New Headache at Sea
Cereus Poker has encountered some tough situations over the past several years
as this poker network faces yet another potential scandal – and at the same two
sites! The Cereus Poker Network is the new name that was given to the network
housing Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. Both of these online casino poker sites
were the center focus for the largest cheating scandal to ever occur in the
internet gambling industry. In the years since the scandal Tokwiro Enterprises,
the parent company has rebranded the network and attempted to recover a lot of
the lost credibility that ensued from the international attention these massive
cheating scandals garnered.
All of this is a moot point though because Cereus is back in the headlines again
because of a software flaw that was found and exposed by Poker Table Ratings, a
prominent player information portal in the market. Players frequently look to
the information portals for advice on online casinos to use and visit, a key
reason that Poker Table Ratings was so closely analyzing the software encryption
software used by Cereus. Just last week Poker Table Ratings announced this major
flaw on its blog and accompanied the post with a personal email to Tokwiro
giving them the full details of the flaw.
This exposure by Poker Table Ratings comes as such a surprise to the online
casino gamblers who were willing to give Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet the
benefit of the doubt once again. But then, this flaw, though through different
means would allow a hacker the same exact opponent hole-card advantage that was
abused so massively in the past cheating scandal at these two major
international poker sites. |
