If one will "cheat" at games in a game room, they will cheat in life as well, so why do it? Can't win them all, can you?
Comment by "FARSCAPEME" — August 11, 2007 @ 3:54 pm
Pssssshhhh ONLY 40? I believe there are more cheaters on here then actual honest players. I've been here for 6+ years and would never see 1 million in the near future. I have also never won one single prize while the cheaters take away many.
By the way check King and Queen out in Bubble Pop. It's amazing that they are always in the lead.
Comment by "skiski79" — August 11, 2007 @ 4:49 pm
Thank you for catching the cheaters on these games. When we see that a person wins 4 times in 7 days, it really makes us stop and think if the site is reliable. I am glad to know you are on top of it. Personally, I have no idea how anyone can cheat. Must be awful smart. Yhank you and keep up the good work.

I am so sorry I spoke my mind but something has to be done to these people who cheat and harrass people all the time I was on the receiving end about a year ago until I got offline when I came back online these people continued to harass me until I finally called the police on them and then I just ignored all of them and didn't chat to anyone I pop the bubbles and thats it thank you again for taking the time to read my comment I hope thengs will change around here for the good this is a wonderful site to play on but the harassment HAS TO STOP
Comment by "nanny" — August 13, 2007 @ 7:41 am
AAAAHAAAa i have your attention! I've asked the question before.

Comment by catshuntingdogs — August 19, 2007 @ 12:11 am
grats on catching cheaters…….it might be easier to catch them if you limited one winner per household per week. then they (the cheaters) would have to find a new addy and a new name along with someone whos willing to cash the check and hand over the dough
Comment by "Jodi" — August 20, 2007 @ 4:33 pm
hi,ihave also been playin since 1998 or 99.but i did finally win 200 in the saturday drawing.so it does happen and i have never cheated.but i do understand it does seem like the same ones win to much.
keep playing
Comment by "bhardin" — August 22, 2007 @ 10:07 pm
I was contacted by email that I won a prize on gamesville weekly drawing. I was requested to send personal info which I did and now no one will answer my emails. And the email address for prizes@gamesville has fatal errors. I hope I did not send my personal info to one of these cheaters, that would be a mess for me. What is the point of cheating anyway. Surely it takes more time to cheat than to really play.
Comment by "judithsills" — August 23, 2007 @ 6:20 pm
Hi, I was wondering if you where going to take fairlight8 off the tip top solitaire game as the all time score seeing as they have been banned from the site for im taking it cheating. I knew something was up when I play the game all the time and its imposible to get a score like that. Its not fair for the rest of us that do not cheat not getting the chance at the all time score. Thanks Cindy
Comment by cindylou4516 — August 26, 2007 @ 11:21 pm
JUDITH, it sounds like you fell for scam. If you clicked a link in the Email, I probably took you to a scam site, and by now your identity has been stolen.
Keep an eye on your credit rating, if you still have that mail, forward it to gamesville. If it's truly from them, great. If you live in the US, you can put a freeze on the credit information. IF you gave out PERSONAL info (SS#, credit card)… I really feel for you.
Comment by "Toothedfly" — August 26, 2007 @ 11:40 pm
never never give personal info when replying to an e-mail…scams look so good when the winnings look so good.
Comment by phillyreims — August 27, 2007 @ 3:16 pm
Thanks for doing a great job on keepin up with the cheaters.. it's nice to know that it'll be a little better now for the honest people who are here to have fun and get away from cheaters in reality.. thanks again..

Comment by tiger291950 — August 28, 2007 @ 4:03 pm
Is this why some people are able to get scores in the tens of thousands on Magic 21? Cause I don't see how else you get a score that high.
Thanks
Comment by "lari77" — August 30, 2007 @ 12:19 am

Comment by "grandma639" — September 1, 2007 @ 11:21 pm
honestly i have been playing for awhile myself hours and days and nights and not one toime have i won a thing..close only to be dropped or the same people win… is this game site fraud? maybe the cheaters are the only one to be checked.. sorry sound so rude but this is what iam beginning to believe or is it affiliates with gamesville that win is another question in my mind …. until the say i win is probably the day i will stop disbelieving

