Is Online Poker Rigged?

[davies_r7]

Sometimes if I think that it is manipulated when they beat me with ridiculous cards then I start to think and I think it was only luck of my rival or that I did not notice the fish.

It's frustrating to me. You get it in good is all you can do, and more often than not the lower percentage out, hits on the river, or even turn. Everytime. I have watched hours and hours of twitch poker to know some players no matter what they do just run better, i don't know if it's online favoritism, but i find it highly suspicious. I'm not réal sure, if i program could be written to manipulate the deck, or if players have access to whole cards, but in my expérience online the worse hand gets there predominatly to much for the perce-neige and mathematics, and its suspicious to me. I guess that's why it's gambling.

Getting it in good is all you can do. If you're serious about playing online poker get some tracking software like PT4 and study, study, study and then study some more.

I have played live poker, and I have never seen things like what happens at online tables. I don't know if online poker is rigged, but I have played enough hands to know that there are certain patterns. For example, if you receive a pair of 88s, it is very likely that there are one or two more pairs on the table, they may be lower or higher, but surely there are more pairs. I'm talking about Poker Star. If you hit AA, chances are there are more than your strong hand, more pairs, or AK or AQ on the table. It's not random for me ... There are certain patterns. The same goes for stairs. Beyond taking the outs into account, the program always tends to complete the stairs of the player with the most chips, even if the odds are minimal ... It's just my opinion.

Anything can be. But I don’t want to believe it. Many offended people and losers say so. But who knows? If in doubt, play live poker :bath:

Limited by program?

Hero AQs, raise, utg calls,utg 2 reraises, I fold, KJ and AA run it out. Later Hero AK suited, Raise, Utg 1 calls, UTg 4 reraises. This time I call, vs Kj and AA again.

So I notice each time I was rising in the ranks and appear to be limited at to stay about 30th. I mean when I got lower than 30th, card dead or a cooler? ONLY two expamples provided..​

I also think some kind of template algorithm works in the online poker room, if you play a lot the embet notices repetitive things that can’t be discovered in live poker.

It is not possible to rig online poker..As the gambling commission always scrutinize the software tools , it is literally impossible to rig the online poker. I would say online poker is better than playing in casino even though you will miss the pleasure of touching real cards.

A lot of players make this claim when they suffer a series of bad beats - we get our share of them around here.

Let's have a serious discussion about it. Read this article:

Is online poker safe or rigged?

There is some really good information in that article that explains some of the misconceptions players have.

The thing I see the most is players having a bad day or even a bad week - or they are making a lot of wrong decisions - and they instantly think the game is cheating them.

They will post hands and say "No way should this happen!" - and I know instantly they have never played live poker. I have been playing live poker for about 10 years and I have seen it all happen in a situation where it can not possibly be rigged.

What are your thoughts?

(ps - this is not the place to post your bad beat hands!)

I do not think you have any idea what your trying to explain away here. i too have played online poker for 20 years back in the day when seats were sought after tourneys full. This is Not the case any more as any poker player worth their salt knows for an absolute fact that hands are developed to encourage bets producing rake for the company's investors. This is cheating,however that said you will not be singled out for beats if its your day its your day your 72 off in bb will flop 772 against AA with the limp in short stack! this happens because money does not just shout it dam well screams and that s how the online poker sites gain their revenue.The computer program that runs the poker is extremely clever,Its is nothing like a true rng and that is an absolute fact! research the company's rng statement and it clearly states the computer program can produce random results, CAN! that does not mean it does! and nor does it mean it will that is a perfectly worded lawful statement and that is all it is Do not listen to the bs the operators say to keep you playing at the odds they want you to believe your getting! adjust and you will still make good money playing online poker. personally i lost loads in my first few years online now i am thousands ahead. Enjoy Learning!

Cheating

It is very difficult, and probably almost impossible, to program online poker software to cheat.

Every online poker site is required to use a "random number generator" so that cards from a deck of 52 cards are dealt randomly for each hand.

