Curacao IGNORES information about the fraud of iPoker (Red Star Poker – RSP Entertainment N.V.)
Greetings, guys, 2+2 forum users,
I find it reasonable to inform you about the situation and to warn about possible outcomes while you participate in games organized by iPoker.
A. On the 20th of February 2025, as a result of my investigations and iPoker’s software analysis, I uploaded a detailed information regarding the gaming process in the online-poker net.
https://twoplustwo.com/Discussion-of-Pok...
The key idea of the message is that the software helps “new”/ “weak” players of iPoker by making them equal to stronger players, to maximize the Company’s profit. So that, all the players bankrolls “melt down” as a commission for the game. And, as a result, the income of stronger players is reduced to a minimal level.
Here is an easy example of this, so you could understand “how it looks in a real poker game” –
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
While we don’t see opponents starting hands, the game looks “random” and we simply can’t prove it’s not.
It’s a common misunderstanding of players, that properly organized fraud can be “uncovered” without knowing of all your opponents starting hands. Here you can make sure that you can’t prove that the game is rigged by analyzing of a “standard” statistics/raw data –
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
But.
I managed to open player’s hands on heads-up games. And, as a result, I proved the game is not random –
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
More than that, while we discussed the problem on poker forums, I tested one more “visible” dependency in the gaming process of iPoker. The software is designed to provoke a tight player to participate in the postflop gaming, by dealing flops (community cards) which matches with a folded starting hand of this player.
And, even more, I managed to “decode” the algorithm of hands distributing between players. That the software simply generates “huge” hands, to involve a winning player to a negative EV situations (to reduce profitability of this player and to avoid withdrawing funds, which exceeds an “acceptable” - for the room managers - level, from the room).
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
And all the information, that I mentioned above, I have sent to Gambling Supervision Authorities of 10 countries, to inform the society about the fraud scheme, to share the experience of a gambling software analysis and to gather nations to prevent activities of the fraudulent organization – iPoker.
And now, finally, I would like to summarize the results of communication with the Gambling supervision authorities.
B. I suggest to start from the “total” list of the contact outcomes of different organizations, purposes to contact them, assessments of time for the response of each of them -
Thus, of ten (10) countries, six (6) – properly responded.
There was no response of any organization which exceeded a month period (the maximum delay – 27 days, RTS of Russia)
Seven (7) countries were “informed” about the fraud, and to three (3) countries – was sent the query of investigation of the case/implementing measures towards Red Star Poker, Playtech PLC organizations.
Next, I will go through the countries reactions – and this might be interesting for the extended list of nations, represented on 2+2 forum. But the key role plays conclusions themselves, which could be made basing on the communication results.
So, the analysis of countries responses to the information regarding the fraud in the gambling sphere -
The 1-st answer of 6
Country - Netherlands
Gambling supervision authority - Kansspelautoriteit (KSA)
Response time - 1 day
Purpose of communication with the organization -
Curacao is a part of The Kingdom of the Netherlands. Being a progressive, rapidly developing European country, Netherlands are the key, dominating county in the kingdom (to compare, the population of Netherlands – 18 million people. And the population of Curacao – 150 thousand people). Thus, it was reasonable to inform about the fraud of Red Star Poker the leading country of the kingdom, expecting its assistance in revocation of the “RSP Entertainment N.V.” license.
The response analysis -
For this country and for all the upcoming, I describe the most meaningful parts of the supervision authority’s message -
“Red Star Poker is not licensed by the gambling authority, you have gambled with an illegal provider. We advise you to always gamble with a provider that has a license from KSA.”
From this part of KSA’s answer follows that Red Star Poker is not even legal gambling provider-company in Netherlands. Even though, it is registered in one of parts of the Kingdom of the Netherlands – in Curacao.
What are the reasons of that domestic organization “RSP Entertainment N.V.” is not legal on a territory of the main part of its “own” country? Doesn’t The Kingdom of the Netherlands trust a company which is registered and licensed by themselves?
"In total
We thank you for your report, because it helps KSA to get a proper view on the gambling market and on possible violations, which could occur. In case some risk appearance, Gambling department may take action to prevent it. You won’t receive any further responses regarding your complaint or message. KSA doesn’t also make any claims about investigations, which are performed or (possibly) planned to start.”
This answer of KSA was provided a day after my informing message about the fraud of Red Star Poker to them was sent. What conclusion could be made –
1. Perhaps, they sent the materials to a special department (intelligence team), but they, obviously, didn’t analyze it. Although, apparently, they watched my main video.
2. Netherlands, most-likely, are aware of the situation. Not by chance Red Star Poker isn’t legal on their territory. Means, this fraud – literally is not their problem. They, probably, could try to totally block Red Star, but the case is connected to Playtech PLC, and really effectively this problem could be solved by England, with implementing sanctions towards exactly Playtech PLC (we will discuss this later, while discussing the response of Great Britain).
The 2-nd answer of 6
Country - Switzerland
Gambling supervision authority – Swiss Federal Gaming Board (ESBK)
Response time - 5 days
Purpose of communication with the organization -
Relatively recently iPoker opened online-poker room in Switzerland – “Swiss Casinos Poker”. I decided to contact Gambling supervision authority of Switzerland to warn them about the expansion of the fraudulent gambling net though legalizing in their country. And to unite efforts in the fight against this abuse.
Initially, I wrote to another Swiss organization – Gespa, but they redirected me to the Department ESBK, which monitors online-gambling market in the country. And I got absolutely reasonable and expected answer from them -
“We will check the page you mentioned and, if necessary, add it to the blocking list.”
Will they understand, that this topic isn’t only about Red Star Poker, but it’s also about that “newly made” room “Swiss Casinos Poker” – I don’t even doubt. Will they take actions? Mainly it’s a problem of Switzerland.
But their participation in blocking of iPoker would be useful for our common cause – fighting against a fraud in online-poker sphere.
I guess, professional players must be totally against a scam inside their own field of activity.
