Absolute Joke
According to this posting on NeverWinPoker, someone or a group of people last month played some online poker at Absolute Poker and won [and won and won] a lot of money. It was only a matter of time before some insiders or hackers got around to finding a way to cheat at a game of chance. It will be interesting to see what the Kahnawake Gaming Commission's investigation turns up. If I had to guess, I would say some head's are going to roll and much money is going to be returned to players who lost to "POTRIPPER".This situation begs the question, can you really ever trust a online gaming company to play it straight? I mean would you play slots online and assume the house will payout per the proper odds? Or roulette and trust that a computer isn't just looking at all the bets and landing on open numbers or the least payout possible if all numbers are taken? Or how about blackjack where the dealer would always know your hand and could methodically give you cards you don't want and see to always get cards they need?
I'm not sure if house games will ever truly work online and after the Absolute Poker debacle, it maybe some time before poker is safe again.
