At the risk of sounding haughty, it is inconceivable to me how anyone can be comfortable playing anything online for money. I played online chess for many years, and was amazed at the inventive ways people found to cheat there - and this was only for rating points. I play BG online at FIBS, and have gathered reasonable evidence that people cheat there, particularly when playing against bots - again, only for rating points. Make this for $$$ instead of rating points, and imagine the extraordinary and creative ways some people will find to cheat.

In the end, how can you possibly ever KNOW that you are getting a fair game online? You can't.
