And there is the debt collector option which takes any points they have and gives it directly to the loaner, and there is insurance. But, often the loanee stocks up on tickets, and has them well in advance of being defaulted. Its kind of a double edged sword, yeah stricter rules would be nice, but if they were banned from the games, the # of players goes down, and so does the prize pool.
Also defaulted members are left out of the WSOPO, so thats one tourney they cannot play in.
