Jaime Staples sits down with PartyPoker’s Juha Pasanen | Cheating, AI, & More

“I was speaking with other serious Poker players, and we started seeing suspicious accounts at
the table. A lot of accounts, playing very similarly to each other. So, we start talking in this small
group of players, and we then gathered some information together to send to the three big
Poker sites at the time. We noticed those players were removed from the games and they were
banned for that reason [cheating]. “

Over two decades in the game later, Juha has taken his vigilantism into a full-time role with
partypoker, building his own team to monitor player manipulation and keep our Poker players
safe at the tables.
