I often wondered about that. The thought of people doing that is very discouraging to those who spend hours applying their hard earned poker skills to gain rankings. I think this issue should be vocalized more and suspects reported in a special forum.

This is why two players at the same IP can't sit at a table. But it doesn't stop two friends from doing this.

There is 10 minutes between refills so this is a slow way to gain chips. And its risky to spend a lot of time getting chips to only have your account deleted.

You could possibly detect this by running stats that track winnings per hand. Anybody above a certain threshold could be viewed with suspicion.

I don't know if you track all the hands or not Ryan, but if so, you could then look at that player's hand history to confirm the suspicion of cheating.

I think this problem is a little overblown. How many times would someone have to do that to make 1500 add up to 1M or more? Seems unlikely someone is that desperate. Besides, somone is likely to notice before then and ryan can delete them. Not a lot more effort needed in my opinion.
