Collusion in Online Poker: How Rooms Protect You
Collusion occurs when two or more players share information or coordinate their play to gain an unfair advantage. It is one of the most serious forms of cheating in online poker and all major rooms actively detect and punish it.
Rooms detect collusion through statistical analysis of hand histories. Colluding players tend to: never or rarely play pots against each other, show unusual raising and folding patterns when both are in a hand, and share improbable result correlations over large samples.
Player protection measures include: automated collusion detection algorithms running continuously, manual investigation teams that review flagged accounts, and policies for reimbursing victims when collusion is confirmed. If you suspect collusion, report it immediately with hand numbers and details.
