It may come as a surprise to many, but the internet is actually a very safe place to play poker.
Some rules of thumb need to be applied to be sure you are playing in relative safety and although they are pretty obvious, I shall do my best to list them here.
There are also known places that should be avoided, again, I shall list them here, and also provide pages detailing why I believe those places are scams.
Please note that I can rise above bad beats and the suchlike, and the places I list as rigged have been researched very carefully before making my claims.
