Huh? I never said you were Canadian. I'm not Canadian either - I've never even been to Canada.

If Pokerstars is rigged, it's certainly not against the law in the USA ******.
You continue to lie like a lying liar that lies.

Your US Department of Justice has a whole page devoted to frauds perpetrated over the internet at http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fraud/internet/

The US FBI has a site online at http://www.ifccfbi.gov/ where you can report your suspected internet fraud.

You need to do this - or to stop making your unsubstantiated accusations.

ONCE AGAIN MORON....The USA does not have a gaming commission that oversees online poker...
This is irrelevant. They have a police service that polices fraud.

Quote:
Rigging the RNG is NOT AGAINST THE LAW.
Yes, I believe it would be. Someone who is rigging a RNG is quite obviously:
a) misleading customers
and
b) obtaining a financial advantage by doing this

While different jurisdictions will have different wordings, that would have to fall under almost anyone's definition of fraud.


lol I'm speechless.

Call the police and report them then Josem, see how hard they laugh in your face.

I'll say it one more time. Rigging the rng is not against the law. The USA doesn't have juristiction over pokerstars. WE HAVE NO GAMING COMMISSION THAT REGULATES ONLINE POKER.

Enough with the cops ******.

I only read part of the last few posts above mine. Don't really think it's worth catching up on this thread.

But I just wanted to jump in here and say that I've been to Canada and observed all the laws as I knew them while I was there.
Canada is a nifty country and I think their money looks way cooler than American money.
I hope this helps you guys settle whatever the hell it is you're arguing about.

However, I've just had a look through the laws of the state of New York, and a brief non-expert reading would suggest that rigging a RNG for a gambling service would breach the following laws:

Quote:
§ 190.20 False advertising.
A person is guilty of false advertising when, with intent to promote
the sale or to increase the consumption of property or services, he
makes or causes to be made a false or misleading statement in any
advertisement or publishes any advertisement in violation of chapter
three of the act of congress entitled "Truth in Lending Act" and the
regulations thereunder, as such act and regulations may from time to
time be amended, addressed to the public or to a substantial number of
persons; except that, in any prosecution under this section, it is an
affirmative defense that the allegedly false or misleading statement was
not knowingly or recklessly made or caused to be made.
False advertising is a class A misdemeanor.
Quote:
§ 190.65 Scheme to defraud in the first degree.
1. A person is guilty of a scheme to defraud in the first degree when
he: (a) engages in a scheme constituting a systematic ongoing course of
conduct with intent to defraud ten or more persons or to obtain property
from ten or more persons by false or fraudulent pretenses,
representations or promises, and so obtains property from one or more of
such persons; or (b) engages in a scheme constituting a systematic
ongoing course of conduct with intent to defraud more than one person or
to obtain property from more than one person by false or fraudulent
pretenses, representations or promises, and so obtains property with a
value in excess of one thousand dollars from one or more such persons.
2. In any prosecution under this section, it shall be necessary to
prove the identity of at least one person from whom the defendant so
obtained property, but it shall not be necessary to prove the identity
of any other intended victim.
Scheme to defraud in the first degree is a class E felony.


I don't think that there is any credible doubt that similar crimes would exist in other US states.

I'm almost ashamed to be in the same country as him, and I apologize to all non-Americans who have to deal with his seemingly prejudicial attitude.
God damn you a ****** too.
Well that sure is uncalled for.

I was simply stating that, from my observations, some of your (very hostile, IMHO) retorts address the fact that the companies that check to make sure sites are not in fact rigged are located outside of the U.S., and it seems that you hold the belief that if they were located and regulated in the U.S., then it would be legit. It seems to me that you're overlooking the fact that there are regulations in the countries that these sites reside in.

No, you got it all wrong, that's not what I was saying so you can apologize anytime you want.

I simply stated for the hundreth time...The USA doesn't regulate online poker. They have no responsibility to make sure it's fair.

Other countries? Well what are they doing to make sure it's fair? Seriously, I have no idea. Does anybody in any country regulate online poker?

There's no regulation, there's no one overseeing it...That should make you worried.

The idea that you can commit an alleged fraud against a US citizen, who is located in the US when the alleged crime occurred, and the US not have jurisdiction over this, is self-evidently idiotic.

a) You have a law that seems to apply to this situation.

b) You have law enforcement officials who are employed to police the law.

c) You should use (b) to enforce (a).

