I haven’t played online in forever so forgive my ignorance but is there a way to track winning players still? Is Sharkscope still a thing?

Seems to me if it is entirely luck based and not genuinely skill based, having consistent winners would be impossible. Not people who just binked one big score but a graph of steady consistent winning.

I think that would be the best way to determine luck vs skill in this situation.

So clarify, you think this is happening and players are being "equalized " or that it's not possible to apply RTP to poker in the first place.

I apologize for my ignorance, this is not my forte.

Their patent defines sweepstakes vs contest vs lotto.
They state they are applying RNG and RTP to all games.

This leads me to take them at face value that they are applying RTP to poker offerings.

The alternative is that they are running an illegal operation as per sweepstakes law, and as per their own admission in the patent. They clearly define that sweepstakes are chance based, not skill based. They then clearly define that a contest participant must use at least some skill. (Patent linked in earlier reply)

Poker is legally and federally ruled a skill game.

Therefore, without an RTP system, they're not running a sweepstakes, they are running a contest -> which would make them vulnerable to prosecution from the federal government.

By running some sort of 'equalizing' system they can ensure it stays a game of chance as opposed to a game of skill. They claim it's an RTP system. I'll take them at their word, but...it's also possible to be compliant without an RTP system, but rather some other 'equalizing' system that achieves a similar result of turning a skill game into a game of chance.

A lot of this is 'fine print' type information, and it can be hard to follow. This is where a lot of people get lost, because 99% of users skip the T&C. I happen to be the type of asshole to read them.

(I sent a list of corrections to T&C to support, because as time went on GP updated their T&C, but then didn't check to make sure references were also changed to reflect the changes. So they had phrases like "as per section 3.1 'blah blah blah', but section 3.1 was no longer section 'blah blah blah'. They had moved it to section 3.2 type corrections).
