Beat: Got money back from Pokerstars

[Madman Madman]

So I check my email and get this message from pokerstars:

Hello,

PokerStars has become aware of two players who were in violation of our
poker room rules. You were involved in one or more hands with these
players. You have received a credit as a result. To confirm your
credit, log onto your PokerStars account, go to the 'Cashier' screen and
click the 'History' button. Your share will be shown as "Credit
Purchase", followed by the amount of the credit.

I regret that we are not at liberty identify the specific games or
players in question. Suffice to say that the players involved have been
barred from the site and you will not encounter them again.

Likewise we will not go into detail regarding the method used to
calculate your share of the funds distributed. I can say that it is based on
the net amount won using unfair tactics, combined with the number of
hands that you played at a table where unfair play was taking place.

The integrity of the games at PokerStars is of paramount importance to
us and we will not abide unfair play in our games. We work hard to
police our games to assure our players of a fair, secure place to play.
In those rare cases where collusion has actually occurred, we make sure
that any players affected are compensated appropriately.

Thank you for your continued play here on PokerStars. Please do not
hesitate to let us know any time we can be of help.


Regards,

Alvin
PokerStars Support Team

I think it's awesome that they are forthcoming with the fact that people do cheat and that they are policing them and actually catching them. This is much better than AP's approach. Integrity and reputation are built, not destroyed, by admitting that people can cheat the system and then taking steps to punish those that do.
