From the description:

2:55--Russ Hamilton: "Annie Duke regularly used [God mode software] on a 15 minute delay"

5:07--Russ Hamilton: "I did take this money & I'm not trying to make it right ... so let's get that out of the way"

6:30--Russ Hamilton claims he spread his ill-gotten gains to high stakes players: "Freddy Deeb got the most cash."

8:20--Russ Hamilton justifies his fraud by claiming he used it to pump up UB: "I spent a lot of this money on [UB promotions]."

8:30 to end : UB exec suggests some of Russ Hamilton's cheating was "sanctioned" by mgmt. to help UB survive a financially difficult period.

9:00 to end: UB exec suggest shifting blame/liability for fraud to Excapsa

The games in Nevada are Legit because there are tekkie cops from the NGC (Nevada Gaming Commission) monitoring all servers, in-house along with banking and/or complaints.

They are mandated to have NGC links on all sites.

3 Cheers for Nevada getting yet another form of gaming RIGHT!

Although Ultimate Poker is new, one thing is for sure, the NGC doesn't mess around. My mother worked in casinos for many years and had an inside scoop on their regulations. If there is any hint of hanky-panky they can and will sniff it out and administer justice with a vengence where applicable.

When there is money involved, there will always be crooks lurking in the dark to take advantage of the honest people (players). Just my thoughts.

No, UP actually had the name first because they are the guys behind Ultimate Fighting, MMA.

There are many more worms in the can of online poker. Its not as rosy as most die hard believers of online poker believe.

I have always believed this to be true but moving forward Im Very excited to know that the NGC and alike will be there to protect us in the US, at least.

how could these pro use these to get ill gotten gain.

how about other site...hope cheating scandal of UB is just a special case here.

The cheaters could actually see other players cards.

This is absolutely stupid. I cant believe this actually came out for good. So grossed out right now

The above is old news, hopefully things have gotten a bit tighter/better.

It's nice that Ultimate Poker (not related to UB) stopped using Iovation, since their CEO is Greg Pierson, who founded Ultimate Bet. It feels good to say I never played on UB for $

What are the online site addresses for the Nevada poker clients?

Would be cool if they could just open this to the United States and not just Nevada.

Not sure why they couldn't. Or should I say wouldn't want to.

Gotta love how he justifies it, what a dbag. Has Annie made any statements refuting these accusations?

Also I would think he would be able to afford a better ringtone than that with all the money he stole.

Nevada only poker is regulated under the Nevada Gaming Control Board. They can only regulate what operates in Nevada. I doubt that ANY state would allow another state's gaming board to control what happens in their state.

By the same thinking and legalities, how would a Michigan resident complain to a Nevada agency for resolution to a problem ? The possible problems seem endless without a National/Federal intervention.
