there is a bug associated with this game your tech support told me I had to report it here. I am winning games and my rating is going down. [removed] fix the problems

I have not seen such a major problem with any of the games that persisted so long and no solution in sight. My theory is that maybe POGO does not see it as a problem. They purposely created this "bug" in order that there could never be a need for players to GET competitive. How could one ever feel the competitive edge if you never know what your rating will be when you begin to play, or when you come back the next day? No stress now when I lose, who cares. Either POGO takes my points or my last opponent does when he clearly has a fabulous cheat game that you don't stand a chance against. Sadly the fun game was taken away from us and it looks like we will have to live with this ridiculous new system.
I agree completely, but it doesn't make it less annoying, especially since it only happens to SOME people, not ALL players. Lost 170 rating points in 2 days.
This happens to me daily. I thought I was the only one. It is soooo frustrating because I love this game.
I am trying to get my badge on Canasta.. Collect 16 frozen piles, you have to win the game to get them.. I have won the games and picked up frozen piles but it is not giving me any credit
tired of this issue - i pay good money to play canasta - main reason i stay with pogo - but losing points every time i win - absolutely unacceptable..Its a problem they really need to fix - or are all the programmers useless ?
Agree on all that you said. Been going on for months. They issue new games all the time, yet haven't made any effort to fix the many rating/ranking issues. I propose that they no longer rate. Just count wins and losses. If you leave a game, it counts as a loss. Simple. Forget the red 3 counts as they're out of control anyway.
So almost two more months have passed and the point problem is not resolved. Somewhat improved overnight (happens less often) but I am losing points now when I win as well as when I lose. I just beat two opponents with higher ratings than I by 1000 points each and lost 28 rating points and 39 rating points in those wins. You have done nothing and you're just stringing us along, hoping we'll disappear. In my case anyway, I'm done when the virus is better. EA is nothing but a money-grubbing organization. Disgusting and unfair.
Thank you for posting this comment/ question!!! I started looking through help to figure out why the heck this exact thing keeps happening to me!! I play, I win, score initially shows as up (before the game at the end) BUT.... when I leave after the game is over and start a new table, my score has magically changed and is LOWER than is was before I played at all. This is driving me crazy. I have tried every single possible combo for leaving the canasta table after the game ends to return to the main pogo home site OR to any site for that matter without this ridiculous glitch and it STILL happens. It is like the game forces us to play forever with no end in site to not lose points! Someone fix this!!! Make the exit / leave/ return to main pogo site clearer options with some statement (if you click this you will forfeit and lose point, etc...) when applicable. I should not be FURTHER behind in points after winning a game! Driving me nuts
