    Just curious if anyone knows what the policy is for cheaters on regulated sites? Here in Quebec, online poker is regulated; in a casino if you are caught cheating, it could mean jail time. Does anyone know if the same is applied to the different levels of online cheating (multi accounting, collusion etc.).

    I am not a cheater btw (should be quite obvious by looking at my results) just curious.

    In a US Congressional hearing late last year, Congressman Joe Barton hinted at possible jail time for repeat violators, but it does remain to be seen what the punishments will be:
