Reporting collusion on PartyPoker - phone call or email?
I just encountered a situation in which I was the victim of two players colluding in the PartyPoker chat box. (See enclosed hand history)
What is the best way to voice my displeasure to PartyPoker? I am hopeful that PartyPoker will refund my buy-in and/or ban the offending player - as a semi-regular 4-tabler, they would hate to lose my business. #Game No : 1621225529 ***** Hand History for Game 1621225529 ***** NL Hold'em $30 Buy-in + $3 Entry Fee Trny:9738110 Level:4 Blinds(50/100) - Sunday, February 20, 16:53:33 EDT 2005 Table Table 12772 (Real Money) Seat 7 is the button Total number of players : 8 Seat 1: jgeibig ( $1450 ) Seat 2: LooneyPlayer ( $1075 ) Seat 3: ejs24 ( $800 ) Seat 5: FugitivSlave ( $110 ) Seat 6: ledhead80111 ( $575 ) Seat 7: usurebouthat ( $1305 ) Seat 8: diegojeff ( $590 ) Seat 10: eagles_fan22 ( $2095 ) Trny:9738110 Level:4 Blinds(50/100) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to FugitivSlave [ 9h 9d ] >You have options at Table 12284 Table!. jgeibig folds.

IMO, they won't do too much about this. I'm guessing they'd block his chat. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I hope Party does something about this. These clowns should be drug out into the middle of a soccer stadium and castrated.

Re: Reporting collusion on PartyPoker - phone call or email?
I e-mailed them a few possible collusion hands once and they do plenty about it. Here's part of thier reply that I recieved very soon after sending them the hands...
"We have looked into all the necessary aspects of their account history on our card room and we would like to share with you the following important facts that helped us to come to a conclusion: 1. These players have been confirmed to play from different states. 2. They together played only on one table from the day they created their account at our site. 3-They opened their accounts at a different time and do not have any common information on their financial profile. 4- We have gone through all the game records and have confirmed that there is no sign of collusion at all. We have focused not only on the hands in which you have been included, but also all the hands in which they have been together by themselves. 5-We have further studied the frequency of their logins and logouts, in order to confirm any pattern that suggests that they are scheduling their presence at the tables, but no strange coincidences have shown up either. We are glad to have players who care for partypoker.com integrity, and will always investigate fully any suspicious activity submitted by our players. Please feel free to contact us if you need any clarifications in this regards." |

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] You were right... nevertheless, I am pleased to see that usurebouthat will no longer be allowed do what is 'proper.' Dear XXXXX, Thank you for bringing this to our notice. We do see that the conversation between these players was indeed inappropriate. Hence we have conducted a detailed investigation on both the accounts to check for any possible team play between them. We have looked into all the necessary aspects of their history in our card room and we would like to share with you these important facts that helped us arrive at a conclusion: 1- Both these players are coming from DIFFERENT STATES in USA. 2- This is the ONLY TOURNAMENT where they have shared tables, in their entire association with this card room. 3- We have gone through all the game records of this tournament and confirm that there is no sign of collusion involved. Also note that we have focused not only on the hands in which the player has been involved, but also all the hands in which they have been together by themselves. However, we do agree that the table conversation that transpired between these players is inappropriate to say the least. As a result of this report and consequent investigation, we have now 1) Blocked the chatting facilities of the players ' usurebouthat' and ýdiegojeffý. 2) Flagged their accounts to periodically review the activities in these accounts. 3) Issued stern warnings to both the players, informing them about possible sterner actions in case such activities are repeated in their account. Linda, we thank you for getting this to our notice, as this is in keeping with our priority of keeping up the integrity of this card room. It indeed is heartening to have players like you in this card room who care about the integrity of our games. Contact us anytime, we are available around the clock to assist you with your account related questions and suggestions. Best regards, Shekar Investigations Team for Poker alerts@intertopspoker.com |

Re: Reporting collusion on PartyPoker - phone call or email?
I would email them back saying i should be refunded my buy in, since I was cheated.
Otherwise, I will be playing elsewhere. Party Sucks. SWUSC |

I agree -- I think you should ask for restitution TT -- though I doubt you will get it.

Re: Reporting collusion on PartyPoker - phone call or email?
You guys are right... I should have asked for restitution. Ironically, I did end up asking for restitution, since another player behaved ten times worse than usurebouthat. Here is an excerpt of a long complaint I sent to IntertopsPoker (the angry comments are intended for Intertops and not the 2+2 populace [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]). If you weren't already aware, I'm FugitivSlave, and my female avatar (even though I'm a male) tends to result in many sexist comments when I eliminate players. In the case of twentyputts, though, sexism extended to outright cheating.

Game #1627766188 starts. As you can see, twentyputts tells AznAngel1004 how to play his hand while another player is all-in. I tried to warn twentyputts that his behavior was out of line.

He continued harassing me in the chat box, inserting spaces into his cuss words to bypass the censor. During hand #1627801279, he TYPES HIS HAND INTO THE CHAT BOX BEFORE GOING ALL-IN!

I have no tolerance for players who attempt to cheat or try to gain an unfair advantage over others. There need to be serious consequences for players like twentyputts who need to cheat to win tournaments. I will cash out my ENTIRE balance and never play another hand at IntertopsPoker or PartyPoker unless something is done immediately to repay AznAngel1004 and myself, who were cheated out of a chance at 1st place in tournament #9775871. Please respond to this urgent issue as soon as possible. |

I was merely THREATENING to leave so that Intertops would actually pay me something instead of just banning this clown's chat privileges. I would never play on another site unless clearing a bonus. |
