GGPoker Unveils Poker Integrity Council
![](https://recentslotreleases.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/ggpoker-unveils-poker-integrity-council.jpg)
GGPoker launched the Poker Integrity Council (PIC), which will spearhead an industry-wide effort to protect the integrity of poker by investigating allegations of cheating, conducting fair reviews and enforcing sanctions for the most egregious cheaters.
The council is composed of well-respected community members, who will independently investigate suspicious behavior flagged at GGPoker tables.
In each case brought before the council, the following process will be followed:
-
DETECTION – suspicious behavior such as collusion, botting, use of real-time assistance (RTA) or ghosting is flagged for review
-
REVIEW – the relevant hand histories (with the player detail anonymized) will be reviewed by Jason Koon, GGPoker Integrity Ambassador, and the Poker Integrity Council members
-
RULING – the council members will vote on whether or not disciplinary action is required
Should disciplinary action be warranted, this can include the player being warned about their behavior, their account being suspended or permanently banned by GGPoker, and a permanent ban combined with confiscation of funds.
In addition, in the most serious cases, a decision can be made to add the player to an industry blacklist. GGPoker’s PIC has allied with the industry’s biggest live poker tours and venues, including the World Series of Poker (WSOP), World Poker Tour (WPT), Triton Poker, Poker After Dark, Kings Casino, Asian Poker Tour (APT) and many more.
Blacklisted players will be barred from entry to events hosted by PIC allies, to further protect the wider poker community.
Notably, with the inception of the Poker Integrity Council, GGPoker can review the status of players previously blacklisted from the online poker room upon their request, and in certain circumstances remove or reduce the bans currently enforced.
The Poker Integrity Council members are:
-
Jason Koon
-
Andrew ‘LuckyChewy’ Lictenberger
-
Fedor Holz
-
Seth Davies – Run It Once
-
Nick Petrangelo – Upswing Poker
“I joined GGPoker with an important objective in mind; to help the GGPoker team make their poker games more secure and fair than ever,” said Jason Koon, GGPoker Integrity Ambassador. “It’s an honor to launch the Poker Integrity Council and take another massive step in ensuring online poker is safe for all players. Our long list of allies also means that the wider community will be better protected via the industry-wide blacklist; we’re sending a united message that there’s no place in this game for cheaters.”
A press conference regarding the Poker Integrity Council will be held at Bally’s Las Vegas Hotel & Casino on Tuesday, July 5.

Kindred Reports Decline in Revenue from High-risk Players for Q4 2024
![kindred-reports-decline-in-revenue-from-high-risk-players-for-q4-2024](https://recentslotreleases.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/144567-kindred-reports-decline-in-revenue-from-high-risk-players-for-q4-2024.jpg)
Kindred Group has reported decline in its share of revenue from high-risk players for the fourth quarter 2024 at 2.7% (Q3 2024 3.2%). The percentage of detected customers who exhibited improved behaviour after interventions showed an improvement at 92.2% (compared to 87.3% in Q3 2024). This positive trend is mainly the result of stricter measures across key markets, improved internal processes, as well as the exit from non-locally licensed markets as part of to the acquisition by La Française des Jeux (FDJ) in October 2024. This shift reflects Kindred’s broader commitment to maintaining high regulatory standards and fostering safer gambling practices.
“It is pleasing to see the decline in high-risk revenue during the fourth quarter of last year. We know that the share fluctuates between quarters, but the long-term trend is showing a steady decline. We remain dedicated and focused on improving our systems and processes to ensure we offer our customers a safe and fun experience,” Esther Scheepers, Head of Responsible Gambling at Kindred Group, said.
“The increased focus on responsible gambling by regulators and the industry is welcomed. From our end, we see that by combining our expertise with emerging technologies, we can further enhance detection capabilities. We are currently working on our existing detection system in combination with an additional system that will enable us to integrate more robust compliance features and optimize our overall approach to safer gambling. Furthermore, we are exploring opportunities to expand our research efforts, aiming to support data-driven discussions and looking at emerging trends in consumer protection. All these aspects are important to protect the integrity of the licence model and maintain a level playing field,” Esther Scheepers added.

• 84% of players have participated in lotteries and number games, which remains the most common form of gambling.
• 71% of players answer yes, absolutely or yes, to some extent when asked whether they think gaming companies take responsibility for gambling problems.
• 66% know that it is possible to disconnect from gambling via Spelpaus.se, but awareness is slightly lower among women.
