Of course we know about super-user accounts and collusion. Do you think we are all poker ******s? Jump into a thread like a dick preaching like you are telling us something we don't know makes you look a bit of an ass.
To my knowledge the only times it's been proven a super-user ability was used to cheat was ultimate bet and absolute poker scandal five years ago. And of course there is always a risk that some individual that has access to it that works for a poker site will abuse it. Trouble is if they cheat long enough they will get spotted. Difficult to be careful enough to keep stats from showing to big of a variance when you can see the cards coming. They would have no way to keep track while playing who they had won/lost to and to control their stats without it getting out of shape of time.. Short-term they can do damage for sure though. Longer if they are careful too.
Is it happening now. Good question. If it is it won't be at my level, or at the level of 99.99% the donks complaining of rigging.
Collusion is a serious issue, but is NOT rigging. That is people trying to cheat other players. Where there is money there will be people trying to cheat. I mean hell I used to play WOW and there were massive amount of gold farming done by Chinese people that then sold the gold for cash in the game. So if they do it in a game as silly as that is no surprise they want to do it in poker where the rewards are far, far bigger.
It's a problem the sites try to deal with, but it's a problem that I'd think that is a bit like playing whack a mole. Some games suffer more than others with it.
