VIP Poker - Texas Holdem 17+

I’ve read some reviews that the playing is rigged to get losers to buy more chips. I’ve been playing over a year and I’m within 10% of the amount of chips I originally purchased. I just won 10 out of 15 hands I played, doubled my buy in amount and quit.
You can really rake it in if they’re bad players at the table. With pairs showing there’s good chance someone has 3 of a kind, but a player with 2 pair will bet like crazy and lose.
Would have rated 5 stars but haven’t found a link to “ special” ways to play - if you’re winning there’s a way to bank your winning chips without leaving the table. Haven’t found a source with instructions on how to do this. Good luck

Simplicity is good in these days of over-gamified cartoon-heavy cleavage-dealer poker nonsense. It’s just straightforward and I like that. The visual design is great, and I especially like the look of the face cards. Playing real people is also Great. But there could be more/better features like gifting, mucking, names longer than 10 characters, avatar uploads, and most importantly for me - permanent on-screen chat.
Currently I think the character limit on-screen is about 25 characters, so your message gets cut off - but the rest of it is in a very hidden chat stream, which you can’t pin to the screen. Trying to type anything longer usually means your turn interrupts you and the autocorrect is so aggressive it becomes gibberish. And it censors regular non-offensive words (very) randomly: Tonight I discovered that “u keep” becomes “u*****p”. Why? I have NO idea. Try it, it’s nutty.
Look, trash talk and/or conversation is part of the game, and here’s where VIP poker fails hard. You don’t have to be mean or use swears to do it, so I dunno why VIP decided to kill any semblance of a functional chat widget, and it’s making me sad. I can see this app getting boring after a while, which isn’t what ‘simple’ has to be.

My dad is getting older and I bought him an a tablet years ago hoping that he would it to download apps to challenge his mind but he doesn’t want to use it for hardly anything but playing this outdated and simplistic game.
What makes it worse is that he must be horrible at playing it because he usually loses all or most of his chips.
He usually can’t remember how many chips he has from day to day so I’ll try to win him some without him knowing. Sometimes I’m not able to so then I have to buy chips to help him out.
I can’t buy chips on his account because he’s on a fixed income and he would go crazy if there was a charge for purchasing chips. I’m guessing and at least for me, I’ve notice purchasing chips will cause a lot more losses since they know the people who purchase chips will purchase more when they have lost all of there chips versus the people who play and never purchase chips.
Well I wasn’t doing any harm to anyone but purchasing chips for my elderly dad but now they’ve decided to “crack down” on a major threat to society so now I can’t donate money to them.
Do you really think I’m the loser here?
Well anyway if you want to check if I’m right or not, purchase some chips and just see if from now on there is a built in algorithm that greatly increase your odds of losing much more often than you do now.
I’ll just need to check my Apple Pay history to find the amount I’ve paid so they can reimburse me
Good luck
