Default New survey on online poker

A survey was recently was recently conducted from several casinos across the country about how players feel about online poker. The study was to determine how many players feel there is something fishy going on with poker sites. Over 75% of players feel online poker is cheated or rigged by the sites themselves, Around 15% were unsure, & the other 10% belived it was random. The most amazing statistic was that out of the 10% that belived it was random, only 32% had played more than 2 years while the average player had played much longer. These numbers are way up from studies done 2 years ago.

Does this "banned" status mean he cannot post any more? If so, why?

He has few posts. Maybe perusing them will aid in your search.

Thanks, just had a look and can see that the only posts relate to rigged. Don't see why a poster should be banned just because he posts that kind of theory though.

Before you think I am one of them let me say now I cannot see any reason why a site would want to rig anything. They get their money through rake regardless of who wins. They make huge profits and would only lose out if somehow proof was obtained.

As for keeping the fish happy that is just so ridiculous I can't even entertain the idea. There are big winners online and many people make a living this way. Did the sites just randomly assign these people as ok to be winners? Preposterous idea.

Just don't agree with banning. It would be good to hear intelligent arguments for the "rigged" theories other than "I lost to runner runner 10 times in a row". Then again I can't think of intelligent arguments in favour of "rigged". OK I'm wrong - ban them
