“Rigged” means something has been unfairly arranged in advance, so the result is controlled or dishonest. People use it when they think a game, contest, election, or situation was fixed to help one side win.
In everyday English, people say “It’s rigged” when they believe the rules were not fair or the outcome was decided before it even started. For example, someone might say a game was rigged if the referee was biased, or a vote was rigged if the results were manipulated.
