Why do you guys constantly steal peoples coins and cheat? How do I have 3500 coins play one game for 250 coins then have 600 coins. It’s so annoying because it’s a good game but they cheat you constantly.
Too many ads
I used to love playing this game but the amount of ads that they have now is completely ridiculous. You’re spending more time pressing “X” than playing. After every single game they have an ad 🤦🏾♂️ I miss how it used to be. If they get that under control then I’ll play again
Scamming app
This game cheats. They give you bogus hands like 10 games in a row because they want you to buy coins and spend money, so they want you to lose quite a few games and throw a winner in there every now and then to keep you playing, these developers KNOW EXACTLY what they’re doing. I give the scamming game -89 stars smdh.. It’s sad a game has to cheat people to keep going
Scam.
I use to like this game. Too many bots now. I play games and don’t get coins when I win. They took away the live playing just to get you to spend cash on tokens when they steal them from you. I’m Never installing it again!
No Money No Wins!
if you don’t pay to buy the packages you will not have fun or win. And on top of that even when you buy a package they will work against you to lose all your coins! this game is soooo rigged it’s insane. “partners” will bid books they clearly don’t have. Every other game the opponents are going nil and getting it! it’s unbelievable! And when you reach out to “customer service” they tell it’s all fair and reasonable. DO NOT PLAY NOR PURCHASE FROM THIS APP!
Spades Royale
Game is horrible!!!!!! Your partner is a computer that does dumb things to make yall lose on purpose. You lose wayyyy more money than you win in a game. They need to fix it
Riddled with ads and nothing for it
For a game dependent on ads they are the most obtrusive in any I’ve seen. Loading the screen you are faced with FOUR requests to purchase. Additional ads for more coins to play repeatedly state the reward is no longer valid” gameplay itself is decent but ad experience makes the game less than desirable.
Glitch
This game keeps freezing and I am unable to bid or play my hand. I have even been charged $23 to download the game and I am not sure what the point is
Game Sucks
Had been playing for years but for the last couple of months it freezes and glitches multiple times a day. Then you watch the ads to collect coins and it tells you after watching the coins can no longer be collected.
Scam
They said hey, rate us and get 5k in coins! They lied!!!!!!
Freezing
Before, middle, and end the game just freeze you have to get complete off the app and reset it in order for it to work and this problem Just started a few months ago
Absolutely trash the game crashes randomly and takes your coins
I play this game pretty frequently and it has gotten to the point where I’m just too frustrated to deal with it anymore. If you get on a hot streak, the game will crash and when the game crashes and you reboot, they’ll take at least half your coins. I had 40k coins the game crashed twice and now I’m left with only 3,500. I took a couple of screenshots because I wanted to make sure I wasn’t overreacting. Fix the bugs man smh
Fake game
If you don’t spend money on the app they don’t let y out win game is bogus DONT DOWNLOAD and all of the comments and rating are fake and paid for
Ads Heavy
This game was fun until after every round there’s a ADS, you can’t even get to play with your team mate cause of ADS Dang that’s a shame!!!!!
Bots
I’m not going to continue to play this game when after the hand is drawn it’s obvious I can’t win because of the cards or the Bots either bidding 7 total or nil. It’s a waste of time. Especially if I’m expected to sit through Ads for an unfair algorithm based game.
App glitches
App glitches and makes me lose coins I’ve paid for . Would not recommend.
Money Grab
As you progress and continue to play you’ll see that the app will not reward you for anything except high dollar stake. This is to ensure you run out of coins and of course purchase more. Let me remind you this is simple entertainment as no one will ever get any cash return. I love the app and its design but I hate how it’s leveraged to make you continue spending hard earned money!
Rigged! Will steal your money!
Players…BEWARE!! This game is RIGGED! The creators set you up to fail!
Keeps lagging
I know it isn’t my internet or my brand new iPhone 17 pro max. This games keeps lagging and messing up on start up. Not happy
They Will Steal Your Coins.
I Had 2000 Coins Watched A Video Won A 500 Coin Game. I Now Have Only 80 Now. It Glitches And Gets Stuck On Ads. The Side Games Are Good.
Used to be good
Game was good but ads are killing it. They place the ads right after a game which kills the possibility of playing again with same partner. I understand ads but maybe place them elsewhere. Also have been running into freezing issues when starting a game then have to relaunch which results in wrong auto bid and loss.
Ads
I been playing this game for months now and love it but yall added ads between hands and it is screwing up the game. If you win with a partner they are gone before you get back because of the ads. Please review this are I will have to find a replacement.
I got your response. I don’t think you are understanding… putting the ads between the games is messing up the game. Because of this new update you loss the partner that you won with because of the ad and losses the fun of the game. If you don’t fix this game will be gone very soon.

Over it
Hate all the ads
Update 11/28/25 still way too many ads

Just Read
Too many bots and an ad after every game you play unless you spend money to upgrade, those are my complaints.
Spades
I enjoy the game but the prizes are ridiculously low, rewards are low and you can go for weeks not getting a hand to play if playing solo mode. I won’t buy coins so I’m stuck at zero again. The least the developer could do was create more rewards with much larger demonizations than 400. It’s ridiculous. Looking for another spades app. Any suggestions out there.