The 3-rd answer of 6
Country - Malta
Gambling supervision authority – Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)
Response time – 11 days
Purpose of communication with the organization -
In general, about the aim of contacting Malta I write in my message to them openly -
"I would like to stress that mentioned companies may try to be relicensed by your organization. My position is that RSP Entertainment breaks laws of many countries and provides an unfair provision of services - non-random commercial algorithms are integrated into the software to manipulate card dealing process in online-poker games. And I suggest you to consider all the information to reasonably refuse licensing of these companies."
I warn the authority of Malta about a try of the scammers to register Red Star Poker in their organization. And I provide them all the necessary information to refuse licensing of iPoker.
Their reaction - "Thank you for contacting us and for providing the detailed information regarding your concerns about Red Star Poker (RSP Entertainment N.V.) and Playtech PLC. We appreciate your professionalism and the thoroughness of your analysis.
We understand your concerns about potential law violations and the licensing of Red Star Poker."
is exactly that reaction, which would like to hear (not me, personally 😀) but those, who are against a fraud in the gambling sphere.
A special plus of MGA’s response is that, in case I manage to find energy and to set aside a time to discuss the situation in Pokerstars, then it will be hard to ignore my information regarding this “pretty known” room, which is registered in the country.
And this is, initially, the main (hidden) reason why I decided to contact Malta. I wanted the supervision authority, where Pokerstars is licensed, to be aware of the situation and to be ready to consider similar materials regarding this room.
And we are coming closer to discussion of Pokerstars, because I can see that a number of “sides" are simply interested in the fraud to continue.
If so, let’s just announce that online-poker, at least, in case of iPoker and Pokerstars, is just a fraudulent sphere. To set all the things on its own places.
Okay, some part of players, let’s say “online-professionals”, are playing. And, let’s say, it’s normal, that they keep playing.
But we don’t live in the world of an online-poker. We live in a real world, and we are citizens of our countries with its own laws, relations and agreements between members of the society.
And it should be clear for everyone, what every sphere is. It shouldn’t be like that a pure criminal keeps a more then real legal status, misleading millions of people all over the world by its «fake» officiality and “imaginary” following the laws of the society.
The 4-th answer of 6
Country – Great Britain
Gambling supervision authority – The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)
Response time – 19 days
Purpose of communication with the organization -
The owner and the software developer (everything, that you can see on the screen, and everything, that happens “behind it”, including that “RNG”) of Red Star Poker is Playtech PLC. Which is registered and is licensed in Great Britain.
In my message to UKGC I ask them to perform investigations and to take reasonable actions towards Playtech PLC.
And here is their first response -
"If you have concerns that the website is operating illegally where you reside, we suggest that you report this matter to the relevant bodies within your jurisdiction."
And I have already done this simultaneously with sending them the materials. In this case it’s about The Russian Taxation Service and The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russian Federation – but we will talk about this a bit later.
"I would like to reassure you due to the information you have provided I have passed your email and evidence to our intelligence team. It is their role to consider illegal activity and where necessary consider taking action."
It was impossible “to control” the further progress of the investigation regarding Playtech PLC, because I was not a citizen of Great Britain. And I have mentioned this on 2+2 forum, where I drew attention of colleagues-players, that it was also their problem, but not only mine one or “ours” –
https://twoplustwo.com/post?postId=58920...
And a native speaker reacted and, as a result of his help with checking of the registration nuances of Playtech PLC, I send a more well-thought message. The basis of it is a pretty important information for us –
"While I was checking "Playtech PLC" organization via The UKGC website, I noticed that the Company hadn't got any "Domain names".
It may look like a bad actor could rig the software developed by "Playtech".
At the same time, Playtech PLC could actually use the "independent partners" idea (according to my information Playtech PLC is the owner of RSP Entertainment N.V.) to assure the players that all their business is regulated by UKGC.
And since you regulate Playtech's activities just as a business, all the role of gaming safety control goes to the primary regulators [such as, for example, Curacao] of the partners [Red Star Poker] to regulate Playtech's software offered to the public of the world, whether the players are in the UK (!) or elsewhere."
Guys, in easy words - Playtech PLC may be controlled by the UK as a usual IT-company, as a developer of video-games (like “online-poker”😉, but, simultaneously, those “games” itself are suggested to even British people from some other “foreign” companies like “RSP Entertainment N.V.” (Red Star).
At the same time, all of us are assured, that England controls Playtech PLC and Red Star. Everything is official and serious!
But, in practice – NO ONE regulates Red Star, nor Playtech PLC as subjects of the gambling market.
On the message of this kind UKGC reacted with
"Thank you for your further email and providing further information.
I can confirm that we do not require any further information regarding this Gambling business from you. Should we require any further information we will contact you on this email address directly.
Thank you for taking the time in reporting this matter to us."
means, "we will investigate everything alone". But looks like they are not in a hurry… And this actually brings some thoughts about – isn’t it actually profitable for themselves, all this, and how it is built? And how players all over the world are losing their money been scammed? EVEN taking into account their own citizens, who are the victims of the fraud.
By the way, why doesn’t anyone regulate Red Star? There is Curacao Gaming control board!! Isn’t there? You will find it out soon, below in the text
The 5-th answer of 6
Country – Czech Republic
Gambling supervision authority – The Ministry of Finance
Response time – 21 day
Purpose of communication with the organization -
Similar to Switzerland, but a bit later, in 2024th, iPoker opened an online-poker room in the Czech Republic – “Fortuna Poker”. And I also decided to contact the Ministry of Finance of the country (exactly this body controls the gambling sphere in Czech) to warn them about the expansion of iPoker through legalizing there. And, once again, to unite efforts in the fight against the fraud in online-poker.
A representative of the Ministry reasonably thank me for the provided information. Same as the most pat of other informed countries.
Unlike a part of some players, they do understand, that my aim is to prevent law violations in the gambling sphere, where, in easy words – everything should be fair.
How did this aim manage to cause a negative reaction of players, insulting? It’s only possible in case these players are personally interested in the scam to continue.
