Online Poker Cheats
One of the biggest worries of anyone gambling at poker over the Internet is online poker cheats. Players understand that poker is a game of chance but want to make the game as fair as possible by preventing others from engaging in online poker cheats.
Certainly the Internet has eliminated some of the common ways that people try to buck the system in live casinos. For example, in physical poker games, unscrupulous players sometimes try to use sleight of hand to swap cards to their advantage or attempt to mark cards. Another way people try to cheat in physical casinos is to sneak a peek at their opponents' cards; an online casino does not enable that sort of trickery.
So, what kind of online poker cheats are common? There are several kinds of online poker cheats that concern casinos and honest players alike:
Collusion: Collusion is when two players work together sharing information in order to win. For example, two players could join the same table and communicate by phone (or by sitting in the same room and talking) to compare their cards. One way that Internet casinos can foil this kind of online poker cheats is by random table assignments; no you can't play with your friends if the seats are randomly assigned, but neither can the cheaters.
Disconnects: Most casinos have the ability to deal with this fairly, but some cheaters try to disconnect, making it look like an Internet failure, when they do not want to call. Usually, the casino can identify this kind of cheat fairly easily.
Hacking: Another worry pertaining to online poker cheats is the potential that a hacker will crack the casino server and affect the cards that are dealt. Yes, it is possible, but unlikely due to the security in place at most casinos; and, even if it did happen, it would probably be detected very quickly.
Of course, if you believe that someone at your table is engaging in online poker cheats, you should contact customer support with your suspicions immediately. Casinos have expert personnel assigned to detect and handle online poker cheats.
