I have been ardently against on-line poker for the longest time. Quite frankly, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that stops players for colluding and cheating. Finally, the proliferation of bots on all of these on-line poker sites is astonishing.

In lieu of this quarantine, I decided to go against my better judgment and try this application called Pokerbros. I lost $300 and subsequently deleted it off my phone. This App seemed to be another juiced poker site that rigs the players for action. Everyone always has a pair or a draw on every other flop alongside miraculous overcalls on 4th street just to drill a two outer on the river card. Some will argue variance, luck, more hands played per hour, bad plays, etc. But the shit I've seen go down overall on these underground on-line poker sites leads me to believe that most of them are just one big scam.

I recently met some shady American guy from Las Vegas at a casino outside of the US. He was going on and on about this Pokerbros app and how he is making a killing playing on it. How is he doing this? This poker app has clubs that can be started by just about anyone as far as I know. This jackal told me he had a club and for me to join it. One thing I immediately discovered about this shady guy is that he is a cheater. He uses multiple devices with multiple dedicated IP addresses to multi-table and fleece unsuspecting players. Moreover, it was quite obvious that there were players colluding, chip dumping, and sharing hand info over third-party messenger applications. Pokerbros is a total scam!

After losing 6 $50 buy-in ($300) on this sham of a poker app, I finally deleted the shit off of my phone and will never play on it again. I thought Global Poker was shady, but this garbage app really takes the cake when reeling in unsuspecting poker players to rob them blind of their money.

Correct me if I'm wrong, you met a shady guy and took his advice to play in his poker club via this app and things went bad for you.

How is he doing this.....He is doing it because gullible people are making him money.

I didn't find out all of this until after the fact. According to what I have heard these agents are given a percentage of rake for every player who joins the club and uses their referral code/agent number. This might not be entirely accurate, but this is what I have gathered so far after researching this subject and joining two separate clubs.

When I met this guy at a local live game, he would constantly drone on about Pokerbros and how he was rolling in money every month because of this on-line application. Pokerbros, PPPoker, Global Poker, all of these platforms were previously unknown to me until someone from a live game told me about them.

@Zorba: I agree with your assessment and sentiments. I personally never liked this guy seeing as he immediately struck me as another seedy American residing offshore so as to engage in behaviors that would probably land him in a jail back in the United States. These types of US citizen are a dime a dozen in Colombia.

I have been very compelled to file a dispute with my bank over the $300 that I paid into this Pokerbros app on the basis that I have since discovered the laundry list of way that people can cheat and are cheating on the platform. After I deleted the application, I started mentally replaying the conversation that I had with the aforementioned shady American who spent more time talking about his VPN when, in fact, you do not need a VPN to use the Pokerbros application. That, in fact, this guy has two cell phones and three laptops that he can use to utilize multiple accounts simultaneously, in addition to also racking up money by receiving kickbacks for recruiting new players into his club.

The Bottom line is that people need to simply stay the hell away from on-line poker. I will always reject the argument given by degenerate gamblers that on-line poker sites are way to profitable to be running a gaming platform with colluders, cheaters, superusers, etc. I call bullshit on that defense since the biggest brands in on-line poker have been involved in a myriad of scandal, scams, schemes, never mind these smaller scale sites that appear out of thin air every other year.

There is just too much money involved for anyone to stand there and try and convince me that everything is 100% legitimate. These defenses coming from degenerate gamblers that major on-line poker sites are regulated, that the RNGs used on any given platform are heavily scrutinized, is pure BS. That some government in some 4th world banana republic has issued a seal of approval. A seal of approval that can be purchased for a million dollar from some corrupt official that most likely doubles as their money-launderer on the weekends.

It sounds like the players or the club you played with/on is shady and not the app itself. The app itself does not take in any money for chips and makes its money by selling gems and memberships for more features like rabbit hunting. In other words the app developers do not have any incentive to rig the game in any way.

Just a tip, anyone that tells a stranger (which is what you really are to him) that they are rolling in money and then tells you about an app and gives you a referral code is either bullshitting about rolling in money or trying to scam you, why would anyone give up their source of easy income to a stranger, that doesn't make sense, unless they want you to put money in.

If it sounds too good to be true, 99.9% it is.

Guy loses at online poker. “ONLINE POKER IS A SCAM”. Wash, rinse, repeat.

If I had a dollar for every bad poker player that cried about “online poker is rigged”, I’d have more money than I do from taking it off donks like you in the poker room itself.

I don' understand why you play for unknow poker site( idon't hear this site) beacuse The big poker sites each have mobil application what you know is safety.I will hope for play poker!
 
the app itself isn't a scam. The agents might be scammers so you should try to find a trustworthy one. But this isn't about the agent scamming off your money.
Also losing 6BI is nothing
You getting tilted because of that proves your inability to handle swings or the stakes or just the lack of skill

Agree on the colluding though. There are risks involved

thx four info
 
There are reputable online poker sites. Why would you sign up for Pokerbros, then buy-in 6 times, if you had suspicions early on?
When you played live with him, did he demonstrate such skill that he could be raking in all that cash on Pokerbros? If not, how was he doing so well online?
Far too many red flags that you obviously missed. Sorry about your losses.
 
drama

I just may say that it looks to me that poker sites are not rigged in someones favor but this RNG is like wants to make drama in every hand, so if you have AA and guy is having Ak it is so often that is coming maybe 10 J Q on flop and than 10 on the turn and another 10 on the river, or you both go all in with AK and then you may see for spades, or even five and things like that...
just sweating sweating sweating, no smooth winning.
I am afraid to go all in with pocket aces if there is more then one opponent who is going all in.

There's been a proliferation of these kinds of Apps lately it seems to me they don't host anyone's money or allow play with real money, merely providing a poker platform for "home games" type play, where someone sets up a club and handles the cash payments and payouts, the games being played with essentially play money. In my eyes this is just trying to dodge gambling regulations in countries where they are more strict.

I wouldn't trust my money with anyone other than a regulated poker site. Even pokerstars home games played with play money where the club owner offers a cash prize depend completely on honesty.

If these apps are free from regulation (since they don't handle cash) then how can you trust the RNG or the possibility of multi accounting and collusion?
 
I haven't even heard of him ... I only play those who have a license:icon_comp
