Being a systems analyst and programmer, I reckon there are quiet a few dodgy things online. Realistically they answer to no one, and they are never policed. They can do whatever they like. How good are they at tracking collusion ? I don't think they are too good, and I don't think they give a s__t ! Ever
HEEEY PIET...Hoe gaan dit daar anderkant?? Dankie vir jou gedagtes
Well if it's professions I worked my entire professional career in the aviation industry, including a 3 year stint in FFP fraud prevention and detection.
I remember doing some research on collusion when I first started taking poker seriously and before making my first deposit. And what I read about
pokerstars doing for collusion convinced me that making the first deposit with them wasn't a mistake.
I just discovered two more interesting reads
here &
here.
I'm not saying collusion and other forms of cheating are non existent. But it would be a mistake to assume that poker operators are doing nothing about in light of the scandals that have turned up over the years.
Did some digging around about the RNG as well and it's interesting to see that PS are ISO certified (
here and
here) by a third party organisation, who in turn have to be accredited by individual governing bodies (
here and
here) in countries to operate.
I'm not a PS fanboy but they are the biggest poker operator in the world by marketshare and have the most exposure. I'm sure other industry leaders like
888 and party have similar, if not the same, practices in place.
