Re: How does the random card generator at the internet poker sites work?

Hi
By the way even though it is possible to cheat if the poker rooms are using approach number 2, the cheater will probably be sentenced to prison if discovered, since the crime will be similar to hacking a bank. And I guess that will scare most players from cheating this way. "
Utter silliness. No one will be sent to jail for hacking a poker site. 1) the site wouldn't want the bad publicity and it's not their money that's lost anyway and 2) these things are all based offshore and aren't really legal in the US. How're they going to get US authorities to devote the resources to capture and prosecute what to the US would be a minor crime against an offshore entity.
Also, threat of jail (and there is no threat here) doesn't deter everyone from committing crimes.
