This is my first post to this message board.
I am sick and tired of all this Paradise bashing. Hands down they are the most honest and well run site on the Net. I remember when they first came out. PP was the king and I played there. Then I saw that there were no longer any players there and I decided to give this new site that everyone was talking about a try. I never went back. All other site combined have fewer players than them.
All aspects of their operation are first class. Look at the description of their shuffling and randdom number generators -- you can see they are top notch technically (at least to me, and I have an MS in computer science). Look how careful they are to avoid spotlight -- that is a sure sign of a successful operation and the #1 leader who only desires other people/organizations/governments to stay out of their business.
I've had a few chances to deal with Paradise and all of those instances reaffirmed my view of them as a first class operation.
Once I had an all-in that I had to write them a message explaining why it happened. Tell me they don't care about the integrity of their games.
Once I accused a player of an all-in abuse. Within 15 minutes they sent me a well documented message why that player was OK -- and I agreed with them.
I once had technical problem and they worked very closely with one of their programmers and that was a great experience -- they even gave me $100 for my troubles.
And once, they sent me a message telling me that my chat priviledges would be suspended because I was chatting in a foreign language -- and I appologized to them like a good customer who values his priviledge to patronize a privately owned establishment.
Belive me, when they close some guy's account there is a lot under the surface that is not revealed. When you have millions of dollars invested in a business that is wildly profitable, you don't want anything to jeopardise it.
And just to finish this post off. Please stop all these posts about bad beats and poor shuffles. I've had AA loose to shameful hands and I've had big blinds kill other people's aces -- it's all part of the game and will never change just like the fundamental percentages that AA is better than 72.
