    just curious if online casinos have rules and regulation in place to stp them manipulating the system to there advantage on games such as roulette or craps.

    now i know the house always has the advantage but im wondering if you were on a streak could there system recongnise you hot run and shut you down.

    obviously they would let a few through for there success stories

    Of course they have regulators. Why would you play roullette anyway? Its a ****ing mugs game.

    No, they are all rigged, mate. Just do a search through this forum, you will see hundreds of posts about online poker and casinos and how they cheat you out of your hard earned.

    Bingo, was in france during the summer and hit a casino hoping for a game of poker but ended up throwing a score down on the roulette table, mrs jaysoose told me to throw a couple of euro on 18....put three on the number and 4 on the corners.....'no more bets'....spinn spin spin.....18...jackpot...lifted my chips and walked to the blackjack table the guy running the table didnt look happy when i walked out of the casino an hour later €500 up.

    There was an old local woman beside me that must have changed a grand and was throwing chips on every number out there, had to explain to mrs jaysoose that she was mental cos even if she hit a number she would just about get her money back. Needless to say she missed 99 percent of the time....roulette is a mugs game indeed.

    Why would they bother running the risk of rigging a game that is set up to guarantee they make money in the long run anyway? It'd be a stupid move, better off not rigging it and letting people slowly bleed money to them spin by spin

    The best resource for this type of discussion is Casinomeister. The RNGs used by most casinos are independently checked by 3rd party companies. There have been and there continues to be rogue online casinos who have their software rigged in favour of the house. This has been discovered on numerous occasions in the past and IM sure will be again in the future. The lack of gambling regulation in various parts of the world makes it possible to setup a gaming site and rig the system.

    They're all in favour of the house! :P

    Just make sure, if you are going to play at a casino, to choose a reputable one, possibly one with brick and mortar outlets behind their online gaming.

    Variance can be high. If you didn't have a big reserve and a few people ran hot then it could cause short term cashflow issues. With little or not regulation I'd be shocked if a bunch of them weren't rigging it.
    Just play on respected rooms like Boyles, PP etc who have too much to lose or better yet do something productive.