But these are the lyrics, speaking closer to the topic –
"We forward your report to the Customs Administration of Czech republic, which has the authority to investigate these matters and impose fines. If they find out that it is an illegal gambling operator, the websites of the gambling operator Red Star Poker will be blocked.
Given that this is likely an illegal gambling operator that has not undergone the administrative process, and since the compliance of individual games with the Gambling Act is subject to control during this process, we have no reason to address the specific gambling game mentioned in your email [for further investigations regarding my personal account]. However, we will be aware of this [this scheme of a fraud] in future administrative licensing proceedings.”
And here, once again, will they understand, that this topic, in their case, rather is not about Red Star Poker, but about “Fortuna Poker”, which, obviously, doesn’t differ in any aspect, since it’s possible to participate in common games, organized by iPoker net, while playing through the skin.
What will happen to iPoker in Czech? It’s a question for Czech guys. But their gambling supervision authority got all the necessary information to make decisions.
The 6-th answer of 6
Country – Russian Federation
Gambling supervision authority – The Russian Taxation Service
Response time – 27 days
Purpose of communication with the organization -
Initially, I didn’t plan to contact bodies of Russia, because organizing of an online-gambling is forbidden in the country. But, during the discussion of the problem with Russian regular players and with those players, who got involved into the same situation, that I faced on Pokerstars and on Partypoker, both – a total “blocking” of a winning possibility on any playing limit right after withdrawing the funds from the account, while playing single table – I still decided to send the information regarding Red Star Poker to the RTS RF. Asking them to tighten “policy” towards online-casino RSP Entertainment N.V.
Their response -
The basis on the answer – since the casino itself is not regulated by RTS, they can block a number of “mirror”-sites of the room – domain names, which contain an information, that is forbidden to distribute, according to laws of Russia. And -
“Thus, regarding seeking and preventing of outlaw activities of “Red Star Poker” casino, the law enforcement authorities should be contacted, according to their duties.”
The 7-th answer of 6
Country – Curacao (The Kingdom of the Netherlands)
Gambling supervision authority – Gaming Control Board (GCB)
Response time – no answer
Purpose of communication with the organization – investigation of the fraud confirming materials and circumstances, taking actions towards the licensed in Curacao company “RSP Entertainment N.V.” (Red Star Poker)
Guys… The seventh response of six appeals is the seventh indeed, because of its absence…
An absolute absence of reaction from Gambling supervision authorities of Curacao regarding the fraud of Red Star Poker.
The company is registered and is licensed in this country. I didn’t even get a formal/polite answer. Just nothing. We need to get on a plane, personally visit the country, and sue the organization there in Curacao totally alone.
The first message was sent to CuracaoEgaming on the 20th of February 2025.
(Read the first page of the relevant topic - https://twoplustwo.com/Discussion-of-Pok...)
Four months passed – yes, not by an accident I mentioned time of the responses of other countries Gambling supervision authorities
The second message – to the Curacao Gaming Control Board (GCB) from 03.24.2025
(the repeat of the initial message with all the information attached but to another department of Curacao)
The third message to the Curacao Gaming Control Board from 04.18.2025
(information regarding openly and repeatedly occurring rigging of the flop which matches with the folded on a preflop starting player’s hand)
Two months passed…
C. Look, what is going on.
I ask the supervision authority of Curacao, as a client of the online-casino, to consider the information (it’s not important which one! Even in case this information isn’t “relevant” – they are obliged to consider it, it’s their responsibility), to perform investigation and to take actions towards the company. Even England answers me, in spite of my “soft” formulation “a high possibility of law violations by Playtech PLC". But not Curacao!
Which conclusions could be made from this, in fact, our common, dear colleagues, experience of communicating with Gambling supervision authorities of Curacao (yes, this topic concerns everyone of us) –
Red Star Poker ("RSP Entertainment N.V."), which is listed in the registry of licensed by GCB gambling companies – is not regulated by this organization. Online-casino can afford using any algorithms in the gaming process, absolutely any actions towards it’s players – totally unpunishedly.
Means, multiplied increasing of the income through equalizing of players between each other to maximize collecting of the commission for the game – this is what every poker room and every other casino dreams about, to have players playing as much as possible and to play to zero profit.
It’s not just “might be implemented” into the software. IT IS implemented (and I have already described all the gaming process, and the nuances of distributing hands between players on the table to make them even). And it would be simply strange, if actually autonomous, non-regulated company didn’t go for this!
Guys, everyone has got his own communicating experience with people and with organizations, so, I think it’s better to specially comment it -
Red Star Poker – is a company, which is managed by people, who don’t know you personally. They are not even citizens of your country. And they got a possibility to maximize their profit off other people, who they haven’t ever seen and will never meet in a real life. And they won’t be EVER punished for this, there are no consequences.
According to the “agreements” with Gambling Supervision Authority of a small country of 150 thousand population, Red Star Poker steals wins of stronger players by equalizing them with a weaker newcomers and converts all their bankrolls into the rooms profit as a commission for games. While lying about a fair and random games. And they keep doing it absolutely openly.
What does the whole situation mean, in terms of a real life in the civilized society, where there are laws and logic (standards) of communication implemented -
We calmly played, used service of Red Star.
But, some circumstances appeared, and one of players (me) contacted with the organization, which is supposed to keep Red Star Poker’s activity according to the laws. And this organization didn’t even appear contactable.
It is simply unacceptable. There is no any organization, nor private figure which would work with such a “company” with no responsibility, uncontrolled.
Just an advice, guys. In case someone tells you about fair gaming on iPoker, and about huge winnings that the online-casino "allowed" to get there (for participating in games on many tables? for a highly prioritized account? for winning possibility precedent?), you can just show them this post, to prevent unnecessary debate difficulties.
Yeah its a mistery why dont take you serious?? Oh wait.. they dont need to listen to the rants of a mental patient😃
Btw, this Johnmir is so sure of this algorithm he says its 99.999999% accuracy yet he doesnt have the balls to take a bet on it. Not even an honour bet. Somewhere deep down he knows he is making stuff up I guess.
