It took just a year from the moment when ZyngaPokerPlus was launched for all the real money operations to be ceased. Initially the real-money poker site was available to Facebook users from UK, but the performance and interest was so poor that company decided to close down real money games.

Zynga Poker had an enormous success on Facebook and its creators decided to use it's popularity and go into real money games. United Kingdom was supposed to be the first area with real money games available, with expectations to expand if the project was a success. However, as mentioned, both ZyngaPlusPoker and ZyngaPlusCasino shown performance so poor that all the games will be closing down shortly.
Cardschat.com commented about Zynga: “efforts to convert players to real-money gaming were under-marketed and proved to be spectacularly unsuccessful”

Zynga had 32 million registered play money users, and some poker media were even saying that the company can be a cause of second online poker boom - with just a small % of players transferring to real money games the company would be instantly making a fortune.

Zynga released a short statement, in which we can read:
“We are very sorry to announce that ZyngaPlusPoker and ZyngaPlusCasino will be closing shortly,” says the statement. “If you have a balance please log in to withdraw it. If you are having problems logging in you can reset your password or you can always contact us by calling our FREE on 08003767968.”

Their marketing must have blown and they targeted the wrong money. Already too easy to play on other good sites in the UK. Zynga should have just waited to set up shop in the US

I don't know what their real money client was like, but their play money software was painfully awful.

maybe they weren't shady enough. i can imagine in order to set up shop in a country you're going to have to make some dealings with dirty people.
silicon valley isn't exactly the best training ground for going into grey markets - they're smart enough to make money legally, why bother risking their brand by fucking up in an arena that's clearly out of their skillset

Software is a necessity. Make it smooth and seamless, and us dummies will play.

People can give them flak all they want, fact of the matter is - they have business people better than any of us inexperienced assholes. So, it's easy to talk shit from the sidelines.

Sucks. I want any competition vs stars.

Oh

I get it now

This is why Stars invested into Play Money, threw money at Facebook App made it legit transfer rates for real cash and made Greenstein and Moneymaker grind playmoney tourneys.


Zynga'smove must have been a driving force behind that

93% Sure!

Oh yeah, they are pros:


"“I think what’s really surprising about the company right now is that they appear to be making the same mistakes. Launching games too quickly, not doing enough consumer research on their games and pushing them out — the same mistakes that [former CEO] Mark Pincus was making when he was leading Zynga.”"

No one wants to play on a site with a such a stupid name like Zynga

I doubt it's a marketing thing necessarily, if they had a good product people would play there

It seems to be not very profitable in the long run to play those kind of hands. - Gus Hansen

Zynga has proven they are a terrible company and by sheer luck and timing made quick gains in popularity, but their overall products blow ass and i would never buy their stock

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time
