PartyPoker.com has earned the distinction of the ‘Fairest and Safest’ online poker site for its dedicated commitment in creating and maintaining a fair gaming environment. We totally understand the concerns players have about online gaming and have set up an independent department, which caters wholly to these concerns. The Investigations Team has been addressing issues relating to the integrity of the site and Fairness of the games since the inception of the PartyPoker.com. The Investigations team effectively tackles issues such as:

Collusion: Collusion happens between two or more players. It can be defined as a strategy intended to take an undue advantage over the other players at the table. We have developed a "Collusion Prevention System" to detect such players and ban them from the site. The sophisticated systems are developed on a high level technological platform and work based on a combined set of algorithms, permutations and combinations. We have further modified our systems to filter the players who collude and identify them so that appropriate action can be taken against them.

Cash out verification:
Our commitment to providing a secure environment necessitates the monitoring of funds, both into and out of the system. One of the functions of the Investigations Team is to verify cash outs for their subsequent processing. The basic criterion is to ascertain if the winnings being cashed out are legitimate. PartyPoker.com employs a unique combination of advanced system approvals as well as meticulous and skilled manual verification processes to minimize the fraud percentage. This resembles a post facto investigation which allows an in-depth verification into the various aspects of game play, financial details etc.

Inter Account Transfer
Inter Account Transfer privilege is given to the players based on the age of their accounts in the card room. Weekly limits are set for players depending on account status. This facility has been provided for players to transfer money to their friends instantly to enable them to play.

Please note that the Inter Account Transfer is granted for players to facilitate playing at the site without having the need to make a deposit. Hence, a player is not allowed to cash out money transferred to him by other player. If the player does wish to cash out he would need to play at least 20 raked hands after the transfer. If a player does not wish to play with that money transferred to his/her account, he/she needs to transfer the money back to the original player for cashout. Please note that this is implemented in the best interests of the game.

Security Message for Associated Users
At times you may get a message when you are trying to sit at a table indicating that you are associated with a user already at the table. This happens when our system detects a close association between your account and another account at table. This association is based on a number of parameters, and a system is in place to prevent any possible collusion by two people very well known to each other.

This is a standard security restriction that applies to all of our players and is nothing targeted at your account in particular.
