Anyone know how easy it is to use or substitute gaffed
software for fair software?

My response can only be anecdotal, too. And I've just started playing
a little online after playing about four in the late 1990s/early
2000's. I've seen no evidence that any of the bigger online casinos
using the established software vendors'programs have had crooked games.
I once belonged to a small, online group that swapped information
about these sites, usually about pay schedules, promotions, and
bonuses. No one ever felt the games were dishonest. The issues have
always been slow payouts and in some cases, casinos folding.
The casino I played at most often, Atlantic Interbet, did indeed fold,
and left some players high and dry. Others were paid off even after
the casino knew it was in trouble.
I've been playing at Intercasino and William Hill a bit lately, both
using Cryptologic software. So far, so good, other than no full-pay.
What I don't have experience with of late is what the different
casinos consider "promo abuse." It feels like it would be fairly easy
to get slightly profitable advantages if you had the time to scope out
the situation.
