PokerStars Gives an Insight Into Its Game Integrity Team

Level 15 : 3,500/7,000, 875 ante
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.

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.”
