We just launched our own casino for the first time, and I must say that initially i was against it. My personal feeling was always that they were rigged. i never won at any online casino that i played at. However, after objective reflection, I concluded that there were always junctures when I was ahead. The sick f.ck side of my just never stopped when i was ahead, and invariably, i played and pressed until a cold streak did me in. I have done massive due diligence to find out of these things are truly legit as I didn't want our company to be associated with anything that is not above board. After talking to all of the major players in the casino business along with other very credible sportsbook owners like Bill Scott, etc., I have concluded that they are 1000% legit. Think about it, does Vegas cheat? NO, they don't have to. Online casinos are no different. Think about this also. Don't you all think that if it truly leaked that software was built to scam that it would be the end. I know it would. There is too much for sportsbooks to lose for them to get into the scamming software game. Bottom line. My advice is that if you have ANY degree of propensity to play above your head, don't even start. My opinion is that the reason that nobody wins is because when you are ahead, it ain't like Vegas, where you go to the cashier and take the money to buy a nice dinner. Online, it is only a digit on your computer, and there is nothing to drag you away. These casinos ARE legit, but please don't play more than you can afford, and when you are ahead, try to stop. Take that $300.00 score and turn your computer off, you will thank yourself in the morning.
RIO SHILL- In all due respect, they may be legit, but the fact is there is no governing body that says they are.
Until then, online casinos must be taken with a grain of salt.
For instance, live video poker on the cruise boats have NO REGULATION and thus may or may not be on the up and up like VP machines in Nevada.

Believe it or not Ive had alot more success with blackjack online than with land based casinos. Although most people complain that the online casinos are rigged, it is rigged for you to win also. There are many many times you can win 5 hands or more in a row online.(This is almost always followed by the casino going on a run of its own, so its best to leave after your run has taken place). In real life even the hottest person on the table rarely wins 5 in a row.
The opposite has held true with baccarat though,Ive seen alot more winning hands in a row in real life compared to online.
Not that anyone needs anymore evidence to show how rigged online casinos are, but everytime I would lose connection with the hands already dealt, I would come back to having a decent hand or having to hit another card and lost 100% of those hands when signing back online with it happening over 50 times with java casinos.

A++++++ on skybook's casino!
you do not have to do any transfers or anything like that you click a game and play, same as placing a wager.
i played 57 hands of black jack won 28 and lost 29. . .very fair. (this shows up in transactions, and breaks it down by game played which is also nice)
well done rio

Gambling Shark is right about offshores. The way I beat them, and consistently, bet small, or minimum. Grind along 1 unit. Never ever press after a loss. When you hit 2 in a row, make next bet double, not after first win. Then I would press 50% after each win. The second key was setting a win target and loss stop. For example I grind along, hit that winning streak, Up 120 units. If I drop back to 100, I quit. If I streak again, I make 220, after last bet loss, I lose 20, stop at 200. Always use the 100 level you passed as a stopping point back. On initial play, if you lose 100, you stop, every time. If you do this, and play software with long strings, you will win consistently. If you lose 10 straight, just shake your head and keep betting, 1 unit. It takes patience and discipline both. I have used that at several places. It seemed some programs different from others. You could play for hours at one place, hundreds of hands, and never win more than 4 straight. I would also track my results on pen and paper, like backgammon. If I played at a place, that after a several hundred sampling, had very few streaks, mostly chop, I would keep moving. I would also leave if I was winning at a place and it started ot chop. I always got paranoid of either human intervention, changing progam for no streaks or program learning, where game changes up when you develop a pattern, or playing style. Made money consistently doing this, even better than the casinos and less distractions, way more bets per hour. No stiff on the table at third taking the dealers bust. No hassles. Toughest part is when you run a parlay up, and have to double and get blown up. I just got bored and tired. Of course you have to have basic strategy down, and a reference card for those splits and doubles. Possibly surrender. Send any royalties to OF...
I have had a great deal of success and a lot of terrible times playing online. I agree you must have the discipline to quit after a big run - its very, very unlikely you will have two big runs where you win 8 or 9 in a row in one session. I often get very conservative about doubling during a big run becuase they will kill you just when you think you cant lose.
All the bj games software are rigged...My friend is a top computer programmer and there are 40 ways in which the games software can be adjusted toward the house. this includes ommitting certain cards in certain instances...there is no regulation and the software can be set to do virtually anything...If u think the games are fair I have a bridge in brooklyn for sale cheap.
I have had close to $30,000 in action at skybook's casino according to my transacion info. it has just opened and it is incredibly addictive. i will not tell you my fav game, but it rocks. can't say enough good things about it. A+++++ RIO/SKY. . .I have played at several others before there is something about theirs that just seems so much better, they did their homework. . .only thing that i think will topple everyone is the much anticipated pinnacle casino
