Ong is right about collusion happening everywhere , even stars , but stars are actively hunting for colluders and banning /confiscating their funds and refunding affected players. For sky to ignore reported collusion and then to belatedly act after it was exposed on 2+2 says little for the management in place their.They are more concerned with the rake players generate than attempting to keep the games fair for the players.
Yeah this totally. I understand cheating happens, and I'm even aware that people who cheat badly are actually hurting their winrate rather than boosting it. But it's essential that a poker room is doing its best to combat it. At the very least where reasonable suspicion lies (ie a public admission, screen shots of collusion chats etc) then accounts should be suspended pending investigation. If they won't even do that, what else will they turn a blind eye to?
This is certainly causing me to consider other options, that's for sure.
