You didn't have a flush. Easy mistake to make while learning omaha, you have to use 2 cards from your hand and 3 from the board.

Probably best not to jump to "rigged or corrupt" conclusions when you're learning a new game.

Unlucky if you went all in on the flop as you still had him beat at that point in time, and villain was likely chasing their flush as well.
