Online Poker in the UK is extremely heavily regulated, more so than in any other Nation.
Sky Poker have never at any point in time been regulated by KGC (Kahnawake Gaming Commission), they are regulated by the UK Gambling Commission.
Still owe you dinner from the U.K open in 2006 Tikay(another online£2.5k package win) but then you were out that much sooner so you had time to book the table and you did win the side event the night before!
One thing I have never had the answer to though, is the RNG still mixing the cards after the hole cards are dealt.
edit: not that it makes any difference

I remember winning the £750 Sidey for £24,000, though in fact we did some business as I recall. There's a weird story about that Tourney, but I won't regale everyone unless someone is really bored & asks.
I'm now trying to work out who you are - I'm assuming you went deep in the Main? I know, or knew, all 9 Finalists in the £1,500, are you one of those?
Put me out of my misery, it's driving me nuts.

No I finished 11th, first live tourney so that's my excuse. Plus I got Malloo'd once or twice
Won a package on another site, a guy called Joe Legge did the hospitality your more likely to remember him. You were involved with promoting the site at that time.
Had fun getting down with some terrorist threat at Glasgow airport stopping the planes
Think your weird story might have had something with you being short at the end of day one and being in the BB and prepared to call no matter what but every folded round to you and then you went on to win it.

Fascinating stuff, I'll reply further later this evening or tomorrow.
But yes, Ali Mallu is still playing all that crazy stuff.
ALL POKER SITES ARE RIGGED
ALL POKER SITES ARE RIGGED
ALL POKER SITES ARE RIGGED. …
Let me explain why every single poker site out there is rigged. Imagine you hold a poker night in your home every week for you and 19 mates making 20 players call it a small tournament or sit and go, now of those 20 players 4 of them are very good players and 16 are recreational players or donks / fish !! I can guarantee that 9 weeks out of every 10 one of the 4 good players will win the tournament / sit and go because they are better players because they have applied skill and understanding of the game this is fact. So as the weeks and months go by what happens ? The 16 bad players slowly drop out one by one because they see the same 4 players winning every week, they drop out because they are wasting there time and money that’s fact as it’s human nature !! The poker sites apply the same theory they are not stupid. Let’s say hypothetically a poker site has 1 million customers and 10% of the players are of a high standard and 90% are donks / fish that equates to 900,000 bad players ! They are the overwhelming majority of the sites customer base, the poker site does not want these players to get bored to not win to stop depositing to stop playing so how does the poker site combat this potential problem ?? Simple they handicap each and every player based on how much they deposit the frequency of which they deposit if they are a winning player or losing player how much they win or lose how frequently they win or lose etc to put it in Lehman’s term if you are a good player your going to receive a mathematically impossible amount of bad beats to accommodate the bad players who receive a mathematically impossible amount of good beats to level the playing field thus keeping the majority (90%) of the customer base happy keeping them happy means they keep depositing which means the poker site drives more traffic and makes more rake. These poker sites don’t reward good players because they are the minority (10%) so when your sitting there as a good player wondering how you have lost your 24th flip on the bounce or you’ve just been runner runner’d or 3 outer’d for the 15th time in a day or rivered yet again just remember what I’ve said. You as a good player are designed to lose to keep the bad players (majority) happy because that’s more profitable for these low life sites
