Nice email to receive, you couldnt see Pokerroom doing this !!!!
Hello,
PokerStars has become aware of players who were working together in our Sit & Go tournaments to the detriment of other players. You were involved in at least one tournament with these players and as a result you may have been adversely affected.
The players' accounts were closed and their funds frozen pending a thorough investigation, which is now complete. In a case such as this it is our policy to confiscate the colluders' winnings or balances and to distribute them to the players affected by their actions in as fair a way as possible. To confirm your credit, log onto your PokerStars account, go to the 'Cashier' screen and click the 'History' button. Your share will be shown as a "Credit Purchase", followed by the amount of the credit.
I regret that we will be unable to answer questions as to how your specific credit amount was calculated. Likewise, we are not at liberty to identify the specific games or players in question. Suffice to say that they have been barred from the site and you will not encounter them again.
The integrity of the games at PokerStars is of paramount importance to us and we will not abide cheating or collusion in our games. We work hard to police our games and prevent such instances. In the rare cases where collusion has actually occurred, we make sure that any players affected are compensated appropriately.
Thank you for your continued play here on PokerStars. Please do not hesitate to let us know any time we can be of help.
Best Regards,

Standard.
Well for stars that is, the class act in the internet poker world. I have seen them do this kind of thing before, they constantly monitor the games to make sure they are clean.

Thanks, was just wondering if there was a conclusion from the official enquiry assuming there was one. If this sort of thing happens on Stars, Lee Jones usually posts what he can to explain the situation.
If only Stars did rakeback...

Stars have certainly set a standard which no other sites come close to matching. Since it is easy to see what they do and why it works, it begs the question why aren't the other sites trying to replicate it?

Just rang British Gas and Tescos, they both say they don't take FPPs or EPT seats as payment yet. Maybe if poker gets a bit more popular...
