I don't think this surprises anyone, and it's why we can't give up.

Josem, that chart is brilliant. Thank you.

One point. Of course no one with a significant sample will sustain a winrate anywhere close to that. What does the chart look like if you limit it to players with 500-1000 hand samples in the DB?

I was telling my girlfriend about this story, and she could not believe that this hadn't crossed over into the newspapers. Although honestly, I'd hate for it to hit the mainstream and have every casino donkey railing on and on (even more) about the riggedness of online poker.

But think about it. Isn't she right? If this can happen on 4th or 5th whatsoever biggest poker site what will stop it from happening anywhere? So is online poker rigged ...?

We need to move on with this case, otherwise no excuse for the damage. At the same time, for sure you cannot ignore the case as otherwise thre will be no stop for a site (e.g. another one) to do it too, or don't care as much as they should whatever.

My feeling is that the current situation is far away from good ... on one hand we have "online poker is rigged" on the other hand "site(s) took no lesson". so it's the worse of both !?

If you think about it, at Absolute things will be no different from the casual player's POV. Someone is always taking his money, but instead of pros it's the house.

Everyone - I've seen stories in the mainstream media before about how the sites won't let the poor online-gamblers win.
They don't understand it and don't know that this is a story because so many people are already afraid of it being rigged in the first place.

From their perspective, this is not any different than any of the other incorrect stories I've seen in mainstream media about gambling on the internet.
