Sadly if money is involved, cheating is always going to be an issue, its an ever revolving battle between the Gameroom and the cheaters, once on exploit is fixed another one is exposed, it's just a battle of attrition.

When it comes to money, there are always people who cheat.

At some point I saw some poker site had gotten caught the people who had played as a team. But it said the AI had exposed those, their accounts were cancelled and the other people were returned what they had Lost to them. This was a good while ago and I don't remember which site it was.

What kind of cheating are you talking about? Years ago I came across some sort of multiaccounting "ring" with more than 100 connected accounts, that colluded to prematurely end late registration in satellites. For instance the satellite would require 6 players to start and pay top 3. Then a bunch of them would register in the last few seconds, before the tournament was cancelled, so that there were just the needed 6 players but no more.

And then in the very first hand 3 of them would move all-in preflop with, whatever they had, which would bring the number of players down to 4 and end late registration, before anyone else had time to join. In this way the satellite would run with a big overlay, so it was largely a way to cheat 888 Poker. I told 888 Poker about it, but for whatever reason after several month they had taken no action to stop it. And then I stopped playing there, so I dont know, if action was eventually taken.

Did it ever occur to you that the room itself organized this by planting bots.

I think you should review your game instead of thinking that you are being cheated. It could be analyzed in large tournaments, but I don't think the room will be much use for the 20 usd you can win in a tournament.

As the room leaves the countries, there will soon be only three cripples left. Regulars don't sit there, there's not much game, and the fast poker format on NL2 may attract up to 50 people on holidays. Regular cash tables are also not heavily loaded, and it's rare to find three full tables in the evening, especially at micro-limits. The higher the limit, the worse the situation becomes. Tournaments may attract a few players, but if there are bots, they will be in the tournaments. but according to the branch, there aren't many tournaments going on there either, meaning the bot will need to play almost all the tournaments in a day, but bots don't last forever either, they're calculated))

I've heard that some players use illegal software that provides them with information about other players' cards or helps them make decisions while playing.
