BC Poker Anti-Fraud Policy
This policy describes the measures BC Poker applies to protect players and the platform from dishonest or fraudulent conduct. Any form of fraud is treated as a serious breach of the platform’s terms of use. BC Poker investigates all suspected fraud and applies consequences immediately upon confirmation, without any obligation to notify the account holder in advance. The policy applies to all registered users across all product types.
Definition of Fraudulent Activity on BC Poker
BC Poker defines the following actions as fraudulent activity:
- Multi-accounting – creating or operating more than one account per person, including registering additional accounts to claim welcome bonuses multiple times.
- Collusion – two or more players coordinating gameplay at the same table to gain an unfair advantage, including deliberate chip dumping to a confederate.
- Use of bots – software that plays on behalf of a human player without genuine human input.
- Real-time assistance (RTA) tools – programs that provide in-hand strategic guidance or access to solver outputs during active gameplay.
- Unauthorized access – any attempt to access another player’s account, exploit software vulnerabilities, or interfere with the platform’s payment infrastructure.
- Bonus abuse through coordinated or systematic exploitation of promotional terms across multiple accounts or devices.
BC Shield – BC Poker’s Anti-Cheat and Anti-Fraud System
BC Shield is a multi-layer security system that operates automatically on every table. It runs continuously in the background without requiring manual activation and applies to all game types and stake levels. The system combines several detection mechanisms:
- Behavioral AI – analyzes in-game decision timing, action patterns, and bet sizing relative to typical human play profiles.
- Device verification – checks device identifiers to detect emulators, virtual environments, and unauthorized device linkage.
- Liveness verification – facial recognition check when a player takes a seat to confirm real human presence at the account.
- HUD and data-mining restriction – blocks third-party software that reads live game data or records hand histories for external processing.
- Wormhole detection – prevents remote control connections to the playing device.
The system works in real time. Detection events are logged and may trigger automatic restrictions followed by manual review.
Bot and RTA Detection
BC Shield’s behavioral analysis component measures decision timing across hands and compares action sequences against known patterns. Indicators that raise automated flags include:
- Consistent decision speed that does not vary with hand complexity – a pattern consistent with automated play.
- Action sequences that align closely with known GTO solver outputs across a statistically significant sample of hands.
- Unusual consistency between sessions that exceeds normal human variance thresholds.
Real-time assistance tools are prohibited regardless of whether they make final decisions or only provide information. Any program that supplies in-hand data, range analysis, or decision suggestions during active gameplay is classified as an RTA tool under this policy. Accounts flagged for bot or RTA use are suspended pending manual hand history review.
Collusion Detection
Collusion is detected through analysis of player interaction patterns across sessions. BC Poker’s system reviews:
- frequency of specific player pairs appearing at the same tables across a time period;
- unexplained folding behavior against large bets from specific opponents;
- chip transfer patterns that do not correspond to normal game variance.
When collusion indicators are identified, the accounts involved are flagged for manual review of hand-level data. Winnings confirmed to have been obtained through collusion are forfeited. Both parties involved in a confirmed collusion case are subject to account closure.
Multi-Accounting and Bonus Abuse
BC Poker permits one account per individual. The platform uses device fingerprinting, IP address tracking, and payment method matching to identify accounts that are linked to the same person. When multiple accounts are linked to a single identity:
- all associated accounts are closed simultaneously;
- all balances, pending bonuses, and accrued rakeback across the linked accounts are forfeited;
- the user is banned from re-registering on the platform.
Bonus abuse is treated as a separate category of violation. Registering additional accounts to claim first-deposit bonuses, or coordinating bonus claims across related accounts, constitutes systematic abuse of promotional terms. Even where the gameplay itself is otherwise clean, bonus abuse results in the same consequences as other forms of multi-accounting.
Payment Fraud and Chargeback Policy
Depositing funds using stolen payment credentials, unauthorized cards, or crypto wallets belonging to a third party is classified as payment fraud and results in immediate account closure and reporting to the relevant authorities.
Chargebacks – reversing a transaction through a payment provider after funds have been used on the platform – are treated as fraudulent misuse. BC Poker reserves the right to:
- freeze the account and any associated accounts immediately upon receipt of a chargeback notification;
- pursue recovery of the reversed funds through available legal and technical channels;
- permanently ban the user from the platform following a confirmed chargeback.
Players who believe a transaction was processed incorrectly should contact BC Poker support directly before initiating any dispute through a payment provider.
Consequences of Fraudulent Activity
BC Poker applies the following consequences upon confirmation of fraudulent conduct:
- immediate account suspension with no prior warning;
- confiscation of the full account balance, bonus funds, and accrued rewards;
- permanent platform ban linked to the identified user’s device and payment profile;
- where the fraud involves criminal conduct – including payment fraud, money laundering, or unauthorized system access – BC Poker will share relevant information with law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
Investigations are conducted without notifying the account holder. Restrictions may be applied before an investigation is complete if the risk level warrants immediate action.
How to Report Suspected Fraud to BC Poker
Players who observe suspicious behavior at the table or believe they have been targeted by fraudulent activity should report it to the support team. To submit a report:
- Contact BC Poker via Live Chat (available 24/7) or email at support@bcpoker.com.
- Provide the username of the suspected account if known.
- Describe the specific behavior observed, including table name, approximate time, and nature of the incident.
- Include hand IDs if available – these can be found in the hand history section of the account.
All reports are treated as confidential. The identity of the reporting player is not disclosed during any investigation. BC Poker reviews all submitted reports and takes action where evidence supports it.
