Proof That Online Poker Is Rigged!

by Bill Rini on November 30, 2004

in Is Online Poker Rigged?, Online Poker, Poker, Poker Humor

One can hardly read any poker forum without running across individuals claiming that this or that site is rigged. Usually they are humiliated with the forum “experts” rudely telling them that the reason they’re losing is because they aren’t good poker players. I’m sad to say that I used to be one of those “experts.” I was one of the doubters until I actually caught one site cheating.

If you view the image below it looks like a normal hand being played (certain information has been dedacted to protect the innocent).

Normal poker hand

It looks normal unless you really examine the photo. Using some highly classified vector digital imaging software from the CIA I picked up on eBay for $50, I caught the dealer dealing off the bottom of the deck. I was as shocked as anyone but it all made sense once I thought about it. Notice in the picture above how they put that little box in front of the players sitting to the right and left of the dealer so as to obstruct their view. Players sitting that close would normally catch a dishonest dealer but “conveniently” the software blocks their view. Coincidence? Hardly!

Bottom Dealing

But that wasn’t the only cheating I caught. Notice the player to the right of the dealer in Seat 1. Notice anything out of place? Neither did I at first. But again, I used my imaging software to get a close up and guess what I see?

Up the sleeve

He’s got a card hidden up his sleeve! I guess it should have been obvious after his fourth pocket aces in a row.

So now I have proof that online poker is rigged and if anybody tries to tell you differently, they’re in on it!

If you feel you’ve been cheated then you may want to check out a tool developed by Bill’s Poker Blog called the RT Hand History Analyzer for Rigged Poker Games. It can tell you if there are any statistical abnormalities with any of the hands you feed it. Really a great tool to help you gather evidence about online poker being rigged.

6 Heafy 12.02.04 at 9:51 pm: Did you notice how that blonde guy ALWAYS sits next to the dealer too? A little coincidence? I think not.
7 freckles 12.02.04 at 10:24 pm: It’s fantastic!!!! my chin still hurts from when my jaw dropped like a rock to the table…

9 G-Rob 12.03.04 at 4:20 am: There is also some serious deicrimiation on this “Party” site.

Have you noticed some players ALWAYS seem to leave a table with more money than they brought.

It’s as if some players are always losing, again and again…and others usually win.

I think the site is biased towards more experienced and skilled poker players. SCAM!
10 Paddywhack 12.03.04 at 5:10 am: I have never trusted poker players who wear suits. Paranoid am I ?
11 Dann 12.03.04 at 5:34 am: That could be the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time…
12 jbharshaw 12.03.04 at 5:54 am: WEll done

13 Kelly 12.03.04 at 6:00 am: lmao… I work for an online poker site not saying which one but.. one of the players posted me this link telling me they had proof sites are rigged… I thought OMG here we go an hour going though everything with them. All i can say is thanks to whoever did this.. it made my day very funny indeed.
14 SirFWALGMan 12.03.04 at 6:28 am: OMG! No wonder I cannot win! I was at that table! See, I am the one in the third seat! This is horrible! heh. Great job! I love it!
15 mortal_one 12.03.04 at 6:56 am: LOL. You caught me with the cards in my sleeve the other night!
16 bob 12.03.04 at 9:54 am: you missed another!
zoom in on the hands of the player in seat #10
Is that a mirrored ring?
With that, he can see many of the cards flash by
during the deal.
17 Glad8tor 12.03.04 at 10:17 am: that made my morning lol…
18 buzzkill 12.03.04 at 10:24 am: Thanks for wasting my time. Get a life you f’ing losers.

Especially you, J. Mays.
19 Rivered Again 12.03.04 at 1:06 pm: That had to be the funniest thing that I’ve seen in a long time. I guess thats why J. Mays always loses and complains so much about the online poker rooms. Doesn’t matter he sucks at cards in real life too.
20 Mike 12.03.04 at 3:06 pm: That’s funny stuff. Nice job.
21 Aaron 12.04.04 at 2:53 am: Very nicely done!
22 BingoT 12.04.04 at 4:36 am: This is too Funny but I can say this least im ahead in PartyPoker Thank God

25 MtDewVirus 12.06.04 at 1:42 pm: More evidence of Party being rigged….

Just the other day I was playing and noticed that the dealer was holding a red deck and everyone at the table had blue cards. I couldn’t believe it! As soon as I went to another table, everyone had red cards again. I think I caught them “red-handed” so to speak.
26 pokerforums.net 12.06.04 at 2:34 pm: Very funny. A nice link for our members.
27 RG 12.06.04 at 6:32 pm: Hahahahahahaha…so cool :)

Another thing is that there are six players on the waiting list but still there´s a seat reserved - for who………?

