Default Re: Why would online poker sites not rig their games?

obviously, it is possible for online poker to be rigged.

in the case of online poker, i will doubt that it is rigged until people provide evidence to the contrary (such as in the absolute poker case)


similarly, it is possible that flying reindeer exist. in the case of flying reindeer, i will doubt that they exist until people provide evidence to the contrary.


one of the key issues* that discourages potential online poker players is the possibility that the game is unfair. thus, reputable sites such as pokerstars, partypoker, and others, seem to go to a reasonable effort to overcome this.
