PokerStars Game Integrity
PokerStars Game Integrity

Protecting at the tables is one of PokerStars’ top priorities according to a video released on the world’s biggest online poker site’s YouTube channel.

Sadly, cheating and poker go hand-in-hand like eggs and ham. Cheaters will always look to make a quick buck whenever money is on the table. It’s one of the downsides of human nature.

Thankfully, the PokerStars Game Integrity team is on hand to prevent its players from all forms of cheating, be that collusion between two or more players, the use of banned software, and even tracking down “bots.”
