| Unethical play on-line! |
Members will be pleased to know that the EBU has been taking action, where they've found sufficient evidence of unfair or dishonest play. Over recent months there have been several instances where it has been proved that online players have had knowledge of some aspects of each other’s hands obtained by illicit communication with each other. The disciplinary action taken has resulted in suspension of EBU membership for periods of up to 5 years.
There’s more information here.
