Which US Friendly Poker Room Do You Least Trust?

[Pokeraddict]

I took the top 7 US friendly sites from Poker Site Scout. I left off Prima because of the number of skins and the fact they ban 11 states.

I think asking "Which US Friendly Poker Room Do You Least Trust?" is a bad question.

I think you would get more meaningful answers if you asked people to rate each site out of 5, and then averaged those scores.

various Prima skins seem to suck a lot more than anyone on that list, but who knows, I'm in the wrong state anyway.

otherwise, I have decent money + on all of them and probably won't change that (except for poker.com but that's because it's a ghost town.)

[Pokeraddict]

Yeah I didn't know how to include Prima. There are certainly several shady skins. To rate the rooms 1-5 would have been painful with 5 different polls.

which skins are the shady ones? is battlefield one of them?

Battlefield is not one of them. I'm thinking of ones that decided not to honor bonus terms after they were fulfilled.

Sure, but it would actually give you a meaningful answer. The way you have done this will give you an easy answer, but one that has no meaning.

I feel that if one site gets the highest score, it is probably because it is the most high profile/has the most accounts/had the most bad experiences with it.

eg, hypothetical scenario:

Site A has 1million users. 1% of them have had problems. 10,000 people post about it, and there are 10,000 threads about this. Thus, very low trust, and would likely get a high score on your method.

Site B has 10 users. 100% of them have had problems. 10 people post about, and there are 10 threads about this. Thus, unlikely to be the most untrustworthy site in the eys of most people - 'cause people don't know about the problems.



Which site is least deserving of trust? I think in this hypothetical scenario, Site B is obviously far less deserving of trust.



If your purpose was to start a thread and a poll with very little effort, you have succeeded. If your purpose was to obtain even half meaningful information on the question of poker site trust, you have failed.

You left out TruePoker which I won't trust with my added info they are asking me for.

After 2 years of supporting their numerous skins, making numerous deposits and less numerous withdraws, they suddenly demand more info(without explanation) before I can play there anymore. Screw them.

Something of a horserace for me between UB, FTP, and ABS. I ended up choosing UB, although I'm not sure I like my logic. I was actually giving them less credit for there being no reason to have money there, and maybe I should be giving them more: I have money at ABS and will probably at FTP if they ever give me a [censored] reload, and that's probably reason to trust them less.

However, I'm more annoyed at not trusting UB, because now I have nowhere to play HU triple draw, as Stars' HU rake stinks to high heaven.

I'm surprised that UB is winning and AP has only a few votes. I'm guessing AP would be a 2nd place for many since AP and UB are run by the same. FWIW I voted for UB.
