On Sun., Nov. 30th the CBS network will air their investigation special “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This documentary was produced after a four-month study into the online Texas Hold’em business and in particular a scam concerning the online Texas Hold’em poker room Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em poker site was examined after several of the Texas Hold’em poker players on the page stated that some person was illegally winning a great amount of cash. Todd Witteles was a crucial witness in this inquiry, according to Witteles; he was losing incredible amounts of poker hands to the very same poker player. Witteles claimed that this man was raising against exceptionally good cards, most players would have thought he was basically giving out his money, but he was actually winning many poker hands.

Witteles was in the right with his suppositions, it was later discovered that someone who knew about the site was able to watch everyone´s poker hole cards. At first look, Absolute Poker claimed that nothing was wrong with the webpage or the Texas Hold’em competitor. After numerous players showed up with claims, the Texas Hold’em poker page examined deeper into the issue and uncovered the scam.

In Jan. of 2008, the KGC came across what the Texas Hold’em competitors and the poker page had assumed all along. The investigation proved that, there was a worker who had hacked the Texas Hold’em room’s protection and was playing poker illegally for more or less six weeks. The examination verified that the Texas Hold’em poker webpage had not profited from the unlawful behavior by any means, and was not involved.

These scams are further evidence that there should be more guidelines regarding online poker pages. The United States government needs to authorize and regulate the internet Texas Hold’em business to guard these honorable customers. These rules would also control the access to these webpages by kids, which tends to be another problem issue nowadays.
