On Sun., Nov. 30th the CBS network will show their documentary “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special was filmed after a four-month investigation into the online poker business and specifically a cheating scandal in relation to the online Texas Hold’em poker webpage Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em poker website was inspected after a few of the poker players on the website alleged that someone was dishonestly winning a great amount of poker chips. Todd Witteles was a key witness in this research, according to him; he was losing large amounts of poker hands to the exact same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles declared that this poker player was raising against extremely good poker hands, the majority of people would have thought he was just giving his money away, but he was in reality winning quite often.

Witteles was pretty accurate with his theories, later on it was uncovered that someone on the inside was able to see anyone’s hole cards. At first glance, Absolute Poker stated that there were no problems with the website or the Texas Hold’em poker player. After numerous players presented the site with allegations, the Texas Hold’em poker website investigated further into the problem and discovered wrongdoing.

Around Jan. of this year, the Kahnawake Gaming Commision unearthed what the Texas Hold’em players and the Texas Hold’em page had supposed all along. The result of the investigation was that, there was a staff member who had invaded the Texas Hold’em page’s security and was competing dishonestly for approximately a month and a half. The investigation verified that the Texas Hold’em website had not gained from the dishonest transactions in any way, and was not engaged in the activities.

These circumstances are further testimony that there ought to be more regulation regarding gambling pages. The United States government needs to authorize and regulate the online Texas Hold’em poker business to look after these honest customers. These laws would also control the admission to these pages by kids, which is becoming another problem issue lately.
