On Sun., Nov. 30th CBS will present their special “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This investigation special was produced after a 16-week study into the online Texas Hold’em poker industry and exclusively a scam concerning the online poker site Absolute Poker.
This Texas Hold’em poker room was investigated after a number of the Texas Hold’em players on the website claimed that some person was unduly winning an incredible amount of poker hands. Todd Witteles was a crucial player in this inquiry, according to Witteles; he was losing incredible amounts of poker chips to the exact same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles claimed that this gambler was raising against incredibly good poker hands, anyone would have assumed he was basically giving his money away, but he was in fact earning a great deal of cash.
Witteles was in the right with his assumptions, further down the line it was exposed that a person who knew about the site was able to see any player’s hole cards. With the first look, Absolute Poker proclaimed that there were no issues with the webpage or the Texas Hold’em poker competitor. After many more players showed up with claims, the poker webpage examined deeper into the problem and found the problem.
By January of this year, the Kahnawake Gaming Commision discovered what the Texas Hold’em competitors and the Texas Hold’em poker website had supposed all the time. The investigation proved that, there was an employee who had broken through the poker page’s protection and was playing dishonestly for close to a month and a half. The inquiry verified that the Texas Hold’em room had not gained from the dishonest actions by any means, and was definitely not involved.
These illegal activities are further proof that there ought to be more regulation regarding gambling sites. The US government ought to authorize and regulate the internet poker industry to protect these honest consumers. These rules would also regulate the admission to these websites by children, which is turning into another fear nowadays.
