Hello pakhitheboss,
Thank you for the warm welcome and for sharing your valuable perspective.
We understand your concerns regarding Telegram-based platforms. The choice to use Telegram for Pineapple Poker was made with careful consideration, primarily focusing on accessibility, convenience, and fostering a strong community. Telegram's widespread usage and real-time interaction capabilities make it a unique platform for our poker community.
That said, we are very much aware of the importance of having a dedicated platform. Exciting news: we're on the verge of launching our own website in the next few days! This will provide an enhanced, secure, and comprehensive online poker experience, addressing concerns about reliability and expanding our reach.
We are deeply committed to the security and trust of our players. Ensuring fairness and transparency is at the forefront of our operations. We believe our Telegram platform, coupled with our upcoming website, will provide the best of both worlds – the community feel of Telegram and the professionalism of a self-hosted platform.
We respect the community's views on gambling products and aim to set a high standard for online poker experiences. We're grateful for your feedback and are excited to continue improving and growing.
Thank you again for your insight, and we hope to demonstrate our commitment to a reliable, enjoyable poker platform.
You'll have better luck getting players when you launch your own platform. Very hard to trust a game on telegram. What are your rules on collusion and cheating? This is another big thing that makes online hard to trust when it comes to poker.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns, which are indeed very valid in the world of online poker. We absolutely agree that trust and fair play are paramount.
Regarding our upcoming dedicated platform, we're excited about its launch, as it will enhance our ability to provide a secure and trustworthy environment for our players. Here's how we address the crucial issues of collusion and cheating:
1.Strict Anti-Collusion Policies: We have robust systems in place to monitor gameplay and detect any signs of collusion. Our algorithms are designed to flag suspicious activities, and our team conducts thorough investigations on any flagged games.
2.Fair Play Monitoring: Our platform continuously monitors gameplay to ensure a fair playing field. We use advanced software to track patterns that might indicate cheating and take immediate action if any foul play is detected.
3.Player Reporting System: We encourage our community to report any suspicious behavior. This adds an extra layer of oversight, where players themselves help maintain the integrity of the game.
4.Regular Audits: We conduct regular audits of our system and gameplay to ensure that our anti-cheating measures are always up-to-date and effective.
5.Clear Consequences: Players found engaging in cheating or collusion face strict penalties, including permanent bans from our platform. We believe in maintaining a clean and fair gaming environment for all our players.
We understand that trust is earned, and we are committed to proving our dedication to fairness and security with every game played on our platform. We hope you'll give Pineapple Poker a try and see for yourself the measures we've put in place to ensure a fair, fun, and trustworthy poker experience.
Good to hear, i'll check you guys out once you launch the web platform. Not really a fan of playing from telegram, not sure how secure it is. You might take some advice of others and buy a copper membership from the forum admins and make a nice announcement thread.
