The only gambling occurring is the gambling that this is a trust-worthy implementation of multi-player poker.

Fair enough, but you stand to make a lot more from being trustworthy than not... I think this is an excellent idea.

> you stand to make a lot more from being trustworthy than not...

What? How do you justify that conclusion? That seems at odds with most of the history of gambling.

You make the most money if you appear trustworthy but aren't.

[andy_ppp]

No. Casinos are trustworthy, or at least you know the house always wins :-)

How have other sites established credibility?

[merlincorey]

Usually by having their RNG audited and/or open-sourced/testible (though that has its own potential problems) followed by marketing and support and time in existence.

The newer a poker site is, the more likely it is to be shady, simply because it hasn't had anecdotal reports of it not being shady from actual players.