I guess it is for the dealer´s wife.
28 cody 12.07.04 at 10:44 pm: funny…………..a little waste of time though
lol

have a good one,

30 harrison1303 12.08.04 at 6:27 am: brilliant . was playing on pacific poker and some lad came on serious as u like and said ive got proof online poker is rigged . WHAT A MORON
31 guest 12.08.04 at 7:00 am: I fucking knew it. Thanks for your dedication and confirming I was right all along. I’m never playing online poker again. I’ve always suspected the dealer, but I never even thought about the guy with the ace up his sleave. It’s over for me.
32 sly eye bob 12.08.04 at 4:34 pm: I like it, well done. Something else you missed was that the dealer bares a close ressemblance to David Blaine.He is infact his older brother Peter and he can miraculously make cards appear & disappear under peoples hands without anyone noticing just like his brother.
Just one more thing mr Columbo, how did you manage to sneak the eye in the sky tape out of the security room.
33 BabyFace 12.09.04 at 4:33 am: LOL, I knew it!! ;o)
34 7-11 12.12.04 at 6:38 am: I’ll tell you what.. It’s the god damn libians behind it all!
35 Robert 12.12.04 at 9:52 pm: Beautiful! Especially the part with the software blocking the players view. Love it.
36 ArhusJ. 12.17.04 at 4:12 am: Thank you for making my day !
This is getting bookmarked for every person posting a “Rigged” post on RGP….
37 Mike 12.19.04 at 4:41 pm: That is the gayest thing I have ever seen. Fucking faggot. That is so gay.. It’s not like players have their own minds. Dumbass.

42 PartyPoker Cheats 01.11.05 at 2:57 am: Well, I guess there were no need to discover it with Software from CIA for $50. There are some image editors for free :)
43 Chris 01.11.05 at 9:20 am: Perhaps the funniest thing I have seen in a long, long time.
44 Charlie L 01.18.05 at 10:47 am: Funny.

Thanks for doing it.

I knew the games were rigged because nobody EVER threw their chips into the pot wild — they were always so nicely stacked.

And NOBODY can split complicated, multiple all-in pots that fast. Not even the dealers at the MGM.
45 Brad 01.18.05 at 1:46 pm: Great work man. Funny as hell.

50 american 01.23.05 at 9:48 pm: The dealer doesn’t have a chair…meaning the reason he deals off of the bottom of the deck is to only retrieve his balance every few hands. The guy with the tie matching his hair does indeed have a card in his sleeve. Only, it’s from an uno deck, therefore he is a moron!

52 What A Joke 01.29.05 at 1:21 pm: Excelent con, if anyone took the time to enlarge the original picture you will see that thos cards have been added in.

85 Bob 03.22.05 at 8:15 am: 24 hours in a day - 24 beerws in a case. Coincidence? I think not! Conspiracy, yes.
86 Frank 03.22.05 at 10:00 am: What a gong show, lamest thing ive seen in a while, why would you even waste your time to to prove that PP cheats?
87 Al Lin 03.22.05 at 7:57 pm: And now for the rest of the story.
88 Wurm Herman 03.29.05 at 8:20 pm: I agree with a statement made above. The dealer IS INDEED dealing off the bottom of the deck, and there is a bar in place to protect the sight of that. However the “card” placed in the players sleeve is a scam in itself. To anyone that doesn’t know what I mean, go ahead and copy the ORIGINAL image, then paste it into Paint and blow it up. You’ll see there is no card up the man’s sleeve, he’s just a greaseball, hate him for that. But don’t call him a cheater. Funny yes, but I left Party Poker because I play a site that atleast has more competitive players, instead of the jackasses that just go all-in every hand on 3 7 offsuit, and I’ll agree some of the hands I’ve seen dealt are a little fishy, and the computer has a serious hard-on for giving the flushes, even if puts all 13 cards of a suit into play, where are the realistic odds?
89 Dan 04.01.05 at 9:45 am: “Excelent con, if anyone took the time to enlarge the original picture you will see that thos cards have been added in. The first give away is the different resolutions”
Who the hell is this idiot?
You mean they were photoshopped?? No way!!!!!
90 BOB 04.01.05 at 10:18 pm: that’s awesome… i should sit in that seat now and claim i’m cheating just for fun… i love these guys who comment about how pissed they are you’re ruining business because it’s completely obvious that the avatars have nothing to do with the cards coming out

