If you ever wondered if people can cheat at onlinr poker,here is your answer,is it widespread?..prolly not,but really you never know if someones cheating at the mid-large money tables...Low limits may be safe,but if somebody wanted to cheat a long time and not get caught,thats how i would do it!..question is,who is cheating righ now?

Thanks for the link. Interesting article.

Are Pokerstars and Full Tilt not both licensed by Kanwahake?

From PokerStars web site:

"PokerStars is a registered legal business located in the Isle of Man, in the British Isles. We abide by the laws and regulations where we do business"...
so my guess is "no" on Pokerstars .... dunno 'bout FT

Why anyone would play Absolute Poker anyway is beyond me.

It appears you are right, yet I could have sworn that Stars was KGC? Have they recently switched jurisdiction or were they always Isle of Man?

Baffled.

credit Wikipedia...

"Launched in September 2001, PokerStars is owned by a Costa Rican company, Rational Enterprises. With its company headquarters on the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, PokerStars is also licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada. Since relocating to the UK Crown dependency, PokerStars has been the subject of financial media speculation regarding a possible IPO or merger with a publicly listed company. Analysts estimated its market value would be approximately $3 billion (US), which would have made the company one of the world's largest privately held gambling companies.["

at some point will we have to wonder if any sites are on the up and up? Probably but think how Vegas was run in the early days and even now the casino does not have to prove you are cheating to ban you so would you really think some online entity with no one to really answer to would be any different

Isn't Ultimate Bet licensed by that same tribe? I seem to remember that when I sent in a check to UB that it went to them.

Absolute Poker is a Absolute Joke.
