SECTION IV – PLAYER CONDUCT AND TOURNAMENT INTEGRITY
39.
A.
The competitive integrity of all Tournament play at the World Series of Poker is paramount. All participants must adhere to the spirit and letter of the Official Rules of the WSOP which forbid play or any action that is illegal, unethical or constitutes cheating or collusion in any form.
i.
Cheating is defined as any act a person engages in to break the established rules of play to gain an advantage.
ii.
Cheating includes, but is not limited to, acts such as: collusion; chip stealing; transferring non-value Tournament chips from one event to another; card marking; card substitution; or the use of any kind of cheating device.
iii.
Collusion is defined as any agreement amongst two (2) or more players to engage in illegal or unethical acts against other players.
iv.
Collusion includes, but is not limited to, acts such as: chip dumping; soft play; sharing card information with another player; sending or receiving signals from or to another player; the use of electronic communication with the intent to facilitate collusion; and any other act that Rio and WSOP deem inappropriate.
"Collusion is defined as any agreement amongst two (2) or more players to engage in illegal or unethical acts
against other players."
