All sites use some variation of a random number generator, there really is no other way to go about it without the entire hand already being predetermined, which would obviously be a huge problem. All online casino games are this way, as are electronic slot machines and video poker machines.

As far as the constant shuffle vs random shuffle. It doesn't matter. You will see some bad players complain that the constant shuffle is bad because it isn't how real poker is played or that it is all a matter of when you actually click the button, but who cares when it is truly a random card, whether you have regular shuffle online, constant shuffle with 5 seconds, constant shuffle with 10 seconds, or real life shuffling. The only way that it would make a difference one way or another would be if you were stacking the deck to your advantage. About 5 years ago, friends and I would play a variation of poker we made up(drinking game) that we would shuffle as much as we wanted throughout the hand being played. Same randomness, but constantly changing...

If you know much about programming, you will no that there really is no such thing as a truly random number. There is an algorithm for all RNGs and they can all be broken down. Albeit some are much better than others, but there is a method to how they come up with it. Just look at how hackers were beating the casino's video poker machines in the 90's......
