ghosthunting - when a weak player somehow makes it to the final table and gives his login and password to a stronger friend so that he can pull out the win
chip dumping - when one deliberately dumps chips (money) to another for a certain reward agreed upon outside the game
PS also bumhunting - when you specifically find tables with weak opponents (cash game) although this is not exactly cheating, but I remember players were banned for this

Yes, this topic is probably not very popular, because probably there are only fair players in the cardschat forum!

the world is cruel and wherever there is money there are people who are trying to win (not earn) money, and the methods are different, trust the top rooms, there is at least some kind of fight against dishonest gaming

A type of cheating in online poker is when one player at the table deliberately loses in hands where his opponent is his accomplice.There have always been many types of fraud. But the advent of the computer era has opened up new opportunities for scammers. In addition, the online gaming industry allows scammers to act anonymously. In modern online poker, there are more than a dozen types of fraud.Team cheating is carried out in the following way: players who pursue common interests are at the same table. This is the so-called "teamplay" - a situation when a group of poker players gathers and communicates information about their cards to each other using a system of signals they have invented.Another example of teamplay is pre-agreed actions. The following situation is possible: each member of the scammers' team takes turns raising the bet, and the victim is forced to either call or fold.
Many poker players resort to the help of special programs - solvers. It's one thing when they are not prohibited for use, another - if they are on the room's blacklist.

I don't know how it happens on other poker rooms, but it's very difficult to do this on pokerstars when playing at cash tables, because if you do illogical things very often, your account will be frozen until the circumstances are clarified!!! Regarding multiple accounts, it's not that simple either, for example, your method of replenishing your account and withdrawing money is linked to your account, and it is also tracked, so you won't be able to replenish or withdraw funds to the same account from multiple accounts!!! No poker room is interested in illegal actions being noticed on their platform, because it affects their reputation and, accordingly, the number of players!!!Yes, of course there are scammers, but they are regularly caught and banned!!!

Its called Ghosting and not Ghosthunting.
Another way to cheat would be cardsharing but i think many here already know what that is ☺️

 

[ramdon p358]

I think the best known are multi accounts, there are players who sign up for tournaments with more than one account and even others who play as a team.

 

[Rachidao]

I don't know a lot of ways of cheating, but using solvers is one way.

 

[Aleksandr1991]

I've noticed many times that the player plays differently

 

[GNuTTz]

Very discouraging thought.
I believe that some players collude and discuss via phone or IM platforms while playing online.

I look at players cards it realy helps

It's very easy, secretly, to players communicate during a cash game match at a table. For example, if there's two or more villains (as a team) at the same tabe, they can easily communicate by using a messenger App to share their hands and act from that shares. This is a type of cheating not always easy to track. This may not happens (too much) in tourney as the players change tables often, and is more difficult to keep such a 'team' till the final table.

I think at fast fold tables, there are sometimes teams that come in together and share their hole cards to give themselves an edge in a particular deal when a few of them get seated together at a table. Could probably even happen with a single player working with a bot team that reports back to him. Of course can't prove it's happening as a single player.

If I found out that one of my friends was cheating, I would warn him about the bad consequences.

When two friends or person with 2 accounts are playing sit&go for 2, they can transfer money.

I recently saw a suspected cheat at a free roll table of all things. Player 1, the table chip leader raised pre flop, all fold except one who went all in a raise of only 20 chips...the chip leader folded. really after betting 600 chips he folds for 20 chips??? sounds fishy to me..

Some beginner team players, when they reach a final table, are helped by instructors.

 

[Chebchoub]

As far as I know, all poker rooms prohibit any method of cheating, especially creating multiple accounts, and the poker rooms remain responsible for this issue or other types of cheating.
As for forming a team and entering tournaments or cash tables, I do not think there is a law prohibiting that, whether in online or live poker.

 

[infonazar]

I've heard of people creating multiple accounts and playing. But I've also heard that such people are almost always identified and blocked. It's better to be a respectable player and not risk the opportunities we have.

It is called "collusion" and strictly prohibited.

very fishy .... but online anyway, sometimes the big stack that eventually folded has misread the size of the reraise, gotten involved at another table , had to run to the bathroom, or been disconnected from wifi ( all have happened to me in big pots ). you can be suspicious but not completely sure .

I read about various cases of fraud, but in general, all these manipulations ended badly for their organisers. We can only hope that poker sites will take proper care of their and our safety.
