This Sunday evening CBS will show their special program “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special investigation show was created after a 16-week examination into the online Texas Hold’em poker industry and specifically a deceitful scandal with the online Texas Hold’em room Absolute Poker.

This poker page was investigated after a few of the Texas Hold’em poker players on the site said that a poker player was unlawfully winning an incredible amount of cash. Todd Witteles was a significant witness in this study, according to him; he was losing great amounts of cash to the exact same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles declared that this man was raising against exceptionally good poker hands, most players would have believed he was simply handing over his money, but he was incredibly winning many poker hands.

Witteles was quite correct in his assumptions, following this it was discovered that someone possibly working for the company was able to spy on everyone´s poker hole cards. At first look, Absolute Poker proclaimed that there were no issues with the room or the Texas Hold’em poker player. After several players presented the site with claims, the Texas Hold’em poker webpage examined deeper into the problem and uncovered the mystery.

By January of 2008, the Kahnawake Gaming Commision unearthed what the Texas Hold’em competitors and the poker room had supposed all the time. It turned out that, there was a member of the staff who had broken through the poker site´s protection and was playing illegally for around six weeks. The study verified that the Texas Hold’em poker webpage had not profited from the unlawful actions at all, and was in no way, shape or form engaged in the activities.

These circumstances are further proof that there ought to be more control regarding online gambling pages. The United States government should authorize and regulate the internet poker business to shield these upright clients. These laws would also police the access to these webpages by kids, which is becoming another problem issue these days.

People love poker; I can play for an hour or two after work without leaving my room. Players from all over the world get to meet in the online poker rooms, and players are able to learn different styles of play associated with different nationalities. This is a very sad decision since it takes away some of the most valuable freedoms that American citizens used to count with, starting with your freedom to choose what to do with your time and money. The bill also seem a little ironic in a country in where anyone can join the army when you are 18 years old and go to foreign countries to do battle, but you can’t sit in front of a computer and play poker on the Internet. But there’s a small group of websites that have decided to stay and keep receiving U.S players, that’s the case of Absolute Poker, Full Tilt Poker, UltimateBet and Bodog Life to mention some. If you want more information about online poker sites you can visit WeDoItAllVegas.com and read more about online poker promotions, reviews, information news and more.

This has been the most notable turn off for online poker players, the affluence has been a decreasing since many online poker sites have taken the determination to leave the U.S market to avoid any legal situation that can compromise them, and most players that found their accounts frozen had to switch to another poker sites.

It’s also sad that the government doesn’t seem to understand that no one is in a hurry, playing poker online shouldn’t be consider as a vice, it’s a personal right and as long as you don’t get yourself in trouble it should be respected.  It’s been over a year since the U.S. government decided to regulate online gambling by implementing the UIGEA. This bill prohibits the transfer of money from an American bank to an Internet gambling site. The only exceptions are Fantasy Sports, horse racing, and online lotteries. The government passed this bill because they aren’t getting a piece of the action. A lot of money circulates in the online poker community, but it’s all tax-free. I don’t like the idea of government telling me what I can and can’t do with my money. I’m the one that worked for it and I’m the one paying taxes. However, you can still go around the legislation. You can wire money or use an offshore bank account, and sometime using your debit card works because the banks don’t have the resources to track all transactions. Unfortunately some of the major e-wallets such as NETeller and FirePay are not taking American customers anymore.
