Yikes on the Bitcoin sites given the value of Bitcoin has steadily dropped about 60%+ this calender year. Those games better be soft due to the currency rake!
Anyway, that guy's trolling which had some potential, has gotten much worse in quality. A person has concerns about Betfred and online casinos and he trolls that Pokerstars has called an army in response. He is not even trying anymore, and has managed somehow to become more boring.

Do some research into this industry and you will find that companies like Betfred do not program the games themselves, rather they license the software, so that can create a situation where an established company creates a level of consumer trust in a product (the software) that they had nothing to do with its creation.
This is again where being vigilant is smart, and that person in the referenced link was just that, but the next step is determining if this is all an evil plot by a company like Betfred or if it is more a case of sloppiness. Riggies always believe in sinister plots, but many times these glitches happen, and they do not always happen in favor of the casino.
A couple years ago there was essentially a glitch in the Will Hill video poker software where a single game (4 handed jacks or better) had a different payout schedule than all the other jack or better games, and combined with a monthly $1,000 bonus this created a situation where a player had an EV of about $950 per month per account (multiple accounts were allowed). My team made 6 figures on that before they eventually corrected the situation.
Common sense is always a valuable tool in this industry, and you will see in this thread many examples of paranoid behavior which ironically distract people from using actual common sense, and as a result they become even more vulnerable to being exploited.
