Cheating in online chess is easy. You just throw the current position into stockfish (or some other software) and see what it would do. I don't know if it's common, but it certainly happens.
But you're right about bridge. The game design is utterly broken when you have people playing who care about winning more than they do the spirit of the game. There's no way to prevent cheating at all. Teams can always develop additional channels of information, even on top of the official public one, to exchange information covertly. There's just no way to prevent it.

- handrous 5y agoFrom the caught cheating scandals I've read about, and with how easy it would be to cheat in small ways at bridge, I'm like 90% sure that all or nearly all bridge partnerships [EDIT: in "serious", competitive bridge, I mean] are cheating in limited, sparingly-used, practically-impossible-to-catch ways. Money's on the line, after all.
