PokerStars is great that way, if you've involved in a tournament with colluders and PS catches them, even if you were unaware and lost the tourney, you could earn a big profit! They take all the money you had in your account, and distribute it to the players you were playing against. I got $50 once!

Pokerstars isn't in the business of playing poker, they have everything to lose and absolutely nothing to gain by cheating. Even in a $500,000 hand, they stand to gain $3, which they made before the cards were dealt.

To add to that, I generally throw in $100-200 and play a mix of cash games, sng's, omaha, etc. Most times I run this money up to about a thousand bucks on a steady run, then lose it all. Over and over. This last time I just cashed out I think $1200 and said fuck it, I'm gonna win this time!
Please don't trot that tired shit out. Absolute has already been caught redhanded, and FT was prettily convincingly caught padding middle hands. They stand to gain by maxing the rake, and keep bad players churning money through the system. Saying 'they have nothing to gain' really just shows that you ape whatever some shill tells you instead of actually thinking about something for yourself, as a webmaster it should be pretty damn simple for you to think of about a million ways they can profit by gaming the system.
