There's nothing that bad with asking your customers to do that, especially when you're generally helping people get their accounts clear from wrong-doing and their funds restored. The only question I have is if having their accounts reinstated and their funds restored was contingent on them making a favorable post here? That would be a bit shady. I have no knowledge of whether that is the case or not.
You lock accounts simply because of complaints by other users? How much investigation is done prior to locking an account because of a complaint by your users? If one of your VIPs gets mad and complains because he keeps losing to the same foreign player are you just going to take their word that the other player is cheating and lock their account, especially if they don't pay for all of your extra gimmicks?
We have unlocked more than 50 accounts in the past week. There are only a handful of posts, unlocking account is not contingent on post but we ask them to write truthfully what happened afterwards, it is up to them if they do it just like I never asked anyone to write bad report, it is up to them that they post it on forum.
Any user who gets reported for colluding is automatically locked instantly, there is zero reporting, users do not know who is white or black or asian or chinese there is nothing in the avatar or any api/websocket to see where/what type a user is. They are locked instantly to prevent funds being withdrawn or transfered away or passed to another co-conspirator. We record the person making the complaint and look at their past record and we look at the hand that he/she is affected and if after investigation takes like 30 minutes or so it is indeed collusion then we compensate that user, if it is not then we unlock the account.
I think the forum people not quick enough or are sleeping havnt banned me, so if this post makes it up - consider lucky.

You think I hire people to make posts?
If that is the case there will be 100 posts.
Then how about the users with hundreds/thousands of posts posting the same thing, you think I somehow bought them as well?
I accept that bad posts gain popularity so people can get on the bash wagon.
There are so many foreigners/western people on the platform that say nothing/zero here when they make money.
Natural bias, it is what it is.
You contacted who?
Contact @todaymn on telegram if you need a dialogue about something.
Read the above post regarding RNG.
I guarantee people like you, after 2 months there is the RNG report you will still say its BS and rigged and crapped and all.
I reply you out of courtesy.
Just because somebody doesnt win doesnt mean its rigged, how about all the fish out there, they should complain even more then.
Someone said super users to view hole cards, please provide the basis for this? You call someone with A high and you win on the river your a pro reader, some fish calls you with bottom pair on 3 streets he is a super user with access to hole cards? Provide the user id of people you feel are super user on this forum and I will provide transparent data for all of you haters.
On a side note, if I am a super user I will not call with bottom pair or A high to expose my super userness, I will do it on top pair or something that attracts less attention.
We aim to provide users a fair environment, the vast majority 85%+ of our users do not use emulators or external software, only the pros use these, the pros already play in a more optimal way, there is nothing wrong with us banning such external software. You know NBA has rules on the type of shoes, headwear, goggles etc... so too does FINA for swimwear, there is nothing heinous in disallowing external stuff, I am sure Formula1 has rules for its drivers and cars. Its not like only Chinese or Asian can use external software and Europe/USA cannot.
If you don't like pokertime - you can play elsewhere, you like mcdonalds, eat it dont have to always say bad crap **** about burger king?

2. you can't prove any cheating, as how will you amass a database, that you can't provide as evidence later?!
They are not providing proof for RNG testing, which is pretty telling IMO.
I ended 47bb under EV this year, so unless you can sustain that kind of bullshit, I would stay away from this site, or buy insurance every single time you get a chance and get f-ed that way.
Also, there is clearly some collusion going on as well, so telling us about this collusion fighting dream machine that will be implemented in the future, doesn't change much. I agree and give credit for cleaning up some sort of cheaters on the site, but there is still collusion (low level compared to other apps) and there might be superusers (that don't see holecards, but see what cards will come)
Site is busy sucking his own d'ck and not taking constructive criticism from players, that actually understand the game best. (I contacted them many times and offered lots of input, yet always was ignored on some BS basis)
I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST THIS APP
If your account is locked and we find that you use emulator you need to show that you did not have external software while playing.

All supporting software (HUD, trackers and so on) is forbidden at Pokertime, if you are found in violation, your account will be banned.
PokerTime does not encourage the use of emulators. If you do use it your GPS location must match your real IP. However, if you use emulators it is your responsibility to prove that you do not use any supporting software if your account is called into question.“
I'm not planning on violating the new rules but how do they wanna keep track of violations ? Would be cool to atleast track the hands for graphs and reviews.
Thank you ttpoker
I hope all the pros stay away as well

Since I saw this thread here I stopped to grind on this site for awhile, but then decided to give it a try again.
Then KK < AK, KK < QQ, AA < 99, two pairs lost sets.
Ya it might be really run bad, but we all know how good are the games there, but after all these grind I up 1.5 buyin. It’s really abnormal guys.
I sincerely hope every pros to quit this site, not only the money matters, the time we spend on studying and grinding not worth to waste on a scam site like this.
And yes I never buy insurance on the site so I think the “effect” even more harsh to me.
I have no evidence of saying it’s a scam site, just my honestly opinion. I think it’s a ***** scam site and please stay away from it.
Gl with those who money got frozen as well, I am luckily enough that this didn’t happen to me.
Cheers
zero reporting should be zero investigation
meaning as soon as a user is reported by a seated user the reported user is automatically banned and the investigation starts.
The security team does not care if the reported users are foreign or asian or chinese, all the basis for such investigation is on whether there are cross sections of the current game or historical activity that points to collusion.
We ban more Chinese for collusion than foreigners on an absolute number basis.
You think Chinese can come on here and collude and get away with it? That is not correct. People also try to arbitrage luckycard, they all get banned and accounts cleared to 0, these are all done by Asian, we don't discriminate based on that. If we allow Chinese colluders then our volume will likely be 4x.
Everyday we have colluding workshops try to enquire and work with us, there are even dedicated websites out there that try to game the anti-collusion system of all the sites out there. - we never work with them.
We only sometimes go undercover to pretend to work with them and find out more about their methods.

Like I said, if their accounts and funds being restored wasn't contingent on them making a post then I don't think there's anything too wrong about asking them if they wouldn't mind making a post here.
Typo? I don't understand that sentence. Could you please restate what you mean? How can a user get reported if there is zero reporting?
I didn't mean your players would know if the other play was foreign, but that your security team would know that they were a foreign player who doesn't regularly pay for your extra gimmicks and might be more likely to suspend that account based on one your VIPs being upset about losing to that player based on their belief that the other player is cheating.
