Hello, this topic is to see if racism has spread in the world of online poker, because there are situations in the game where it seems that it exists, or it is only the system that gives you the best game for those who have deposited large sums of money. money for the game, what is your comment on this topic.

Well, to be honest, I've never noticed this in online poker ... and have you had situations?

Wait, what? What is this topic about lmao?

Racism? No, what you are saying is classism? Where the more money you have, the better leg up you have in winning the most money.
I don't have enough money myself to just blow it. So this pertains to me I guess. I play against a lot of people that have a lot more disposable money available to lose without batting an eye.

The fifth year, while playing online, I have never encountered any racism

I have encountered this several times on PokerStars.

I used to play in some games regularly where an Australian expat used to show up and play with his GF (who was also living in another separate country-poker was their daily get together online). As soon as he'd lose a hand he would start in with some racist filth that he felt was apt for a player from whichever country they came from...Germany, France, anywhere Asia. It was outrageous.

He wasn't the only one.

The thing was at that time PS still had an avenue for instant contact with the mods who would then throw him out. Unbelievably, he and his GF would just show up again days later and start in again which was really disappointing.

I have seen endless racist and homophobic rubbish in the chat boxes which is why I generally have them closed now.

I have never seen racism in online poker. In everyday life, I saw them more.

there are no bad nations, there are bad and annoying people and most often they are from the same country

a sense of impunity and distance from the opponent allows some to write various nasty things. and this is not just in poker but all over the Internet

never noticed racism in online poker.

If of course you have had this racism in online poker very often, friend, I remember that there are a lot more poker players at the moment than before.

Hello, I think this is still a system. Since every business, which is online poker, should be profitable, that's why privileges are created for larger depositors. Rather, it is a division into classes. It’s purely my opinion)

I've never really noticed racism in online poker. Honestly I don't even know where the players I'm playing against are from. My notes only reference their player tendencies not their origin. A fish is a fish no matter their ethnicity lol. I'm not saying it's not there just haven't seen it personally.

I've mostly just seen people lose and then trash the persons whole country usually...

Only one time after I took a huge stack from a player online he called me the N word I just laughed because I'm white. Didn't cross my mind that it was racist just a sore loser. just added to the satisfaction of putting him or her out

Yes, there is more, it’s different racism, it’s like xenophobia. I have already witnessed players from one country scolding another player from one country just for being from another country.

Racism? That I have not seen, but if I have seen people who insult themselves for thinking they are better, I have seen it numerous times, I have even seen it in cardchat freeroll tournaments saying fish to another participant. The truth is that we are living very hard things in the world to put emphasis on online poker, that does not mean that it is not important but it is a matter of priorities.

In the years I have been playing online I have never seen racist deals between players.

I did once get a chat ban at a poker site for asking a guy I was friendly with this question about his picture "are you the black guy in the picture" picture was of three men two white one black someone then reported me for racism.

I don't see it that much myself normally for play money idiots or people in freerolls(none cc ones)..

I sort of agree with this...but...I believe it more pointed.

I happen to be an expat living in a different continent than the one where born, so I am a different race than the locals. Because my country of residence appears on line, people assume I am that race and many have felt fit to make abusive comments. Its pathetic as it comes from a weird view of superiority.

So I have had my fellow countrymen abuse me occasionally and Americans. But the two worst from personal experience are Australians who frequently have a casual attitude to racism (I have spent time there so know first hand) and Russians who just seem to enjoy being rude as race baiting is frequently coupled with homophobic comments.

Yes, the majority of on line players are civil and I know some Russians who are really sweet etc, but the idea some have never witnessed on line racism is a little surprising to me.

In particular, a lot has happened to me because I am Venezuelan and I always have many insults when I win a hand to a RUSSO, Ukranian and United Kingdom. They get very upset and start with very offensive comments, from so many comments that they have told me now I sometimes return that insults and enough racism in online poker

Well when people are mad and want to write something mean to you, they only have an option to write some crap about your country or nationality cause that's the only info they have (and already not in all rooms lol).

I think that what you are saying does not make any sense, what if there are people who like to insult the chat simply because they are behind a screen, they would never tell you from the front

I have a username that is a slang phrase used primarily by African Americans, and despite not being black myself, have been called the n-word after beating someone out of a pot. So yes, racism (and just plain idiocy) definitely exists in online poker.

Unfortunately there is racism everywhere... Maybe one day we won't have to worry about this thing anymore. But on my perspective yes, there is racism in poker online and live. I wish that this people who make racists comments should be banned from online poker websites and also be disqualified from live tournaments.. cuz c'mon, it's pretty easy to do that

I don't think there is racism as much as its just being tilt. We all go through our tantrums. Most sites players don't know the color of someone, unless looking at there profile if that's possible. I say no

You say no? People such as myself have noted they have faced racism but somehow you know better? All sites not only have moderators but warnings about abusing their terms of service which would include being rude, aggressive, racist, sexist, homophobic etc.

