The only test of trust was to do the "bonus whore" routine, and see if they actually paid. No guarantee of the future, but at least an indicator.
And there were comps...cashback, generous freeplay bonuses, and numerous gifts and gift cards, etc. With full pay tables on many games, I found online play to be more profitable...it funded my land-based play for a few years.

But our conversation started with BoDog, and they use Real Time Gaming software. You ain't going to get cheated with that. And the software is slick, smooth, with good game selection. It is also capable of setting it to full pay 100% schedules, I've seen it. And a lot of them have Pickem.
