Our risk control department is on a sharp lookout for any kind of fraud.
DutchyPoker also considers collusion a type of fraud. Collusion is when two or more players are playing at the same card table, chatting via an outside (non-DutchyPoker) chatbox, talking on the phone, or even sitting in the same room, each one telling the other what cards he/she has. This kind of playing greatly increases the odds for that "team" while short-changing the rest of the players around the table. We're good at detecting collusion, so please play fair and have a good time!
The privacy of your financial and account information is of course top priority to us.
Abuse of our cardroom for
money laundering purposes is totally uncool. We're on the lookout for that, too.
If you have any questions, or if you suspect one or more players of breaking any of our rules, please contact our fraud control department.