Just for balance sake, Johnmir often bases his study on a snippet of around 900 hands but here are his tracked hands. Maybe we should take a look at this:
This guy definitely knows his poker stuff right 😃😃 although he has introduced himself as a "professional level player" and an "expert level player" numerous times. Probably based on his incredible results🙂
Its funny he says "The key idea of the message is that the software helps “new”/ “weak” players of iPoker".
Because that would certainly mean he has received a lot of goodrun.
He claims he is playing poker since 2006 but on stars in 2019 he plays a 32/13/2 strategy.. thats 13 years of experience and he plays like that 😃😃 what a genius LOLOL
And for those interested. Johnmir recently live-streamed on Youtube in an effort to prove his knowledge of the algorithm. I tuned in and he got literally everything wrong. Everything!! The same day he removed the stream from youtube. This is not only the work of a faker but also a crime on humour because watching him struggle was one of the funniest things i've seen in poker. Guess shoving 55 for 75bb isnt optimal after all 🙂 And just after he announces the villain cant have anything because of the algorithm he shows AA. 😃 It was so much fun. Please re-upload the stream John, others deserve to laugh as well.
Well. seems like they are in on it. You should dig deeper, invest way more time in all this!
Noone sane will read that wot lol. U are a total clown and it's no surprise u got ignored.
Man, Thank you for this comment! ♥
It perfectly matches with the phrase -
And we are coming closer to discussion of Pokerstars, because I can see that a number of “sides" are simply interested in the fraud to continue.
Curacao knew that I was "a clown" even before watching the materials. That is why they ignored me. Good point.
And this is exactly what I'm talking about here. Curacao covers the fraud.
Have fun playing in the rooms, licensed by the GCB! (Curacao Gaming control board)
Yeah its a mistery why dont take you serious?? Oh wait.. they dont need to listen to the rants of a mental patient😃
If they just didn’t take me “serious”, it would be totally different… But the ignored me.
But I think I got your point. When iPoker close your account with no explanations and confiscate your money. Curacao will just respond to you with “you are a mental patient” 😃 And you will be satisfied. Well... Why not, “mental patient” is a good excuse in case of stealing someone’s money. The case is closed!))
Btw, this Johnmir is so sure of this algorithm he says its 99.999999% accuracy yet he doesnt have the balls to take a bet on it. Not even an honour bet. Somewhere deep down he knows he is making stuff up I guess.
I thought middle ages has gone. Or not? Well, when I join the forum, it looks I’m far away from civilization. From which moment I became obliged to bet money on every statement? Some wild wild west rules, or what is going on here? Are you a poker player, or are you just an addicted gambler?
Let’s talk about honour -
Just for balance sake, Johnmir often bases his study on a snippet of around 900 hands but here are his tracked hands. Maybe we should take a look at this:
1. Yes, let's take a look on my results (does anyone care about me here?). I like your way of thinking, are you working for the room? An employee of iPoker?
2. Man, looks like you forgot about honor when decided (for what reason?) to lie about me multiply times. Just a single example –
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
But it’s much more important -
This guy definitely knows his poker stuff right 😃😃 although he has introduced himself as a "professional level player" and an "expert level player" numerous times. Probably based on his incredible results🙂
Look, if you are good, you just need to easily disprove my research! More then that, you can also assure other players, that while they participate in games, organized by iPoker, they can relax, since the materials about the fraud where provided “by some newcomer”. So who care about the materials.
Its funny he says "The key idea of the message is that the software helps “new”/ “weak” players of iPoker".
Because that would certainly mean he has received a lot of goodrun.
Here, I’m missing the logic of the poker player. Do you mean, that in case I’m a weak player – the software should help me to win? So everyone is winning online 😃 How is it possible? While testing the software I got exactly the result, which is perfect for the room - from -8% to 0% ROI.
And speaking in details.
Yes, if you are a weak player, the software helps you to lose slowly. So that all the bankroll slowly converts into the commission of the room but not into the winnings of a good player. And you have to know that, since you are a cash player.
Helping a weak player doesn’t mean, he starts to win, man… Think… You are a winning player, you have to understand this kind of stuff.
It means, that this player lose as slow as it is enough to avoid withdrawing extra money from the room by winning players.
Well. seems like they are in on it. You should dig deeper, invest way more time in all this!
Bob )) No no. Enough of this. I have already shared the information. Yes, it took a significant time even in my case (my speciality in insurance companies was preparing this kind of analysis and the reports regarding it's results).
And everyone here on the forum may use or refuse taking it into account according to his personal aims. I'm not pretending on anything.
I'm planning to contact iPoker's support though, if I manage to find a bit more time. And to upload the conversation here on the forum. Can be useful, and also funny 
))
John i have to give it to you.
You are a terrible poker player a worse analyst but you are a gifted comedian.
Yes they ignored u because they knew about u (the mental patient, comedy character) already.
They just saw ur name and then did not bother to read. Same as here me. Lol.
Bob )) No no. Enough of this. I have already shared the information. Yes, it took a significant time even in my case (my speciality in insurance companies was preparing this kind of analysis and the reports regarding it's results). And everyone here on the forum may use or refuse taking it into account according to his personal aims. I'm not pretending on anything.I'm planning
I don't care as much for your posting here. What I really love is the amount of time you invest before you post here. You should double or even triple that amount!
If they just didn’t take me “serious”, it would be totally different… But the ignored me.
They obviously thought your materials werent worthy of a response. I would agree. I like to comment because its fun for me, but for them its a job they take serious. So they probably read your email and quickly came to the same realization as we all did: You are a mental patient.
Not every statement, but certainly the statement that has taken control over your life namely that the RNG is rigged and you can prove it. I also proposed a honour bet so you wont have to bet money (I saw on your stream that your bankroll is $13 so I guess money's tight) where if you prove your hypothesis I'd leave the forums forever. However, if i can disprove the hypothesis you will leave the forum forever. Simple bet right? No money involved, just a test to see if you actually believe in your statement or that they are simply meaningless words thrown into the ether. So far, it seems to be the latter.
