Some of these sites got their Source code leaked and you get white label copies of others, so you can go through the source

code, if you have the knowledge. Here is a guy who are trying to sell the Bustabit Source code,

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/selling-bustabit-v1-source-code-with-full-setup-only-for-002-btc-3281183 - I also heard that some sites claim to be provably fair, but they are not.

I know for a fact that Brick n mortar casinos have some slot machines that are rigged and this is no secret. 

Maybe the fiat currency ones could be ?
We honestly wouldn't know if it was fixed or not, the movie runner runner with ben affleck and justin timberlake actually talks about an online casino that is shady and stealing from the customers itself.

However I don't know how feasible it could be, people who try to scam their users and make money by shady ways can get less users by time and slowly die, if that happens as a casino owner it is hard to continue your life the way you do and there could be some type of issues created by other shady people that allowed you to exist for so long. I think if you take into account how many shady stuff you need to do to scam people than you will realize that it is not an easy life to be in.

Those people who lose money in gambling always think like that. They think that they have been scammed by the gambling sites, but I think that very little number of gambling sites may do that, if they will continue scamming people then people will not visit their gambling sites to play gambling there, people will then lost their trust on their gambling sites.

When a person gets into casino, either he wins or loses, this is all about a plan. The house has such strategies that this person gets attracted if he is a newbie. This attraction keeps on continuing and this man is about to be a victim of this destruction. Brothers, we lose here just to make someone else winner. Why we are doing it? don’t we know this is totally wrong?

I do agree with that knowing that the chance of the sports to be fixed are low (except on low leagues) but there are a lot of factors at play that could be of a factor to the betting sites and bookies. They take a percentage of something with the bets but with casinos, they have all the power and it could be fixed.

Some could be fixed and i am not holding brief for them but you can't also expect to get everything 100% fair without bearing some risk because the bookies are also there to make money and just like they are able to tilt the tables in the casinos they can also fix games or fizzle with some software code to their advantage.

Let me share the experience related to this. There were two friends of mine whom I introduced to a card game websites. They both enjoyed playing there and then after some time, they decided to play together on same table. They used to pick games and then sit on consecutive positions on the table. Then they used to help each by sending cards the other person needed and so on. They were caught and all their balance was suspended. Both of them appealed and one of the account was given back. You know why the site did this partiality because that account spent about 100 times the other.

Good question.
I think most are.
This is why smart-contract based gambling is growing in popularity.
However it has to be said that not everybody is instantly able to verify the nature of a smart-contract..

Its because humans want to say only what they want to hear. They wont say that the they were gambling and hence they lose. Nobody wants to make them-self look guilty in front of others and thus they will say that the casino was rigged that was why they lost.

Those who say so are idiots in the first place because if the casino was going to be rigged why did they even put their money in? The answer is simple - they were greedy for making money. But nobody wants to reveal their vices to public, do they?

Many bitcoin gambling sites will allow you to verify the results so you see that they did not changed the results after the fact, however the most common way in which I have seen casinos to scam their users is by simply not paying what their users won, if you take the time to look at the scam accusations board you will see that is the most common complain among those that complain about casinos, however sometimes the casino is right in not paying their customers since they cheated or violated the terms of service of the casino in which case they are completely justified in not paying the cheating customer.

The thing about gambling addicts is that they are aware of all these. They don't even need our advice for they have heard all of it. Now you asked, why don't these people leave gambling and do something worthwhile? The answer to this question is that they are bored and they have nothing better to do. Despite the consequences, they are still gambling just because that's what they are used to do when there's nothing to do. They are already comfortable in the amount of things that they know to the point that they do not feel the need learn a new thing. They got comfortable with their salary that they don't try to start learning new ways to earn more money.

To answer this thread's question, "Are online gambling games fixed?" Yes, they are fixed. They are fixed in a way that you're going to lose by the end. Why? Because as people, we only stop gambling when we have lost our money. When we're in profit, we don't really think of quitting. We keep on betting, thinking that we might be on a roll. The end result of gambling for us is fixed. We always go home thinking, "I should've cashed my money out when I still had that much profit. Now I lost it and I lost my bankroll as well. Well, nevermind, I enjoyed anyway. (now for justification of losing both the profit and money, we tell ourselves:) Isn't gambling for entertainment anyways? "

Oh brother when you know this is all about luck then why you aren’t making anything better in your life. Why you don’t leave this gambling and adopt some respectable and sensible way to earning. There are hundreds of sources of earning through which people are just making amazing money. You can do that too. Why to play with luck every day and getting defeat in a row.

Yeah, those who made false statement about trusted casino are those player that can't accept defeat. They don't really understand how gambling works. Even if they know they are convincing theirself that the site is rigged because of their losses.

Correct but there are casinos that are long standing in the community and if you are going to play on some casino then you should visit those only. Not those new casinos which pop up every now and then - you never know which one was built for being scam.

Those who are making up stories with false claims about casinos will keep doing so only because they lost money there because they were greedy. If you cant control your greed then you will end up losing all your money. That does not mean the casino owner is a scammer.

People are more interested in self-gains > when they dont get that they start complaining about the same thing that they put their trust on in the first place.

It is possible that we may have some good companies which are genuine to great extent and other where it is rigged and winning of the company owners are higher than yours or the participants. Also at the end it is a business for them and they want to earn money.

As a part of two gambling companies, I can say it's not, if it's a trusted site. There's definitely some scammers.

No doubt there are many rigged and unfair gambling sites out there. As a safe measure, just assume that every site is rigged until they can prove their fairness (provably fair). Almost every decent and big dice site offer a way for their user to prove the fairness of the game. That's where you should gamble your money.

So don't find the rigged ones but rather find the fair ones.

There are sites available out there that are definitely fixing their games to win in their favor and one way to spot such sites is by looking if they have the provably fair "feature". It is a technical way of saying that every roll of dice, every outcome of their games and any lose that you acquire comes from the fairness of their website. You can search for it and see a more detailed explanation about it.

Other information that you could use in checking if these online gambling games don't provide fixed games is by looking at the legitimate feedback provided by different users across different forums. This way, you'll know if the website that you're using right now is rigged and should be avoided or not.

The truth is..... Some of them are fixed. These are typically the newer sites that are looking to do either an exit scam, or slowly rig the games for as long as they can get away with (before then exit scamming). The older, more reputable casinos typically use the provably fair system to prove that the game is fair. If an online casino has been around for more than 2 years, you can be pretty sure it's not a scam.

Go for Provably fair casinos where, you can verify your bets and can find out the legitimacy of every bet you make. If you ask me how do i spot scam casinos, I would say I don't bet on every every casinos available. I only play on a few casinos which are popular and trusted by users. Gambling board on bitcointalk is a best way to see user reviews and feed backs on popular online gambling websites.