i really hope that jonnyblaze and perryf and mike were joking when they saw this because they looked pretty pissed… it’s almost like blue collar comedy tour… “here’s your sign”
91 mememe 04.06.05 at 11:42 pm: I don’t get it. Why isn’t anyone doing anything about this cheating.It’s not fair
92 jj 06.23.05 at 4:35 am: First of all I play on numerous online poker sites. Every poker site pans out to be genuine that I have played, except Party Poker. I am 100% sure that Party Poker is rigged. Aside from my personal expereinces with Party Poker, you can go anywhere on the internet and see thousands of people that say the same thing, but you don’t read anything about the other poker sites. Why does Party Poker continually come up? It’s the only site if you flop two pair it’s usually a good idea to fold or fold pocket aces for that matter.
When I play online poker I usually play 4 games at once and the tables flops (at Party Poker)coincide from table to table, which sometimes I can figure out whether or not to play my hand based on what happens at the other tables Mostly I avoid Party Poker, but I am sure their is a way to use this rigged site to your advantage in knowing that it is fixed. I just can’t believe that this site gets away with this blantant and obvious card rigging. I am pissed and something needs to be done about it. Party Poker needs to be audited and taken off the internet.
93 Caz 06.26.05 at 7:19 pm: Nice work ! Funny as heck !
94 skullsbeneath 06.30.05 at 4:51 pm: The guy with blonde hair is a terrorist too.
95 Stephen 08.01.05 at 1:53 am: LOL. Have you ever seen breaking Vegas. the RNG can be tweaked by a code. It is possible to rigg a online poker game. You just need access to the software.
96 Mensa Man Fred 08.09.05 at 10:59 pm: Hmmm…look at player#7.Tell me what’s odd about him.That’s right,you got it,he is playing with the dealer button!!!Why is his left hand UNDER it?Is he putting knuckle sweat imprints under it to pass along a secret code to player # 8for the next round?Maybe it’s a double secret code to player # 2 to fix his right cuff.What’s in there?
Summary > The Dealer and players 1,2,7,8,9,10 are all cheating!!!
Hmmm… the table is definitely rigged!!!
97 poopypants 08.30.05 at 2:10 pm: POOP SANDIWCH!

103 the game 10.13.05 at 10:01 pm: That was an amazing feat dude. Your work is something to be proud of. I was not really aware of the cheating the occurs in online gambling sites. Well, now I know how to detect cheating. Thanks to your comprehensive study, no one is going to fool me now.
104 flopcat 10.17.05 at 10:05 am: LOL histerical

almost as funny as the fools that really think its NOT rigged.

like the guy that plays pacific and called somebody a moron.

hey i guess its just one of those things that they deal more full houses than flushes. you might want to start counting. i did. ob but wait i must be a moron. i think thats proof. silly me didnt realize that your supposed to have more full houses than flushes.
105 Rob 10.17.05 at 10:16 am: audit all of them. not only is party not the only one i can no longer find one thats honest. Reason: bad player puts 100 in site sits at 36 call every card.
random cards loses in 20 hands 10 minutes
players get 80 site gets 20 rake. guy never comes back
rigged cards site insures he wins half he shouldnt
it takes 600 hands b4 he loses his money.
good players get 20 site gets 80 in rake
he returns cause its so much fun and thinks he just got unlucky lol
if even 1 site is like this the bad players flock to it. the good ones chase the fish to the rigged site. honest sites either go under or join the club. more players plus larger pct of the deposits go to rake. tough to stay honest and go out of busines.
we need REAL regulation. not south african division of pwc or indian gaming club you give em heap big wampam we letem u steal from white man.
106 David 10.18.05 at 5:44 am: Great spoof. It’s tiresome seeing all the moans about poker being rigged on the forums, so it’s good to see someone taking them as seriously as they deserve. Got any more ’scam alerts’?
107 Joe 10.28.05 at 9:14 am: I agree with JJ and Rob. I also play multiple sites and found the Partypoker network to be biased toward lesser probability hands, mostly if the idiot playing them raises and reraises.

