If you haven't watched all these then you haven't fully done the research and making uneducated assumptions.

Just to let people being aware of potential common fraud in online poker.1. Collussion - When two or more people colluding in a table 2. Botting - just as the name imply, its an automated perfected poker bot that makes call when the odds support (unlike human, it never made a mathematical error thus likely to gain unfair advantage over the long run)Trust me, these two problems are much more less obvious than this one - but is much more LARGER in scale. Hundreds if not thousands people trying out this method to rip off your money. I play online poker in low small stakes which is for fun anyway (who want to spend 5 hours on the road just to play 1-2 bucks game?)...however, I always stay out of bigger stakes game and would recommend people to do so

Alleged fraud in an online poker giant appears to be symptomatic of its shady business pattern: As a multi-billion-dollar online gambling industry is anxiously anticipating a fall-out from the allegations that AbsolutePoker.com rigged the game, new facts emerge which suggest that this online giant is involved in other shady business practices. According to the case filed in an Arlington County Circuit Court by Publicity Guaranteed, Inc. AbsolutePoker has been delinquent in paying for PR services for over a year and owe the company over fifty thousand dollars.Publicity Guaranteed, an innovative publicity agency which only bills its clients for verifiable results, successfully generated extensive media coverage for the tuitions set up by AbsolutePoker. “At some point in time AbsolutePoker stopped paying for the services they requested and started to ignore our messages and calls. We were forced to seek help from courts.” said Nat Kurok, SVP of Publicity Guaranteed, Inc. Publicity Guaranteed, Inc., an established progressive public relations firm became another victim in the shady business tactics of the online gaming giant AbsolutePoker.Com. As the case study posted on www.PublicityGuaranteed.com reveals, Publicity Guaranteed, Inc. successfully placed an AbsolutePoker.Com tuition story to more than 40 newspapers with a combined circulation of more than 7,000,000 copies. The media coverage included articles in the New York Times and USA Today.According to sources the online poker industry hums to the tune of 9-12 billion dollars. With profits souring through the roof, why would AbsolutePoker.Com defraud its users? A 21 year old poker player from Las Vegas Nevada became suspicious of the final table cards after placing second in an online high stakes tournament on AbsolutePoker.Com. Apparently the person who took first was later found as a suspected decoy player on the lucrative website. AbsolutePoker.Com observer number 363 was allegedly able to view all hole cards played by players, therefore controlling the games and relaying the opponents hole cards to the tournament winner named ’Potripper’ who’s IP address turned up to be linked to AbsolutePoker.Com. It seems that IP addresses from the winning player and observer number 363 in the suspect tournament were traced back to the AbsolutePoker.Com former co-owner Scott Tom, as well as a former director of operations at AbsolutePoker named AJ Ripper or AJ Green (different sources have reported different names for this individual). The funniest part of this operation is that the former Grand Chief of the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake is the owner of Tokwiro Enterprises ENRG, which holds a 100% interest in AbsolutePoker. AbsolutePoker.Com is based on Mohawk Indian Territory in the surrounding area of Montreal Canada. Sources have also reported of an AbsolutePoker.Com headquarters in Costa Rica as well. There has been investigations launched by several authorities, but off shore gaming is an industry that has mastered the art of legal loop holes.

I have been trying to withdraw my funds from Absolute Poker since October (when this story hit) and they will not cash out my funds. And I lost money.. I can imagine how difficult it is to cash out if you win there?

It's been weeks since we've heard anything from Absolute.... they're dragging out the audit in the hopes that the story will go away. I'm determined to keep the story alive and in the news... so it's time to start talking about it again....
