The poker industry is estimated at over $ 60000000000, with a turnover of over 300 million dollars a month. All these numbers seem correct? Well, maybe this is why so many poker sites have created and fraud scandals that rocked online poker community captured. The best known of the scandal at Absolute Poker and a similar incident, with its sister site, UltimateBet.
If you're not on the scandal at Absolute Poker, which met on September 12 20 007Then take a look at starting hands and the last leaf of a big tournament on Absolute Poker $ 1000 looking for "Potripper" on YouTube. Of course, this presumption by "Crazy Mark", who then scored the hand of history on the 2 +2 forums and contacted the AP to keep receiving aroused complete hand history of the tournament. It was noted that a "super user" account for a player who is able to see all the hands of his opponent was leaked. Of course, greed got the better of him and ended his outright fraudup, he discovered. The villain in this story, "Potripper" has made $ 800 000 from his pocket the cash tables and tournaments. Here is a statement of Absolute Poker is produced shortly after the incident. A few days before the tournament, a private jet caught fire before leaving Costa Rica The two were on Absolute Poker's President Scott Tom and his pregnant wife, who was hospitalized. It was said that the plane had a load of $ 2 - $ 3 million in cash.
Thank you for your patiencethis urgent problem.
Let me start by saying 100% certainty, that the fair play and safety is of utmost importance for Absolute Poker. We have temporarily accounts that have been brought to our attention while we freeze to conduct a full investigation.
As we continue with our investigation, we have found no evidence of wrongdoing. Our game client only receives data from some people and not other players cards, except in the case of aShowdown.
The players and their respective actions in this case, which all come from a small sample of hands. We have researched exhaustively and have found their game have no evidence that they were unaware of hole cards of other players.
They were the hands that were played bad - from a poker strategy perspective - and these players have to get a happy outcome.
Up to now we have no evidence that supports one of the players were involved in chip dumping busy orother illegal activities.
Because of the seriousness of these allegations have not completed the survey and continue to watch very carefully the question. We will inform you if you receive any new information relating to such statements.
Absolute Poker and it took more than a month to the discovery of this scandal, admitting publicly that there was a security breach.
What distinguishes a scandal to be extremely harmful to a place of integrity, is how it is managed. Asmay consist of a letter from an executive of Absolute Poker to see written, might not the severity of the situation and outright fraud, to recognize what had happened. On the contrary, PokerStars and Party Poker scandal that involved a player named JJProdigy. JJProdidy used, AKA "ABlackCar" two accounts (strictly against the TOS of all poker sites) for a $ 500,000 guaranteed tournament on PartyPoker for a $ 140,000 grand prize win. After the victory, he broke it, had two accounts, and usedwas soon banned. PokerStars as soon as the news of this and found that not only use two accounts JJProdigy on their side, but it was even 16 years. Again the player was immediately banned and the scandal ended with a prize money will be returned, and no one was left out of pocket.
JJProdigy came with a public apology last year for poker news and given that both parties have confirmed their reputation among the poker community.
Scandals poker are now to what seems to be aannual event. It 'really worth playing these pages, if there is a chance that you could lose thousands of dollars for a player that the system has been breached? Sites like Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet have now lost all integrity and honor, not only for the same scandal, but because of the fact that the problem was poorly treated and covered.
