a site would all of the sudden have an interest in the outcome of the hand.

The house cheating at the insurance game is roughly equivalent to the house cheating at any other game. Why would they do it?

it's not about cheating (although there would be more threads "I can prove it's rigged"). The problem is with CS.
Do we really want the cash-out, bonus and other procedures like the casinos have?
What about this scenario:
- fish deposits ($100)
- fish buy-ins for the highest game
- fish goes all-in let's say blind steals (TT vs KQ)
- fish takes insurance
- fish lost
- fish gets insurance
- fish leaves
------------------------------
the house lost $93 on this player. That can happen at casino and that cannot happen at poker (the house is almost never negative after all that rakeback+bonuses).
That's why I've never bonus-whored casinos.
That's why I've never bonus-whored sport-books.
They all can lose to players and we all know how they behave to the winners...
I don't wanna wait 3 months for cash-out and sending ID a drivers licenses and all the other trouble. I don't want to be afraid of my money simply because I win.
+ fish would lose their money faster and to the house (who wants that - except the house).
Moreover this could really kill the game (I don't like when sites flip over cards and show the percentages because now the fish know how much he was wrong). This would even make him to think about how much he was wrong by calling.
And even more: the fish would see IMMEDIATELY what cost her to call! This is big big NO NO!
