SB PokerOK sent over 50 regulars for video verification
A mass wave of SOST checks by PokerOK has affected between 40 and 60 regulars.

The security team of the GGPoker (PokerOK) network has ramped up security checks (SOST) targeting mid- and high-stakes regulars. In cases of suspected RTA use or team play, accounts are frozen, and players are required to record a 2-3-hour session on camera from two angles with the task manager visible.

Over the past 48 hours, between 15 and 20 complaints from MTT players (ABI $50-$500) and cash tables (NL200-NL1000) have been posted on the GipsyTeam forum.

As of now, no known public regular has received a final permaban. All accounts are under temporary freeze status pending review of the video recordings, which takes between 14 and 30 days.

The main reasons for blocks following the checks are refusal to record, detection of prohibited software among the processes, or critical discrepancies in play compared to the historical hand database.
