Online Casino Poker Scandal Still a Concern

Annie Duke is not only a well known international poker professional, she is also affiliated with the UltimateBet online casino poker gambling site. Duke has been associated with UltimateBet for a while now and is actually firmly standing behind the company through what has to be one of the biggest scandals in the history of the internet gambling industry. UltimateBet and its sister site Absolute Poker were both involved in a cheating scandal that was uncovered first by poker players, and then later investigated by the Kahnwake Gaming Commission and Gaming Associates. Both companies were issued a fine at the resolution of the cheating scandals and also reimbursed affected online casino poker gamblers.

Duke has strongly supported Ultimate Bet since the cheating scandal broke in January, and though she admits that she had issue with the previous owners of the two poker sites, the new management is apparently more transparent and has given Duke a larger role in some of the company’s decision and planning. Tokwiro Enterprises now owns UltimateBet and Absolute Poker, and CEO Paul Leggett headed up the company’s investigation into the cheating scandal as well as damage control in the media and efforts to right the wrongs with some of the affected and disgruntled UltimateBet online poker players.

According to Poker News, Duke is completely on board with the company and plans to continue endorsing the online casino poker gambling site. Poker News also reported that Duke has confirmed that she was approached by the U.S. investigative television news program, 60 Minutes, which is planning to run a segment on the cheating scandals at both of Tokwiro’s internet poker sites. She gave no further specific information on what she told the news program nor any additional specific information regarding the details and investigation outcome in the UltimateBet cheating scandal.
