Hey everyone, For the past 6 months or so, I've been playing live dealer blackjack on various sites. These include Jackpotcitycasino, Betway, Bet365, Casumo and Yukon Gold Casino. I've played thousands of hands, ranging from $5 bets to $1000, totalling around $100,000 (including winnings). I always play at Evolution Gaming tables. Since I started playing, I've noticed that as soon as I open an account, I immediately go on crazy win streaks, especially on side bets, where I'd win sometimes thousands a hand. However, these big win streaks are always followed by crazy long losing streaks, up until my last small bet, where I would win. I know that statistically the more you play, the more you're bound to lose after a win streak, but there are certain things I find suspicious about Evolution Gaming. The main issue I have is that I firmly believe that the software provider sends bots to tables when a big win or side bet win is coming. I've noticed this a countless amounts of times, where a "player" would join the table just as I am about to get some suited trips, three of a kind or a straight flush. If this person had not joined the lobby, I would have gotten a ridiculous win. Furthermore, there are often players with weird names, composed of random letters and numbers, that join games and play in an incredibly stupid way. For example, let's say I have a 20, dealer has a 16, and this random player has 19. There have been times where the player decides to hit on this high number, busting at 29, leading to the dealer getting 21. There are also times where the player splits 10's leading me to a loss, etc. This has happened a countless amount of times, and this is why I am convinced that bots are used. I do believe Evolution Blackjack legitimately shuffles the deck, but I do think the system knows the order of the cards. Obviously, I may just be upset at certain losses, but now when bot joins the lobby I have learned to reduce my two hands to just one and I still manage to get my win (or the bot decides to not play, in which case I win or lose). What are your opinions on this matter?

So this might come of as a sore losers thread but im trying to shed light on a few things that i find suspicius about online gambling. Last December i won around 13000€ at a casino cahsed out and was happy... For months on end after that i could not win anything,anywhere playing the same provider(NetEnt). No bonus rounds, 1-10x stake paying ones just awfull sessions untill i had lost atleast the amount i had won over a periode of maybe 6 months. I know winning 10k+ is unlikley, but im talking about it shouldent be to hard in over 100 deposits to see a proffit in one session of a few hundred euros or even 1k. Fast forward to this June/July winning another 11-12K from a 1.1 euro spin. Cashed out and happy.. Redeposited maybe 2,5K in the same casino hitting nothing but awfull sessions, and since that day i have been on an insane losing streak. In the last 60-70 deposits i have not been ahead more than maybe 4-5 times!!!! (Once up to 600 euros on a 300 deposit, and up maybe 100 or so on a 200 deposit a few times.. In one casino alone i have lost over 5K betting between 0.50-1.50 euros a spin no higher, and never being ahead more than once or twice by an unsignificant amount. How is this just bad luck? I understand the concepts of variance, but for this kind of bad luck to happen twice after big wins gotta be astronomical!! I simply cannot win anywhere playing NetEnt as if they put some kind of block on my I.P adresse. My question is do you think casinos/software providers are running some kind of indivdual RTP based on your IP or something like that? I seam to always hit losing streaks after cashing out. ALWAYS! And these two last ones has been just to unreal.. Like i am in the twilight zone. How can we trust that the games are totally random? There are no proof. They just say its been tested... They are not tested lets say on a monthley basis.. Its just checked that the RTP is what they say on and their RNG is fair and then thats that. Whos to say they cannot alter this? Or play with individual RTP´s? If they know you play alot they could gain alot from setting your RTP low and imaginge if they do that to thousands of players... After this happend i also mentioned this on another casino forum, and after complaining alot it seams it has gotten even worse... Sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory i know, but like i say its like the twilight zone.

