1. RFA Procedure for Cash Games
In step 12 you are required to submit a request for action (RFA) once you have significant reason to believe
the players are cheating.
They include a summary, trap request, and RFA. Please include these items as a part of your investigation
notes.
This particular recommendation will include the following:
1. A brief point form summary outlining the evidence you have found that flags the players as
potential cheaters. Here’s an example that I have taken from one of Brad’s cases:
• Players lives in the same city and even the same street.
• Many player-to-player transfers between players.
• Have played in may games together within a short duration of 1 week.
• Player Matusow JR may well have multiple accounts, which will be dealt with as a
separate issue.
• Chat during between two players once 4 handed could be considered collusion against
MikeVick7r.
• Players have shared the same Neteller processor account numbers.
2. A Trap Request: Please include any serial numbers from your serial relationship excel sheet that
you would like me to trap.
3. A recommendation for action for the disbursement of any funds from the cheaters to victimized
players using a matrix. Here’s an example:
RFA for Tournament #123456
HAND PLAYER FUNDS FUNDS
NUMBER NAME LOSS GAINED
11 RobertaRenna -$100
11 Lawrence Ng +100
12 ChrisDanek -$50
12 MoZhang +$50
13 TomGreen -$200
13 Rebecca Yu +$200
You will notice one thing here.
• Whenever you do an RFA for a cash game the funds loss must always equal the funds gained.
You will remove the entire pot won from the cheating player and award it to victim player. The
balance must be zero.