No, I'm not "leveling" (another nerd herd word).

Yeah, it's so terrible to question software programmed by humans that is owned by people making money off of it.

The herd here buys into everything, I'm suprised you didn't all just start agreeing with me that there is a chance it's rigged.

As I have said a number of times in this thread, and a number of times in the previous thread, I have never been employed by Pokerstars. I am currently not employed by Pokerstars.

I do not envisage being employed by PokerStars in the future (although, if they want to employ someone who is able to communicate clearly and logically, I'm open to offers)

(I have also never been employed by any other online gaming operator, and am not currently employed by any other online gaming operator, and do not envisage being employed by any other online gaming operator in the future. I have also never received any money from any online gaming operator for any affiliates, referalls, or other similar stuff)

Josem, stfu already.

You obviously know jack crap about US Laws...I'm at a loss of words.

I'm done explaining to you why this isn't criminal.

Besides the fact that even by the sites admission it's partly a game of luck or chance.

Casinos rigg slots to give the house an advantage, this is perfectly legal.

We have gaming commissions that oversee US casino and if the slots are rigged beyond a certain amount the casino receives a fine.

In most cases it more profitable to pay the fine and leave the slots rigged at a higher %.

There's nothing illegal about rigging the rng.

What relevance does this have?

If the slot machines were rigged to give certain players an advantage, that would be illegal.

Quote:

...which is irrelevant to this case.

Quote:

Yes, there is. That would be fraud. That is illegal. It is fairly self-evident.

The common sense test to determine a fraud is:
a) Does the activity cheat people?
b) Is the activity unfair?

If A + B are true, that would be a pretty clear cut example of a fraud. Do you doubt A or B?

The same reason that people slow down around accidents - the morbid curiosity of seeing something gory.

In this case, it is the abysmal logic of the muppets claiming that online poker is rigged.

"Absurdity" ORLY? Is it so absurd pokerstars tries to prove it's legit by saying Cigital put it's stamp of approval on it? It's just absurd someone wants to know if a piece of software is legit,, just absurd I tell you.
The absurdity is in asking someone to prove that a RNG is "legit", by which I assume you mean that it is really random. Your statement here, and all of your posts in this thread, shows that you don't understand what a RNG is or how it works, and that you don't understand what a mathematical or logical proof is.

I'll try this one more time, although it's likely a waste of time.

Many people who post here (myself included) have NEVER said that we are 100% certain that a site couldn't be rigged. All we have been asking for is some kind of evidence, beyond your own recollections of what's happened to you.

Some have asked that we prove sites are NOT rigged. I'm not sure how exactly this is supposed to happen. How does one prove a negative? Whatever stats one of us shows, the argument could just be that it only happens after cashouts, or it only happens to some people, or it only happens on Tuesdays, or what have you. The only way to prove it would be to be able to show every hand every played at a site. If somehow one of us were able to get our hands on the RNG algorithim, one could argue that they don't always use it...they have a second "rigged" one we missed. The same would go for any regulatory body that checked the same...perhaps they were misled in some way, or paid off, or some such thing. And then there is the school of thought that sites are rigged in a subtle way that could never be discovered even by looking at the numbers...that things are tweaked one way for some people, and the opposite for others, so that they even out. We will NEVER be able to prove, to everyone's satisfaction, that a given site is not rigged. NEVER. If you believe that a site (or sites) are rigged, and you are waiting for this proof from someone to change your mind, you're wasting your time. If you're convinced, don't play at that site or sites any more. End of discussion.

Now, if there was something amiss, something so obvious that you are able to spot it just by simple observation, then it will be VERY easy for you to provide evidence of this. If this is happening so frequently, would there not be somebody out there with a DB of a few hundred thousand hands that could show us? I await just such a person.

Hopefully when the chorus of naysayers comes gunning for this post, they are able to respond in some well-thought out manner, without hurling insults and invective or making false, unfounded accusations. One can hope, right?

A couple of things I should add - I am not an affiliate, I do not work for a poker site, and I have never experienced a "cash out curse" at ANY site.

I can live with that. If it's truly legit, pokerstars would give up everything involving their rng or better yet let cigital release their results and how they were able to test their rng.
