A software, built by programmers, shaped by managers’ demands. Every condition, every limit, every “random” is actually a choice.
The player thinks they’re battling luck, but they’re really facing an algorithm. A code that decides when you smile and when you lose.
And yet… in the middle of this digital stage, there’s still that fleeting moment of pure illusion, when you believe you’ve beaten the system. Maybe that illusion is what we’re really paying for.
The conditions behind the software aren’t random. They adjust based on how much you deposit, your balance, your winnings, your withdrawals… It’s like an algorithm that reads you, measures you, categorizes you.
It’s no longer just luck — it’s profiling. The software doesn’t play with you, it plays you. It rewards you when you’re “promising,” punishes you when you become “unprofitable.”
And yet, the player keeps going… because the illusion of control is sweeter than statistical truth.
On the most played platforms, it’s no longer about “games” — it’s digital architecture. High-level software, built with engineering precision, where every click is analyzed, every decision anticipated.
It’s not just about luck, but behavior. How you react, how much you deposit, withdraw, endure. The platform doesn’t watch you — it reads you. And it gives you exactly what you need to stay… just a little longer.
That doesn’t mean you can’t play. But it does mean you should know where you are: inside a system that studies you more closely than you study it.

What does the system think of me if, for example, I play freerolls, use daily spins and don't spend my own money on the game? ...... Does the system consider me a parasite? :)

It’s not about those who play freerolls. They’re just starting out, still exploring. It’s about those who deposit serious money, those who play for real stakes, with real hopes.
And yes many of them started with freerolls too. Then the system caught them. It offered small wins, carefully crafted illusions, and made them believe the “big prize” was near.
Like slots. Like roulette. Same manipulation, different stage. It’s not just a game ! it’s psychology. A software that learns how to keep you close, how to feed your hope, and how to make you pay for it.

The only site I find truly fair is CChat! It gives without asking anything from us — except to be active, to communicate with each other, to share our opinions, and to learn the secrets of poker from one another. And through this message, I want to congratulate the leadership of CChat!

Não se trata de quem joga freerolls. Eles estão apenas começando, ainda explorando. Trata-se de quem deposita dinheiro de verdade, quem joga com apostas reais, com esperanças reais.
E sim, muitos deles também começaram com torneios gratuitos. Depois, o sistema os pegou. Oferecia pequenos ganhos, ilusões cuidadosamente elaboradas e os fazia acreditar que o "grande prêmio" estava próximo.
Como caça-níqueis. Como roleta. Mesma manipulação, fase diferente. Não é só um jogo! É psicologia. Um software que aprende a te manter por perto, a alimentar sua esperança e a te fazer pagar por isso.
I partly agree with you, there are moments that are not only difficult but painful, many BAD BEATS, it seems to force a new deposit. As for freerolls, they may just be bait, and it bothers me to know that there are people without a psychological structure and are going to get lost, because here in brazil we are in a moment of growth and many influencers and celebrities are increasingly encouraging the game, as if it were easy, not to mention the tournaments with exorbitant prices, for example, just today a High Roller with buy-in took place
of R$ 100,000.00 in a country with a minimum wage of R$ 1,500.00. COMPLICATED!!!

It’s wise to refrain from playing with your own money! If you can win through freerolls, that’s fine! Or at most, play only with the money you’ve already won not your own funds!

Do you think you are studied? Dude you ONLY play public freerolls. What do you expect the play to be like in those games.

And you're basing your opinions of online poker based off of games where people don't even give a damn about their play. And when you get 5 players seeing every flop, of course hands won't hold, etc.

Instead of saying 'the player' in your post, you should speak in 'I' statements... because your experience is very different from mine.
And honestly, ALL of your recent posts should be shipped to the RIGGED MEGA thread because it's a bunch of ridiculous garbage.

What difference does it make to you if people want to use their own money to play online poker?
The suggestion to only play with money won from freerolls might be good advice for YOU, but what about the players who are actually skilled at this game and are able to regularly show a profit playing even just 10nl... or 25nl (or 2nl.. or 5nl).. and the ones who are beating SNG"s at the $5 or $10 buyin level (over large sample sizes). Should they spend 100's of hours on freerolls where the play is ridiculously TERRIBLE... or perhaps they'd be more wise to INVEST some money so that they don't need to waster their time? And what about the person who wants to deposit 2 or 300... or $500 on a weekend to play poker? (because they enjoy playing the game). Why should they listen to you?

Just because you can sit in front of your computer for 1,000's of hours playing garbage low value freerolls doesn't mean others should do the same. If this is how you enjoy playing poker.... fly at 'er. But something tells me you're not enjoying it because you keep making ridiculous rigtard posts.

You are way way further down the rabbit hole than me, I believe they use systems/algorithms to make the money move around hence taking their rake each time. Not sure they do it on an individual basic but as a group yes.

Is this topic about poker or casino games? We are in the casino sub forum after all.

Wow man thanks for enlighten us. You seem to know a lot about this topic, are you some kind of insider or where do you got all that knowledge from?

Nu a fost deja postat asta în altă parte? Pare aproape ca și cum ar fi generat de inteligența artificială și i s-a părut atât de bine postării inițiale încât a trebuit să o posteze din nou separat.

These are two separate topics! Perhaps you will understand if it is not too difficult for you! And as for AI, you guessed it right! I use it daily! Maybe it's news to you! The posts are mine and have nothing to do with AI.

The post at the start of this thread and your post on the other thread contain the same material, it does not take a detective to see that.

I was referring to poker beginners, in case you didn’t get it! First, they should play freerolls until they gain the necessary experience and start winning consistently! Then they can play for money! It was a friendly piece of advice, but you seem to enjoy criticizing decent people! That’s an ugly thing to do…

You make me laugh! That’s what lack of education looks like… Judging someone you don’t know and making completely false claims! I’ve probably played poker for money longer than you’ve been alive! So it wouldn’t hurt to learn a thing or two from people with experience!:ROFLMAO:

So are you claiming your idea of intelligent software architecture is found in roulette wheels too?
Especially where the casino wins big! And onlinedon’t even get me started! Everything you see at the roulette table is an illusion!It’s all just graphics and the same goes for slot machines!

This is not surprising, because gambling is digital entertainment that must be configured to generate profit for the owners of gambling establishments. For the owners, not the players. I am only surprised that there are players who have some vain hopes of making money from this.

Man. I never deposite a dime just to be able to withdraw. I just play freerrolls to build a bankroll and I won and withdraw more than 2k doing so.

Ok Doyle. Lord Doyle that is.

For which games are you talking about? If it is poker, all you need to do is a tiny bit of research to see there are winning players who have played large sample sizes (I am referring to tournament poker.... but there are probably a bigger % of cash players who are also showing a profit)
