Galeon Poker Room SECURITY POLICY 
Our risk control department is on a sharp lookout for any kind of fraud.
Galeon Poker Room also considers collusion a type of fraud. Collusion is when two or more players are playing at the same card table, chatting via an outside (non-Galeon Poker Room) chatbox, talking on the phone, or even sitting in the same room, each one telling the other what cards he/she has. This kind of playing greatly increases the odds for that "team" while short-changing the rest of the players around the table. We're good at detecting collusion, so please play fair and have a good time!
The privacy of your financial and account information is of course top priority to us.
Abuse of our cardroom for money laundering purposes is totally uncool. We're on the lookout for that, too.If you have any questions, or if you suspect one or more players of breaking any of our rules, please contact our fraud control department.
Galeon Poker Room SECURITY RULES
Introduction
To enable Account Holder to play safely, Galeon Poker Room provides security on three levels:
- IT Security
- Legal Security
- Security in Financial Transactions
IT Security
Galeon Poker Room games comply with Maltese legislation and are certified in accordance with those standards. The necessary precautions are taken not to encourage users to play big amounts of money and high payouts to players.
The Galeon Poker Room system is tested and is subject to regular monitoring. The software is monitored 24 hours a day, according to the Laws of Malta on the licence.
Legal Security
We have to comply with all the legal restrictions envisaged to safeguard the Account Holder.
- the proper use of interactive games;
- gambler’s protection;
- the prevention of money laundering;
- public needs.
Financial Security
The Registration Form is crypted by a top security system. Username and Password are entered with an algorithm to ensure privacy. When the Account Holder inserts his data, their authenticity is checked and activation is authorised by the system. After registration the Account Holder receives an e-mail containing the registration details. Should there be coincidence of names, the Account Holder is sent an e-mail by the administration verifying the information entered. Even for money deposits and withdrawals the Account Holder’s data are codified by the system in the relevant “lobby” section (cashier).
Galeon Poker Room may request documents to verify identity and/or authorisation to use a specific Credit Card and/or other facts provided by the Account Holder, before expediting deposits and/or withdrawals; this may cause slight delays.
Maximum privacy is provided for all banking transactions between the Account Holder’s bank and the relevant banking institute.
Galeon Poker Room ensures that the Account Holder’s credit card number will never be communicated to any other parties except to the financial institutions dealing with transactions.
To maintain a high level of security and integrity in the system, the Company reserves the right to conduct a security review at any time to validate the customer’s identity, age, the registration data provided by the Account holder, to verify the Account Holder’s playing of the Games and the Account Holder’s financial transactions for potential breach of this Agreement and of applicable law. As such the Account Holder authorizes us and our agents to make any inquiries of the Account Holder and for us to use and disclose to any third party we consider necessary to validate the information the Account Holder provides to us or should provide to us in accordance with this Agreement, including but not limited to, ordering a credit report and/or otherwise verifying the information against third party databases. In addition, to facilitate these security reviews, the Account Holder agrees to provide such information or documentation as the Company, in its unfettered discretion, may request.
