Are most online poker sites honest?

Question

Are most online poker sites honest?

Answer 1

I can say yes, most online poker sites are honest.  

There is an organization called eCOGRA (eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) that provides participating casinos with a set of player-sensitive regulations that are checked by independent inspection and enforced by ongoing monitoring.

Groups such as the Kahnawake Gaming Commission are popular among a number of the poker sites for regulating and overseeing the poker sites. These commissions don't check the validity of the deal, however, and instead just act as regulators to ensure that a site is operating under the bounds of their agreements.  In all honestly, this more or less means the commission is paid to act as an authority, because there's not a lot of power they have over the poker sites!

Gaming sites that are members of these organizations agree to be bound by certain rules and regulations regarding fair play, dispute resolution, and the like. In my opinion, sites that are members of these organizations are legitimate and can be trusted.

Answer 6

There are a few bad apples out there, but generally you can rely on the popular sites to give you a good game.  Big poker sites can't afford to have a bad reputation.  Most arguments you will get will be from bad players who play bad hands or don't quite understand how odds work in poker.  

Remember a few points when you hear someone talking about a poker site being rigged.  First, poker sites make money from rake and tournament fees.  They don't make money when you go all in on one hand and lose a stack of your bankroll.  Second, it costs the poker site money when you use their payment processors.  So if you're making deposits (that means you've got another problem, all-together) you're costing the site more money than you're likely bringing in.  

If you can play disciplined, play good hands, play smart, and manage your bankroll properly, you'll have no problems making money playing online poker.  For a list of reliable sites, check http://dagus-statistics.com/reviews.htm where you'll find bonus codes to top poker sites as as well as tips to deposit and withdraw.  Hope this helps.
