How to enter the giveaway?

Simply post your Stake username below! You'll need to ensure you have at least 10 posts. Don't try to abuse this giveaway as it'll lead to a perm forum suspension 🙈
How are winners chosen?

When you post on the forum you will be assigned both a page number & a post number. Towards the end of the stream I will draw 5 random pages for each VIP host to choose winners from.

Essentially you're hoping that I draw your page number on live stream & that the person assigned your page picks you as a winner! I will also draw 7 random post numbers. If your post number is drawn you will also win. 

Want to increase your chances of winning?

1. Stay tuned into the live stream for tips on how to edit your post to include certain information for a higher chance 😎
2. Be super nice to your VIP host & don't give them a hard time 😂
3. One entry per household only. Multiple entries will have you disqualified

Despite bad beats, online poker remains one of the safest environments in which to play. Poker rooms take their commission directly from the buy-in or the rake, as clearly stated. So why would they risk damaging their reputation and jeopardizing their gaming licenses?
Even if cheating were to exist, it would only benefit another player who might, at best, win a few dozen dollars. The poker room itself would gain absolutely nothing. On the contrary, it would expose itself to disputes, negative publicity, and serious risks to a capital valued in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
Card shuffling and dealing systems are also certified and subject to strict controls. The same applies to other casino games such as roulette, which is very unlikely to be rigged through technical or magnetic means. Players who complain on forums usually lose between $10 and $100, while failing to notice that, during the same session, other players have won between $15,000 and $100,000.
As for slot machines and similar games, they rely on random number generators (RNGs) programmed with predefined probabilities. These games are therefore purely based on chance.
It is far more productive to stop constantly blaming poker rooms and instead focus on studying the game itself: probabilities, outs, bankroll management, and decision-making. Ultimately, players should question their own approach to the game first.
