Online
Gambling
Sites
Protect
Cheaters
November
6,
2007
It
has
come
to
the
attention
of
many
online
gamblers
that
should
you
get
caught
cheating
at
one
site,
you
simply
move
to
another
one.
There
is
no
sort
of
master
list,
or
even
a
small
list
that
would
prevent
you
from
playing
online
gambling
anywhere
except
the
online
casino
where
you
got
caught
cheating.
Other
players
won’t
know,
no
one
will
– so
it
is
actually
beneficial
to
those
who
choose
to
cheat.
Online
gambling
companies
and
online
casinos
will
not
release
the
information
to
anyone
regarding
people
who
have
been
caught
cheating
on
their
sites.
Some
say
that
this
simply
protects
and
enables
the
cheaters
so
that
they
can
move
to
another
site
and
do
the
exact
same
thing.
However,
others
say
that
there
are
undoubtedly
privacy
issues
involved.
However,
if
one
is
caught
cheating,
it
would
only
make
sense
that
they
have
violated
the
terms
of
the
online
casino
and
therefore
have
given
up
their
rights
to
have
any
kind
of
privacy
at
all.
It
would
also
seem
that
by
not
releasing
this
information
that
the
other
sites
may
want
their
competition
to
get
ripped
off
as
well.
Experts
say
that
in
releasing
a
list
of
people
who
have
been
caught
participating
in
cheating
the
online
casino,
it
would
seem
a
sign
of
weakness
on
behalf
of
the
casino.
They
would
assume
that
if
someone
else
could
cheat,
then
their
site
must
not
be
as
safe
as
they
say
it
is.
However,
others
say
that
it
would
open
the
door
to
those
who
might
want
to
cheat,
and
knowing
that
the
online
casino
has
already
had
these
problems
the
casino
may
become
a
target.
Either
way,
by
protecting
the
names
and
identities
of
those
that
have
cheated
the
online
casino,
they
are
simply
hurting
those
that
do
not
cheat.
They
are
letting
them
know
that
they
will
not
publish
their
name
and
therefore
they
can
cheat
until
they
get
caught,
and
then
simply
move
to
the
next
one
and
do
it
again.
