Yes pokerrooms been acused of fraud in the past.leomarinho said:
Neither of these scandals were about a "manipulated platform". One was, as you say, a Ponzi-like scheme (meaning deposits were put at risk), and the other was a case of some employees cheating in the game. A similar scandal has also happened recently on GG Poker, with the only difference being, that the cheaters were not working for GG Poker but were somehow able to hack into the system and see equities before showdown.G0930 said:
Never played much at Full-Tilt so actually didn't have any money on their when that went down but enjoyed watch the epic battles between the high stakes guys. What I time to be alive man. Tons of respect for Pokerstars for that move as they didn't have to do nothing. Sad how Pokerstars ended up after being sold but still the site I trust and respect the most partly for this plus my 21+ year history there with zero issues.G0930 said:

. This forum has pretty decent players in it's freerolls. Tbf my sample size in both freerolls and buy-in events is pretty small only recently in the past year started playing there.

Its players cheating not the site itself being rigged or “manipulated”.G0930 said:
In any game someone has to win, does the winner have something special 🤔 or are we getting into incredible theories? You know...Snake2007 said:
Do you mean that its actually rigged or are you referring to the way a game plays in comparison to in real life because it is a simulation? For example straights feel way more likely to happen on online platforms than in real life but this is purely anecdotal coming from meleomarinho said:
What?moraeskvmi said:
I didn't understand it eitherSunz of Beaches said:
I'm referring to the possibility of manipulating the integrity of the game, not the fact that it's a simulation. As for bad beats and unlikely hands, many people feel that they happen more online, but personal impressions can be influenced by the enormous volume of hands played and the fact that each hand is recorded and easier to rememberMagnacarta said:
Oh 100% it's in some games. I mainly play MTT's only on WPT tried cash and I'm not a big 6 max play and full-ring WPT makes you pay an ante every hand.....not doing that for full-ring that's just paying more rake for no reason what so ever which as long as it's that way I'll never play WPT full-time and only ever play part-time and rarely for that reason. I'm simply not stupid enough to pay more rake when I don't have too.G0930 said:
