On Sun., Nov. 30th the CBS network will premiere their special investigation show “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This documentary was made after a four-month research into the online Texas Hold’em poker industry and in particular a cheating scandal involving the online poker site Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em poker page was examined after a few of the Texas Hold’em poker players on the site stated that some person was unjustly winning an incredible amount of poker chips. Todd Witteles was a major witness in this research, according to Witteles; he was losing incredible amounts of money to the exact same poker player. Witteles says that this gambler was raising against awfully good hands, most players would have guessed he was just giving out his money, but he was incredibly winning poker chips.

Witteles was correct about his assumptions, much later it was exposed that a person possibly working for the company was able to watch any player’s poker hole cards. At first glance, Absolute Poker proclaimed that nothing was wrong with the site or the Texas Hold’em competitor. After numerous players showed up with accusations, the Texas Hold’em website studied deeper into the cheating problem and uncovered the mystery.

By Jan. of this year, the KGC uncovered what the poker players and the poker webpage had assumed all the time. It was eventually shown that, there was a worker who had hacked the Texas Hold’em page’s security system and was competing dishonestly for roughly a month and a half. The examination established that the Texas Hold’em poker website had not gained from the dishonest actions in any way, and was in no way, shape or form engaged in the activities.

These illegal activities are further evidence that there needs to be more rules regarding online Texas hold’em websites. The U.S. government needs to license and legalize the online poker business to defend these honorable consumers. These guidelines would also police the entry to these sites by young children, which tends to be another concern recently.
