I know this has been discussed before and denied, but I've been playing too many games and see it happen almost every time. Premium players are getting the rolls they need, the cards they need, and always have the resources that they need when they need them. It's happening too often to be coincidence. It's like BGA lets your ELO get to a certain point then show you how you don't even have a chance to win unless you pay up. I've lost over 200 points of ELO in the past two days while watching this garbage happen. If they think that this behavior will drive people to pay, it's not working on me and I know I'm not alone. I'm probably going to delete my account since playing games is no fun if you don't have a fair chance.

Because there are literally zero examples of this.

Coming from a premium member, I think I'll take that with a case of salt. Too many people are seeing what I'm seeing.

Let me guess ... another Yahtze player with an actual win rate of ~50%?

Oh great, so I guess I can't chime in here to state my opinion, as I'm a premium member too

So many posts like this one. No proof at all, statistics actually show quite the opposite. So please, just don't go this route ...

Easy solution: become a premium member. You don't need to pay for it, there are gift points, you know...

But there is only one bias here: rolls and cards always favour other players. They're always premium players (as an incentive to pay for premium), or non-premium players (as a lure, so they stay in the site and eventually pay for premium), or high-ranked players (to keep them happy so they continue playing), or low-ranked players (to even out the chances and make the game more interesting), or people from Korea, or Serbia, or Costa Rica, or Madagascar...

Looks like they deleted their account.

Oh no, clearly they proved their point by deleting the account.

Its clear that the premium accounts have a different treatment. More the luck Is involved in the games (dices, cards, etc), easier It Is to notice It. The point Is that a system like this, which should spread love for games, Is actually betraying the basic rules of gaming. If they only could admit It, instead of underlining that the premium account Is Just a "contribution", It would at least be more honest.

Should I get a refund? Because I lost this game of Yahtzee to a standard account.

How do I activate the better dice rolls?
