    Possibly

    There are conflicting opinions. A lot of players who lose seem to think it may be. A lot of players who win a little bit every so often don't think it is.

    . . .  and therein lies the eternal dilemma? Without the global stats being available, nobody can prove anything - so you pays your money and takes your chance . . . . . .

    Why WOULD it be rigged? Sky make their money via rakes regardless of who wins ..

    “Why WOULD it be rigged? Sky make their money via rakes regardless of who wins” ..

    Not suggesting for a moment that poker sites are anything other than completely honest… 
    However, someone with a suspicious mind might argue: Good hands encourage you to bet - the more you bet the bigger the pot - the bigger the pot the more rake for the site.

    A 'good hand' can be made with any two cards. And nobody - and no site - knows what you will do with your hand on any given board.

    Why would any site risk busting a player for one pot's worth of rake?

    It just wouldn't make sense.

    Well in the true sense of the word rigged all poker sites are rigged in that the RNG is set to perform a function of randomness which I assume has to be confirmed by the regulating authority. So it is rigged to be as random as possible 1 would assume.

    hmm the villain raised I have a draw might as well fold only rigged sites will ever give me the flush.
    hmm 22 I get 3bet might as well fold only rigged sites give the set here AA wins.
    hmm a straight draw villain bets might as well fold only rigged sites will allow straights to hit.
    hmm 2 over cards he bets might as well fold only rigged site give me better pair.
    hmm top pair nut flush he bets I raise he jams might as well fold only rigged sites will give me a flush here his set or two pair remains.


    what a waste I have playing this because every time a bet is done they will fold as the AA is certain to win preflop straights flushes always miss so hey just fold.

    what I want is a poker game where I know villians will chase then draws call those set miners chase the over card pairs knowing they could get it. not a game where the best hand preflop is the winning hand otherwise I might as well play slots where atleast the times I hit them I will get paid big where as here any bet and they fold knowing I have AA so I just with the blind.

    To be fair whenever i go out of a tournament i always shout at the laptop its rigged but in truth its poker and you will always bet bad beats, I do find that a lot of my straights run into flushes and my sets run into full houses but i think i need to learn when to fold and i will be ok! haha - GL and see ya at the tables.

    @all

    1. Sky and any other poker site can prove whether their software products are performing to probability expectations; they choose not to.

    2. They are not required to provide ongoing 'proof' that their systems function within 'expected parameters'.

    3. The approving agent for sky pokers initial licence acquisition also disclaims any future variance away from 'expected parameters'.

    4. Mathematical probability over a prolonged period, such as a poker casino might provide with a random shuffle, is an absolute guarantee, it cannot show anamolies without something being wrong. So why dont poker sites provide proof of veracity?

    5. All poker sites and individuals associated to such are honest enterprises run by former clergymen; Judges and Magistrates, W.I members, barristers, solicitors, bankers, old ladies from convent schools and spinsters and bachelors that never so much as looked at a horse in a wrong manner.

    Why would Sky be corrupt; its owned by Rupert Murdoch ffs!!!