I have heard this “reward the raiser” idea can be programed into the algorythm, but have only noticed a bias at partypoker.

PokerStars and Pokerroom seemed much more realistic when it comes to those miracle hands hitting, but if you insist on playing with the larger crowd at partypoker, then raise, raise, raise.

Rob also had an excellent analysis of the incentive behind it.

Its fun to laugh at people when they suggest a site is rigged, but in the case of Partypoker it may not be completely unfounded. I would strongly suggest one of the other sites.
108 william 11.06.05 at 5:41 am: vary interesting partypoker always has a way of making certain seats at a poker table win and everyone else once in every 15 hands for 1 win. i will try to see if i can find some totally trueful sites. i also think that paradisepoker.net might also be rigged. nice work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
109 william 11.06.05 at 5:43 am: check paradisepoker.net for cons
110 PokerKing 11.12.05 at 9:09 am: I think the ones’s that talk shit about PartyPoker are losers and can’t play the game
111 PokerKing 11.12.05 at 9:11 am: The one’s that talk stuff about PartyPoker I bet can’t play the game and they are A POORRRRRRRRRR LOSER and can’t PLAY
112 pokerchip 11.23.05 at 2:43 am: with all the corporate scum out there you have to be naive not to realize that online poker is fixed. The sites are loaded with shills and programming to speed up play.

As an expert player i have seen an inordinate amount of bad beats on many of the sites
113 Online Poker Sucks 11.23.05 at 11:55 pm: there are definately poker bots, collusion and many other forms of cheating online. try to make light of it, but the majority of the world knows that it’s true.
114 blend 12.04.05 at 7:56 pm: While that is a funny post, the actual statistic tell a different story. After running a statistical review of Party Poker over 35,000 hands and 8 different players we found the distribution of cards and winning hands to be heavily scewed toward certain outcomes. For one example, an inordinate amount of straights, almost 4 times the random expectation per hands played, appeared in our study. For a poker player attempting to play with the odds, these rel=sults were startling to way the least. While we can not say for certain whether Party Poker has written these irregularities into their program, or if they are even aware of them, it is not advisable to play at a site where the deal is not random as robots and other statistical methods of cheating could be possible. While most internet poker sites have not shown these irregularities, we strongly advise to avoid Party Poker. Too many other poker sites with a better chance of being legite to take a chance on a suspicious site.
115 Bill 12.04.05 at 8:26 pm: Who is “we” and would you be willing to share that hand history with the public? Because I have several hundred thousands hands on Party and they don’t show any abnormalities.
116 justtookitlarge 12.10.05 at 4:45 am: I had a few posts here, and they seem to be gone. Musta hit a nerve or something?
117 justtookitlarge 12.10.05 at 4:48 am: Oh, by the way, the flops are 100% rigged for action. Every site, not just Party Poker. Its called “Optimized for maximum profit”. And Im a winning player HAHA. Hey Bill, where did all my posts go?
118 moneeybagz 12.21.05 at 7:23 pm: there are so called cheats that work on most poker sites, they are mathmatical based by entering in your dealt card and any exposed cards and in what postion these cards were in it only takes about 25 hands before it starts to work. you can see for your self http://www.powerpokerwizard.com i think you will be amazed.
119 Bill 12.21.05 at 8:07 pm: MoneeyBagz,

I’ve seen the ads but based on what I know about RNG and the shuffling methods used by most of today’s card rooms, I think the produce is bs. I’ve yet to see any respected mathematician or poker player validate the results.
