Strange Activity Right Now

Look at the HU tables lobby

There are dozens of tables with players away.  Hypers running for 30 mins.

Something odd is happening

    why would one player play 20 HUSNG against 10 other individuals and sit out in them all, and have the opponent sit out too?

    why would each game last 30 mins without any player intervening?

    Hi Rob,

    I've no idea, but I've sent the thread upstairs.

    Thanks for the, err, heads up.

    maybe it's someone collecting for their favourite charity?
    hope that £1000 is going to a good cause

    one particular player wins nearly all games.

    opponents are real skypoker accounts yet do not appear to have played any games or mtt

    bunch of three games against a new player every ten minutes.

    Hi everybody,

    The issue has been dealt with and we are currently looking into it further, the Heads-Up Sit and Go lobby has been returned to normal with the Sit and Gos in question removed.

    Thanks.

    Obviously creating new accounts to get the new player bonus then dumping the chips to himself via HU sng's. Seen a few players doing this unfortunately...

    Thanks SkyPeter for the feedback. Not the first day nor apparently the first culprit - sounds like you need some more detection systems in place. How about using sharkscope on all new accounts to check for improbable profitability?  One look at today's villains chart and it was very clear he needed investigating. There won't always be an aussie09 on the lookout.

     i am talking about the sng hu activity that aussie09 identified. This could be due to money laundering which is absolutely illegal. and i for one and I'm sure there are others that would never play on sky again if they allowed this to continue.

    the scale of this scam must have been quite significant.  he carried on after these figures.  say 500 games at an average of £4 this was skypoker being taken for £2,000.  had he got away with it.

    was this a consequence of no longer requiring a deposit and giving a £10 bonus to new players who open an account?
