Hello. Thanks for your feedback. We understand how fast-paced formats like Zoom can sometimes feel intense and lead to frustrating swings. All outcomes are determined by certified random number generators, so runouts are completely random. We appreciate your input and are always here if you need any support.

I find it absolutely unfair that players that are not residents in france, portugal or spain are able to play in this server.
We are not able to play in their servers, and this only makes for harder tournaments on our server, because naturaly only the professional players come to play on another server.

Hi Pedro, thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand how this may seem unfair. As you may know, players with .COM accounts can access the .ES platform and join the shared liquidity with France and Portugal, in line with licensing regulations. All such players must still complete verification under Spanish requirements.

We appreciate your feedback and are always working to improve the player experience. If you have any further questions or comments, our Live Chat Support team is always available and happy to listen and assist you.

Excellent support for a technical issue

I had a technical issue trying to redeem my Bronze Power Pass because the interface was showing expired dates from 2025. I contacted support and the agent, Leandro, was very professional and efficient. He understood the bug immediately, escalated the case to the specialist department, and provided a Case ID (167221140). Very happy with the human support, even though the app needs a date update.

Works if it wants.

90% of the time, whatever you click fails to open. Be it slots, table games, bonuses, free spins, chests and so on. Absolutely horrible app. Only thing that keeps me there is that I'm a user from back then when it worked, and it's still thrustworthy nonetheless.
