The quick answer is yes but there are some risks involved. Generally the famous and older poker sites are more safe and reliable than a new poker room. If you know what the risks are there should not be a problem playing online poker.
The majority of the big online poker rooms have advanced generators and special certification to ensure fair play. This information should be provided at the Website of the poker site. Be sure that the poker room you decide to play at have a strict security and integration policy to ensure safe and fair play. Risks
Collision - When two or more players reveal information to each other and gain an advantage.
Personal Details Stolen - There is always a risk with leaving out your financial details like, credit card number, Neteller ID or bank details.
Poor Game Security - Poor integrity and technology of the poker site software could for ex: allow someone to crack the random shuffle algorithm, making the cracker know what the next dealt card would be. (More common in older days, not today)
Addiction - There is a risk for addiction when playing online poker. Some people do get addicted to the game and if you are addicted to gambling you should stay away from poker.
These are the most common risks with playing poker. To eliminate most of the risks you should pick a reliable and trustworthy poker site to play online poker at.
