While playing Zynga poker the last week it starts off very fast and as the game progresses it gets slower you can't bet or fold and eventually it freezes up
and this happens every time we try to play
What is the problem?
it happens to our friends too
We all enjoy playing the game

Stolen Poker Chips - by Zynga, NOT a Hacker!
I had all of my 2.4 billion chips stolen on 8/21 WHILE I WAS OFF-LINE, and my "hands played" and my "high hand" counts reduced to zero! A hacker can not affect the hands count, so it must be an action by Zynga. I have sent many emails to Customer Support, and yet Carlos L claims to have conducted a "careful check" and yet can not find any record of chips or counts being adjusted. Clearly my account was tampered with in an error or a deliberate action by Zynga.

I am retired and permanently disabled with severe heart problems. My only recreation is playing my Zynga Poker and I have taken many months to accumulate my 2.4 billion chips. Customer Support staff clearly lack a sense of fairness and moral responsibility. Are they punishing good players who don’t need to continuously re-buy chips? Or do they just want to drive away the better players so they can suck money out of novice and poorer players? This is really shameful behavior!

I agree and I'm also using MOL points for chips!WTH is wrong with your server.Im using MOL points for chips and keeps on loosing because of hanging in the game.I'm really mad.sometimes I have 2 aces.but before I can call it hangs and folds.I dont know if you are doing this on purpose so people with load up more.

whenever i win big amount on zynga poker, they will ban my account on an account of violation of terms of services. when it happened for the first time i thought it might be a mistake but didn't took it too seriously. that time i was ripped off for over 100 million chips. and then i was banned when i won around 54 millions. i asked for the reasons behind the ban. but i didn't got a email reply. and this time they have banned my account as soon as i won 350 millions in my account. when i won't have much chips my account has never violated any terms of services. but whenever i will make a big stack, everytime my account will be found violating terms of services. is it some kinda joke or is it their way to enhance their sales of chips. its clear cut cheating with the players while they do so. i want some action to be taken against this. and will appreciate if i will get my 350 million chips back in my account.
thank you.

About zynga poker help me understand for example if their are two aces on the table and u and someone else wins with a three of a kind u have a ace and a king and the other person has a ace and a 5 its a split pot at times and other times the higher card win dosent matter who put the most in the pot. Next problem someone wins with 2 pair and someone wins with a pair of 6s and u have a pair of kings and the person with 2 pair gets paid and the one with a pair of 6 and i get nothing again everyone put in the same amount whats the deal here with zynga please inform me adam_carroll3@yahoo.com

This game is the biggest rip off I have ever seen. They have players playing for them and they will receive hands that will beat you so you will come back and pay for more chips. There should be something done for the US citizens that are getting ripped of. The players are normally foreigners dark skin and they don't have very much of a budget. Please don't buy any chips from this company because you will have cheaters taking your chips.
The government should step in and do something about this.

This is to officially complain against Facebook concerning their tactic in handling the poker chips issue. I had twice reached the 100 million mark and both times was framed of selling chips. Everytime I played with my friends at the same table, they would assume and decide that I have been transferring chips.Is it not a social net where I am supposed to be playing with my friends? This chip selling market has become so hot and I would not be surprised if the third party sellers are not associated with Zynga itself, thus keeping their prices high and then selling as a third party and then banning your account and in the process taking the chips back.The true legal American way of stealing the public.There does not seem anyone to look into this matter so the rich get richer and common man gets duped once again.

Zynga purports to offer games to players via facebook. Their games often have glitches and do NOT work correctly. When this happens we are told as players its a known issue and developers are working on it, but we are not compensated for their errors. Yesterday they purportedly found abnormal game activity on everyone whom plays mafia wars accounts...The cheap jerks then went into our accounts, stole our war rewards and decreased our stats. Unjustifiable, and unethical...WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEIR GAMES TO ANYONE!

zynga poker is really f****** frustrating. I lost 500m 9 players Sit N Go by freezing. So many times together 2 Billion chips lost, when my winning hand it freezes. and very weak cards on hand no freezing. this is the technique to induce the players to buy chips. I have never purchased till now. but constantly playing am at level 202 and made billions earlier. zynga only favours the heavy buyers or spenders on zynga.
