I think it's good that they catch the bad players and reimburse the victims. Good move from pokerrom 888. Although I believe that in poker these are very rare cases, and sometimes someone can be accused. I'm curious on what basis they return money to other players because I see that everyone got the same amount ...

we will see what they will do in future with this kind of players and will this be just to show other players or they will really continue with this kind of things! its good that they start to catch players who cheat and who do wrong things on their site! but somehow I think that they are bit late and that they should do something like this many years ago like other poker sites did!

That's a lot of money being returned back to the players . This increases the level of trust towards this poker room by the players . It is good to see that the poker rooms takes the integrity of the game seriously , bans cheaters and returns the stolen money to the victimised players .

very good, I hope they continue working for the security of the room and to promote a fair and clean game for the welfare of the players, I have always valued this when I chose a room, I really like that poker rooms always take this into account.

cleaning of intruders must be done everywhere, otherwise the players will always be dissatisfied. I hope that this will happen, but some drastic laws are also needed. It's very nice.

we may not win, but some mobsters could win if they are regular poker players and have money to invests. Anyway, it's not easy at all to win big, it's very hard. Good luck.

in order for poker games to be more solid and for players to have more confidence, I propose tough laws where players who cheat get a heavy prison sentence. This thing will simplify a lot.

I believe that with stricter laws there will not be many people trying to cheat, I think this shows that the 888poker room is committed to the safety of its users, it promotes a fairer game.

The most important thing in this game is the safety and integrity of the player, we have a clean and fair game with these measures that have put 888poker, I wish all the rooms also improve every year so that this is eliminated.

Yes, it's a very good move on the part of poker room 888. Catching cheaters and punishing them. Refunds for honest players. They took a good path. I didn't know there was such a problem with it. You know, sometimes people confuse. Especially when it comes to more money, there will always be someone dishonest. This must be counteracted.
