What do people think about betting for real on these things?
I know they say they are regulated, but do you think it really is as legit as they make out to be.

Im a bit of a gambler and instead of having to go to Casinos all the time was thinking about playing for real money online. Ive heard stories about the bookies having computerised players on there making out to be real players etc and games in the online casino being fixed.

The main issue with online poker is that the tactics are different because you can't see the other player and it's hard to judge if they are bluffing.

Most reputable online casino's / gambling websites are audited often and would loose their licence and probably be fined heavily if they were doing things like computerised players or fixing games.

Even fixed odd's betting games that use random number generators are audited to ensure fairness however a margin is generally used to dictate howmuch profit they get. Typically 3 - 5%.
