Playing Canasta wih frozen pile

I opened up one the Canasta Badge gifts today. It says I have to win when the pile is frozen. I played to over 5000 points and nearly won every game (except one I believe) with the pile frozen and did not get credit. Am I doing something wrong. Could not find any info on this.

    customize the game to your liking, don't click Play Bots as that comes with pre-set options that cannot be changed.

    To change your options, click "Get Started" under "Find A Friend."
    Next, click "Create a Table."
    At the top of the screen you will see Table Settings and Game Settings.
    You can choose to play with the robot or with real people.

    After you select your table settings, click Game Settings.
    Put a checkmark next to"Players Cannot Pick Up Discard Pile" if you want to play with a frozen pile.
    Near the bottom you will see "Cards drawn from the stock pile" and "Canastas Required To Meld Out."
    Select the options you like.

    I am also having problems. I am doing this badge late. I have followed the table rules and checked the frozen pile can't be picked up. I still am not getting credit when I win a game. Please help!

  • I would only add that when it says win a freeze pile game, it means not in a hand, but 1 freeze pile per game. You will get 1 credit after the entire game is completed. Thank you for your advice. Once I saw this post of yours, I breezed right through the badge.
