Two players working together is hard to prove and unfortunately BGA will just tell you to give them red thumbs (so you don’t play them again) and move on.

However, if they get disconnected at the same time, it may be one person on two accounts. That is reportable, by going to one of the players’ profile pages and looking for the “Report this player” button. But I would still red thumb them.

It doesn't matter if you report them or not. Nothing happens & BGA gives you zero feedback. I wouldn't waste my time.

Back when I played games with more than 2 players on here, I used the "Player uses multiple accounts to boost elo" and got several accounts hit for it. I posted evidence of the accounts working together, noting the winning account's absurd win rate while paired with the losing account, pointing out pays the losing account made that made no sense except to help the winning account, and times the losing account quit a game to stop the winning account from losing.

In general, treat the moderating staff like a jury rather than like the police. They don’t have time to investigate every single accusation that gets made, especially since most of them are probably spurious (players mad at losing make wild accusations, players don’t understand the rules, players don’t understand luck or random numbers…)

But if you treat them like a jury—collect the evidence and present it to them in a way that conclusively shows it, and doesn’t assume they know the game rules (because they can’t know lol the rules to 1200 games), then you are much more likely to get somewhere.
