Any online sites actually go after collusion?

Oh, I know, they all say they have sophisticated collusion tracking softwar,
but we all know they don't really give a shit.

In fact, as an experiment, someone could probably do the most blatant,
obvious collusion possible and they'd never be caught.

Are there any sites that actually go after collusion and not just give it
lip service?

I definitely have my doubts. I mean I see these guys doing it all the time.
Raising and reraising and they never make it to a showdown.

I've never reported them though, I usually just leave the table. I'd be
interested to know how the sites follow up, if at all, when someone reports
suspected cheaters.

PokerStars does. They look at play and money transfers. I have gotten refunds as
a result. Word.

Why didn't you report them?

Remember, pokersites have hand histories for ever. They can look at
what they have, if they play together regularly, if they have a
history of that sort of behaivour.

All that evil requires is that good men do nothing.

I've reported them. They usually send a nice letter saying "we researched
their past play and it was just coincidence" and leave it at that. I wonder
if they actually do any real investigation.

if they didn't they'd just send 'we'll look into it' and never send
another email :)

I was recently impressed with FTP's response to my collusion complaint.
I received a refund and the conspirators' accounts were barred.
Search my recent posts for that thread, or you can try this link:
