Collusion has always been a problem in poker - both the physical or online version. And with more poker apps and sites being developed, it has become quite a big issue. That is why top sites such as dinastipoker frown against collusion and implement measures to help avoid it.

Collusion refers to two or more players teaming up covertly to increase one player's chances of winning. Colluding at a poker table can be time-consuming and challenging, so players who use this form of cheating usually do so at a poker table with higher limits.

An online player can deliberately share his hole cards and the way he wants to play his current hand with another player via Skype, telephone or other means. There is also implicit collusion, which is a milder form of collusion where players in a tournament can team up to force another player with a small stack to be eliminated if he goes all-in.

Ghosting is another issue in physical and online poker. It's when a player gives advice to another player while a poker tournament or game is ongoing. In live tournaments, ghosting is strictly prohibited. But in online tournaments, it can be a bit difficult to avoid this from happening.

Ghosting can happen in a poker game when two friends sit beside each other at the table. Online, ghosting often happens with the help of free tools such as Teamviewer and Skype. A player that is being coached has the advantage that he can talk with his "ghost" if he is in a difficult situation before making any decisions.

In online tournaments, ghosting is usually used in the late stages with high prize pools. Besides the second opinion that a player gets from his "ghost", there is really no further advantage that he has over other players. Ghosting is believed to be the most common form of cheating when you're playing online.
