Finalized and Moving On
The global online casino gambling industry can move forward this month past the
cheating scandals that rocked the whole of the industry just two years ago.
Ultimate Bet, along with Absolute Poker, were involved in the Watergate of the
gambling industry. These two internet poker gambling sites were involved in a
large-scale cheating scandal, Ultimate Bet in particular was the company chosen
for a multi-year and multi-million dollar cheating scandal that took money from
the online player’s pockets and systematically funnelled it into the cheaters.
The cheating scandal made international headlines for a long time as the
investigations were underway and the full scope of the online casino poker
cheating was revealed. Another factor that put this whole situation in the
spotlight was the Kahnawake Gaming Commission’s chosen method of handling the
investigation – there was not a whole lot of information being released to the
gambling public about new discoveries or even about what precisely happened to
allow such a huge cheating scandal at the online casino poker site.
In the intervening two years the Kahnawake Gaming Commission has stepped up the
game just a bit and has steadily released more details about the cheating
scandals and also released some of the more general details about the punishment
and fines placed on Ultimate Bet by the Commission. Now though the whole of this
cheating scandal can move into the past for the online casinos involved as the
Commission has closed the case and announced that all of the fines and penalties
related to the scandal are now paid. This means that Ultimate Bet can firmly
move forward. |
