Almost all casinos on the rogue list here and other forums are there because of not paying out. Seems to me if RTG was rigged, pay outs would not be problematic since the allegations is control of game outcome to the casino's advantage.
Software companies have a vested interest in controlling the quality of their brand. They do not get paid a percentage of profits, so it is NOT in their interest to allow on site manipulation by dodgy operators. RTG traditionally has held to this line when approached directly about certain operators: we make the software, we cannot control who does and does not pay out.
I have decided to start looking at Rogue listings and compile some of the reasons why a casino or group gets rogued. It is certainly not always about non payment, that is just the most vocalized problem.
Also, keep in mind most and many casinos that are now rogued were very likely promoted, heralded and welcomed on the scene just as I see the same being done on this site when a new casino pops up and the buzz is all about the free chips and ooh have you tried it and yadda yadda yadda, thus the stampede goes on again.
Here is a small sampling from one site of why casinos and groups have been rogued. Between each reason is the casinos, which I didn't bother to copy as only the reasons are pertinent.
