This sounds like collusion could give unscrupulous parties an advantage (though I'm not familiar with the game). I guess provided it's not for monetary benefit it could be fun, but if it's exploitable and does give monetary reward then I would object to that specific implementation of it.

In Casino Mode the game would cost all those involved with no bonus money made. Those who lost dont get there money back, and the winner gains that money. In Party mode it has no monetary gain or loss.

If the winner's prize is greater than the sum cost incurred by colluders, and through collusion the chance of success is increased, then there is strong motive for collusion. To me it sounds like collusion may be beneficial in order to feed pairs to one colluder, win the game, and then divvy up the prize.

That makes sense, but the opponents not involved in the colludes still have a chance of winning.  This allows there to be a risk. Also we can simply have a set amount that you bet, or a cap.

I guess it depends to what degree odds can be improved with collusion. However, if it's 4 colluders playing against 1 other (victim), I would imagine the odds of success are extremely high. Then the question is what kind of money are players betting? If it's low and insignificant enough, players may not bother colluding, but then too it removes interest that a monetary prize may entice. And the higher the prize, the more worthwhile collusion could be.

Perhaps a solution would be to limit the prize payout to double the cost of participation -? It would eliminate any possible monetary gain from colluding with other players.

That could defiantly work

Why not give the ability to invite certain nations to play? That way, only you and your friends can play in a certain group, etc. Ez fix. 

Not sure if someone already suggested it, I just skimmed the thread lol

Why waste my development time for something that you can already play? Here you go: https://cardgames.io/gofish/

You can set up your own side-hustle IG by offering an escrow service for players that want to bet against each other. You're welcome.
