What a load of bullshit this game…

What a load of bullshit this game really is. Advertised real money paying for rent, meals etc but you get nothing. Paid £4.00 into game built up £30 just over and withdrew £7.00 lost £21,83 forfeit bonus for taking out £7.00 WOW this is a scam a very bad advertisement which is misleading. I’m doing everything I can for someone to take this game down and stop others losing money.

Give 8-Ball Pool back to actual players instead of virtual AI users.

8-ball pool has been my favorite e-game for over a decade. I've been playing it with joy and delight and, over the years, it has become the most enjoyable way for me to spend my 15-minute break when working from home, to clear up my mind getting rid of countless burdening and overwhelming thoughts or just to hang out for a while with an entertaining game...
I ve been a real "fan" of the game for so long... I ve been having such a great time throughout all these years...!
However, during these last 2-3 weeks I ve began to reconsider... My layest experience of the game during this period of time has led me to believe that it has begun to gradually abolish the very factor that has made it so popular among people worldwide, i.e. HUMAN INTERACTION...
The very fact that ACTUAL PEOPLE, REAL PERSONS, LIVING HUMAN BEINGS get inter-connected in real time interaction (even for a few minutes game), get closer with each other and have fun while competing over a pool table... is what makes the difference (above graphics, gameplay etc.)... is what has made the game so popular...
However... during this latest period of time, this great asset seems to "fade away"...
I can't believe that MiniClip or whoever may be in charge for all users' experience of the game has decided one day to interfere in players' pure interaction by introducing a (big -as it appears-) number of virtual AI players that are not only virtually unbeatable, but also... so provocatively "skilled" that end up playing by themselves while their opponents (i.e. us HUMAN players) are left speechless... staring at their extraordinary combination shots and their "extra-terrestrial" magical tricks... performed without even targeting... without aiming at all... in just a few seconds... with all the balls ending up getting potted one by one via the most incredible shots...
I MEAN... COME ON... COME ON PEOPLE...
In case you people DON'T LIKE the users of your product (your CUSTOMERS) to have fun, amusing themselves by playing a game where winning or losing depends on their own skills and performance and to experience the joy (and vanity) of the included trivial achievements... then DROP IT RIGHT NOW...
In case you prefer them all being totally disappointed because of their "phoney" inability to win just a single game (who could beat AI... who can beat a machine as their opponent...?)... then... what you offer is nothing more an UNFAIR PLAY...!
And your policy... is just a FOUL PLAY...!
You 've come up with introducing AI into this purely amusing game, initially made for people to have fun... What for?
I mean... wasn't people's/users' entertainment your purpose...? Isn't this the game's purpose...?
Whether your priorities have changed and you now prefer discouraging human players and, eventually, making them quit on their favorite game... then (there's nothing more left to say...) keep going... let AI prevail...!!
Too bad...
Too bad...
Very sorry for such a great game ending up like this...
Please give the pool back to actual players... give it back to real people...!!
Thank you very much.

Never deposit money on to this app

Never deposit money on to this app. In game you get a bonus choice for potting three balls. When you’re playing for free you get the right combination 9 times out of 10. When playing for real money it’s closer to 2 out of 10 meaning you can play the perfect game and still finish last due to the option of bonus you’re given. It’s not a fair playing field and I’d be interested to see if every ‘player’ is actually human. If not, then they’re purposely making you lose. Stay clear of depositing money EVER

This company suspended me for so called cheating. I payed money to the creators of this game never cheated. Stay far away from this game. They will rip you off take your money and cheat you even when you play fairly. Terrible experience will never go back to anything from miniclip. They are thieves. Never again.

1 star is too many.

1 star is too many. The algorithm will put you on a losing streak no matter what. I've been playing this game for years and it's always the same s**t. You'll build coins then it's put you on an unstoppable losing streak. I wouldn't spend a dime on this s**t game. It used to be fun now there's too many cheaters.

I wish I could give half a star

I wish I could give half a star. I thought something was wrong with me until I patiently studied how this game forces me to loose until I purchase more coins. And when I refuse to purchase, all hell was let loose as AI bots were released at every level of the game to ensure I lost all my coins.

