At least one of those sites, paradisepoker, has their hand histories audited by a top level accounting firm for randomness. They post the certification letters online so you can view them in order to quell any thought of corruption.
About every single major poker site claims to have this "system authentication" and they're all as corrupt as the next.
It doesn't take a detective to notice how flawed the RNG's are on online poker sites. They're rigged to create action.

I doubt PriceWaterhouseCoopers would put their name on the line pubically saying that the results of the hands show that each hand is dealt with a new 52 card deck if that wasn't really the case. Don't you think it could also be that because you play so many more hands you just see better hands more often, in actual time? I was playing on a site a while ago and they were in the tens or hundreds of billions of hands dealt already.
It has nothing to do with the amount of hands played. When you see one card straight and/or flush opportunities on average every three hands then something is wrong with the Random Number Generator's. Go to a casino and play for a few hours. See how many hands pass before one of the ridiculous setup hands that occur online with regularity shows up.
All you have to do is play online for at least six months and you can't deny the inherent problems with the system. I mean cmon, you see it all the time on tv where someone has a flush while in the same hand someone else has a straight, another has a set, and another has a boat. It just doesn't happen.

Why not? Do you actually think someone out there has no life to the point in which they take their own time to statistically track and prove wrong a claim for an online poker site?

online stuff is technically all rigged..... the game is a program..... so with a program anything can be modified.... to make it fair they set it to random... but it's not really random... if you're able to hack and you nkow what you're doing you can figure out the pattern of the random numbers/cards given out each time...... so eventually you'll know exatly what number/card will be next.....

I'd refute this but you've clearly made up your mind and reasoning with you would just result in
While you may think it's rigged I can say with certainty that it is not. You may be cynical enough to think a billion dollar company puts its entire professional reputation on the line because "someone out there has no life to the point in which they take their own time to statistically track and prove wrong a claim for an online poker site?" That "no life" departments entire purpose of making a six figure salary is to validate the claims put forth in that letter. If they are patently committing fraud and conspiracy, as you seem to think they are, then we'll surely see a wave of litigation in the future.
