CardGames.io Reviews 29

Their Gin Rummy game becomes increasing slanted to benefit the house “Bill”. Bill gets cards which let him win in in 1 or 2 hands but that never happens for the users. It isn’t Bill’s skill rather the hands always give Bill great cards - but not players. FIND ANY Other site AND DELETE THIS APP

Your computer player cheats! I just played the fastest Cribbage game I have ever played in my life. Your computer player just got three double-double hands in a row, three fives and a king, and two more double-double hands in a row. Seriously?!??? Please do not patronize this company as they are a complete joke!

I enjoy all the games that I know and like the fact I can learn new ones at my own pace

There is cheating happening. 2 ways. The handful of employees participating, and the people who have learned how to alter cards. You can tell people who alter cards because they take a long time initially in the first hand when it's their turn. They are looking at all of the cards including yours, and including The coding needed to alter the cards to their favor

You will find that they often will take the cards that you throw out.

Sometimes they make a mistake, and you will find that you have more cars than you were supposed to, or you end up with less cards than you were supposed to.

I play Gin only. Certain users are clearly cheating. They change their names so people will still try to play them.

One user always says "prepare to lose" or "boom" or "oh know"
That user is cheating.
He knows what's in your hand and is altering cards.

Too many and non stop ads. Sometimes two at a time.

I’ve played several dozen hours on each of Hearts, Spades, Gin Rummy, Whist & Rummy. I’m an above average player & find it almost impossible to win. The AI competitors always seem to hold the winning card in multiple rounds against all probability. I can only conclude that the computer is NOT dealing cards to other players but is holding them in a pool to gazump you whenever possible.

Games where you control your cards and your moves but where their computer is in complete control, the game is rigged for the system/computer to win. Example, the most basic of card games, ( I play with my grandkids) is war. When played with a regular shuffled deck, the odds have always been and will always be close to even. Not with Cardgames io. The kids opted out since the computer won 68% of the time, not including crashed games due to advertising glitches which would add another 10-15% favoring the computer to the kids 8% wins. Come on people rewrite your programs.

Absolutely terrible site. In every game, from card games to dice game the cards or dice are loaded in favour of the computer. In Backgammon, the computer makes doubles up on a point 90% of the time. It gets the first roll almost every time. The programmers don't seem to realise that this would not happen in real life play where the dice roll is random.
Whist: Nearly every hand the computer pairing has at least 3 of the 4 aces and 3 of the 4 kings.
I fail to see what they are getting out of rigging the game. It isn't as though the programmers are playing the games themselves.

pretty epic. i like playing minesweeper on there

in Gin rummy, they clearly use BOTS posing as "multi players"
they wont let you sit alone if no one is joining... SOMEONE will arrive and it will be a blond male. BARRY is one such. I can actusally PREDICT when that person is going to take what I through out. it will Just so HAPPEN to be what he needs. One time, I took the blond player bot to the end, with only a single 3 card as deadwood. GUESS WHAT HE HAD? a single card. a 3 card. a tie, and he wins.

they also respond way too fast. they have "learned " to have a bit of a delay. it delays if you move your cursor over certain cards or move cards around... then anticipates you playing that card, and responds in kind.

"joe" always wins. Supposedly a real player. When playing "joe" I NEVER. And I mean NEVER get a hand with any runs. AND "joe" seems to have ultra low cards and despite me having NO runs, when I pull from the deck, every, and I mean EVERY card is one that is a king or queen.. a high card. And some magical way "joe" ends up with low low cards, gin, and everything else. Is there ANY rummy game online that ISN'T gambling So as to lean towards the house, or a game that has no gambling, or purchase point, such as this one that isn't still trying to lean towards the house! It's crazy ..just crazy .. why lean towards the house? there is no gambling involved

The people programming it AI powering this platform are TERRIBLE!!!! They clearly have NO knowledge of the strategy of the games they are programming!!! The euchre game for instance is LESS then beginner as far as skill and further the AI doesn’t learn from its mistakes!!! It is difficult playing games on this platform. In fact, it is annoying, anything but relaxing or entertaining. More frustrating is what it is!!!!

I play cribbage and euchre. Consider myself an above average player. When I play on my android phone the stats show my win percentage is above average. When I play on my iPad, I lose and lose badly. Additionally I can play euchre on my phone and iPad at the same time in the same game so basically I could cheat but the whole experience disgusted me.

I wish there was more comms function with other players. I like muting players so I don’t see their stupid Comments. I also make it a habit to favourite players who are good and block players who talk too much or are hopeless, of which there are many in euchre.

I’m here because of the android vs iOS bias. If you’re using Apple products CardGames.io is not for you.

I have played 200+ games of Spades and while the graphics, speed and mechanics of the game are great, the dealing of cards is totally rigged for the benefit of the opposing computer team. My partner and I seldom receive a spade in our hands from what I have been dealt and seeing what my partner plays and when I receive any at all, they are low numbers and maybe 1 or 2 Spades face cards at best (once in every 20+ hands dealt) while I watch the other opponents hands play multiple Spades cards with many face cards every few hands. Something I would expect if I were playing at a masters level, which this app doesn't have, you are unable to choose a level of play difficulty and are stuck playing against a stacked deck in favor of the opposite team.
Looking for another Spades ♠️ app without this problem.

There is definitely something wrong with some of the algorithms used for these games. For example, the algorithm used for shuffling cards resulting in the cards not being shuffled enough and being bunched together in somewhat consistent ways which is highly improbable even to happen occasionally if shuffles were properly randomized. Escoba is an example where this happens quite often, such that, in a 4 player games, when 3 cards per person are dealt, far too often all 4 players will have the same card numbers.

Also, I believe there is an issue with the seed used for generating the randomizer. This is because I've noticed certain games get harder and harder to win, in fact becoming nearly impossible to win after winning the majority of games over a period of several hundred games played. On a hunch, I cleared the stats for the game just to see what would happen and then it starts behaving normally again. I've noticed this behavior on multiple games, in fact, most of the games I play regularly.

This is not a honest game. The odds are against the player.

Carde.io is a trash company, not professional at all. Do not deal with them especially their team Daniel and Kelly two 0 experienced individual who works as management... in total garbage I wish Disney hear me and cancel their contract with them and give back to Melee!!

Title: Longtime Player Disappointed – Game Cheats and Blocks Legal Plays

I’ve been using the CardGames.io app for a long time and have always appreciated the variety of games and simple design. However, it’s become clear that something is wrong with how some games are functioning—especially Canasta.

On multiple occasions, the app has prevented me from completing legal plays. Most recently, I was about to go out in a Canasta game. I had a complete Ace Canasta and only two cards left: an Ace (which should be allowed to join the existing Canasta) and a Two (which I intended to discard). This is a completely legal and common way to finish a game—but the app blocked me from doing it. The option to melt or finish wasn’t even available, despite the fact that all conditions were met.

This is not a one-time glitch. It’s the third or fourth time this exact kind of problem has occurred. And unfortunately, it makes the game feel rigged or buggy—either way, unplayable for someone who knows the rules.

It’s frustrating and disappointing to be blocked from finishing games fairly. For this reason, I’m deleting the app and switching to a different card game platform. I hope the developers take this seriously and fix the issue, because until then, I can’t recommend this app.

This is a sham site! It is committing fraud and needs removing!!!! Remove it!
