Clarification please on people playing same tourney in same household

REDARROW61

I watched last nights show with the Bromleys and they stated that they do play the same tourneys . I know of a couple that want to play DTD for example but it wont allow them both to register .

Enut

I have to say I was surprised by that too, I didn't think it was possible to have multiple players playing within the same address at the same time. It would make collusion very easy.

I have to add that I have taped last night's show and only watched a small bit of it so far but was VERY impressed by the Bromleys, lovely people and very, very good on screen personalities, the whole show looks like it was fun and I will enjoy watching the rest of it. I am in no way suggesting that they would be guilty of anything underhand, just to make that clear.

jordz16

Yeah i did wonder how that was allowed? 

REDARROW61

Me neither, was a good show, 

FlashFlush

I'm sure someone will come on with a proper answer. But as far as I know, you can't enter the same cash table or Sit n Go if you have the same IP address. MTTs are OK though as there is less chance of meeting each other on the same table.

Great point Phil ;')

yeh defo colluding could be happening

alex1229

I also taped last nights episode, and will be using it in court, i have sufficint eveidence that the bromleys colluded against me in a tournament last week.

NoseyBonk

As Flash said, pretty sure it's always been fine for MTTs.

Lambert180

Yeah, I believe MTTs have always been fine as flash says its unlikely you'll play on the same table much and tbf if people wanna cheat, they're gonna cheat, FB is just as easy as living in the same house.

Me and Emma have played in tons of the same mtts and satellites on sky with no issues (including the DTD)

PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it April 1st already ???


I Guess [Hope] you're Joking Adam.

The Bromleys are Honest, Straight, Construtive Members of The Sky Community!

Stuff posted like that may open can of worms that  maybe is not neccesary...

Thanks All, thats what i thought

You cannot sit down at the same cash table but you can in MTTs and STTs. However, we do have systems that flag people who play at the same table and will investigate and check where necessary. On occasion, if we feel it is merited or needed, we can block people from playing the same games as each other. As has been pointed out, in an MTT it would be much more difficult to collude as you cannot control what table you will be on.

In our experience, people who attempt to collude would rarely be so overtly known as the Bromleys as it would stand out to others. Plus, I'm sure Mrs B would love to beat Adam over all others! - helps keep her #BestBromley title which she has held for the last 5years.

As we've said on previous occasions, if you do believe you have reason to think someone is cheating, please do contact customer care. As we said, we do have checks in place but help is appreciated too.

One last thing, and sorry to be boring on this, but we'd recommend you don't joke about accusations of cheating because something that may be meant as 'tongue in cheek' could easily be misinterpreted and may offend.

Thanks

Sigh.

He was kidding.

I very rarely post on this side of the fence, but on this occasion, I feel the need.

Its time for a Mod' to take over and delete the thread. It may have started off as a bit of banter/cheekiness, but it's in danger of becoming a major issue, where there's NO issue whatsoever. 

TeddyBloat

think it was a fair issue to raise.

i dont know the bromleys, and if i found out i was on a table with a husband and wife playing from the same household i would want their play to be investigated - i'm sure they would understand why. i did not know that was allowed in MTT's, i do now.

some peeps know them and can vouch for them, the vast majority of us dont and cant. i'm glad sky have systems in place to deal with such eventuallities.

this thread should stay open, if it becomes abusive then yes close it down, so far people are just asking questions

DOHHHHHHH

It must be difficult (impossible?) to play your normal game against your partner/parents/siblings/close friends etc when you're deep in something like the main event. 

You wouldn't cheat or collude, but I'm fairly sure most would play differently. 

Doesn't matter if you're in the same room or a different country though, that makes no difference unless you're consciously trying to collude (cheat), something that cannot be prevented anyway, regardless of the geography.

Yes it's very difficult DOHHHHHHH... What tends to happen when u share a table at a live event with a sky reg', who also happens to be your roommate for the week, and u take him out... Is that he spits his dummy out, gets in his car, and drives home. Leaving u to pay the hotel bill by yourself. 

BRAHER

Living in the same household might make it easier, but in these times it can be done from different adds. How difficult is it to message someone.?? Impossible to control!!!                                                                                                                                                                                         I've had my suspicions in DYMs. Even little comments in chat box.

As far as I see it, its nothing to do with Us!!

Any Details/Evidence should go through proper channels at Sky, let them sort!!

The Post we are talking about could be just hearsay, or even Joking!!

The Player concerned, Alex1229,  has the route to make a complaint, and should do if valid!!
Hearsay about People that are My Friends,  on a Public forum , I don't like, nor will others!!



Proper Channels Please Sir!!!

 My wife and I have been playing  sky poker almost from its inception  and it came up a few years ago regarding people playing with the same isp address  the ruling was we could play MTTs but not SIT and GOs this is what we do now, I also know of several couples who also play and am sure all play with integrity.

I think its the ones that play using mobiles, and e mail to "talk" are the ones you need to watch

The Bromley's on last nights show
What a great show, they were absolutely fantastic.
Like ducks to water, so natural in front of the camera.
They should be asked back in the future imo.

As for playing in the same tourney on Sky I don't see a problem with that, 
there not breaking any rules. Many a time on Ch 861 the Bromley's, 
have been featured playing in the same tourney and no one as so much as batted an eye lid. So why all the fuss and bother now.

ok peeps move along. Nothing to see here, MOVE ALONG.

Yer!!!
 
Me n Hitpup play all the time!!!

...she won the main event other day, but I cannot tell anyone, so shhhh!!!!!!
