In Response To: 7% of American social gamers cheat online (Stick)

I agree that it's a different population. And, therefore, something of an apple-orange issue.

However, once you add in all of the people, eventually tens of thousands who will be USBGF members, are you really going to have that different a population?

Also, the 7% cheating rate is for when there's virtually nothing at stake. Even if ELO doesn't drive it higher than 7%, Master Points very well could.
