    Stupid Rigged Casinos
    I kinda got carried away yesterday and decided to play a bit of blackjack. Lets just say it did not turn out very well. Has any1 else played these rigged games and lost like me. Also is there a way i can just block the games through my browser, so when i click on it, it says like Go AWAY or Access Is Forbidden?

    Most sportsbooks will disable the casino option if you ask them.

    I would NEVER play a casino game online.

      Usually books will disable the casino feature if you Email them and request it.

        I just don't play casinos online either, I think it is pretty rough, tried that once and it didn't work for me. I would rather go to the casinos around town if I wanted to do that.

            Never?

            Many online casinos will offer promotional bonuses that make it possible to use certain strategies (low variance, low house edge games) that make it mathematically more likely for the player to win money than to lose. Would you not take advantage of that?

              No. You have no idea what software they use. You have no idea if they are not manipulating the game unfairly. I guarantee you that if you start winning big an alarm will go off in their office and someone will manually manipulate the game in the casino's favor.

                You guarantee it? If you were to back that guarantee with any amount of money you would be broke quickly. Your words are cheap.

                    I have not had that experience. I have made a little over $3K playing $5/hand blackjack at more than a hundred online casinos (taking advantage of the bonus promotions).

                    As with sportsbooks, there are numerous online casino watchdog groups (Casinomeister probably the most influential). From my experience (and reading) a much higher percentage of online sportsbooks than casinos get blacklisted for ripping off players.

                    I think your reaction is not uncommon, though. Of all my online gambling activities (sports, poker, casinos) I am most paranoid about casinos. In addition to screwing a player by refusing to pay they also have the most opportunity to rig the game in a way that would be nearly impossible to prove. Statistics have borne out over time for me that it isn't happening, but it still could.

                    I have deposited and played at hundreds of casinos, poker rooms and sportsbooks, receiving a steady stream of friendly assurances along the way that I was setting myself up to be ripped off. Ironically, the closest I have ever come to this was at the hands of my own government when they prevented Neteller from paying me the $6,500 that was in my account there for 9 months.

                      about 40% of my income comes from online casino's , if they are rigged, then they are not very good at it.

                      Mug punters always blame cheating software , its the same with bad poker players who are convinced all poker software makes them have bad beats.

                      Fools and their money, never cease to amaze.

                        This topic has been kicked around allot. Bottom line is if I am not seeing the dealer shuffle in front of me I NO PLAY. Save yourself from stress, ask your book service to disable your casino access.
