Poor experience on website Replay Poker

[Marmaduke]

I want to share my experience on Replay Poker, so other players can have a clear picture before joining.

I’ve played on the site for some time, and like many players, I’ve often encountered extremely slow players — the kind who take the full timer on every hand. It kills the flow of the game and makes the experience frustrating. Even more common are bingo players, who play purely for fun, making random moves and contributing to chaotic, unpredictable tables.

One day, after several hands ruined by slow play, I expressed frustration in the chat.
No insults. No personal attacks.
Just a comment about the pace of the table.

A few minutes later, I received a formal warning for “rude impatience.”

Meanwhile, slow players and bingo players — whose actions disrupt the game — remain unchecked. The moderation system even suggested I “report” slow players individually, which is ironic given how obvious and frequent the problem is.

I fully understand the need for moderation and community guidelines.
But receiving a warning for expressing frustration — while disruptive behaviours from other players continue without consequence — felt unfair, inconsistent, and disproportionate.

At that point, I lost trust in the moderation system and chose to close my account. Not out of anger, but out of principle.

I hope this feedback helps other players understand what to expect and encourages the platform to address issues that affect the quality of play.

As for using the clock - Replay Poker or any other site - IMO, what is not forbidden is allowed - the clock is there to give the player the time limit for their action they cannot exceed. There can be many reasons they use it - they need to think, they can play several tables, sometimes it can be their strategy etc. I personally got irritated more by players texting or using emote to "hurry up" than by those who take the time they need. Of course reporting someone because he asked to play faster is another thing, I would never do that if it was not rude.

As for "bingo players" - well, it is related to "play money" - unfortunately if it is completely free, some people won't take it seriously, do not consider training real poker and so on, just shove and have "fun"? instead? I do not really understand this kind of "fun" but it is what it is.

You received a warning and not even a chat ban? This made you close your account and put this WOT on multiple poker forums?

Unfortunately not up to you what other people do with their cards. And its a playmoney site so not sure why u would expect some high level plays.

Lets hope u will get over it one day👍

The issue is not the warning itself — I don’t care about that.

What made me leave is the fact that on Replay, bingo play, constant all-ins, and intentional slow play are left completely unchecked, while players who actually try to play proper poker are the ones getting warned.

That’s the part that’s hard to take seriously.

When disruptive behaviour goes unmoderated and honest players are the ones who get flagged, the message is pretty clear: the site prefers chaos over table integrity.

And yes, it’s a play-money site — but that’s not an excuse to ignore the basics that make poker enjoyable. When every other hand is blind bingo, there is no “game” left, and no room for real decisions. Some people might enjoy that; I don’t.

I’m simply sharing my experience where it’s relevant. That’s what community feedback is for.

Anyway, I’ve already moved on to another platform, so no hard feelings — just calling things as they are.

no reason to get upset, or even to close your account, but thats up to you.

Hmm ok. That's probably why u posted on multiple sites already. Because u actually dont care about that warning issued.

The site cant do anything against the points mentioned by you. Yes people who timebank are annoying (and i wish there would be a solution for it but there is not) but in the end its their timebank and they can play their cards however they want.

That’s the part that’s hard to take seriously.

Again: its not up to you or the site to decide how people play their cards. If you want to play normal poker why did u choose a playmoney site where people trying to have fun? Go buy-in somewhere for real money and there u have your "game". You didnt enjoy what u saw? Total bummer, feelsbadman.jpeg 😥

Yes and i simply comment on your feedback which is quite frankly pretty odd. And i rate replay pretty low myself but for real reasons.

Anyway, I’ve already moved on to another platform, so no hard feelings — just calling things as they are.

Ok. No, you are calling things how you see them and not how they actually are. There is a big difference in personal perception and reality.

Good luck 👍

BTW I started my poker adenture with Replay. After about a month I was winning both in cash game and in tournaments. Being complete fish, learning poker, playing total basic game with a lot of mistakes. Obviously something was wrong - play money is just not the place you can learn real poker. So I moved to micro, but for real cash - it's completely different.

Haven't you considered that there are players who play on multiple tables at the same time? The room gives you a certain amount of time to act, and you can't exceed that. What's the problem?

If you get bored waiting, do what I do all the time - multitask.

Those are the types of behaviors that would be expected in play money games. There would be no repercussions for the players since they are not breaking any rules.

I know the people who run that site and they are amazing.

We use the site to play a lot of our games. You should check out our community games there. They are private for our members and you would have a much better experience in those games.

Good morning everyone
Although it's incredibly annoying, it's part of the game. This happens in football and other sports, not just online games. Opponents, or sometimes the entire team, often slow down the pace of the game.
It's a strategy that unsettles players and frustrates opponents, making them unfocused and ultimately easier to outmaneuver or defeat.
It's a strategy of disrupting the opponent's mood; you have to prepare for it and adapt to it in order to survive or win. I think in some cases we are also forced to use this strategy, especially when facing opponents of this type or aggressive ones in order to annoy, frustrate, and distract them.
Mood is an integral part of most games, and controlling it leads to victory.
Good luck
