Lack of Online 'Rights'

[Falconni]

I was playing in the Daily Virgin Freeroll and there was only 3 live players (7 Sit Outs) and a character called gayboy77 suggested we cheat by raising the pots so that the Sit Outs would lose, very quickly, all the blinds. As unethical as this sounds I wondered if it was a common occurrence?:nana When I got my hand I was looking at A-A and that confirmed to me that I wouldn't be partaking of the guys suggested, if I can call it that, cheat. :unsure I was then subjected to a torrent of foul and abusive language. Which culminated in a death threat! :loon When I contacted Virgin to ask for his removal from the tourny they point blank refused to do so. If I was in a 'real' casino do you think that my request would have been refused? I think not. In fact there would have been a real case to get the guy banned.:wall Why is it that online gambling sites do not offer us the same rights as a 'real' casino would? They seem eager enough to take our money (I wont mention the exchange rates lol) but in exchange do not offer us the rights that we are all entitled to. I have written to ask the Gambling Commission, and the Remote Gambling Association for their views on the subject and will post here if, and when they reply.:hope

Re: Lack of Online 'Rights' Simply, the online world is completely different to the real one. Many people daily, all across the world type potentially libelous material on forums, blogs and in poker chat, everywhere, it's just part and parcel of the online world, but a death threat is till OTT and it's up to the individual how they take it, me personally would have said 'lol' and forget about it, but each to their own.
