Trickster Cards Reviews 

The "private clubs" will send you "invites to join" (Euchre with me) and kick you out of the club if you beat them (PAGrammy has done this to many). Happened to me today. She kicked me out less than a minute before the end of the tournament when she'd realized I won the tourney. Pathetic. Send a complaint via Feedback.

Again, played lots of hands of misere where joker was lowest in the callers hand but highest in opposition hand. Have been on a winning streak for some time. Suddenly mid game joker changed status to cost me the game.
Made a comment and someone replied back gloating about happy with winning at any means. Definatley game results are being rigged to suit (I would suggest) the developer/s ego!!!

It’s an ok site, but if you are playing euchre be prepared for a lot of stall calls.

This card site is ok if you live in America, but very laggy & slow if playing from other countries often getting disconnected, I did email trickster to ask for advice but got a reply saying "
It looks like you're playing from the UK. We've heard from other UK players that sometimes the app is slow. Our game servers are in the US in Virginia."

So they know other countries have problems and their attitude is.. Tough. No sorry to hear this etc, very frustrating particularly when you have to pay 😡.

I've been playing cards for over sixty years. Based on my experience the delt does not deliver a real game experience.
To me, there seems to be handicapping, and deals tailored to specific games.
It real takes the fun out of it.

Unlike on previous occasions, the website refused to accept my attempt to arrange for a review of hands after each game of Bridge.

I only play euchre on this site but I can honestly say that 9 out of 10 games I play I have no cards in my hand of the card turned up. Many times I have nothing in my hand and I just get euchred over and over to just be a part of the game. Usually I have a hand that I have no way of getting a trick. Just seems weird for me. I wish pogo was still around

Play at your own risk

This platform has become a hub for anger and deceit. Based on my extensive experience, there are individuals "inside" the system or with administrative-level tools who are actively manipulating the game. They change their names at will and control exactly who you play with—often forcing you into games with bots or themselves just to ensure you lose.

The stalking is undeniable. I have tried to escape a harasser by leaving a game, only to be matched with that exact same stalker 12 games in a row. This isn't a coincidence; it is targeted harassment. They even pose as teammates specifically to "throw" the game and enrage you. The partner you think is random is often hand-picked by those pulling the strings.

I discovered several tactics they use to track players:

Friend Requests: They use "friend" status to monitor when you are online and which tables you join.

IP Tracking: When I switched browsers to find fair games, they countered by tracking my IP address to keep me locked in "bot-only" rooms or with their tag-team accounts.

Mocking Names: In response to my profile name "Glitchintherig," I was targeted by accounts named "Youraloser," "Gotya," and "Dontgetmad" "Iplayfair" "Iamthebest" "WWW" "ZZZ".

I am a retired person who has played cards my entire life. I’m not a "computer geek" looking for trouble; I just want a fair game. But even the best players can't beat cheating developers or those capable of manipulating the game’s back-end.

If you want to play a game where the "person behind the curtain" calls all the shots and controls the rules to make you pay, then Trickster Cards is for you. But for everyone else:
You have been warned.

Obviously, they will respond "We don't do this or are not aware of this in any of our games" and "We get many complaints from disgruntled players". Either way my voice gets heard outside of Trickstercards.com.

Stalking is defined as a "course of conduct" (two or more acts) directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to suffer serious inconvenience or emotional distress.

The "12 Games" Pattern: Following you through 12 consecutive lobbies is a textbook example of a course of conduct.

The Emotional Toll: Purposely enraging you and manipulating your environment to make you lose is designed to cause distress.

Harassment involves three or more acts of intimidation or confrontation made with the intent to cause fear or intimidation.

Posing as teammates to sabotage you and using mocking names like "Youraloser" or "Gotya" specifically in response to your profile name falls squarely under intimidation tactics.

Why the "Inside" Aspect Matters

If these are indeed "insiders" (employees or developers), this goes beyond just a toxic player. It could be seen as:

Abuse of Power/Access: Using administrative tools to track a user's IP or "matchmake" them into a trap is a massive violation of digital ethics and potentially the game's own Terms of Service.

Cyberstalking: Using technology to track your movements across browsers and different sessions.

