The Cheaters of Online Gambling

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Ever feel like something was taken from you? Well several of the online gamblers playing in two particular poker rooms did. Due to the deregulation and politics surrounding online gambling in the US two players at Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker were cheated to the tune of 20 Million dollars.

Airing on 60 minutes will be the true story trying to get to the bottom of this online scandal. It is known that the online gaming software had been illegally adjusted such that certain players within a poker hand were able to view all the hands that the other players were dealt while still have the access to remain in the game and take part in the rest of the hand giving them the direct opportunity to forecast their next move and ultimately win almost every hand.

While players often felt that the system was flawed it was difficult to find the origin of the problem and the online gambling websites continued to operate as normal. While some keener players continued to track results and deemed it almost impossible for those winning players to win simply as often as they did.

One player who happened to be a computer security specialist and watched and monitered the hands played said “…they were winning at about 15 standard deviations above the mean…approximately equivalent to winning a one-in-a-million jackpot six consecutive times.”

Both online casinos and their licensing partners were shocked at the scandal and released appeals saying that all the previous problems with the software had been fixed and the people that did this were old employees that had been fired as soon as the situation was clear.

Online Casinos have picked up on the hot trend for youngsters and business professionals alike and have created top of the line software capable of bringing all the action of an online casino directly to your handheld device.

Ratings proclaim that Blackberry seems to be the most likely and useful choice for those seeking the PDA for mostly business purposes, while the iPhone remains most popular for those that are into leading egde technology and are young- or at least young at heart.

And just in time for the holidays, as if the competition wasn’t steep enough RIM has launched a new Blackberry that is very similar to the iPhone replicating the touch capabilities while still maintaining its professional image.

As for online casinos, while games are being created to adapt to the all handheld platforms the two PDAs mentioned above are at the top for most trying to catch a piece of this promising market.

Online Casinos Happy That President Elect Obama Will Repeal Last Minute Laws

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

It seems that the new president will bring happy news to the online gambling community as the word is that President Elect Obama and his team are preparing to change and challenge some of the rules and regulations put in place against online gambling by the previous Bush team. The industry is breathing a sigh of relief as this seems to be a promising future with proper legislation that will allow US players back into the online gaming community.

It appears that while this is definitely a topic that will be addressed by the administration it will take time before new laws are passed as it’s not a priority issue for the government at this time.

There are still concerns as to the proper approach to take when it comes to online gambling and where and what the regulations should be. Players in the US will be happy to learn that this topic will actually be revisited in the least and addressed appropriately rather than just being banned without caused and buried under the legal jargon.

Obama seems to be ready for a change in the current rules but has not yet come forth with a statement in this regard.
Online gambling has been a controversial issue all around the world as it seems to have many gray areas especially with regard to tax collection and where income should be collected if it originates on the web.
