You'll be happy to hear that there is very little cheaters can do online. No one can mark the cards, no one can peek at your hole cards, no one can stack the deck or put a cold deck on the table. Playing poker online is very safe. The things that happen in land based casinos and card rooms can't happen online.

However, there is one thing that happens in land based casinos that some cheaters do try to get away with online: they try to collude. That means sharing information and playing their hands in order to help each other win. This is also known as "playing partners".

Clearly, colluding is not tolerated. In order to thwart any and all attempts at collusion among players. Microgaming Poker Network (previously known as Prima Poker) with its years of experience in fraud detection and prevention, has developed Collusion Detection Software (patent pending) that, among other capabilities, tracks all play in real time. Every hand played is automatically and instantly analyzed. The software watches for and recognizes in real time any and all plays used by colluding players and, whenever any suspicious plays are detected, the players' hand histories are brought up for examination by our experienced, expert security staff. Players who collude will have their accounts frozen and be banned from most poker casinos, Microgaming Poker Network and all affiliated sites worldwide.

The Microgaming Poker Network does not allow players to change their alias, and as such, you always know who you’re playing against.
