Trick or Treat: partypoker admit that a collusion ring breached security - Lee Davy
https://calvinayre.com/2017/11/01/poker/trick-treat-partypoker-admit-collusion-ring-breached-security/Statement from Party:
"I can confirm a group of accounts were found to be playing in teams in order to collude against other players
BOT and collusion detection techniques can require a large number of hands in order to accurately analyse the information and identify rogue accounts. Therefore sometimes players are able to identify suspicious activity faster, depending on what they have experienced at the tables. We have sophisticated fraud control mechanisms in place that are continually being updated to counter new and more advanced fraudulent techniques
We always welcome proactive feedback from our players as it often helps us to identify issues faster
FYI - we have set up a new email address,
collusion@partypoker.com , where players can send their suspicions directly to the team who will review the case immediately. We have also formed a player panel of elite online players who will review hand histories in difficult cases and make a fair and impartial decision
Over the coming months we will be rolling out some highly advanced detection techniques that we are building
All seized funds will be redistributed to the affected players and all players involved will be permanently banned from playing on our site."