Hello, I have played big stake Live Roulette for a year and I`m so sure it is rigged. I have seen the ball take the most amazing spins possible. I know its kinetic energy and the ball will spin and change direction, but some of the jumps are not possible in my opinion. For instance I have played my three numbers for one hour, bust and then without exagerating my 3 numbers come the following three spins in a row. What are the odds?But I might just be unlucky.. However after chasing an answer from Betsafe how I can be certain the casino is not rigged and onlyd reciving half answeres What I have found out my self is; 1. Live VIP Casino in Riga offered by Betsafe amongst others is not concidered a casino in their home country Latvia, only a video studio. So local authorities will and do not regulate them. 2. Alderny G C does not regulate this Casino/ video stream after installed like Live Support always will refer to if you challenge them. 3. It is 100% impossible to find any reports of control etc of this video studio/ casino. 4. I accuse the casino of manipulating results by magnets or whatever to make the ball hit the number with least payout. How? very easy, there are plenty of pattents available. 5. Evolution Gaming/ the video studio always knows bets before ball lands, so easy math will show what numbers to not hit. 6. Evoultion Gaming makes more money the more people loose. Is that right if they are not a Casino? Should they at all be allowed a percentege not just a set amount every month? 7. After chasing an answer here my acount was blocked and from VIP(being invited to trips to Malta, France, Dublin etc) I`?m suddenly blocked out from all. 8. I have chased answers here diretly with CEO etc, and never an answer. 9. How is it possible that not one local authority in Riga performs any control of this casino. 10. I now play for a different company, and have chased the same answer there. They hide behind ECOGRA sela of approval? Well this Live casino stream does not come up on teh selal of approval list, so how can a company offering this game say they have the Seal of approval? If anyone out there can please inform me of any controls etc of these video streams etc it would be most aprechiated. I apologize for some misspelling, not fluent in written english. If anyone has some info heer it owuld be so aprechiated. Kind regards A

This month Betfair Casino had a promo Winter Warmer Slot "Feel the Heat", Free Spins up for Grabs everyday! some terms for it: This promotion is was for the period January 11 – 25, 00:00-23:59 GMT; 2017. You can log in to the ‘Winter Warmer Slot’ promotion page and take one spin, per customer, per day during the promotion period. Once you take your spin, you will receive a notification detailing whether you have received a prize or not. If you are successful and win you will receive a message with details of your free spins bonus. Prizes are distributed at random every day during the promotion period. This same promo ran last year too but at least last year it gave me 5 free spins on the last day (Jan 14-Jan 24).... This year however 0 ! all 15 days didn't match 3 symbols (3x cherries [5 free spins], lemons [10 free spins], logos [50 free spins]). Spoke to a couple of other people who also said they won nothing from this promo this year! When I questioned Customer Support about this months promo they said: "I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately it is luck of the spin I am afraid. It works via a random number generator." Unfortunately this wasn't the first time that Betfair Casino ran a promo that failed to deliver. Last year they had that Euro Challenge promo that was so rigged with the goalkeeper being superman on crack. I wrote about it on this forum but here it is again as a reminder. It gave this result: Betfair Casino - Euro Challenge JUNE 10: result: 2 defenders and right side: goalie saved it. (1st kick) JUNE 11: result: 2 defenders and left side: goalie saved it.

(42nd kick) JULY 10: result: 2 defenders and right side: goalie saved it. (43rd kick) So anyway the RNG that they use for promos are obviously not checked to see if they are working correctly and it gives the worst feeling ever when you spend weeks on a promo to get nothing from it.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link here but google for PokerScout and you'll find the site no problem. It's mainly just a review site for on-line poker but almost every review on the whole site about every poker room is just a complaint that the room is rigged. Seems completely ridiculous to me, there's even less reason to rig a poker room than a casino considering they make their money from the rake regardless of who wins each hand... but then people will say that the cards are dealt deliberately to cause action - giving everybody a piece of the flop so that everyone will bet and the site makes the maximum possible rake. I've been playing on-line poker for many years and had some horrible bad beats. I've also won a great deal of money some months too mainly from cash games but also Double Or Nothing's and winning the odd MTT. I have no doubt that PokerStars and iPoker are fair, so how can this site be 95% negative reviews?

