Sunday night the CBS network will present their documentary “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special program was filmed after a 16-week examination into the online Texas Hold’em poker business and in particular a cheating scandal concerning the online poker page Absolute Poker.

This poker webpage was studied after a number of the poker players on the webpage stated that a poker player was dishonestly winning a great amount of poker chips. Todd Witteles was a crucial player in this study, according to him; he was losing great amounts of poker chips to the very same poker player. Witteles alleges that this player was raising against exceptionally good hands, the majority of people would have presumed he was simply giving his money to the other players, but he was unbelievably winning money.

Witteles was quite correct in his assumptions, later on it was exposed that a player with knowledge of the site was able to watch any poker player’s hole cards. At first glance, Absolute Poker proclaimed that there were no faults with the webpage or the Texas Hold’em competitor. After many more players stepped up with charges of fraud, the poker page investigated deeper into the cheating problem and discovered wrongdoing.

By Jan. of 2008, the Kahnawake Gaming Commision came across what the Texas Hold’em poker competitors and the Texas Hold’em poker webpage had assumed all the time. The result of the investigation was that, there was a worker who had hacked the Texas Hold’em poker webpage’s protection and was playing illegally for approximately a month and a half. The examination verified that the poker site had not gained from the unlawful behavior at all, and was in no way implicated.

These illegal activities are further confirmation that there needs to be more rules regarding online Texas hold’em sites. The U.S. government should license and legalize the online Texas Hold’em industry to shield these decent clients. These control measures would also police the access to these websites by young children, which is becoming another concern recently.
