Questioning Safety

The Canadian media has reacted strongly to the Ultimate Bet cheating scandal, which has rocked the online casino poker gambling industry for the second time in less than a year. According to a press statement from the owners of Ultimate Bet, Tokwiro Enterprises, the cheating scandal has been thoroughly investigated, the loophole in the software has been permanently fixed, and appropriate action was taken against those involved in the cheating scandal. The Canadian media on the other hand are more hesitant to accept Tokwiro’s statement – this is the second time that one of Tokwiro’s online casinos was implicated in a massive cheating scandal. And on top of that, the Canadian media are now looking to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and wondering if the Commission has the appropriate regulations in place to properly monitor the numerous internet casinos licensed out of the jurisdiction.

The Canadian government may very well take this latest cheating scandal as an impetus for challenging the Mohawk tribe’s right to license and operate online casino gambling. Most in the media and international internet gambling industry agree that the Canadian government has been hesitant to address the illegality of licensing internet gambling companies for fear of a major altercation with the Mohawk tribe. But the time may have come for the Canadian government to intervene, according to many in the media.

Although legal representation for the Kahanwake Gaming Commission asserts that the Commission has some of the tightest regulations in the international online casino gambling industry, others doubt the veracity of those claims. The Absolute Poker and Ultimate cheating scandals have been the two largest systematic criminal cheating scandals in the history of online gambling, and both happened at through online casino licensed by the Commission.

There is no telling at this point where the situation will escalate from this point, but Bobby Mamudi, an online gambling industry analyst, was easily summed up the situation in for the National Post. He notes, "[The Commission] definitely does seem to be losing credibility and not doing too much about it." As the public and the Canadian government react to the announced resolution of the Ultimate Bet cheating scandal, the Commission may be forced to answer some weighty questions.
