The number of individuals involved in fraudulent activities, especially in the field of gambling is increasing significantly. With the effects of poverty escalating among the middle class families, desperate individuals feel that the only recourse out of this dilemma is to indulge in fraudulent casino activities.

Most gamblers both online and offline tend to gamble through unfair means, simply because they feel that that is the only option through which they can battle the rough times they are facing in their deprived lives. One of the most frequent fraudulent activities, that fraudulent players tend to adopt in online casinos, is player collusion, and unaccepted player behavior like card handling.

The reason why players both seasoned and first timers, embrace the online Poker version with open arms, is because it allows them unlimited freedom to exchange vital information with each other. Through the use of instant messaging software and phone, players can readily reveal their hands to other players, without the knowledge of the online casino operator.

As a result of this, innocent online casino players are simply denied of their chance at the jackpot win. So the problem that is haunting most online and offline casinos today is how to come up with preventive measures that would help them identify fraudulent player behavior.

The answer lies in the installation of high tech cameras and state of the art monitors within the vicinity of physical poker rooms. Online Poker operators should seriously consider the use of automated data gathering techniques, to aid them in getting a detailed description of the players playing, and to give them an idea of the number of times the players have played with each other.

Land based casinos should be equipped with the latest integrated computer technology, so that the house has an edge over the player and not vice versa. Hidden cameras should be fitted under Poker and Blackjack table, to spy on fraudulent players who are using sign language, to give their gambling partners the winning edge.
