Is it worth it to report a cheater in a live dealer game?

Yes, that should be reported. Live games are generally well protected against cheating. It’s a shame when someone ruins a perfectly good game or jackpot for everyone because they cheated. Top casinos have tons of security cameras and skilled operators to spot any funny business. If you suspect foul play, use the live chat button or raise your hand – they deal with these allegations all the time.

Most websites are on top of that. When they catch you, they’ll kick you off and close your account. In extreme cases, the website will even suspend play at your table for an investigation. I’ve also heard of some instances where players were busted with phone cameras in their glasses or attempting card palms; the casinos were equally responsive in reimbursing legitimate players.

Trust your instincts when you suspect that something is wrong. It might be just a game, but it’s also a job, and a good employer has an interest in maintaining its integrity. Be truthful about what you saw (but don’t draw conclusions); it’s not your responsibility to investigate or resolve.

Yes, I would report it. Online casinos are very serious about preventing cheating in live dealer games. They know that the only way to do this is by relying on their players to provide the information needed to take action against dealers who are trying to cheat at the casino’s expense. All casino platforms will have a “report dealer” button, and if there truly is something going on, such as using cheat chips, signaling with hands or cards, or some pattern in the dealing of cards, then the casino will launch an investigation. This may require the dealer to be suspended from working until the investigation is completed. I’ve known dealers to be banned from working at certain casinos because of actions like this.

So if you see a cheater at a live casino table, by all means report him. There are security cameras watching the dealers, and if they catch a cheat in the act, you can expect the perpetrator’s account to be banned, his winnings to be confiscated, and any affected players to be refunded. The casinos take integrity seriously; these are the kinds of things that they need to know about. The only time I have ever seen reports come back with a positive outcome was when the cheater lost his account and his winnings were reclaimed.

I’d definitely report the cheating. Live dealer sites are generally great about taking action and will review your recording and betting patterns. Cheaters can sometimes be banned from the site or their accounts deactivated, but it’s not often publicized. I have seen reports of dealers being suspended and there are other ways that sites handle cheating without it ever going public.

Yes, call out cheaters. Decks are tracked in live dealer games. If you spot signs of signaling, collusion, or other dirty tactics, tip off the Pit. Cheating is a big deal in casinos; it breeds mistrust among customers. I’ve witnessed dealers being brought in to investigate and eject cheaters. Best of all, it helps ensure fairness and an even playing field for legitimate players like yourself. Don’t hesitate to report them. It’s how we maintain integrity at live dealer tables.
