So if you believe that online poker is rigged...

What would be your proving point? Personally in the case of pokerstars, the fact (not sure if they changed or not) but they don't offer rakeback... To anyone who doesn't know what rakeback is its basically the houses profit out of putting a table for everyone to play on. its like for every 10$ thats in the pot the house gets 1$.

but when sites have rakeback you basically get that money back at the end of the month they rake from you or a % of it. since pokerstars is the biggest site it doesn't surprise me that they don't offer rake back and you see some of the most interesting hands on that site, like straight flush beating another straight flush or quads over quads. more money in the pot ='s more money for them.

I don't trust online poker sites very much either. I think they are there just to take your money out of your poker or bank account. It is still fun to play small amounts of money online though.

I do not think it is rigged at all. There may be one or two sites but for the majority the sites are not. You probably would only say that once you start losing so it is just being sore.

I personally wouldn't gamble online, though I've known people who do. It's hard enough trusting online providers to begin with.

There really is no way to prove that it's not just dumb luck or bad luck. Without the coding to back you up, you're just talking into the wind

For the most part, I do not believe its rigged. There are too many enforcement agencies to completely destroy them if it is. PartyPoker is suspected of helping newbies but its unproven. If you think about it, the house takes a rake regardless of who wins, so there no point in rigging.

It is Inevitable.

I think rigging is inevitable,cos sites like to make more money.No matter what happens house wins.It might not always support the best playing guy.They might support a person who is not playing well too,to keep him in the game.