I want to be clear: I am a former account holder on this platform. I only stopped using my official account once I realized how deep the deceit goes and how the 'person behind the curtain' manipulates the games. I chose to walk away from my profile because I refused to support a crooked system.
I get all this without an account playing as a mere guest, Incredible. Nicely done Trickerster's Finest

Maybe it's because I don't play for money but just for fun that I don't mind the bots and the players who allegedly are not bots. Somebody here wrote that the source code is available online and of coures I went to check if that is true.

3. Is there any source code available?

One Trustpilot reviewer claims:

“source code is available for anyone to read”

But:

No public repository (e.g., GitHub) is widely known or cited
No credible source confirms open-source game logic
The official platform does not advertise itself as open source

👉 So this claim is unverified and likely incorrect or misunderstood

So no source available is the conclusion.
I like to play spades online and this is the website which is the most tranquilo when it comes to ad pop ups, graphics, simple but effective and just not too 2D. Somewhere between the flat 2D versions and the Vegas Casion BS what makes your head spin in seconds.
I like the website but I am not going to play for cash. The house always wins and it's just a shame for the game, because of course the game is rigged when you put in your cash.

The algorithms determine the outcome of games. Trickster says they don’t, but the patterns are clear. If you want a game of skill, this ain’t it, and I wish it were. The graphic presentation is the best on the internet, but the game is rigged.

This company can improve by not fixing the cards, let the chips fall where they may.
You either win for 20 games or lose for 20. I can't count how many hands where an apponent takes 1 trick when you have a perfect hands.

Absolutely hate trying to join up with a game these days!! My husband sends a link to join a game and when I click on it, it turns my name into his name!! Cannot go any further than that!! Absolute rubbish!!! Used to really enjoy this game whilst my husband was away! Just got a message from them saying both my husbands email and mine were the same ..... what a load of shi*t ... why would we do that?? Tried to message SUPPORT back to explain we are not the same email address which the systems says we are but was sent back as "Undeliverable"" !!

Cards are clearly manipulated to ensure certain players win. Tracked distribution for 30 days and there is no way the cards could fall the way they do. Terrible game. Also very slow at times, few players on the site, mostly bots who are absolutely terrible players.

You are either having a lucky hand or an awful hand over and over even if you are a great player. It isn't fair. Especially on a game like 500 which is boring already. If the bots keep getting the hand on 500, you have no way to win. I have asked them to tweak the bots, but it still hasn't happened. It would be much better if you only played humans. I hate playing bots.

This is easily the best platform I’ve found for playing card games like Oh Hell and Hearts but the experience is ruined by the sites manipulation of the hands so that the scoring remains close throughout the games. I can only assume that they believe this makes it more exciting so that people will want to play more but I just find it annoying and frustrating.

Trickster for bridge used to be good. It is ruined now by the ads. I have no objection to ads, but some of them cannot be deleted after a few seconds or even a minute. The only way to get rid of them is to delete the app or even restart the iPad. I’m gonna stop using trickster and will retry in a month when hopefully this problem has been resolved.

Great site to play 500.
I grew up playing 500 but struggle to find people to play it in person these days.
Lots of good players in the compete game.
Plenty of gameplay variations to play your own favourite rules, I just wish they had the correct version of the NZ bidding style available.

Bots could be improved a bit: they don't always call 6 nt to signal joker, they barely ever call misere, they call too low, and they don't block the opposition from winning.

Not sure where all these butthurt people are coming from, complaining about it being rigged. Source code is available for anyone to read.

I am a pro-euchre player from New Zealand & have tested MSN, YAHOO & every other euchre app online for the last 30 yrs, 2025. Trickster is legit. Its just clean cards & tables, no dodgeys, bots ARE getting better always, and no pop-up ads, whether your VIP or not. Players are good when you no them over time!

Randoms @compete tables... hmmm questionable (leave table) 🤔 but overall,

The best app online for free euchre social or competitive.

Love it since YAHOO// MSN was deconstructed for rated games years ago.

VIP for chips, worth it.

But pick your partner!

Historical partners are everything 👌

The difference between losing & euchreing which is the name of the game 😀

I will add to the negative reviews here with details. Take euchre for instance. It is undeniable that some players routinely get more jacks turned up to them, their partner has more jacks, they have more aces, and mysteriously the partner has more trump. ALL THE TIME. And you notice they don't bother to come on sites like this to deny allegations. By the way, an AI bot verified my claims. Sick scum out for a profit.

My family and I don't live in the same city, so we get together pretty much every week to play cards on Trickster. We've been doing this for years and we love the site!
