Yes "what?" Is a very good answer to this post

He would be an awesome addition to the game integrity team of zinga poker with his insider knowledge.

Bots, Multi-entry, collusion, and live assistance.

The lower sophistication methods are all easy to catch- so shame on ACR, Betonline, and ignition.

It has been heard that friends sit down at the cash tables and play as a team
It has been heard that someone creates multiple accounts and plays

Please share what you have heard!
A few years ago I played a free satellite on pokerstars that included 10 tickets to a second satellite. So I'm at the bubble, there are 11 players left (I was in 8th place at that time), and at my table there was a chip leader (1st place) and players from 11th to 9th place. All of them were from argentina (including the chip leader). And they were talking in chat in Spanish (but I didn't translate their dialog), in the end the chip leader only raises when I was on the big blind, against the rest of the players he folded. I was eliminated after 3 laps in the end (and yes, all my hands were below “K10”). Of course, it was very frustrating for me. I believe it was cheating and unfair play against me. :unsure:

It is called "collusion" and strictly prohibited.
Unfortunately, the process or idea of forming a team of poker players exists and is real, and I have heard about it, and I saw it myself in one of the casinos. As for online poker, this is difficult to discover, especially if the players are from different regions or countries.

I dont know the ways, but im sure it happens. Wherever easy money cand be won, cheating comes along. The idea is to keep it as low as possible

Collaboration among poker friends and manipulation of rigged rigged RNG are the worst cheating cases imo , a real cancer in online poker .
