KGC Announces Gaming Associates Report

The Kahnawake Gaming Commission has announced its decision concerning the Absolute Poker online casinos scandal. Last year Absolute Poker was involved in one of the largest internet poker cheats in the history of the industry, and since then the company has waited on a judgment from the Gaming Commission concerning the cheating allegations. The Commission though was not quick to rule on the case because so much of the cheating scandal needed to be investigated by an impartial third party – in this case the Gaming Commission hired Gaming Associates to investigate the online casinos poker company and once finished present the Commission with a comprehensive report covering the cheat.

As previously reported, Gaming Associates finished their report earlier this year and submitted the comprehensive analysis of the online casinos cheating scandal to the Commission for review and a decision on penalties and future action. The Commission took the time to review the report and make a judgment on the fines that the company must pay, in addition to programs and policies that must be in place at the online casinos poker site.

Specifically, the online casinos site was fined for US $500,000 and must pay that fine within 60 days. In addition to the fine, the company is financially responsible for the cost of the investigation into the cheating scandal by Gaming Associates. And that’s not where the penalties stop. The Commission ruled that Absolute Poker should have more precautionary measures in place, such as the Continuance Compliance program. In addition, Absolute is financially responsible for placing a set amount of money (not disclosed) in a fund that will allow the Commission to randomly audit Absolute over the next two years.
