Is Online Poker Rigged?
Author: Jeff McclureOnline poker is not rigged. The poker sites make their money from the rake not you loosing a hand. With that being said the question you should be asking yourself is what do I need to watch out for while playing online? There are hackers that claim they have programs that allow them to cheat. But I don't believe them.
The rake is the money the online poker site collects from the players each hand. It is a percentage of the money that is bet. At most sites there is a cap on the rake, therefore it is in the sites best interest to leave things alone and have many players making mostly normal small bets. The reason you may see more enormous hands like a straight flush or four of a kind online is the play online is generally loose especially at low money tables. The more players in a hand means its more likely that a somebody will draw a monster hand. Its not the way the program is shuffling the cards.
Hackers that claim they have hacked the poker sites are usually trying to sell you some kind of cheater program. These programs don't work and are nothing more than a scam. The online poker sites are super secure these days. A reputation of security and fairness equals new customers and cash
