This Sunday, November 30th the CBS network will premiere their investigation special “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special investigation show was filmed after a 4 month examination into the online Texas Hold’em poker industry and in particular a con concerning the online Texas Hold’em site Absolute Poker.

This Texas Hold’em poker page was probed after some of the Texas Hold’em poker players on the site stated that a player was illegally winning an incredible amount of money. Todd Witteles was a major witness in this study, according to him; he was losing huge amounts of cash to the very same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles says that this man was raising against awfully good poker hands, anyone would have believed he was simply handing over his money, but he was in fact winning poker chips.

Witteles was correct about his statements, later on it was discovered that a player who knew about the site was able to see any poker player’s hole cards. At first look, Absolute Poker stated that there were no issues with the page or the poker competitor. After numerous players came forward with accusations, the poker website investigated further into the situation and made the discovery.

In January of 2008, the KGC exposed what the Texas Hold’em players and the Texas Hold’em page had assumed all the time. The investigation proved that, there was an employee who had invaded the Texas Hold’em page’s security system and was competing dishonestly for approximately six weeks. The investigation proved that the Texas Hold’em room had not profited from the illicit behavior in any way, and was definitely not implicated.

These issues are further confirmation that there must be more control in regards to online poker pages. The US government needs to license and control the online gambling business to shield these upright consumers. These laws would also police the admission to these websites by children, which tends to be another issue nowadays.
