How do the challenges work?
Challenges are missions that players can complete while playing and gain experience and coins .
Challenges can be daily or weekly. They are renewed at 6:00 GMT every day or every week if they are complete or have expired.
Click on the Challenges tab in the bottom menu to see all available challenges.
If a player leaves the game, the challenges cannot be completed.
Is it possible to play individually or in other game modes?
Several games like Dominoes or Uno classic are played in pairs because we believe it's more fun to play as a team and you have a better chance of winning.
The game modes are selected according to their popularity and the duration of the games.
However, if you would like to play a different game mode, please send a message to Maria PlayJoy so she can write down your suggestions.
Do you rig the games anyhow?
No. Never. No way. The aim of PlayJoy is that people compete, have fun and have a good time. We have no interest in rigging the games.
We neither favor nor harm any player. “Luck” is still “luck” even when it comes to digital games.
We try that all games are played with people. If a player loses connection or is called by phone, a bot will replace him/her in order not to block the game.
- Bots have no control over the dice or the card dealing.
- People usually play better and have a higher win rate than bots.
Coins
What are the coins? How can I get coins?
The coins are used to play PlayJoy games and win better rewards. With coins, you increase your player experience, demonstrate your skills and level up faster.
Very soon, you will also be able to get incredible articles and many other things.
Coins should not be confused with the experience points that each game has. For more information on how to score in a specific game, check out their rules.
How can I get coins?

- Play every day to get free coins
- Join the Club and enjoy exclusive benefits such as free coins every month

If you run out of coins, you can buy as many as you need in our store.

The PlayJoy coins are not real money and they cannot be exchanged for it.

Why the games sometimes seem to be slower?
You may be experiencing lag in your internet connection. This is a delay in the communication between your device and the game server. This delay can be unpleasant as the game or chat may take several seconds to respond.
If the waiting time is very high, the server can kick you out due to inactivity.
To improve the connection:
- Use a high-speed WiFi or wired connection (if you play on a computer).
- Move closer to the wireless router to improve the WiFi connection.
- If you play with your cell phone, make sure you have good coverage and avoid moving around.
- Your phone's Battery Saver mode may reduce gaming performance. Disable it for an optimal gaming experience.
I missed the connection while playing...
Most games allow the player back to the game again immediately, in case of missing connection or phone call. Meanwhile, you will be replaced by a bot.
- If you take too long to return to the game, you may not be able to continue playing.
The possible causes for losing connection while playing are diverse and complex as well as internet is. For example:
- The communication with the server is very slow (lag) and the server has kicked you out due to inactivity.
- Your connection has suffered an outage. This is common in slow or with poor coverage connections.
- Sometimes one of the servers may be down due to maintenance or technical problems. Wait a few minutes and press the reconnect button.
