Please explain in what ways you or others think the site is rigged. And, what you think the site has to gain by cheating players.
I agree with others that it generates rake. However, I think it also is set to reward stupid play. If you have a site where a few sharks eat all the fish. The fish would not come back. I think it sets up players to lose and win at a fairly consistent level. That way it keeps both the sharks and fish paying to play. Nobody ever cashes out.
