Anti-Collusion

There is very little that cheaters can do on line.
No one can mark the cards, no one can peek at your hole cards, and no one can stack the deck or put a cold deck on the table.
Playing poker online is exceptionally safe. Cheating that can and does occur in land casinos and card rooms cannot happen online.
However, there is one thing that happens in land casinos that some cheaters do try to get away with on line: they try to collude, that is, share information and play their hands in order to help each other win. This is also known as "playing partners".
Colluding is certainly not tolerated at 24poker.
In order to thwart any and all attempts at collusion among players, 24poker and Microgaming, with its years of experience in fraud detection and prevention, has developed Collusion Detection Software (patented) that, among other applications, tracks all play and all players in real time.
Every hand played at Prima Poker is automatically and instantly analyzed. The software watches for and recognizes in real time any and all plays used by colluding players and, whenever any suspicious plays are detected, the players' hand histories are brought up for examination by our experienced, expert staff.
Colluders will have their accounts frozen and be banned from Prima Poker and all its affiliated sites worldwide.

Safety of Electronic Transactions

24poker uses 128-bit SSL certificate based encryption* to protect the details of your electronic transactions over the Internet. This is the Internet security standard for online transactions as demanded by major financial institutions.

About SSL certificates

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer.
This is a method for hiding the information a web browser and a web server send to each other. When you browse a web site, you have very little privacy.
Many people can monitor what you reveal to, or request from, that site.
Credit card numbers, personal data, or controversial information are an open book to the technologically sophisticated eavesdropper.
SSL was designed to defeat the snoops. An SSL-enhanced browser such as Netscape uses encryption to scramble the data you send to a web site into an unintelligible string of seemingly random characters.
A typical transaction is a browser sending the contents of an HTML form to the server. Let's say the form has a field named "cc" to hold the credit card number and we'll look at the difference between unsecure and secure transactions:

Unsecure transaction

The browser knows it's using a normal, unsecure connection. It sends "cc=2783-2734-8372-8737" to the server. The server receives "cc=2783-2734-8372-8737" and gives it to the script that handles this form.

Secure (SSL) Transaction

The browser knows it is using a secure connection for this form.
It takes "cc=2783-2734-8372-8737" and turns it into "e$$%0lj*&*(#foij" and sends it to the server. The server receives "e$$%0lj*&*(#foij" and converts it back into "cc=2783-2734-8372-8737" and hands it to the script that handles this form.
The important thing to notice here is that the user and the script never see the encrypted form of the credit card number.
You can use the same script and the same HTML form for both secure and unsecure transaction. You may be wondering how the browser knows how to encrypt the data.
SSL uses a scheme (actually, a patented algorithm) involving "public" and "private" digital keys. The server gives the browser its public key, which the browser uses to encrypt all transmissions. The interesting thing about this process is that although the public key is used to encrypt the ransmission, it cannot be used to decrypt it.
Only the private key will work (trust us, it really works!).
The server uses the private key (which is never sent to anyone) to decrypt the transmissions. Likewise, the browser creates its own public/private key pair for stuff going in the other direction.
So, even if someone intercepts the transmission, they cannot make any sense of it, even if they have the public key!
