Do you believe that poker rooms use monitors in tournaments on their platforms?

Do you believe that poker room employees can watch or monitor online tournament play to see if everything is going well, or do they not have access to this?

Salas como 888poquer, GG, PS e outras podem monitorar as atividades dos jogadores em torneios de jogos online ao vivo?

Pretty sure years ago pokerstars had staff that watched at least the final table of the Sunday Million. I would assume at least all finals tables of bigger high stakes events get watched by staff. Can't see how they could afford to pay enough employees to cover every final table of every MTT daily. That just seems like it'd be unaffordable to me.

Pokerstars also use to have mods in live chat at the table. You could report players for swearing, not using English etc etc... and a mod/admins would come handle it. Covering all stakes.....even play money tables. <-----I now feel pretty old.

I'm sure they can step in on any MTT if they need too.

Cheers!!!

I think they have access to absolutely everything, to all the data related to their platform or website. The fact that they have access and can view every hand is obvious. To think that they don't see something is ridiculous :)

They see the table the same as you see the table. (they don't see the holecards)

And as Hardon mentioned, they used to pop in to the chat every so often (on Fulltilt too) and they'd also manually prepare Final Table Deal/Chops & then present them to the players (where they could accept or refuse). So yah, they'd be around all the time and you could easily get support staff to drop in on a table by summoning them.

All your interactions, both with the lobby and the tables, are recorded and saved. The time it takes you to make decisions in different situations is calculated. Even your mouse movements on the screen or touches on the touch screen are analyzed during the game.Poker rooms know all the devices or hardware you have on your computer, and also remember the IP addresses that belong to them.The servers store all your played hands for the entire period from the moment of account creation. If necessary, specialists can analyze your hand history or provide it to you upon request.

I'm sure they can. For example, a few years ago on PokerStars it was possible to call a moderator. I did that when I made a deal with another player that we split the prize pool for 2nd and 1st place equally instead of heads-up. :unsure:

It would be quite strange if poker sites did not have access to the internal data of their own platform. Sounds strange, don't you think?

I would think if a company had a fair site, with an imopartial RNG, it would want as much control as possible, to prevent cheating, collusion. So it makes sense that they continualy monitor the games.
Just like the casinos have everything videoed, and computerized, in the end, I think the sites would monitor it all, it makes business sense.

There are probably certain specialists who have access to all the information related to their site. The people who build such software and maintain it obviously have access to absolutely all the data.

Of course . Why should anyone have doubts about this I don't understand. It's obvious that it's very easy to do , profitable for the scammers , do why not . Even if they caych them , they will say sorry , blame an employee , and suckers will keep on playing . It has happened , it happens and it will be happening always

Hi :)
They have access to absolutely everything related to their business. This is obvious. Without such access, any return site would be overrun with fraudsters and would have constant technical problems.
