I have(stas) evidence, that I'm put on a loose list on ipoker. I play same in many rooms, and the stas don't lie. Isn't it? I'm pretty more convinced they let new players win or they set up new players to beat me, what would be worse. I take my notes and everything, but since I have won as a freeplayer without depositing, I cannot win anymore. Worst thing, they are kidding me. I play JJ, first card on the flop is a queen, and Q4o beats me, for example. I'm not paranoic, I've been playing for years in that room. Every new guy wins!!! Beginners luck? Luck doesn't exist, only variance, isn't it?
The point is, I assume they are doing field cleaning, first they let you win, but... u don't pay, you're not worth it. Whenever I play, some new guys show up with ALWAYS numbers at the end of their name. And they insist threatening me, they go out with my big hands, the beat me in nearly all of my monsterhands just by whatever they need :(((
Has somebody experienced smth. similar in their rooms?:jd4::):(

poker stars is so honest that they bailed out full tilt poker, got banned in USA for taking the company during the trial, paid back all the scammed members what was due and Dan negreanu makes a huge statement about how disgusting it is that a poker company should scam their people. They are the only gambling site to have real help.to quit gambling, they hard ban your account for an amount for time upon request and even link you to therapy lines for multiple countries. Don't diss poker Stars ever they are the most honest poker company that there is.

If you have "evidence" and you know it is rigged then why are you still playing there.

Post some of the hands you are speaking of and some people can see if it is you that is playing the hands incorrectly.

There is a whole thread on this subject called the rigged mega thread. Some great reading in there on this topic, check it out.

To be honest, I think pokerstars are not in discussion, I'm talking about smaller networks, that make contracts with even smaller, and as soon you win, or let's say, they had to pay you something, there's always problems, time lag, suspicious behaviour. Don't get me wrong, I assume they are not all black sheeps, but it's business, and a lot of businesses ended in a yate on the bahamas and no name, no number, no RESPONSIBLE. I'm going to put some money into this world, and I'd really appreciate EVERY bad behavior of skins, when it comes to withdrawal.
Thanx so far

iPoker... What a laugh.

Hello everyone,

I know this is an old threat.

However, I came across this by searching for 'iPoker rigged' on Google.

I have been playing online with fairly good results on quiet some sites including PS, unibet, partypoker and others....

Now, I have always believed there isn't any major poker site around that has their engine rigged... I have seen bad beats enough on a lot of poker rooms, but on the long run nothing to worry about, or nothing unusual to put it this way.

Now last week I decided to give iPoker a go on Everest Poker.

I played for almost 7 days straight on this site and the results are an absolute LAUGH :):):)

Put PT on it and the results were, should i say, a bit 'remarkable' maybe ? ;)

Coin flips: Won 1 out of 10 :) That's right, 1!!!!

70/30 situations: Lost 8 out of 10 when I was on the 70 side :)

My bigger aces turned out to be a huge dog against ace rags??!!!! WTF :) Won 20 percent of them ;);)

Left the site (off course) as it seems to just 'favour' this fish a little to apparent ;)

Is this site regulated at all??? How come they still exist...???

ipoker is currently the best network to play on with the best deals for cash game players.I currently get 55% rakeback with a deal through RakeTheRake on betfair.It's a first class network with first class bonuses and player support,and the new software is first class.I find it mind boggling how so many cash game players stick so loyal to the major sites who care nothing for they're custom. And who are increasingly ripping them off with worse and worse deals and higher rake.The smaller networks by far treat they're customers better than the major sites and ipoker are among the best online choices to play in my opinion.

Sports books such as Betfair,william hill,Coral,Paddy Power,Ladbrokes and Bet365 are extremely reputable companies and are all available choices on ipoker.You experienced a downswing and i would suggest not even a particularly bad one on a new site so i wouldn't read to many conspiracy theories into it.And it's also possible bad play might account for a considerable amount of the losses.But we can't know without reviewing hands,what's your winnings and ev adjusted over the last 50k hands ?.

I really restricted as to which sites I can play due to my location. can't wait for Stars to open for Maine players. Or Party and 888 for that matter. For now I have had decent luck playing on ignition, though I don't care for the anonymous format on ignition. I also just started on ACR and that seems pretty decent. I've run into some bad luck but overall nothing has stood out as suspicious.

sounds interesting,
if all you guys are set up to lose, someone is winning, that might be me!

more seriously:
Ask around and you'll find that many players use huds.
When you're new at a site, nobody knows no 'no data', after a while they have a nice statistic, reducing your chance of winning (unless you do the same).

even more seriously:
please show evidence; winning 1 out of 10 coin flips is not good enough.

That is about the most realistic and rational answer to "poker rooms favor new players" myth I have come across. It makes total sense.

And forget about people coming up with actual stats. They only remember their bad beats and not the 3 or 4 of their suckouts that came before it.

You have to realize that poker is a skill set game that has a luck element. Unfortunately the better hand is not always going to win. Try playing smaller pots if you wanna avoid bad beats that potentially eliminate you. On the flip side. Once you win a few of those big hands you will see that it happens. Trust me there’s days that I can’t win a 70/30 over and over. But it’s not the site being rigged it’s how the game is. Downswings and variance can be torture. Playing within ones bankroll and fighting through it is key. Even the best players in the world lose more tournaments than they win. It’s those winning tournaments that enable the community to survive the tough days. Good luck.

Hi.
I trust the sites on which I play poker.
If you do not break the rules, you have nothing to worry about.

the other day playing at 6-player cash tables, at Titan Poker, playing at dawn I'm sure the rest of the players at the table were bots. It was very evident the repetitive plays.

Usually I prefer PokerStars.
But I also have an account on other sites.
Sometimes I had problems with the ACR, but now I have no such problems.

Allright!!

So it isn't rigged...??? I am just a bad player right? Because I get desired results on other card rooms this one (iPoker) is not controlled too in anyway?

Get real gentlemen!!

Yesterday I gave it a final shot in an MTT after having complained about it to customer service:

Suffered a few beats one after another, however that happens on another shit day, but then the way I went out...

Got dealt pocket 10's at hijack. Raise to 4bbs and BB calls.

Flop comes 10s 8d 9d With my set I shoved for the remainder of my stack (about 16bb) to get him not to draw out on me.

BB has 20bb left in his stack and he calls off pretty much instantly!! My instant thought: Huge combo draw or so...

Guy shows a 6 3 off!!!!!!! E-mail me: ruud-1983@live.com. I'll mail you the screenshot!

So he is basically gutshotting a 7 for a BOTTOM end straight!!!! What a laugh. Who does that when not knowing that he will suckout eventually ;)

7 came on the turn.... What a surprise :) And off course no pairing the board on the river.

Now tell me folks, with the big stories about all the many big pokerrooms with big reputation: Instacalling your 20bb stack and tourney live with that hand......

NOT suspicious right...? :):):):)

Just me playing bad ;)

Hello.
I have no reason not to trust.
Personally, I have never encountered problems.
But I play poker for only 5 months, so I have little experience.

Unfortunately in the U.S. we don't really have much of a choice of sites, so I just try to build a bankroll from freerolls. If online poker was regulated we would probably need to pay more taxes, but the websites would probably also be more trustworthy.