Look, if you are good, you just need to easily disprove my research! More then that, you can also assure other players, that while they participate in games, organized by iPoker, they can relax, since the materials about the fraud where provided “by some newcomer”. So who care about the materials.
You care right? Also, I have disproven your research many many times. The only one that doesnt see this is... you😀 Others players seems to be assured enough, iPoker does pretty well. I havent seen a decline since your "research" so just like everyone else even the poker players are ignoring you. And rightfully so.
So you are a weak player then. Because you lose slowly. Although I do not know if a -20bb lossrate is in fact slowly. But a -1.1% ROI certainly is losing slowly. And according to you, the reason that people lose slowly is because they are weak and the software helps them. Ergo -> You are a weak player
You are also a weak player because 14 years in your poker "career" you played 32/13/2 style. You clearly have no clue about poker. Just like your results prove. On iPoker and on Stars.
And Ive said before to which you said: Yea Stars rigged the same way.
So how is Curacao somehow responsible for allowing all the rigging???
Because stars has its license from Malta. Are they in on it too?
You are mainly concerned with Curacao because the skin Redstar has its license there, but you always complain about iPoker in general and not just Redstar.
iPoker (which is playtech) has its license in the UK.
So are the UK in on it too???? Please use your imagination to unraffle this conspiracy 🙂
To be honest Slugant the Curacao guys probbaly didnt even read the email.
All else aside the curacao license although they have cleaned up significantly in the last few years isnt worth much.
They have ignored plenty of real grievances for years.
So although they are in my opinion right to do it this time around they would even ignore it if John had the smoking gun he thinks he has.
Thats why Malta & UK must be pulling the strings.. Isle of Man has to be in on it too. This goes all the way to the top!!!
That all these countries are working together to conceal the conspiracy against a microstakes grinder is way more likely than that John just isnt very good at poker.
Why have to sent in our top spy to for this mission... His name is Bond... Johnmir Bond
John i have to give it to you.
You are a terrible poker player a worse analyst but you are a gifted comedian.
DJ, look.
You say i'm a terrible poker player. Okay.
I'm a terrible analyst. Good.
Look, ok, I don't say about analysis that you can't fully understand, cause you need to know some statistical stuff for this. But when I show you this -
I expect you to know at least basic stuff about poker rules. Chances, etc.
After I analyzed everything and reported to Gambling supervisors, and we got this -
I played 111 hands of this type. You can ask Slugant, he is everywhere, he follows me and he knows that NO, I haven't played more.
Do you really understand, that getting this stuff on a distance of 111 hands is about 0.00018%? 2 times in 1 million tries?
I mean, look.
I can type here in the chat - "iPoker deals random cards". Or, look, you see? I can type - "iPoker is a fair room".
But if you can't understand EVEN THIS about poker, nor about analysis - you haven't got A CLUE about the game, nor about statistics.
Because for most people, who play poker and understand numbers on the screen, hitting 31 of 47 flops RIGHT AFTER IT WAS UNNOUNCED - is simply impossible.
But not for you.
Guys, okay, look. Yeah, you are cool. I'm a "clown", "idiot", "delusional". But who are you then and how the **** did you manage to evaluate my poker skill/statistical skills?
You can't get primitive stuff.
And I provided (!) all the necessary stuff to check this information -
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
Guys, you got that far, so you just ignore obvious stuff, type some incogerent phrases irrespectively what other people say regarding the situation. I mean, you will keep doing this even if they officially announce iPoker to be rigged. I don't even doubt. But this time you talk to someone who points it out openly. No way to type this kind of bullshit that you type and still remain "clean", you keep silence, or you got "discredited" automatically. Since only totally incompetent players/silly people can react on this kind of information the way you react.
I will give you that i havent checked or will check your excel sheets in depth.
I neither trust your analysis nor do i trust you to be honest in picking your hands.
if you weren't some mad man yelling at clouds and instead would have presented yourself a bit more humble i would have helped you point you towards people who would check your work.
I am sure other would have too.
Instead you come here in some grandiose manner. Misrepresent yourself as a poker expert. Misrepresent what happened in the russian poker forum they laughed you out off and post some cryptic excel sheets.
Nobody is going to take you serious like this.
Your analysis as you have admitted yourself is cherry picked and i dont trust any of your numbers or your ability to analyse them in any way.
your theory also doesnt make sense and your description of the mechanism is fluidly changing to what ever suits your needs.
You remind me a lot of this flat earther i know.
Always the dumbest man in the room while convinced to be the smartest.
Do as you may but if you just admit to yourself that you absolutely suck at poker instead of making up intricate theories and spreadsheets to proof that you are great and the game is cheating you you would feel better.
It is remarkable that in your excel sheets all your tournaments last about 12 hands
How do you get knocked out so soon every time?
Oh wait... I saw the stream... you openshove 55 for 75bb out of ****ing nowhere because of the algorithm :p
But who are you then and how the **** did you manage to evaluate my poker skill/statistical skills?
Well, most of us are actual professional poker player. The very kind you claim to be but aren't.
We evaluate your poker skills based on what we see. Your results, or better put, your lack of results. At the microstakes where even you need to have an IQ of 50 to make money, you lose and keep on losing. And dont say its because of the RNG because others face the exact same RNG but do win.
We see hands you play and you butcher them. You have no eye for the bigger picture. You focus on roughly 900 hands even though you played 500k+. And you've played terrible poker yet refuses to recognize that the fault of you losing might be you.
After 16 years of playing poker you played a style of 32/13/2. This shows an incredible lack of talent and poker insight. Usually a fish has better stats after 16 weeks of play, you still play this bad 16 years into your "career"
After 20 years you are playing $0.20 sng's with a negative ROI and $13 left in your bankroll.
This all and many of your wrong and false statement is how we can evaluate your poker skills John.
And I guess on some level you know you dont have the skills (and the bankroll) because you dodge literally every challenge. On your poker skills and on your knowledge of the algorithm.
Which I get btw, because I saw your stream. You got everything wrong. Which is why you deleted it, you destroyed evidence of you being wrong, just like a very guilty man would do.
