You only hear about the ones who got caught, right?

  In a casino, they only have to suspect cheating to ask you to leave. In a GM tournament I don't think the judges or sponsors could just say someone's playing better than usual and is therefore banned. There needs to be a little more evidence than a one-in-twenty win happening. Less likely things happen every day.

  Well casinos also have the much much much easier task of not having to keep gaming pure, but simply to keep it profitable. They don't have to prove you are cheating, because if you are taking in more money than you should be statistically, they can make you leave and ban you, no recourse. They only have to prove you cheated when they want to put you in prison for it and take their money back. That could possibly mean that the public info on casino cheating trends towards very advanced and profitable cheating instead of average cheating, but I am not a statistician.

    And with poker specifically, cheating doesn't really affect their profit directly: the casino rakes the pot regardless of who wins it.