In fact this site carries similar rules and enforces them. They are there for a purpose. No one gets a 'pass' on being racist because they are on tilt. If you follow your logic you might as well excuse anyone from saying anything no matter how offensive 'because they are on tilt".

In no way should racism be accepted by any means of online gambling as has happened in online poker

Never see something like this in poker rooms.

There are a lot of disgruntled players. People get bad hits during an online game and try to hook the opponent. They use obscene words associated with the nickname or country of the opponent. This has nothing to do with racism.

Posts about national or racial affiliation usually occur in the chatbox. You can call the admin or close the chatbox at that time. I don’t know what to say that if someone pays more, the system is more favorable.

Maybe you pay in just because that’s not the case.

I havent noticed racism in poker to black people but I have seen some guys being really aggresive towards russians calling them "fishes, always getting lucky" and stuff like that, but most of the time these players are fishes themselves and just being angry because they lost money. Thats my experience in PokerStars.

Yes there is a problem but compared to years ago the bullying is not as bad

If you gonna look for it you will find racism everywhere. Otherwise there is no racism in poker...

in our country, Brazilians and Romanians with Hungarians are considered to be very inadequate players, but I think that this is nonsense and it is a pity that our generation will not live to see people around the world realize that peace and mutual respect are much better than a pseudo advantage over another person is your underdevelopment

In 11 years of playing poker online, I've only seen a couple of cases. All because poker players would rather discuss your game skills than anything else.
Most poker rooms have the ability to turn off the chat or mute a particular player.

Say no to racism.

Maybe you are saying people who deposit the most money are given a better chance to win by the poker sites? I do not think that is the case, but if anything people who deposit more or even more often are liable to find their way into some money playing as a rusult of giving more opprotunity.

Racism exists everywhere in the world , also on the internet . So why should online poker be excluded from this rule ?

I have seen racism incidents in online poker games , in poker forums , and elsewhere . But there are not many ,. in most online poker rooms this behavior is not tolerated , the racists are being punished , not severely , but they are punished

Also players focus on the game , don't have time to lose , time is money , spending it on stupid conflicts with racists , instead of playing , studying or watching the action , is 100% retardness Even racists won't bother cursing others , they focus on their games . The players cursing in a racist way at the tables are 100% losers , in poker and in life generally , real retard ''speciments''

Very well and I believe you in your comment, you have much more time than me playing online poker, I congratulate you, you are also absolutely right about the chat, you can silence it or disable the chat, that is very good. Say no to racism

I think I am concerned about what kind of person we are dealing with, whether it is because of their skin color, or their nationality, or their sexual condition, etc. This is not all important. I think that it should not exist anywhere else, since they only insist on hatred, violence, selfishness, etc.
A world without all those things, is a world of peace, everyone living as in paradise. So do good and be happy ..

I do not think racism, intolerant people yes, people who because they bet and lose their hands bother and try to offend, these do exist and are found in most of the tables, there is always one player bothering another, it is common in the games of online poker.

I play a lot, I haven’t seen any outrageous manifestations of racism or racism. Maybe I didn’t have a chance to meet them, but all the same, for 21 centuries, all these prejudices in the past have come to me.

I think it happening when foreign people are winning. For example, I make big bets on an american community, someones say me something. It´s not racism. Despite this, I think it existing.

I am brazilian and a have to say that a lot people on internet is very racist! They feel confortable behind a computer have absolutly sure that nothing Will hapeened with him! We have to clean our community from racist people!!!

Yes for sure! Of course there is racism in online poker.

I can think of about a dozen players that will go on racial tirades in the chat box when they have lost a hand.

I laugh when they are cursing at a foreigner that doesn't seem to understand the racist's use of language!

Other times there have been a few players who just continuously curse at people with racial slurs. I assume they are trying to tilt the table and have the table come after them in poker? Otherwise they are just miserable people with much bigger problems in real life.

How can there NOT be racism in online poker?

The only thing I can attest to from my own experience is that in major betting tournaments the dealings of cards are more equitable, where you rarely lose a hand with an 80% or more chance of winning, which does not happen. in minis or low tournaments, there is if it is true that the game is a roulette, three pairs are dealt in one hand and nobody knows who wins until the last card regardless of having the strongest hand and even an all inn with AA is lost with a madman who pays with 72

Personally, I have not encountered racism in online poker but I am convinced that this phenomenon occurs. Online Poker brings together a large number of players from around the world and as in everyday life there are certainly situations related to racism.

I'm Iranian and many times on ACR people insulted me because of my region that I did not choose


Edit: I must say that there is no war in Iran or nobody rides camels for reaching to work and things like that are not Iran's typical,
I know the current situation of my country and the mindset of people around the world about Iran
but I don't support anything that you thinking Iran's Government Ideology is, I am just a normal person that wants to play poker in his free time, Of course if i had right to choose my country i would never choose Iran

Hi, I very much agree with you about what you said, for me there are many more privileges for those who make deposits regularly, so I think there is more preference in winning them than those players who deposit many.

I totally agree with you with this comment that's so