You also seem to think its important to be seen as a good poker player. Thats why you started threads on every forum and videos on youtube with the phrase "I am a professional level player". I even saw you write that you were an "elite poker player". That these are the statements from a microstakes loser do make it hilarious but it does show that you think its hold value to be a professional level player.
But then you get told you're wrong by many professional players and you dismiss instantly. If an other 10nl loser with a grudge shows up and also thinks the rng is rigged you see him as very trustworthy immediately. You actually have more trust in microstakes losers than professional poker player.
So maybe next time you start a thread or need to introduce yourself start with "Hello. I am Johnmir and I am a microstakes loser. After 20 years of poker im stuck at the lowest sng's with a bankroll of $13. If people who actually accomplish something in poker disagree with my rantings I call them stupid liars and shills"
That would establish you as a person and poker player far more correctly than you have done so far.
Look, this is totally reasonable reaction of you.
You can see here the date of the message about the dependency. That the software of iPoker (due to my frequent folding of premium hands on a preflop) tries "to provoke" me to participate in a postflop gaming -
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
Look at the date of this message. It's the 9th of May. Right?
Now you can import all these hands, from my message regarding this "anomaly" (in the start of the message) -
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
And you will see that this tournaments where played starting from the 3rd of June.
On Sharkscope.com, you can check how many tournaments I played starting from the 9th of May to the 8th of June. I played 10 tournaments. (I haven't got a premium account there, but you can check this, I guess. Slugant can.)
All of them are Sit&Go 9 max turbo tournaments.
At the same time, you can check, that this "anomaly" happens once in 60 million hands (flops) approximately, in average, in a random game.
I take into account ALL the hands, where I folded my non-paired hand on a preflop and the flop was dealt to other players. And check if my starting hand matches with it (32.4% chances for this).
All this is checkable.
Now, DJ, look. If you didn't check this, you can't say -
Why.
You don't know if my calculations are wrong. You didn't check that.
If it's right, then the game on iPoker is not random, and it's rigged.
If it is rigged, man, then no-one hasn't proved this yet. And no-one stopped this fooling of people all over the world yet (if some people "managed" to win there, it doesn't mean that hundreds of thousands of other people weren't fooled). Then I'm not that bad analyst.
So, you need to "stay" somewhere -
1. I checked your data, and you miscalculated here - ... So (!), you are a bad analyst.
OR
2. I don't trust your data, since I have to trust it, because I haven't got enough time/will to check if it's true.
You can't say both statements at once.
But you claim -
1. Your accusations are made up
2. You are a terrible player
3. You are a terrible analyst
4. I don't trust your data
5. I haven't checked your data
You disagree with Everything, but you haven't checked anything.
And this is a position of all of guys, who win money on iPoker, man. And I'm not any surprised to hear it.
if you weren't some mad man yelling at clouds and instead would have presented yourself a bit more humble i would have helped you point you towards people who would check your work.
Look, I would thank you for this. But I'm not interested in this too much.
What surprises me. If I was on your place, and I'm not kidding, because I have already spent a huge time to help people to understand what is going on in the sphere I don't even participate in -
I would 100% show this to other people, in case I know them, because it is a question of integrity in your own sphere and a question of fooling many people who you know. Especially if you have got an opportunity to know such people, who can "test" my calculations.
And it's not any important who I am, more then that
Instead you come here in some grandiose manner. Misrepresent yourself as a poker expert.
I have no idea why did you decided to discuss my single phrase in the main post in stead of discussing my materials. And it's a special question. And many people have already mentioned this -
Johnmir isnt the great poker player he thinks he is but he does see online is rigged and showed some good evidence through statistics others dont usually pay attention too...
But man, of course, if you start to ask my opinion about my OWN gameplay - I answer you my opinion. I never claimed you play bad. But you should see the difference between two phrases
- "I'm a good player"
- "You are a bad player"
This is what you do, you claim that i'm a bad player. At the same time, I don't claim you are bad. I say - "In my opinion, i'm good". And only people who try to avoid the topic of rigging the game will seriously start to argue about my own opinion about myself. In fact, it's just childrish. Or is done by purpose to avoid the main topic.
DJ, never tried to misinterpret it. I only remember I said there is a huge discussion. You say something that is not true here.
And it's obvious, there was a big discussion, since I had to correct my calculations in several parts. I never said they supported me. This is what Slugant and other guy "JustJoke" simply brought up into the 2+2 forum. You simply repeat their words.
Once again, here, I couldn't have admitted this, because -
1. This is statistically "senseless" phrase.
2. It's simply untrue, because I consider all the distance played according to conditions of predetermined experiments. I don't need to "pick" anything. More then that, I assess a chance to meet anomalies on a hole distance played (according to the conditions of the experiment!).
Have I ever said I'm smart? It's not my position. My position is that I professionally prepared the research. It's just my job, and I was good at it. Financial analysis is not a poker "gaming". Yes, here in online-poker you can "play as good as I can play" and call yourself a pro player if you managed to win. But in other spheres of life there are "standards" of a professionalism. Professional analyst is not the one who just "analyze data the way he can do it"... Not everyone will ever get a job of analyst in the Project management office of a huge european company. If you doubt, you can try to send the resume there, just to check their answer.
Do as you may but if you just admit to yourself that you absolutely suck at poker instead of making up intricate theories and spreadsheets to proof that you are great and the game is cheating you you would feel better.
Look, this statement is discribing some "teenager's" position. I'm not a tinager. I'm a real life person, who is/was active in several spheres. And online-poker is not even the 3rd ranked in the list. I do not care, if I win/lose in online-poker. I just try to help people with my analytical skills. That's all. I'm not personally interested in ANY aspect of this discussion.
If you are not personally interested in anything else, then in integrity inside your own sphere. And in case you do understand that not all the poker rooms follow "fair play". You can consider my information and make sure if my research is right. It would do many people while being on your place, who are really interested in protecting people from the potential fraud. More then that, my materials are really checkable. After all the explanations it can be easy to understand. I did my best to explain all the information and the tests of iPoker's software.
