CoinPoker share details on how they deal with RTA
The team at CoinPoker have sent out a clear signal that cheaters will be dealt with, both at the tables and on social media.
It's rare to see sites or ambassadors give much detail into poker room security, for the obvious reason that it may alert cheaters to their detection methods.
CoinPoker, however, have been surprisingly forthright in recent months about how they handle cheaters at the table. Last month they announced a series of bans for using seating scripts, and in May, they revealed their software won't open when GTO Wizard is active on a computer.
This week, one of their lead ambassadors, Mario Mosböck, shared details about an RTA case. It was after a player took to Reddit to claim they had been unfairly banned.
Internal reports revealed
He gave details from an internal security report that used the GTO Wizard Fair Play Check to match up with the banned player's actions. This, Mosböck said, was just the tip of the iceberg, and that the security team had more methods for detecting the cheating which cannot be revealed.
2)🧵Player "LazyAss" posted on reddit a lenghty explaination about how Coinpoker incorrectly froze 10,000$ in his account and it gained tracktion.
Here is the truth:
He cheated by using @gtowizard during hands. Attached is the proof from a @CoinPoker_OFF internal security… pic.twitter.com/ErzUAWmIEu— Mario Mosböck (@mariomosboeck) November 6, 2025
4) 🧵Hand 3: Same the next day - keep in mind that this proof is just the tip of the iceberg, that I pushed the Coin team to release.
How they got there and how our dedection tools work at scale, cant be shared.The policy is to not disclose anything regarding security. pic.twitter.com/R4dCcpR6DN

6) 🧵Also, thank you to @GTOWizard for providing the tools & proof to dedect cheating.
For the community its essential that the most powerful solvers work together with the sites to protect the players.

CoinPoker then took to X to confirm that the balance that was confiscated was credited back to the players who shared a table with the accused cheat:
For full transparency, the confiscated balance has been credited to the 59 affected players, based on hands played & amounts lost.
Thank you for your trust. https://t.co/RLGzFuIsjO

The above is, arguably, the most forthcoming an operator has been about their internal security processes. As somebody who has written about this for years, I am not sure I have ever seen an operator share internal security reports, and it is rare that an operator calls out a specific alleged cheater.
Whether being so transparent is good from a game theory perspective remains to be seen, but one would assume that an operator going public with these cases will be off-putting to would-be cheaters.
