 2/5 — Slows freeze when spinning *2026-05-21, version 3.92.10* Spinning slots is horrible, every time you spin for the last 6 months it freezes for 10 seconds then shows u what hit and then freezes again so 1 spin can take 20-30 seconds ### 3/5 — Feeling robbed *2026-05-20, version 3.92.10* The amount of times lost on river to poorly played hands including hands like os 9,4 and when clear chip lead in heads up and play all in Ace king suited with ace on flop n loose to hands that wouldn’t even play is frustrating ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam!trash bot app! Stay away!!!!!!!!!! *2026-08-25, version 3.94.0* Extremely high rate of bad beats! Stay away!I can’t add screenshots to see AA beat all in with K9 off ,at cash game 200+ pot :))) beyond ridiculous! ### 1/5 — Feels rigged *2026-08-21, version 3.94.0* Rigged site just flopped a flush 97% lost to a full house on turn river ### 1/5 — Bad beats *2026-08-21, version 3.94.0* Most hand genuinely need less than 10 percent to win and get it more than the maths suggest ### 1/5 — Obvious bad beats when short stacked *2026-08-19, version 3.93.10* I’m not a pro poker player, I don’t claim to be even a good level poker player, but it’s so clearly obvious how fixed/botted this app really is. I mostly play Sit & Go’s at a casual level, whenever you’re short stacked by a decent margin, you will lose to the most ridiculous bad beats, and they are so so predictable. I know I’m not a serious poker player, so I’ll probably be laughed out of the room for questioning odds and probability, but it’s getting silly. Most recently literally just happened, I was short stacked all in with AQo up against A3o against chip leader. Flop 555 turn 8. 77.7% win probability for me, around 6% for him. Lo and behold, river card is a 3. One of 3 cards in a deck of 52 that would guarantee I lose, not even a split pot. Bad beats are part of the game of course but it’s so predictable in pokerstars that if you’re short stacked, you will always lose. I’ve deleted and redownloaded this app a lot of times because I love the game, but this was the final straw. Just so ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Your prizes are embarrassing! *2026-08-07, version 3.93.10* Played a $1 spin and go max with 4 players, and the prizes offered were $1.30, $1.50 and $5.50. Won and get $1.50. How is 50c a good profit. These games are absolutely pointless. Sort it out PokerStars it’s actually embarrassing. Other sites have such better offerings. ### 1/5 — Algorithm is nonsense on here *2026-08-03, version 3.93.10* As above ### 1/5 — Controlled software *2026-07-31, version 3.93.10* Fake ### 1/5 — Casino and poker *2026-07-24, version 3.93.10* Garbage. Poker, 2-3 hands bad beat! Slots, I had the worse experience: no bonus no big win! Stay away of this ### 1/5 — one day u will be found out *2026-07-21, version 3.93.10* usually card s pokerstars not real ### 1/5 — Warped Site *2026-07-20, version 3.93.10* So corrupt and warped ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I’m always gonna be stars *2026-08-11, version 3.93.10* The only thing I would say is for me the game on the iOS app is getting a little lag. It can be frustrating but I don’t doubt they will sort it. Shame about the rewards. Here for the grind however! ### 5/5 — The Best site every *2026-08-02, version 3.93.10* Best site ### 5/5 — Great fun *2026-07-31, version 3.93.10* Love it ### 5/5 — Kopite *2026-07-12, version 3.93.10* Top card game ### 5/5 — Amazing game😍 *2026-06-27, version 3.93.0* Amazing game 😍 ### 5/5 — Poker S *2026-06-19, version 3.93.0* Top app 😃 ### 5/5 — Best site *2026-06-13, version 3.93.0* Best site ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-05-29, version 3.92.10* £20 quid on £1 spin and not even 20 pence win I can understand losing but would be nice to play more than 1 minute lol what a joke ### 5/5 — Mr khan *2026-05-24, version 3.92.10* It’s a fantastic game app and it’s just perfecto .. ### 5/5 — Love pokerstars *2026-05-09, version 3.92.0* Been a user for a long while, used it for poker and sports betting, great fun, good game dynamics! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