You are definitely not a teenager John, you are a bitter old man.
And you aren't and weren't ever a financial risk analyst.
And you aren't and weren't ever a professional level poker player.
And you aren't and weren't ever a professional level tennis coach.
And you aren't and weren't ever taken seriously by the gypsy forum.
And you aren't and weren't ever anything other than a fish at poker and analytics.
Everything you post on this forum is a lie. And not even good ones.
Like the software "provokes" you to participate postflop. Why just not do it? Why do you let yourself being provoked by the software, even though you know the algorithm? its just nonsense.
I saw your livestream (which you deleted afterwards like a person caught in a web of lies) and you openshoved 55 with 75bb into AA (which you said would have had nothing because of the algorithm you know so well🙂). How did the software "provoke" you into making this absolutely terrible play? Because Ive seen a lot of winning players and they never openshove 55 with 75bb, surely they must get the same provocation?? The irony is that you say you describe the algorithm clear and its easy to understand but you never give a formula or absolute truth. The software "provokes" doesnt mean anything, its holds the same evidence as "you win some you lose some". And stop saying people didnt checked your data or didnt prove your wrong. You've been proven wrong countless times you just ignore it. And since people here are smarter than you they dont just check the 900 hand sample, they look at the 500k+ hand sample, because its far more telling. And it proves without the shadow of a doubt: Johnmir is a microstakes fish. Which the stream also proved but you quickly deleted it like a coward. Re-upload it for all to watch. Why do you remove evidence? Seems like you are part of a conspiracy. A conspiracy of bitter microstakes losers with absolutely no life and a grudge against online poker because it was their umpteenth failure. Which makes total sense Johnny, because you are a failure. That you once had a winning month at micro/small sng's doesnt change that. You've had way way way more losing months, even at the lowest stakes where a braindead monkey could manage to win, you lose.
Johnny, just look at your results one more time, how can you even claim that you think you are good at poker? You even once said you dont know who is better, you or Linus.
Thats like me saying im actually the same level as Federer. That he has won 20+ major tournaments and I cant beat the local kid is just results-oriented analysis. You shouldnt look at results, you should look at gut feeling mixed with a heavily deteriorated mind
John, I believe you are very serious and passionate about this (otherwise eventhough you appear to have no life you wouldn't put all this work into this).
But it's not worth the energy, nothing will happen to Redstar (or IPoker as a whole) just because of your "findings".
I agree sometimes IPoker feels like an absolute excuse of a RNG in certain situations (for example you mentioned something about "sitting Out Player being favored" or something, I have that feeling too on bubbles etc., without having gone through the Numbers though).
However what also is factional that I, and many other Regs who win on other sites, also win on IPoker. Because you are so much into data, you could look at sharkscope datas. Make a big group of MTT Regs on IPoker who have a good samplesize and are Winning & you would see that they absolutely smash IPoker, also comparing to other sites. Average ROIs will be higher than on some other sites. Nothing like "keeping the field close to protect fish".
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but neither do I understand what you hope will happen nor why you resist so much about spending your time with something of actual value...
If sitting out players are being favored what are you waiting for??? Sit out on all tables and start printing that sweet sweet cash
an RNG feels tough when variance puts you in a badrun, during goodrun nobody complains that the RNG is favoring them too much.
Otherwise, solid last point about comparing player results on different sites, but one slight problem:
When Johnmir started here he said iPoker was rigged and thats why his results there are so terrible. But then his Stars results were shown and they were terrible as well. So then John easily said "yea, Stars is rigged exactly the same way"
And now we are at the point that every site that Johnmir loses is rigged. Ergo, literally every site is rigged.
So according to Johnmir, why do people lose at every site... the RNG
And why do others (my self included) win at every site... also the RNG
You are expecting logical thinking from a huge poker fish and its not going to happen, just like actual research. He already found his 900 hand sample and he will happily input them all into excel disregarding the other 500k+ like they never happened.
John, I believe you are very serious and passionate about this (otherwise eventhough you appear to have no life you wouldn't put all this work into this). But it's not worth the energy, nothing will happen to Redstar (or IPoker as a whole) just because of your "findings". I agree sometimes IPoker feels like an absolute excuse of a RNG in certain situations (for example you ment
Man, thank you.
First of all, and it's important. It's really positive that some of guys manage to win there. And in case you do manage, it's a good idea to keep on playing.
Regarding what I hope. And how I see this, why I did this job.
I totally agree with you, that after Curacao simply ignored my messages (unlike other 6 different supervisors) - nothing will ever happen to iPoker.
Look, yes, I hadn't got any life. And that was awful. I got closed in the flat for several years, and even after I found all this, how they rig the game and what is really going on Pokerstars (then on iPoker) I didn't even plan to share this. But I decided it was a bad idea to "hide" this information from public.
In my opinion. Rules of gaming should be announced to everyone. At the moment there is a pretty big part of players are not getting the results, because iPoker (also Pokerstars) totally control profitability of players, they classify them. Everyone wins according to an "assessment" of the rooms internal system of gaming level of the player.
I explained how exactly they do this. They generate hands to keep exactly that ROI level, which the software puts to a concrete player, according to -
and according to their "gaming level" assessment. This games are not any random. And people should know this. That it's not the gaming level, which influence on your results. It's an assessment of the room, of your gaming level.
And my results on MICROS (man, on micros!!) on iPoker totally prove that. Since you can't play normal poker there.
What I mean by normal poker.
If you are a good and an experienced player, you know, that a pro player wins at least 40% pots where he didn't hit the board. And now look how it works on iPoker.
I don't hit the board -
Then I fold premium hand right after this pot -
Watch my stack.
I'm a chip leader folding AJo on a bounty MTT? Looks like this is predictable, right?
iPoker - is not a poker game in general. You can't play high level poker normally and win there IN CASE you don't "apply to internal rules of the room".
You can watch that while I'm playing for Gipsy Team forum, I fold every premium hand, and still get 19-th of 288 players. When you bluff, when you play high leveled game, you can't play any premium hand and not being punished for bluffing.
