Pokerstars issues

I've heard that pokerstars is the only major poker site that does not give their card generator source code to the public... Is that true??

BTW that would explain all the bad beats I've had..... lol!!

Pretty sure PokerStars is the only site that gave their RNG to a outside company for it to be reviewed.

No site would ever give their code out to the public, that would just be stupid.

Ditto. No site will give that information out to the public.
That'd be a like a bank publishing blueprints to their security system so that people can be assured their money is safe. Sharing it is a a *bigger* security risk as it invites exploitation. IE, being unknown is a major factor in security.

For example, slot machines. They're secure and use the latest technology to prevent tampering. But people have been known to get a hold of them and develop *new* technology based on how they see it works so they can cheat the machines. Just because you can block all known exploits, doesn't mean you'll be able to block the unknown stuff, or the stuff that hasn't been invented yet.

thanks for the clarification! instead of public I should have said outside company.

Pokerstars is the only company that uses and independent auditing company to certify their RNG. Google Cigital.com they are the company that cracked the flaw in the RNG on planet poker and are the ones who certify pokerstars.

Thanks for the clarification!

Have to add that I like this forum. Knowledgeable and friendly people!!
