    Completed an offer on ********* for a game this company distributes but never got credited money for finishing it. Messaged swagbucks but they couldnt help since theyre just the middle guy. Researched online and other people have had the same problem with their Zynga poker game not tracking or paying out when reaching certain offers. Completed levels 800 and 1000. Offer was supposed to pay out a total of $85. Would like to see this issue resolved for the time wasted playing the game when they dont pay out, especially for the other people that have also had the same issues.

    I am rejecting this response because:
    Clearly these game companies do not talk or work with the companies they use to advertise their games. Clearly Zynga makes the rules or objectives for these websites like swagbucks or any offerwall website to distribute them to their respected clients. When clients finish objectives to these goals, there should be a way for either swagbucks or Zynga to approve these completions, especially Zynga since they have the data to prove you have met the certain criteria that they have made. Apparently there is an issue with tracking which is why it didnt automatically award the goals but Ive messaged swagbucks and they cant seem to help me. Furthermore proving my point why there should be better communications between these companies if theyre putting out offers when they cant even honor them when someone completes them. 
    Sincerely,

    On Monday, March 24, 2025, my Apple card was charged $21.99 ($23.58 total) for $1,500,000 coins on Spades Plus. I did not make this purchase and did not authorize the charge. Additionally, no coins were deposited into my Spades Plus account. My ********************** ID is ***********. I contacted Zynga, Inc Customer Support and informed the representative **** *. that I did not make any purchase for iTunes or for Spades Plus on March 24, 2025. I attached a screenshot of the charge on my Apple card and a screenshot of my Spades Plus coins balance and asked Nisa to please review my purchase history against Spades Plus coins deposits. No coins were deposited into my Spades Plus account after or around the time when the unauthorized charge was made on March 24, 2025. I informed Nisa that an unauthorized charge was made to my Apple card for coins on Spades Plus (I dont know why Nisa referenced iTunes in her message to me). I reiterated that I did not make the purchase and have no knowledge of how the purchase occurred. Additionally, no coins were deposited into my Spades Plus account for the purchase.Nisa asked that I check to confirm that the purchase was not made on another account. I replied and told Nisa that I do not have any other Spades Plus or ******** account. I also told her that I live alone and no one else has access to my phone to make the unauthorized purchase.Nisa has not since responded and I have not heard back from Zynga, Inc. regarding my refund request.

    Subject:** Unfair Account Ban and Denial of Refund for ************************** Name:** Zynga **** Issue Date:** March 28, 2025 *Explanation:** I am filing this complaint regarding the wrongful banning of my account on **101 Okey Plus** by Zynga. On **March 28, 2025**, my account was permanently banned without any valid reason. *Details of the Issue:** - I was playing in a high-stakes game where my opponent asked me to leave the game and let them win. I refused and continued playing. - Despite not violating any rules or engaging in any unfair activity, I was banned mid-game without explanation. - Zyngas support team provided **contradictory responses** about the reason for my ban. Initially, they claimed that my account was banned due to simultaneous logins, which I never performed. - I have sent numerous emails and tickets to Zynga support over the last several days, but I have received only automated responses or no response at all. **Financial Loss:** - My account contained a large amount of virtual assets, including: - ******** tickets** valued at approximately*$2,500 USD.** - **3.3 billion chips** valued at approximately **$3,300 USD.** - I have spent **real money** to obtain these assets, and Zynga has refused to refund or compensate me for the value of these purchases Request:** I am requesting that Zynga: 1. **Reinstate my account** as I have not violated any rules. 2. If account reinstatement is not possible, **refund the real monetary value of my in-game assets** to my bank account, which I have provided to their support team. *Legal Notice:If this issue is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to take further action, including: - Filing a *lawsuit for financial and emotional damages - Pursuing **further compensation** for the time and resources spent attempting to resolve this issue I expect Zynga to take this matter seriously and provide a fair resolution. Thank you.** ***** ******* Zynga ID: ***********

    I am rejecting this response because:
    **Dear Better Business Bureau,**  

    Thank you for your response regarding my complaint (ID: ********* against Zynga, Inc. I have reviewed their reply, but it is **not satisfactory.**  

    Zynga has indeed unbanned my account, but they have completely **wiped out my chips and tickets.** When I contacted their support, a representative named **Seyma** responded in a dismissive and unprofessional manner, essentially mocking me by suggesting that I should just **collect the daily bonus** instead of addressing my rightful claim.  

    This response is unacceptable. Zyngas wrongful ban already caused me losses, and now they are refusing to restore what was taken from me. I demand a proper resolution, not vague statements or unhelpful advice.  

    Please advise me on the next steps to escalate this matter further.  

    **Best regards,**

    Zynga made this Fairway Fortune game in the Golf Rival game.The link of the game is: ******************************************************************************* By the description, it is supposed to be a game of luck. However, after playing more than 5000 rounds, the statistics do not make sense.I can see that the outcome is not randomly generated. It is rigged. It has nothing to do with my luck. It is all about what they allow me to get. I could get five broken clubs on level 2 in five consecutive rounds. Come on, the stats simply dont make sense. Zynga simply want the player to lose so that we keep on rebuying the tickets. That's how they make their money.Each round costs 185 gems which is about US$1. Since they are selling the tickets, they are making money and I am not even sure if Zynga has the license to operate a gambling app like this.I have repeatedly voice my concerns through their help & support channel but they ignored me all the time.I need a higher authority to take action and get my refund.I have spent more than ********* gems in this game.

    I am rejecting this response because they made a rigged game which they profited on.

    They labelled is as "fortune" which is misleading. However, the outcome has nothing to do with my fortune or being lucky. They are outright cheating.

    If they can proof that the outcome is random by open sourcing the codes and getting it audited for randomness, I will accept.

    There must he some form of compensation.

    You need to come up with a compensation plan. You know what you have been doing is unethical. Compensating all the affected users is the only way to resolve this matter.

    I will only close this case when the compensation is done. Otherwise, you will continue to ignore just like always.
