GGPoker Launches Poker Integrity Council to Combat Cheating


GGPoker has formed a Poker Integrity Council (PIC) to maintain and uphold the poker industry's reputation for honesty. The new council will work to spot any dubious activity, such as collusion, RTA, botting, or ghosting. The PIC may impose disciplinary sanctions such as a warning or account restriction. The most severe disciplinary punishment is an industrial blacklist, which bars the player from participating in all main live poker events in the industry.

Notable PIC voting members include Andrew Lichtenberger, Fedor Holz, Jason Koon, Seth Davies, and Nick Petrangelo. The PIC members will see the data for analysis as 'anonymized and encrypted' to maintain its impartiality when enforcing a judgment and preserve the users' privacy.

Bryn Kenney, Jake Schindler, and Ali Imsirovic are the three most prominent personalities in the poker world currently being investigated for significant cheating accusations.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
