Message: [QUOTE="Andyreas, post: 6938848, member: 491394"] Independently of the reason for such a manipulation, each regulated (and even the unregulated ones) have implemented an RNG software which gets an external certificate. For example for Pokerstars, you can read about it here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.pokerstars.de/rng/[/URL] One provider explains in a blog how it works: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.capermint.com/blog/what-is-rng-certificate/[/URL] So in theory, there's the possibility to create (close to) true randomness in online poker. Of course the site could potentially still "tweak" their algorithms after certification, similar to the automotive industry creating a software that produces different results in the testing environment than under real conditions. If we assume they do it to prevent people from consistently winning (enough), I wonder why there are still people consistently winning at the game. Easily can be verified at SharkScope. On the other hand there are also many players consistently loosing at the game and still continuing. (Probably because they enjoy and don't care about the money.) Both are somewhat counterfeiting the idea. Shouldn't the sites make the first group loose (more) and the second win (more)? Last but not least, we also clearly see that sites discontinuing game types where too many people are winning consistently (or easily), like regular SnGs. Shouldn't they just do it by tweaking their algorithm (further)? In parallel, many sites are additionally promoting game types with an additional part of luck, like mystery bounties, shootouts, all-in or fold, etc. In these types, there's (even) less reason to manipulate anything because by construction there's an additional element of luck which makes the games harder to beat or make recreational players win (more).
