Stopping collusion...mark 2
I recently started a thread in which i talked about reporting collusion. The thread was accidentily deleted by Sky Sam and he has told me to go ahead and repost it. I'd like to thank contributers to the original thread i.e. YoYo,Vulture,day4eire76,BBMike and Matt237.
My original post went something like this:
As a community we have a responsibility to protect one another by reporting suspicious play through the correct channels. Public accusations on the forums serve no purpose other than to warn the players involved and give them a chance to withdraw funds before customer care can hold an investigation.
Another forum member and I recently uncovered a case of collusion in DYM's. During this case it literally sickened me to watch game after game where the cheats where so blatant that my co detective and I were able to predict their exact action before each hand. We decided not to publicly air our concerns or to say anything to any other players but to report the matter in the correct procedure.
We let Sky customer care do their job before money was withdrawn from the site. This action has led to the victims being compensated. I ask everyone to follow our example and take your suspicions to customer care and not the forums.

I would say though that these threads talking about collusion and how they were caught might well deter potential new players from playing (a new player already voiced their concerns yesterday) as it may look like it's epidemic on Sky. On the plus side, it will surely deter others from trying it.
The Customer Care system often gets knocked here, so it's good to learn of a case where firm action has been taken and money rightly returned to those who have participated in an unfair game.
Explains alot.
I got a £20 refund after playing a tonne of games with these 2 scumbags at £22's
In a nutshell, you could've told me who it was in the space of time it took u to type in 'move on, forget about it' condescendingly to someone who has been cheated Matt, whilst you had what invested?
It might be boring because its not relevant to you, like 99% of threads and posts are too me, it doesn't mean I should go out my way to say so.
Not looking for further action, mentioned I played a lot with them to justify my need to know. Not that I should have had too.