As a medical professional I have been seeing many people who have lost their entire life savings while trying to win the millions on the internet. Thousands and thousands of dollars wagered. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. I have never wagered online before but curiosity got the best of me and I decided to write a paper concerning online gambling. In order to do so, I had to invest my own money to open up 10 different casino accounts exclusivley for slot gaming. My patients were facinated by these internet sites. I wanted to understand them better so I took the decision. I was never worried about addiction. I opened up 10 accounts over a 7 day period and deposited 1000 canadian dollars in each account. As a scientist, I actually see things in a different way than most people. Over a 20 day period, I read the term and conditions of every site. party casino 32 red win palace spin palace casino extra jackpot city unibet bodog 888 casino casino luck Let me start off by saying the following about all of these casinos, they all claim 97%+ payouts.... all certified by companies like ECOGRA who has still yet to return my calls Most are licenced in Malta, Gibratler or Curacao.....? and? it's the only way they can accept payment from processors. There a few licenced by the Khanawakee gaming commision. Cleary a fraudelant enterprise as history has shown you with absolute poker and ultimate bet and many others. Another thing that you all need to know, when you google, "on line casino no deposit bonus" or "best online casino".... or anything similar, be reminded, these sites could not care less about you. Everything on their site is to redirect you to a casino, believe me, they receive a lot of your losses. I even saw one place refering people claiming a bonus code that would give you 100 free spins.... whether they refer you or you go alone, you still get 100 free spins! It's called an affilited program. Back to these casino sites.... Party Casino, 32 Red, Unibet were by far the only compitent people to talk to. They actually explained everything prior to a deposit. All 3 were the same, Deposit 1000 and we will match your deposit but you will need to wager 60000 dollars in order to be able to cash out. Explained very well, so i did it. All 3 casinos let me reach 4000 dollars, by the time I had wagered less than half of the needed to be able to withdrawl, it was all gone. All 3 paid like crazy in the beginning. free spins galore. all at 9 dollars a spin. I had my secretary spinning, it really was funny to see! End result, there is no way these casinos are random. It is not possible. All 3 were being played at the same time, they all had the exact same pattern. They paid and then it all came down. Very obvious. Unibet actually let me finish the wagering requirement while I still had 4k in the account, When I asked for a cash out, They wanted proof of who I was. I sent it all over and believe it or not, I actually got 4k from them within 10 days. Now, Was that random spinning? they use the same platform as many others? micro gaming... who knows. The rest of the casinos are just a joke, especially win palace.... I deposited 1000 dollars and received 4000 in bonus money? Alarm bell went right off. A disgraceful attempt to misead people. 150000 wager requirement? Are you kidding me.... My poor secretary begged me to be alloowed to wager more than 10 dollars, I decided to agree after an hour. Once the wager went to 25 dollars a spin, the tide had turned, no more free spins, no more bonus, absolutely nothing. Within 30 minutes, the 7k was gone. They let us float knowing perfectly well that we could not cash out. Jackpot city, casino luck and spin palace have the micro gaming platform, but there is no way the spins are random. We kept hitting that mega moolah free spin for the 3 million dollar jack pot, never saw a payout out more than 11 dollars after a spin. Once we played for over an hour, the free spins and the jackpot trigger somehow vanished on all three sites? There is obviously a problem there. Bodog not only has a very crappy platform, they dont even let you win anything. 3 times 10 free spins paid us 0, yup. I was laughing so hard it made me cry. End result, I think people are so mislead and have this feeling of belonging to a fantasy life that they are willing to risk anything to get it. Take your hundred dollar bill and throw it in the garbage or deposit it online to gamble, it is the exact same thing folks. These on line gaming sites are not random in any sense of the word. They feed of your weakness and slowly make you die inside. I wish I hade more time to tell you more about my research, Alot more things went on while the accounts were open. Many calls, many times they called me, especially 888 casino, at one point I told the lady that shewould be better off begging on the streets. 888 Casino is not there to offer gaming, they are there to offer free bonuses that you can not cash out anyway? Just a bad business practice in every sense of the word. You want to gamble? You want to have fun.... Take some change with you and goto your nearest casino.... have a drink, relax.... I can pretty much assure you that even if you win 10k online while playing slots, very rare, you will just end up losing it right back. Avoid if you can, seek professional help if need be. It is never too late... Dr Jimmy V. Forest Hill, Ontario God bless

