This Sunday evening the CBS network will show their special investigation show “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special investigation show was made after a 16-week inquiry into the online Texas Hold’em poker business and particularly a con with the online poker site Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em page was inspected after a few of the Texas Hold’em players on the webpage stated that a poker player was illegally winning an incredible amount of poker chips. Todd Witteles was a major player in this study, according to Witteles; he was losing great amounts of poker chips to the exact same poker player. Witteles claimed that this man was raising against very good cards, most people would have presumed he was basically handing over his money, but he was actually winning quite often.

Witteles was in the right with his suppositions, later on it was shown that someone on the inside was able to watch any player’s poker hole cards. At first look, Absolute Poker proclaimed that there were no problems with the website or the Texas Hold’em player. After many more players showed up with allegations, the Texas Hold’em site examined deeper into the situation and uncovered the scam.

Around January of 2008, the gaming commission discovered what the poker players and the Texas Hold’em poker room had supposed all the time. The result of the investigation was that, there was a staff member who had invaded the Texas Hold’em poker webpage’s protection and was competing illegitimately for more or less six weeks. The research verified that the Texas Hold’em webpage had not benefited from the unlawful behavior in any way, and was not implicated.

These scams are further evidence that there must be more guidelines regarding Texas Hold’em poker websites. The U.S. government should authorize and regulate the internet Texas Hold’em poker business to protect these honest clients. These guidelines would also control the entry to these sites by young children, which is becoming another issue nowadays.