The random number generator is regularly reviewed by officials to ensure it meets legal requirements. Therefore, for such an impact on the programs, poker rooms need to deliberately break the law.

Moreover, there are extremely high chances that information about such actions will be quickly discovered due to the large volume of online traffic passing through the sites, and this will definitely leave a stain on the reputation of the poker room.

Also, these sites will run the risk that the poker room will be forced to close, and the sites will have to pay huge fines and be liable to the law for these shenanigans. :star:

I have no doubt that the online generators are not designed to favour one player over another however, consider if the overall site has a way in which to categorize or identify players who, haven't deposited in a long time or who have a very low cash balance available and these players are given cards that would be considered monsters (AA,KK etc) yet they consistently lose on these cards and in tournaments these are tournament ending situations. Hence eventually the player has to re-deposit and all of a sudden they win for a while then again the whole cycle repeats. The outcome of course, is the players regularly deposit, regularly play and just as regularly eventually repeat the cycle. This occurs all the time on pokerstars. I have been playing there for over 10 years and now consider the monthly small ($50) deposits as the cost to play, as well because of the frequency of this occurring I can usually recognize when I am on the downward cycle and am cautious about all in situations even with monster hands. This is the only plausible explanation I can come up with to explain the lose when was cash balance is low and win after just depositing. and this occurs continuously. As for my playing ability well I have been knocked out of 27 SitNGo tournament in the past week and in EVERY Case I have had a hand in the top 25% of starting cards, i.e. - AA>JJ, AK, AQ...Strange...regularly lose QQ to 45.. Oh as an afterthought why would sites do this? well lets see PS has 40,000 plus players on line at any one time and if they can create a situ where a large % of these players deposits regularly..bingo money made.

no

no online poker is not rigged in my option

 

[perrypip]

The human mind is rigged to believe in a conspiracy against it before believing in its own shortcomings. That's all.

 

[emanuelorteg]

I find it very strange that whenever I have a pair like for example JJ or QQ, someone has a better pair like AA or KK, these hands being as rare as they can appear on a single table, I have been playing for a year, I know it is little , but it is these situations that make me wonder if the game is fixed

I used to agree but if you study hundreds of hands played live you will see the same thing its because you only notice when someone has another monster hand otherwise u 3 bet with your JJ or QQ and if they got junk they just fold

 

[over_big]

I've found that if you call out the cards that you are trying to avoid like, "No ten. No ten," a ten is coming on the next card around 87% of the time.

 

[Artbart805]

is it rigged.

Yes

 

[slurredreaction]

I have played quite a bit of online poker with a break for the last few years. I find you see many more hands then you would at a casino so you tend to see more rigged looking hands.

 

[Caja124]

Imagine it like this. You have AA, you are 9 handed, the flop turn and river is predetermined, you bet to have 1-2callers max. If everyone calls your hand get beaten by 2-3 players if you dont hit, if those players do not fold and decide to play you will complain that it's riged but if they fold than you will win and be happy. But you can't always win so therefore you will always think that it's riged. If i won every hand i would not complain in 1 miljon years 😂😂😂😂😂

opinion

I think that some rooms do not shine with fair play. There is no doubt that such giants of online poker as pokerstars or americaskardrum will never allow themselves to use dubious programs, since the loss of reputation will bring very large financial losses or the complete elimination of the resource. But as for small and new rooms, there are questions. Play on the rooms proven over the years.

 

[Darkray]

From a part it seems that poker is really rigged, since there are such interesting hands. That I want to give up poker forever. But even so, I understand that these are corrals.

 

[Gooilers31]

Given all the scandals and fraudulent activities from large poker sites one can’t help but think that it’s rigged still and the active riggers haven’t been caught yet

Either way though only the top People in the industry know fosho

 

[the_bridge222]

No, it isn't. You just need to be more patient and study hard.

 

[fezjones]

i dont know if the rng is rigged, but i know some sights have been caught in ponzi scheme and bot farming

I guess it's easy to think that way when you get sucked out on. When it happens often,it really makes you wonder. But it sure is nice when you suck out on them. Remember your home game, it happens there too.