I have been busy traveling and didn't have much time to login and play. Well I read a post on this forum tonight about how bad online gambling is, which somehow inspired me to dig in and have some fun and prove the anti-gambling population wrong! Just for the sake of perspective, I am up overall with online gaming since I begun 4-5 months ago, so it has certainly been a good experience for me so far. Back to tonight -- I thought about recent casinos I have played at, and recalled BitStarz as being the one with 100% positive experience, so I decided to visit them again. I moved 100 euro out of my previous consolidated winnings from various casinos (some with battles for withdrawals, others like BitStarz totally smooth and effortless withdrawals). My winnings were stashed in bitcoin (which just happened to go up in value around 30% over the course of moving winnings there, so they have gone up quite a bit just sitting there which is a nice bonus for doing absolutely nothing and a much better return than the stock market!!). So with 100 euro I just deposited to Bitstarz I have attached some screen pictures. I played Fruit Zen, Dragons Pearl, Playboy, Bridesmaids, and Rooks Revenge. And the end result is that after a few hours of fun, my balance was up from 100 EURO to 275 EURO. Not only was it fun but I got paid for it! So I just cashed out 250 EURO, and left 25 EURO in my Bitstarz account for more gaming action. Anyone who says this is rigged, I find that belief VERY hard to believe. It just isn't. I got lucky, the odds were fair, they just happened to land in my favor this time. Not always the case, but overall it seems to me that if you stick with your game of choice - eventually (could take a while) there is a nice payday. So for those who have recently posted about great immediate losses on many casinos all at the same time with the same trend and pattern - I have trouble believing the conclusions. Also, it is important to use some strategy with a focus on winning. If you were to approach this for example with an agenda of proving its rigged and a money looser, well I certainly could find a way to loose money. However if your agenda is to win (such as is the case for me) I play with a degree of strategy (not proven to work, and often doesn't, but I tend to stick with games until they pay - which can be a fault but also usually leads to payback in time). Just like the stock market, until you SELL the beaten down stock, or cash in your beaten down balance, its not yet a loss. Keep in mind I have no agenda here, I am just a humble consumer of gaming who finds the odds to be fair and balanced, now rigged or deceptive (assuming you use reputable casinos of course). Okay sorry to digress, back to tonight. I LOVE THIS BITSTARZ!! So efficient, such great service, and such excellent processes. I made a deposit, played with no technical issues, had a few support questions which were answered instantly by online chat, and cashed out the same night, all of this within a few hours. GUESS HOW LONG THE WITHDRAWAL TOOK at 230AM in the morning?????? 2 minutes!!!! And that was WITH STAFF REVIEW!!! WOW!!! They deserve every bit of their great rating on this forum, perhaps even higher. It will be an honor to play and loose or win with them, since so far they have given me the most perfect experience possible. Okay, now off to sleep. 175 EURO richer than I was before I read the post on this forum about online gaming being "rigged". No offense to the author of that post, I enjoyed the information and am not arguing with it - I just have a completely different experience (positive) which seems to undermine any theories that all of this follows pre-determined trends. That's all folks, goodnight.

Welll i had some issues with all NetEnt games in a casino and after a few mails back and forth it get this message: "Thank you for your continued patience. Our game provider NetEnt has investigated your issue and found that the games have acted normally and there are no abnormalities with the payouts whatsoever. They have also suggested you ensure you have the latest version of flash player as well as ensuring a solid internet connection as these can effect the games display. The result of each spin however is determined prior to the spins button being pressed and thus the bet outcome will always settle correctly even if your PC freezes or you are disconnected. May we suggest you take some screenshots of what you are seeing if such future cases persist. Thank you for your understanding and we are at your disposal for anything else you may require." WAAAAAAIT a minute... Whaaaaaaat?????? The result of each spin however is determined prior to the spins button being pressed and thus the bet outcome will always settle correctly even if your PC freezes or you are disconnected. Let me quote that again: THE RESULT OF EACH SPIN HOWEVER IS DETERMINED PRIOR TO THE SPIN BUTTON BEING PRESSED!!!! THE RESULT IS DETERMINED PRIOR TO THE SPIN BUTTON BEING PRESSED PRIOR!!! So any thoughts on this??? Loll This is no joke this is a mail i got from a casino thats even on askgamblers list.

I have been playing 3 card at the Bovada for about 6 months now. I have a good time. Nothing heavy 25 or 50 every other day or so. I also like to play the 3 card online just for the heck of it. Though it is the same game, the two sites, the free one and the real one are radically different. The thing that I have noticed is that the Bovada table results to the dealers hand have a regularity about them that is disturbing. For instance if I receive an King, I can almost guarantee that the dealer will receive an Ace and win. I thought I was just seeing things. But the odds of this happening with such regularity seem to be astronomical. Certainly, statisticians would say that over the course of a million hands the phenomena would come back to the calculated odds for the game. And that is the only reason that I am not getting over the top paranoid about playing there. But really......I would play 300, 400 hands and a full 90% of the time me receiving a King would predict an Ace for the dealer. I played it to my advantage and did not raise on a King based hand, and felt a bit stupid doing so...but it paid off. I have no real complaints about this casino. I have won 4-5 thousand and too about half that to get there. They pay ontime and no hassle. Anyone else ever experience this particular three card phenomena at this casino? And, in general, does anyone think that a program could be written to not just deal the cards randomly, but to impose a subtle pattern that not only calculates the players move, but is so sophisticated that it can disquise itself in doing so? I know this sounds a bit daft, but in this high tech enviornment, sucessful programing, writing code etc etc. is so far beyond sophisticated that it is almost surreal what can be done. Anyway, great finding this forum. Best of luck to all. Gwik.
