I have been playing on pokerstars for 5years and I have seen hands, (impossible hands) win. It seems like these sites are rigged to speed up the game progress, favoring the player with the most chips 74% of the time. I don't know if you'll remember PartyPoker, it was shut down due to set hands, and rigged play. However, most of these sites remain outside the U.S. show they are pretty much legal.

Anyone who gambles against an electronic opponent is asking to have their money taken away. It's too easy to rig, and you have no guarantee it's a legit game.

There's a reason they are outside the US: both to skirt US laws and to rip off customers without facing lawsuits or criminal charges.

Like many quasi-legal things, they just walk the fine line between being a 'total rip-off' and stealing everybody's money, and just ripping off a certain percentage of customers.

A funny thing is that these poker site operators get extorted by cyber-criminals all the time (DDOS attacks), and they often end up just paying the bad guys.
