Of course, sandboxing the poker room makes a huge diference, the same thing using a VPN that changes your IP and encrypt your connection. Ive been fighting against Party Poker crooks (Ruth Parasol etc), 10 years of my life now. Their games are Rigged.
What means this is no matter how good you are at poker, if they decide to play you unfairly. You have not a chance. Is like playing poker with someone who can see your cards.
Their system works like a lottery, who gives winning hands to the hot IP addresses. If the system checks your IP address and other factors, like if you are depositing money to their poker room, and decide to give you winnings. No matter how bad you play, you will win session after session. But they let you win a little bit or some for some time, so you get hooked up, then they stop give you winnings, so you go and make another deposit of $20, that is the minimum. And so on. On the other hand if system checks your IP, checks if you are not making deposits to the poker room and other factors and decide to fuc* you up, and say, hey this guy is not making any deposits for ten years straight now. Its not bringing any money to our poker room, ok then, lets rigged the deck for him. And they provide you with a rigged game.
So what happends is that when you sand box the poker room in a low privileges enviroment, for example with comodo CIS, (untrusted level), the random number generator, or the poker room, starts to give you, winning hands. But does not end there. Thats where hacking time beggings. They start to use inject code, global hooks, rootkits, etc etc etc. At they always get away with it, sometimes takes minutes, sometime hours, rarely days or weeks, to crack the thing. Depends on how tight your security is, and like they say on the chat to his hacking criminal thiefs friends, YOU DO THE CRACKING, I take care of the rest. For example EmsisoftAntiMalware, has my poker room clasified as malware, if I scan my computer with windows, and party poker its installed, Emsisoft gives you the warning and make a complete removal of the poker room. The hole thing is completely full of malware. So they can cheat their customers. Who blindly trust them.
Same applies if you use VPN when you connect to the poker room. No matter how bad you play you are probably are going to win pot after pot, session after session.
But like I said, hacking time beggings. When you use a vpn, they have no other choice to disconnect you. And the disconnection I think it happends from their side. So they dont need to hack your machine in order to disconnect you.
Is like if your ISP want you to disconnect your internet connection, there is nothing you can do. You can make your OS a bullet proof against hackers, that if your ISP decide to disconect you, is the end of story.
I test this for over 10 years now on windows. And now I decide to make the same thing but in linux, and see what happends. Is my little experiment.
I am pretty shure that some one with high knowledge of linux security stuff, will bring to these crooks, extremely hard times and nightmares.
But I am no pro on linux security. Just learning
