It’s supposed to be regulated – but who’s regulating the payout?
Even supposedly player vs player games like poker, it’s rumoured that the ‘community cards’ and cards dealt to players are sufficiently spiced up to keep them betting.
If they bet, they create a pot.
Then the gambling website takes a cut – or ‘rake’.
Others proclaim online gambling isn’t rigged – but my experience of poker tournaments online is that things are sufficiently juiced up to create gambling action between players.
How to get round it? Make sure the other guy folds and you take the money…then the software can’t deal with you in an unfair manner.
