I'm assuming this went in on the flop - a quick look at a PLO8 calculator shows you had 42% equity three-ways. Profitable spot, but not a slam dunk... you went down to 28% on that turn card.
I wouldn't call that a bad beat as you are more likely to lose than win in both scenarios, but you will triple up getting it in on the flop some of the time.
If this was a small pot until the turn you got freerolled by the low and need to let go of these hands when half the pot is locked up and there are so many draws to beat you.
Better luck!

completely agree with this comment in Omaha this is common you had bad luck but it was not a badbeat either. It would be nice to know how the bets were on the preflop, flop and turn to be able to do a better analysis of the hand

Wasted 5$ in two minutes. First game on site today.
I'm not sure it's fair. PokerStars is checked for fair play. If you don't like it there, play with another operator. I really liked the Ipoker network when it included the parimatchpoker room, unfortunately now it has a little daughter pokermatch in Alliance with pokerdom, like, or maybe with some network. I didn't like the game. Other rooms in the ipoker network were not allowed to register, they write that my country is not allowed. I don't know if it's possible now in 2020. I haven't tried to register for 3 years. That's why I sometimes play freerolls at PokerStars.

Just because you lose a hand, does not mean, its rigged. And why would pokerstars even bother to favour someone else over you in a 5$ tournament? They are going to pay out the price money, whoever cash in these things, so to them its just the same.

Played a $5 Omaha game today on 888 and lost twice in two big pots with AAXX versus one isolated opponent by getting it all in preflop the second defeat busted me on the bubble sucks being 70% favourite but hey that is Omaha,Wasted 5$ in two minutes. First game on site today.
Unless you have the nuts on the river the maths and variance can be brutal.

Of course it is rigged!
Your hand is not as great as you might think. I would not even consider it a beat it is more of a flip.
On the flop where you have the most equity you will win half the pot 4/10 times and scoop (win the whole pot) 2/10 times, this means 4/10 you loose the pot. So it is pretty common to loose a pot like this.
I consider your hand a one way get you trouble kind of hand. I mostly try to avoid these and when I play them early I proceed with caution. Remember you got no low so you can only win half the pot if 3 small cards come on board..
I think you need to invest some time in studying the game of Omaha H/L. It is a much different game then Holdem or even Omaha hi.

100% correct the poker room makes their money from the rake and they do not care who wins or looses.
It is not Pokerstars pictured though it is a Chico Network site most likely Betonline

I think omaha is a game with many possibilities and depending on how the pre-flop, flop and turn bets went. I think it's a normal hand. The problem is that when we win a hand in which we are at a disadvantage, we celebrate and when we lose we start with theories.
