I used to think the same way, but actually even such cases should rightfully be handed over to the police and then go to court, as it happened recently in a case against a danish pro. Allowing a game operator, who has an obvious interest in keeping peoples money, to act as both police and judge, is pretty questionable to say the least.

Moreover its one thing to confiscate winnings, that were achieved in a dishonest way, but its another thing to confiscate whatever deposit, the player might have made. In theory a player could deposit a million dollar, then cheat himself into a winning of 10$ in a SnG and have his million confiscated.

This is obviously an extreme example, but my point is, money deposited belong to the player, it does not belong to the poker site. Accepting anything else is like saying, that if you go to a bar and start a fight or in other ways break their rules, then the bar should be allowed to keep your 1 million dollar car, that you parked outside. Or your coat, which you left in the wardrope.

This is true, and if I had known, that the original reddit post had been deleted, I would not have started this thread, or I would have titled it different, as a moderator later did for me. But that being said its still a fact, that the TOS of ACR allow them to confiscate peoples money, if they deem, that "unethical play" took place. So you are kind of saying, that this is ok, as long as they dont actually do it? But if they never actually do it, why does it need to be in the TOS?
