I am a junior investor in a group building 3 hotels and 1 casino in the US. We were in the process of starting an online poker site but the gaming commission insinuated that our gaming license could be revoked under current laws even though we would not accept US customers.
We contracted with a gaming software company that specialized in poker and gambling sites.They claim to have worked on many of the major sites.Due to nondisclosure and confidentiality agreements they can not name names, nor can we.They can give hints such as saying they designed one of the top 2 sites.
During our several meetings they showed us how and why to manipulate the cards.The money is made from rake and tourny fees.In cash games if you let the hands win that should post flop you will end up with a site full of expert players.Example hand would be KK vs QTo on K73 rb flop.KK should win over 95% of the time.I am guessing at percentages.Turn river JA.What you program or adjust is what percentage a flopped set loses to a runner runner straight or flush.As long starting hands hold up within a few percentage points of what they should it can be explained as variance and when someone complains on a forum of the site being rigged , they will be flamed, ridiculed. laughed at and told it is variance or a bad beat.
By adjusting the percentages like this also tackles another problem, the Bots.Since most bots are based on math you dont have to spend a lot of time chasing them down.That is why when someone complains about a suspected bot and puts it on a forum and the poker site responds by saying they have tools in place to identify a bot and they wont give many details.It seems like they are not doing anything and they aren't. It is just PR.The only time a site has to worry about a bot is if it has the percentages figured out.
This is just a quick snippet of what can be done but as the software company said, they can program anything we want to do and the best part is when a complaint is made on a public forum the players getting screwed will be the ones defending the poker site.
FWIW I posted on another forum 3 or 4 years ago about being able to others hole cards and got laughed at by everyone.Top internet pros told me it was impossible.