You can watch this "awesome" MTT tracking. It's an excibition of what is really going on in iPoker -
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showp...
Open Pokerstars, and try to watch how "online-pros" play heads-ups there. They do not even bet. They open several heads-up tables according to the limit which is acceptable to their current bankrol and check-calling hands. Try to play them. They are "unbeatable". Check-calling on heads-ups? Lol. Cool.
I want these rules to be announced, so that everyone could stop wasting his lifetime and could decide if he should participate in this, or he shouldn't. May be play offline, may be refuse playing poker at all.
I personally DON'T care if I win online, because I do know what is going on. I just stopped playing. And spent my hard lifetime analyzing the game on micros.
But, at the moment, rooms simply mislead players to steal 90% of the money which strong pros would win in a fair game.
I published this on the forums according to this aim only. So that everyone would know -
1. They classify players and let them win an ammount of money (ROI/winrate) that software simply put to each player
2. The game is totally controlled by the software
3. A real, actual gaming level is not fully / or is not influencing at all on the gaming result.
And this applies to at least 3 rooms. Partypoker, Pokerstars, iPoker (net). Guess what is going on in another rooms?
Me personally. I won on Absolute poker in 2007. But in my opinion - it was rigged.
I won on FullTilt in 2010 - but in my opinion it was rigged.
I won on PartyPoker in 2019 - but in my opinion it was rigged.
My opinion is not based on my results. It is based on a statistical analysis and my observations of the gaming process.
For iPoker it is just proved.
In case NO ONE is interested in this info, then I agree with you - my job is not any useful. You are right here, man. I do not pretend to be "right" or to "prove" people something, I just share the significant, in my opinion, information. Even though, I'm wasting my time, yes. It's not actually good.
Why I was so "active". Because I can see the situation - there are too many interested sides to cover this fooling as long, as it is possible.
By the way, additionally to your comment -
I have that feeling too on bubbles etc., without having gone through the Numbers though
Look, I almost don't play nowadays. And the first time I get involved in the situation, where 2 of 4 players are "sitting out" -
Devid and SideChic - are sitting out with small stacks. 3 places paid. I'm the first with a huge stack. Tommi boi - is the 2nd.
Do you know why I push my hand? It looks totally irrational.
Because I don't "think", I simply know, that in case he got a better spade card, he will get his flush. So I just try to take the pot. But he has already got a better flush.
And this hand is not some "unlucky" stuff from 1 million hands. It's a concrete hand in a specific moment of the game.
It's not a talk about statistics, but still a beautiful illustration of what is going on.
And you aren't and weren't ever a financial risk analyst.
And you aren't and weren't ever a professional level tennis coach.
Slugant, sorry, i'm very short in time nowadays, but you just keep repeating stuff like this.
Even in spite of, for example, I have already shown you documents which simply discribe that I'm a former "business-analyst of the Project Management Office" of a huge insurance company (yes, the company, that insure financial/health/etc risks).
So, let me only answer to what I consider important.
It is remarkable that in your excel sheets all your tournaments last about 12 hands
How do you get knocked out so soon every time?
Man, it's good that you managed to open them. But, once again, these are only hands that
- I folded on a preflop
- I have got a non-paired hand
- My opponents got the flop dealt
Later, I will read your posts more attentively to check if there are more important comments except discussing of my gaming/personal abilities/lies about me/misinterpreting my statements which were said by me in other topics.
Lol ,that is pretty similar to my theory many many years ago about rigged Cereus (Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet)…
I was sure that the RNG was rigged in order to make every player break-even in the long run,and probably I was even right (Anyone here playing poker for a long time should know what happened to Cereus)
But I was younger and inexperienced…so probably nowadays I would see things differently.
I don’t play on ipoker,however I have a friend (experienced player,not a moron or a beginner), who he is sure that ipoker benefits weak players…
if iPoker benefits weak players Johnmir would be a millionaire
Also, wow another 2 screenshots of hands to add to the evidence pile. These 2 hands sure seal it 🙂
Look, yes, I hadn't got any life. And that was awful. I got closed in the flat for several years
Sounds like this was the period where you've gotten mentally ill. Several years closed in a flat will do some nasty stuff to your brain.
In my opinion. Rules of gaming should be announced to everyone. At the moment there is a pretty big part of players are not getting the results, because iPoker (also Pokerstars) totally control profitability of players, they classify them. Everyone wins according to an "assessment" of the rooms internal system of gaming level of the player.
I explained how exactly they do this.
Players will always feel they are not getting the results they deserve.
You say you've explained how ipoker & stars control the profitability. Man those sites must really dislike you then looking at your results🙂
But why do they like Linus and other top class players? They are only winning because the software allows them you say, how come they are the chosen ones?? Explain this.
Because you never proven how they do this. You just have a theory you speak out as absolute truth but its not. Never ever have you had a hypothesis we could check. At one point you came up with one, but when I wanted to test it you backed out.
You say with certainty that pokersites classifies players... Show us.
Just words are not enough John, anyone can make the same **** up you do. Nobody has ever shown it though.
You say cant play normal at the micros.. you realize that many players actually play reasonable poker there and are absolutely cleaning up. Mostly against fish like yourself.
I have already shown you documents which simply discribe that I'm a former "business-analyst of the Project Management Office" of a huge insurance company (yes, the company, that insure financial/health/etc risks).
You havent shown these documents ever and you know this. John, just because you type something happened doesnt mean it did happen. Your whole persona here, on other forums and on youtube is a fabricated lie from the first second where you introduced yourself as a "professional level player"
Man, it's good that you managed to open them. But, once again, these are only hands that
- I folded on a preflop
- I have got a non-paired hand
- My opponents got the flop dealt
You might want to take a look at your own work then because a lot of them are paired:
sloppy work from an expert level analyst🙂
So its not just non-paired hands, so once again, how come you get knocked out every tournament in about 12 hands?
Is it because, like you did in the livestream which you so quickly deleted afterwards as if you were caught in a lie, openshove 55 with 75bb because the algorithm tells you your opponent cant have anything... and they show AA
