a sky security query
last month a new name won the poker league and (having played a significant number of hands with them) seemingly crushed the games between 10p-20p and 50p-£1 (maybe higher). so far this month that same player has less than 1% of the points they accumulated last month. sky no longer make previous month's poker leagues available which prevents me from spotting any other random players who come and go in such spectacular style
i wont name the player because i know sky dont like that but the player i am referring to played up to 14 tables simultaneously. for someone to have a set up with that sort of capabilities suggests they have invested a lot of money and practice at mass multi tabling.
i can think of another handful of players with similar characteristics and will happily name them if sky asks/allows me.
my concerns are:
why would a player who was crushing the games suddenly quit?
what measures does sky have to ensure that this was not a poker bot?
at least i suspect multi accounting. what are sky doing to stop this?
sorry if this is all a bit area 51 but i simply dont believe that players turn up, crush, then quit. from what i can work out it looks like this player literally played in august...not before and a handful of hands after.
Hey
If you, or anyone else suspect anyone of multiaccounting, please report it to Customer Care who will pass it onto the relevant people to look at it, it serves no useful perpose to use the Forum.
Thank you for your understanding

The issue was looked into by Sky and apparently they couldn't get enough evidence.
I think I know the guy you are talking about, I reckon he's been thru at least 2/3 other IDs and he is now back to his normal one...in fact he posts on the forum now and then.
One think I am certain of tho is that it isn't a bot lol.
maybe they just fancied trying to win it for a month????
you must need to play so many tables and play so many hours to win the league id say maybe this month they are having a break.........................

im with scotty on this one.
i think this is definitely a case of multi accounting.
worries me that sky havent done anything though
got into trouble with naming names before
now im a good boy and get a sarcastic well done from greghogg lol
i didnt reallly suspect bot but would be very interested to know what sky does security wise...i have contacted before and if im honest i dont have a lot of faith in them
As for not having faith in them, i had a recent issue that was resolved quite quickly, and fairly. So try it, you might be surprised.
huuuuume - if you have cause for concern, please contact Customer Care. Sky Poker takes allegations of collusion and multi-accounting very seriously and the appropriate department will investigate.
as long as people aren't named, and thus potentially falsely accused, then whats the harm in having a discussion about it?
Thank you

He would have only made about £100 extra at the end of the month as it is capped at £1k.
This is assuming of course that the cfp bonus starts after u have cleared the new player bonus and doesnt run alongside it.
The guy ur talkin about is a machine, ive even seen him put stuff in chatbox while 14 tabling lol
Something somewhere doesnt add up
As to the Thread, it depends upon the motive for the thread. If it is a genuine concern - & I'm sure it is - then the quickest, & EASILY most effective way of solving it is to send it to Customer Care. There is not a shadow of doubt about that - none whatsoever. A Forum debate is fine & dandy, but if players think there is a problem, the Forum cannot solve it - it needs sending to Customer Care.
I will now do that, this moment, & I have no doubt they will contact those who have made the allegations if they see fit.
Sky WANT to keep the site clean, but players need to do their bit, too, by alerting Customer Care of any suspicions.
I have now sent the Thread to Head Office.
the thread is worth a lot more than me just sending a single email. there are a lot of reputable players in this thread who have made contributions which in my opinion definitely make it worthwhile opening up to the forums.
like mahony said above it didnt make sense that a successful player played for just the single month, especially if he seemingly won 3.8k in that month (45.6k a year). it doesnt add up
when opening a new thread it says 'start a new discussion' and thats what i did and thankfully a discussion is all it ever has been.
For me personally I think it is important that threads are made like this (where no names are mentioned) and that sky can try and be as open as possible. I realise Sky will say they don't want to give our their techniques but tbh I am very unsure of what the sky security department entails with regards to poker especially when considering what sort of techniques would usually be used to uncover cheaters/suspect play.
