EA Pogo Canasta program glich or Unethical Player with Cheat Program?

at approx. 8:40 AM (EST) Wednesday 4/27/22, I was playing Ranked Canasta.  Once my score exceeded my opponent my screen showing a blank screen with a box that said "Still connected to the internet?" click "yes" or "quit / restart".  Of course I thought this was weird, but clicked yes, went back to game, for one move, only for this message to pop back up, same response then same reponse, I click yes still connected, it goes away, game moves one turn, and it pops us again.  Only now my opponent has all four red 3's and it happens again.  Suddenly my screen boots me out of Pogo.  I try to get back in and all sorts of trouble loading.  I ended up having to 'restart' my entire computer.  Then old data tabs loaded.  Please let me know if this is a EA POGO technical issue or and Unethical Player using a cheat program as soon as the opponent scores a few more points.  

Second, now that I have your attention. Can you make two Canasta options on the ranked page?  One with the normal time limit you have of approx 1 minute 15 secnds or such, and another option for FAST players who move within 35-45 seconds?  It's not fun playing the people who wait out the time clock to the last 10 seconds before making a move.  I get people are learning, or taking time to write everything down to strategically make a move with the remaining 6 or 7 cards in their hand, but for those who wish to keep the game moving, could there be a FAST playing option so the computer links those players together?  Thanks for reading and responding.  Kind Regards,

  • I am a long time player of pogo canasta and am done - for good --- I am a good canasta player, and in three weeks, playing daily, numerous times a day, not one winning hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The four red 3s always go to my opponent, all the wild cards go to the opponent, it is so freaking rigged, its sickening

    Three freaking weeks of playing every day, several times a day and not one single win in three weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a b.S. Game - its rigged to favor the higher scoring player - no sooner than the cards are dealt, my opponent gets 4 red 3s and then goes out - you cant freaking tell me something is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Sick to death of this b.S. Game - its skewed and rigged and u cant tell me otherwise

    I reported a player for violent threatening speech toward me during a game - next day I get the same person as an opponent, so what the hell are you doing to treat customers the way they are supposed to be treated - I pay to play this damn game and it is freaking rigged and u cant tell me that for 3 freaking weeks, playing several times a day that my opponent always gets the 4 red 3s and the winning hand, over and over and over again for weeks

    Cancel my damn account - you people make me sick - do something about your screwed up programming that is so one sided it is disgusting

  • I have the same thing happening to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Three freaking weeks of losing every game, never once getting 4 red 3s -- for 3 weeks, playing several ti,mes a day, not one win in over 3 weeks - what a b.S. Game

    Its all programmed for the higher scoring person to always win the game - no sooner do the cards get dealt. My opponent gets all 4 red 3s and then goes out after his first turn

    Done with this b.S, game - sickening that it is so rigged

    And my computer does the same thing - when I start scoring, my screen does something funny and I am temporarily out of the game - when I come back in, the opponent has scored alot -

    These people are frauds with this game - its disgusting

    @dressrdr2021 I couldn't agree more! This is happening to me all the time! Pogo has changed over the years. It used to be fair and now it's ridiculous! I have subscribed for over 15 years and I guess they don't give a damn. Sorry it's happening to you too.

    I agree, If I am winning they let the timer run out, but the timer does not end the game. I end up losing. There is no place to block these players.

    From there they will look into the report and take the appropriate action if needed, as there is no additional information or support we can offer on AHQ I will be closing this thread.