This is really unfair of the developers. I will discontinue access to my purchase. No more purchasing of coins. Very soon this game will be uninstalled.

One star too many

One star too many. Joke of a game and purely a money spinning exercise. If you don’t rate highly or purchase you get a bum deal playing against opponent who cannot miss no matter how ridiculous and impossible the shot appears to be. Bots that cannot miss take charge and you have zero chance to win. Don’t waste your time or money on this joke.

Cheaters are very irritating

Guys you have to do something about cheaters they are very irritating, because of them we can't play games in big tables. Before i really like this 8 ball pool but now because of the cheaters i just don't want to play, like i just want to uninstall the game. They are really really really irritating.
Please do something to stop them. Thanks.

About every other add you watch the whole thing ends and I have to start over which means starting over from loading the game again and waiting for ever for it to load,then watching more adds. I like the game, but not worth the hassle l. And they cheat at times.

Pop-ups are sickening beyond belief

Pop-ups are sickening beyond belief. One offer after another. It's so congested, the app freezes. If you're lucky, you'll get to play one game every half hour. They do everything they can to squeeze a dollar out you, including stuffing it with features that have absolutely nothing to do with the game. The purpose of such an app is supposed to provide fun for the user, but they clearly have forgotten that. Not worth the download.

Cheating has ruined 8 Ball Pool. Yes, you can report cheaters, but reporting does nothing to fix the damage. Stolen coins are never replaced, so honest players permanently lose progress while cheaters move on.
Players face impossible shots and obvious hacks, yet Miniclip offers no real protection or restitution. Allowing cheating without restoring losses punishes fair players and rewards dishonest ones.
Until stolen coins are replaced and cheating is actually dealt with, this game is not worth supporting.

Without doubt the biggest Con of any…

Without doubt the biggest Con of any games on the Internet. You play a few games with the constant side act of being asked to buy buy buy . It,s so annoying. But the biggest Con is, let me explain. There you are winning a few games when all of a sudden an AI player comes along. The AI player cannot miss no matter how bad the balls are set .For instance the black ball might be in a situation where it's virtually impossible to be Potted Then the AI player somehow going around the table 5 times pots the black . It's a Rip off.

The game is rigged

The owners of many clipped by 8 ball or whatever the hell it is. These owners are so greedy. They can't stand you to win a game, so if you're playing an opponent who's not on a team, most of the time that person is probably a robot and you can tell how the shot that they're making is set up if it's set up. With no Fine-tuning, you know, it just kind of goes for the the position really quickly. It's most likely a robot and you better not miss against them, d*** robots. If it's not a robot, you're playing against people that have 60000 games or more that do nothing but play this d*** game, it's almost non winnable. I swear I've lost 15 games in a row before I wrote this article, I'm p***** as hell, you know. I'm rated number 2 in the sapphire league and I don't. I didn't get there because II made 90 million coins last week. Anyone is this ridiculous that these people go through all this to make sure you lose.We're never gonna ever ever spend money on this game again ever ever.Never , because it's unfair , and it's rigged

The freakin cheaters are back. It's not right or fair that they cheat and make IMPOSSIBLE shots... Y'all need to do something about this or me and my entire team will boycott your game. This is insanely ridiculous. This happens every year around this time. SMH.

Cheating players using cheats to win

Cheating players using cheats to win, not even hiding the fact they were cheating and nothing is done to stop it I don't see the point of report button if nothing is done about it.
I don't see the point cheating its not real money 🙄 play the game properly.

Game controls who wins

The game can choose who you play with and when to lose , it can change the mechanics and let your white ball spin ( even when you didn’t use the spin) and go directly into the hole. It can make a low level new player win when you are ranked over 100. Recently played with a rank 41 ( showed professional on their profile) , i had now chance, the other player got all his balls in! Didn take much from them to aim, the white ball was precisely where the game wanted it to be , for that player to have the most easy shot. While for me , many times it will let your white ball land behind another ball then you are stuck!!!
