That's really good to know. So, in addition to the odds being in favor of the house, now there's another worry. It seems scheming scammers will come up with a way to ruin everything.

 

I know, @Diane Lane It sucks! I'd not be worried if the house it self was to be involved in some way. Nowadays that kind of thing wouldn't surprise me either, sadly. This is what we have come to It's sad, but true. I'm just so glad I don't play poker online.

 

I know some people who played poker online, and I never understand the game or why they would waste their money doing it! I know everyone needs to find a way to unwind, but loosing money doesn't seem to be a good method at all

I will alert those that I know playing poker online, and thanks for the information!

 

@IcyBC I'm glad you found this useful! Yes, warn them as soon as you can, they need to be careful with the things they download online. And yes, I have never understood why people would want to risk their hard earned money on something like this. My dad was a gambler, he was addicted to it, that is what drove him away from us.
