This question has been posed on this and other forums a lot but it has been met with scepticism,however recent admissions from ultimatebet and to a similar scandal to one at absolute poker leaves us in o doubt that cheating can and does exist in online poker,it wouldnt surprise me if other scandals similar to these come to light with so many oline poker sites now freely available and such huge amounts of cash involved...
Paul Leggett is the Chief Operating Officer of Tokwiro Enterprises, a private company that owns both Absolute Poker and UltimateBet. UltimateBet had a cheating scandal similar in nature to that of Absolute Poker. In May 2008 they released a statement about the scandal. The company states that cheating took place from March 2006 to December 2007. The company claims the cheating was perpetrated by employees of the former owners, Excapsa Software. According to the company, the fraudulent activity was traced to unauthorized software code that transferred hole-card information of other players at the tables to the perpetrators' accounts during play. UltimateBet states removal of the cheating software as of February 2008 and began issuing refunds to affected players.
