Probability Plc, which is mobile gambling specialist, recently came out with a study on the opinion of people on Internet poker websites and the results were quite surprising. The study is titled, The Great British Poker Survey, and it found that 50% of poker players state that they did not trust Internet poker websites. There were 2,500 people that took part in the survey.
The survey asked players the question, “How much do you trust online poker sites?” A press release read, “Just 12.55 percent of respondents were prepared to respond with ‘I trust them, they provide a good service.’ That compared with 36.95 percent who said they ‘mostly trusted them’ with one or two doubts. However 19.45 percent said they mistrusted poker sites, having ‘a lot of doubts’ while 31.05 percent said they did not trust them ‘at all.”
When asked about why they did not trust Internet poker websites, 33.24% stated that they did not believe the cards were random, 32.38% stated that they had worries about personal information and account security, 21.3% stated that had concerns about regulation, and 13% stated they worried about “software bots.”
Also, 51% stated that customer service at these sites was not better than average and that 75% of Internet poker sites used “house players”, even though the sites deny that this takes place.
However, 36.7% of those surveyed still chose the Net as their destination of choice to play at. 57.75% chose house poker games and a minority of only 5.55% stated that they played at casinos or poker clubs.
