Confused why you’re losing so much money online – even as a winning player? That’s because online poker isn’t what it seems. Our goal is to educate and protect players by exposing the truth and giving them the opportunity and tools to win real money while experiencing what real poker is like.
Ever feel like you’re playing perfect poker but still losing to players who never make a mistake? That’s because you’re playing against bots – automated accounts that are programmed to play flawlessly and drain real players’ bankrolls.
Bot accounts never tilt, never missclick and are virtually unbeatable giving real players little chance of winning. Often operated by site insiders and club owners, bots flood online poker sites and clubs across the world.
If you keep playing against them, not only will your bankroll suffer – so will your entire poker experience.
Most large private clubs and online sites operate like pyramid schemes. Club owners aggressively recruit anyone willing to be an agent, meaning completely random, unvetted individuals end up managing large sums of player money.
There is NO regulation or protection regarding deposits or withdrawals. Unless you personally know your agent, you have ZERO guarantee that your money is safe.
Anyone who’s been involved in big unions long-term (which is rare due to the turnover) will tell you: there’s far more controversy and fraud than legitimacy. Trusting a random person across the country to manage your online poker money is obviously risky — and often disastrous.
In many online poker rooms, players aren’t just playing solo – they’re secretely working together to take your money. This is called collusion, and it’s one of the most common forms of cheating in online poker.
Most sites don’t have GPS checks or real security systems to stop it. Even if you think you’re facing one opponent, you could easily be up against a coordinated team pretending to be strangers – working together to trap you and drain your bankroll.
Most major online poker sites require a long and frustrating verification process. You’re asked to upload photos of your ID as well as banking details and other forms of documentation just to access your money.
This can take days to process and, in some cases, weeks if anything goes incorrectly. For most players, it feels intrusive, slow, and unnecessary – when all they want to do is play.
Many poker clubs and sites advertise big rewards, leaderboards, and jackpots – but the truth is, you will lose far more than you’ll ever win.
The leaderboard is dominated by grinders and bots, and the deposit bonuses or rakeback you receive have little real value. You will end up playing more, raking more money for the club owner – while slowly draining your own bankroll.
These rewards aren’t designed to help you profit – they’re designed to keep you in the game. Unless you are the top .001% of players, you’re funding the system. And even if you get that lucky, ask yourself:
Do you trust a faceless club owner on Telegram to send you thousands of dollars?
Many big poker clubs and sites advertise “soft games”, but in reality, the games are filled with grinders and sharks that are playing purely for profit.
These pro-level players often multi-table, using advanced strategies to exploit anyone who isn’t playing perfectly. Beginner and intermediate players don’t stand a chance – and they’re not given a fair environment to even improve their game.
The result? You deposit thinking your joining a soft, casual game… but you end up getting crushed by a system designed to feed the few and drain the rest.
Most online poker clubs and sites take more money out of the pot than you might realize – this is called rake. And when rake gets too high, winning long term becomes nearly impossible.
In many rooms, rake can be as high as 10% per hand making it impossible for even winning players to profit in the long run. Over time, the only people that win are the club owners and agents who take a cut out of each pot.
Many clubs use a tax/rebate systems where you receive an X% chip bonus when depositing – but when its time to cash out they claim back the same X%. The result? You will end up losing money, even if you win at the tables.
For example, if you deposited $100 with a 15% tax/rebate system (which is very common), you would receive 117 chips. But if you later win 1,000 chips and want to cash the club will only pay out $850 – taking their 15% off the top.
No matter how well you play, this system ensures that the house will always win, and the players will lose. It’s one of the many ways that club owners and insiders squeeze money from the very people who trust them enough to play in their rooms.
In many large poker rooms your often not just playing with people from your region but players from all over the world, many with unstable connections.
This causes annoying delays like having to sit mid hand while someone attempts to reconnect. Some people also use VPNs which allows them to play in games they normally shouldn’t be allowed to.
Playing people from other countries as well as delays will make your poker experience far less enjoyable.
