Is online VideoPoker beatable ?

[Cezar]

I understand that online sites don't offer any decent standard videopoker games, but I was wondering what you people think about progressive videopoker ?

I only checked out two online casinos (Casino on net and Roxy Palace) and both have progressives that pay on Royal Diamonds that seem to push the game well into +EV.

I understand a rather big bankroll would be required ( can someone give me a ballpark figure ?), is there something I'm missing besides that ?

And a related question, do you trust online casinos with autoplay ? I could ask this from casino customer support, but I will probably get a standard "autoplay is perfect" answer from some idiot who did not completely understand the question.
This is what bugs me, when I check the analyzer hints, all columns have only 2 decimal places. Say, you have

With the jackpot high enough discarding two kings would be the correct play, but could autoplay miscalculate it because of truncated decimals ?

Wizardofodds.com should have that info somewhere, or you could contact him and ask.

Every site I've played on with autoply lets you customize the strategy, so you don't have to use their standard strategy if you don't want.
