Post Gives a Go

The online casino gambling industry is not being spared at all this month – the Sixty Minutes special on the internet poker cheating scandals aired just a couple of weeks ago. Now add to that the fact that the Washington Post jointly produced that episode of the program and you have a whole lot of media attention on an issue that the company involved, frankly, just wants to see disappear. The Post has written a couple of articles on issues related to the two major cheating scandals – a background piece on the owner of Tokwiro, and now the latest article is an in depth look at the security of the online casinos and internet gambling sites.

The scandal involving Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet rocked the industry hard because a cheating scandal of this size and magnitude (roughly $20 million) had never occurred before in the history of the industry. The situation involved the two internet poker sites but the effects of the media attention have included online casinos and, in fact, all forms of internet betting and gambling. The Post article is five pages and really looks at details of the situation and highlights some of the information presented in the Sixty Minutes program while also providing a fresh take on the exact nature of the online casino gambling industry as well as how the gamblers themselves have created a unique online environment.

The internet has become self-policing to a huge extent – censorship is nearly impossible so it is up to the online savvy generation to ensure that everything is legitimate. In this case, there is no telling how many online casino poker gamblers would have continued to be victimized if the internet poker community hadn’t uncovered the cheating scandal.
