The PokerGO brand is also on board, with confirmed cheats facing a ban from the PokerGO Tour, the Super High Roller Bowl (SHRB), and the Poker Masters. What follows is a resume of the biggest events and tours in the world, headed by the WSOP, WPT, and Triton Poker. “Cheaters that are Industry Blacklisted by the PIC, will be barred from participating in any tournaments and events under the following brands.” “To keep the cheaters from prospering in the poker industry, and to deter future cheating, the PIC has formed an alliance with the support of all the major live poker tours,” the site revealed. The problem so far has been a consistent approach to dealing with cheats and cheating, something the GGPoker Integrity Council hopes to address. PokerStars recently made an equally bold statement, their Head of Game Integrity Francis Lincoln stating: “We want to make sure that those who seek to damage the poker community, either financially or reputationally, have no place in our game.” GGPoker’s PIC ‘Mission Statement’ promises to target such egregious breaches of the rules, stating: “The mission of the Poker Integrity Council (PIC) is to protect the integrity of the poker industry by investigating allegations of cheating, conducting fair and independent reviews, and enforcing industry-wide sanctions for the most egregious cheaters.” Well-publicised cases involving Ali Imsirovic and Jake Schindler hit the headlines back in April, both men accused of Real-Time Assistance (RTA) use, followed by Bryn Kenney facing serious allegations of ghosting and multi-accounting. The anti-cheating body was announced a few weeks ago, with today being the big day where words start to be translated into action, as the game reels from multiple revelations of cheating at the highest levels. August 1st 2022 promises to be a landmark day in the fight against poker cheats, with the launch of GGPoker’s Poker Integrity Council (PIC), a five-man team headed by Jason Koon aimed at weeding out poker’s worst villains.
