On Sun., Nov. 30th CBS will premiere their special “How Online Gamblers Unmasked Cheaters”. This special was filmed after a 16-week research into the online Texas Hold’em industry and particularly a cheating scandal with the online poker site Absolute Poker.

This poker page was studied after some of the poker players on the website stated that a poker player was illegally winning a great amount of cash. Todd Witteles was a vital player in this research, according to Witteles; he was losing large amounts of money to the exact same Texas Hold’em poker player. Witteles claimed that this player was raising against incredibly good poker hands, anyone would have assumed he was basically giving his money to the other players, but he was unbelievably winning quite often.

Witteles was quite correct in his assumptions, it was later shown that a player with knowledge of the site was able to see any poker player’s hole cards. At first, Absolute Poker said that there were no faults with the room or the Texas Hold’em poker competitor. After numerous players moved forward with accusations, the Texas Hold’em site examined further into the problem and found the problem.

By Jan. of 2008, the gaming commission uncovered what the Texas Hold’em poker competitors and the poker website had suspected all along. It turned out that, there was an employee who had broken through the Texas Hold’em poker room’s security system and was playing poker illegitimately for more or less six weeks. The research proved that the poker page had not benefited from the illicit activities in any way, and was in no way, shape or form implicated.

These circumstances are further proof that there should be more laws in regards to online poker websites. The United States government should authorize and legalize the online poker business to defend these honorable customers. These laws would also regulate the access to these pages by children, which tends to be another concern these days.