When playing Magic 21 Jackpot won 1140 gv reward points but only recieved half of that. In one game only won 90 gv reward points and only received half of those. Someone playing Magic 21 Jackpot must be using cheating software. Should look into that game also.
Comment by "lynn61611" — September 9, 2007 @ 4:08 pm
I really enjoy playing magic 21 & miami dice, i dont think people are getting anyones points,but maybe a lil glitch in program., or over loaded for a lil bit…doesnt let u get your points…enough on that…curious tho,at the end of the game on magic 21……it talks about redeeming your gv's for entry's for cash prizes and other prizes……what are the other prizes?
Comment by "banditracer13x" — September 12, 2007 @ 5:52 pm
glad to see that you have caught some of the cheaters……..butttt………YOU should realize that there is still some out there…..this one now that is getting 600,000 and more in one day…..???give me a break……..You find someone in gv that can get that many in 24 hrs without CHEATING…….I have been playing in bubble popper 2 for over 3 yrs now and its hard to get over 150,000-200,000 in a day and thats with continous playing ……..keep up the good work and keep catching them………wonder why their names are still on all time high and daily high now guess these are not ones you caught……….the all time high right now is a known cheater but still there …..oh well some get by with crap all the time……….
Comment by "lakeportrose" — September 15, 2007 @ 6:37 pm
Its about time something was done about the cheaters.A What about the all time high score in bubble popper 2 that is an obvious cheater?A Why is that name still allowed up there?A And as of right this moment we have a cheater in the room now.A A
Comment by stitch1640 — September 15, 2007 @ 10:38 pm
Its so discouraging for those of us who try so hard to earn the daily high score to be beat out by cheaters.A How is it possible to get over 600,000 in a day?A I hardly play gamesville anymore because of the cheaters.A They take the fun out of playing.A I played for a little while today but seeing the daily high score after only having played for a few hours discouraged me I am off to my other site to play there again.A
Comment by stitch1640 — September 15, 2007 @ 11:05 pm
there are a lot of cheats in the euchre room you can tell by how slow they play its not good enough , and i would like to no now when i play the bots they are the best cheats i have ever seen how is it they can take off me 51 pionts a game if i losethat is very bad we are getting sick of it thank you david smith
Comment by "david smith" — October 8, 2007 @ 7:10 am
Now i knew someone who found one of those programs and he used it and got caught and i let someone get on my name to try it (stupid idea i know). but he never cheated when he came to money he was just tired of gv's that came with the game
Comment by "hate" — December 1, 2007 @ 5:06 pm
I see everyone complaining about cheaters in euchre , miami dice , and magic 21 . I do not see anyone complaing about spite and malice . I have never ever cheated and to my there is no program that allows you to cheat and I hope that is true . However I have been accused of cheating in this game and as I said I do not cheat never have . I know there has been times that I have wondered if there were such a program , I have won several games in a row like 9 games in a row , but there are some ppl whom I have played against , and yes it is punishment tome lol , who have won like 20 or more in a row . I often wonder whether or not those who are on the top 10 who have found some way to cheat , I think since you changed the way everyone plays in spite and malice maybe you should erase the board and let everyone start anew that would be very nice . This would give us all a better chance at hitting the board or maybe what you could do is erase it every week giving different people a chance at getting on there .
Thanks for letting me have my say

On the topic of cheating. It obviously was not necessary for me.

I just played a game of spite and malice , and at the start of the game a guy laid 9 cards down , how is that possible when u onlyget 7 to play with and he had none in his reserve as I stated it was start of game , he laid 3 aces , two 2's a 3, 4 , 5 then put an 8 in his reserve , how is that possible to start game off with that many cards ?

would like to comment on tip top solitaire, the games starts out with,9500 the timer counts down as your playing even with bonus points,it is impossible to end up with a score of 28000 which is the score right now, it would make you wonder. even with a lot of bonus points the most you can get in one gameplay is about 22000.
Comment by broomy8085 — September 5, 2008 @ 2:07 pm
Was it a bot> I often notice that bots get more than 7 cards at the start of a game.

Comment by girlygirly81 — July 25, 2009 @ 3:48 pm
I have been using this site for years and i liked euchre and poker.
i coudnt get on euchre sites when i wanted plus it pays low gvs.
i switched to poker because it was fun and better gvs.
i had more than 100000 gvs plus i had more than 1500pts on the
notebook. i have never cheated. i would like my gvs and points toward the notebook back.
thank you
email me if u have questions
Comment by jonesgoesalone — October 27, 2009 @ 5:02 am
adding to my comment.
i worked very hard for those points.
now i am locked out of gamesville for doing nothing but playing hard with the rest of them. re vamp
Comment by jonesgoesalone — October 27, 2009 @ 5:08 am
Does this include yourselves. I have been on your games and got booted just as I was winning. I have seen my G V s go down ( by 1ks) after playing a game in which I just earned G V s..
