PokerTH

Ever since I did some all ins and played bingo, my account has been rigged. Now if I play tight and aggressive I've had players constantly hit there 2 outs on a river to win. I wouldn't think this is true, but I've been hearing a lot of others players saying the same thing. Too many have been seeing this happen.
If others players have been having this happen please tell your stories here and others to make it more aware of the problems.

If you can read code, I recommend taking a look at https://github.com/pokerth/pokerth/blob ... /tools.cpp

There, you can find the random number generator that gets used. While there is no guarantee that this rng is run on the particular server as well, there's no reason to believe this isn't the case.

He wrote 3 paragraphs and didn't read my comment.I said my account was fine and then I started going all in and playing bingo poker and now my count's blacklisted.It's black listed if you read that you would have known.It's writing up three paragraph paper about nothing

Then to the guy about the code. Right off the bat, if you go all in too many hands they give you a time ban, why am I getting banned if I'm going all in every hand that's not against the rules, huh?
If they do that then what else is in the code?

We have an "anti-bingo" filter in place. You're only allowed 3 games per hour.

It’s definitely frustrating when it feels like the odds are consistently going against you, especially after taking some big risks in games like bingo or going all-in. Variance is a natural part of any gambling experience, and even though improbable outcomes can happen, they often stand out more in our memory than the countless average results.

That said, you're not alone in your experience—many players have felt that way, especially in online platforms where the randomness can seem less tangible. If you’re suspicious about a pattern, one thing you could do is track your hands and results over time. This data can help you assess whether there's genuinely something off or if it's just a run of bad luck.

Hearing from others who share similar experiences could also shed light on whether there’s a broader concern or just a perception issue. It’s always good to stay informed and, if needed, bring attention to the platform for transparency.

As another player already mentioned: this software is open source - with no purpose on gaining money at all. That means: the current running server code esp. the RNG can be reviewed on github with a simple repo-search - https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Apokerth%2Fpokerth%20random&type=code

This feature has been requested and discussed before implementation with the community - it is also public in the stable branch of pokerth
on github.

What else do you expect we might hide? ... just to repeat: why should we hide things in a non-profit open source project? ... makes no sense to me.

EDIT: honestly it feels like running against wind-mills always pointing out that this platform is open source - every code line is open source!

I'm glad we have a good thread and discussion on this. Its important to have people interact with the site and be able to talk to the community.
At the end of this year I'll make another post about something that has intrested me for a while on this site. Please everyone keep leaving comments and come up with your own discussions.

I had similar feelings recently at the end of few hands I played.

Far from it that I think it's rigged and I have great respect for the OpenSource community (everyday Linux user for over a decade now)
but in light of latest "bug" I report ( "transparent" cards, everyone wins...)
ones cannot but wonders, how the game mechanics are organized.
I'm no developer, and seeing the code means nothing to me, so I would like if someone can point us to some link, doc or can explain in laymen terms how game is functioning.

Are data about players cards at server up until it suppose to be shown?
Are Flop, Turn, River cards, transmitted to every players app and shown sequentially or also kept on the server in the "card deck" until it has to be shown?

Thank you

This is just a glitch when you have a bad connection and you reconnect. The "transparent" cards are cards from one of the last hands. They are not cards from the current hand. And the "everyone wins" comes from the same problem. If you would look into the logs of another player who didn't get disconnected you would not see that behaviour.

All the shuffling etc. is done on the server. You only see your own cards, any cards are on the board and the cards which get revealed by the other players.
