KGC’s Press Release Regarding Cheating at Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet

This is an analysis of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission’s latest press release for those uninterested in reading it. The first paragraph is self-serving and self-congratulatory. The second paragraph passes the buck by stating fraud happens in other industries. The third paragraph is the funniest—it states cheating was discovered and brought to the attention of the licensees (Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet) by the affected players, as if AP and UB were totally unaware cheating was going on. It does not say how KGC had to be beaten over the head consistently and repeatedly with evidence gathered solely by the online poker community at large before they would even say a word about the blatant cheating that had been going on. Then, once it became apparent the cat was definitely out of the bag, they had the balls to try to take credit for discovering the whole thing.

The next paragraph outlines the Absolute poker case and the actions taken against AP, which came down to a large fine levied against AP, basically benefiting the KGC. Then it mentions becoming aware of the UB allegations, and refers to their diligent efforts investigating the scandal, and how, despite the public’s perception to the contrary, they are not “doing nothing” but in fact have, um, uncovered stuff that they will tell everyone about in the very near future. You can read the entire piece of self-serving garbage here.
