Every poker room you find online will have some basic rules in place, and while some rules can vary between sites, there are some general rules that you will find everywhere.

Poker.co.uk has a list of house rules that can be accessed onsite. These are rules which are in place to keep fairness and parity for all players concerned. One rule which is exclusive to online poker, is the problem of what to do in the event of a server malfunction which prevents players from playing the hand in progress. You may find different rules for different sites, but for Poker.co.uk, the hand will be considered void and after an investigation, all money will be returned within 24 hours. This may be quite an inconvenience, but these problems can occur, and this seems a fair way to deal with it. Other rules concerned with play itself include cheating.
If the staff onsite suspect a player or number of players, to be cheating, they will first consider the evidence carefully to make sure they are making the correct decision. If they still feel certain the player has cheated, they will confiscate funds from the poker player and distribute them to the players who were perceived to be the victims of their cheating. I feel that dealing wih cheating in this way is fair for all. Membership to the site may be taken away in the following cases of rule breaking, depending on the severity. Foul language firstly, also players must not discuss a hand, discarded cards, or convince a player to make a certain action whilst a hand is in play. All these rules seem very reasonable, are appear to be punished very fairly in my opinion.
