From what I’ve seen posted here the accused accounts have lost money intentionally to random opponents, not chip dumping. Although something suspicious is going on, losing money on purpose probably does not violate a site’s terms and conditions.

I hope you agree. The use of the term is inflammatory and detracts from the original accusation of hole card cheating.

I would say chip dumping means offloading chips. The player has intentionally misplayed the hands for whatever reason. The reason makes no real difference. Chips were being dumped. Yes, it is against the terms & conditions. Yes, it appears fraudulent. Maybe it was dumped to random players, maybe it wasnt. Maybe the security team have left town. Maybe they are out in full force responding to forum comments,

The use of the term was accurate & instead of detracting from the hole card argument, it actually adds flame to the fire.
