Why will Zynga Poker no longer be on Facebook?

Facebook is sunsetting its "Canvas" gaming platform, and this affects the game on Facebook. Fret not, as you can still play our game on ZyngaPoker.com and on mobile! When you make the leap to mobile, you’ll also receive a special welcome reward.

What is Facebook Canvas, and why is it shutting down?

For many years, our game has lived on a part of Facebook called the Canvas. This was a special "window" in your web browser that allowed our game to run smoothly while you played on Facebook. Facebook has decided to retire the Canvas platform on September 30, 2026. 

Will I lose my progress?

Not at all! Your progress, Chips, and buddies are all tied to your account. To ensure you keep your progress, when you log in to ZyngaPoker.com or on the mobile app, you’ll log in using your same credentials, and everything should be exactly how you left it.

Help! The game won't load on Facebook anymore. Did I lose everything?

Don't worry, your progress is safe. Due to changes with Facebook, Canvas is no longer available. Your account is ready and waiting for you on ZyngaPoker.com or on the mobile app. All you need to do is visit our website or download Zynga Poker from the App Store or Google Play, log in with the same credentials, and you’ll pick up right where you left off.

Why should I play on the mobile app?

Downloading the mobile app has its benefits, and you can play it on-the-go wherever you are and enjoy new features such as Lightning Leagues and Lucky Hand! You’ll also receive a special bonus reward in your inbox as a welcome surprise.

I played on Facebook before, but I want to use my new email address.

If you log in with an email that is different from the one on your Facebook account, you will start as a "New Player." To keep your original progress, please make sure to "Login with Facebook" or use the exact same email associated with your Facebook profile.
