Ad feed interrupts the games

Post by Bobbi »

Something going on with the way the ads are feeding into the site - it freezes the game. I understand ads are necessary but the delay to the game has gotten worse. It is not my computer - does not happen on other sites/games. Can this be fixed?

What web browser are you using? Any particular ads causing a delay? If so, we will attempt to have them removed from the network.

It's the ads that come in slowly and "run" on the top and side of the screen while playing the games.- using IE - also the new edge browser - edge browser much worse.
Also - on IE - I get notices from my security that some of the add is being blocked do to unsafe content.

Which ad is presenting that  "unsafe content" warning? Can you send a screen grab or take a picture and send to forum@videopoker.com ?

I haven't played at this site for several years. Just came back yesterday. I know I am not silver or gold and have to have the ads, but my screen locks up and sometimes just freezes until I refresh page or just shut down. I had hoped to come back and play here but I don't know. I use IE

It's been like that for years.  It is extremely frustrating.  It definitely makes me come to the site a lot less than I would otherwise.  It's ridiculous trying to play when the game freezes up every single minute.  I can only imagine it is done purposefully in order to squeeze money out of people by "encouraging" them to upgrade their accounts.  What can we do though?  IGT has a monopoly on all the good video poker games!  :)

Glad to hear it is not only me... way too many adds on top and along side of the game that are constantly feeding and interrupting the flow of the game. I think if the adds were stable and not "moving" there wouldn't be so much interference with the feeding of the game itself. It causes frustration - in my opinion it does not draw attention to the add - only away from the site. I couldn't tell you what the adds are - I don't read them - so it really isn't helping the company paying for the ads...

I understand the need for ads, and completely support your efforts, but my Avast keeps blocking some malware every time I visit videopoker.com.Type of infection:JS:redirector-BWW(adw)URL:http://media.fastclick.net/w/pop.cgi?si ... &version=1....
