PokerStars Allows One Chinese Player per Cash Game Table

After a series of cheating scandals related to China-based players, <a href="http://www.rakerace.com/poker-rooms/pokerstars/" title="PokerStars Room Review"><strong><em>PokerStars</em></strong></a> resorted to limiting the number of Chinese players allowed at the same time at their DoN SNG and cash game tables.

PokerStars
first discovered the collusion of China-based players earlier this year, when players from Hangzhou were caught cheating at the DoN SNG tables. The company closed 38 accounts and compensated the affected players, paying over $2 million in total. Later, PS prevented Chinese players from playing at the same DoN tables together.

The same regulation has lately been introduced to cash game tables as well. China-based players received a message from PokerStars Support that reads as follows:

“PokerStars has introduced a new security feature which prevents players from certain countries playing at the same ring game table. This restriction means that only one player from each of these countries is able to play at the same ring game table.

“You are able to play at any ring game table you wish, but once you are seated no other player from your country will be able to join the table. Similarly, if another player from your country is seated, you will be unable to join that table until they leave.

“We regret the inconvenience that this has caused you, but this policy has been implemented to enhance the integrity of the games.”


Although a bit harsh, PokerStars’ move is perhaps justifiable by taking the interest of the rest of the players into consideration.
