A Tough Time for Online Poker. Here are the Headlines
UltimateBet Superuser scandal which saw many Superuser accounts take millions of dollars off of the players at the highest No Limit Texas Holdem games on the Internet. Some of the UltimateBet owners and management are involved in the cheating directly and in the coverup as well.
Online Poker Account Selling becomes a new phenomena whereas online pros take over another player's account late in a tournament for a percentage of the profit. Account Selling has been discussed recently in forums but was brought to the poker world's attention because of the cheaters Chris "BluffMagCV" Vaughn and Sorel 'Imper1um' Mizzi who were caught account selling on Full Tilt Poker when Chris Vaughn's account won the $1 Million guaranteed but Imper1um had taken over with about 24 players remaining.
The UIGEA, which made it unlawful for banks to cooperate with gambling sites, was put into the SAFE Port Act at the last minute without any discussion.
Many large poker rooms most of which were publicly traded online poker rooms, such as Party Poker, Doyles Room, and Paradise Poker pulled out of the US market because of the UIGEA.
After those big poker rooms pulled out of the US, there was a long period of uncertainty as to whether Pokerstars, Full Tilt Poker, Ultimatebet, and Bodog would do the same.
Many of the online banks (e-wallets) like Neteller stopped serving customers from the United States, making it very difficult for players to fund and withdraw money from poker sites. On top of this, the largest online bank, Neteller, froze players funds for many months.
Many cases of multi-accounting were publicized and several lifetime bans from playing online poker were handed out to those caught. One of those banned, JJProdigy, becomes a regular face at major brick and mortar tournament final tables despite serving a lifetime ban which started two years ago. Another multi-accounting player, a well known online poker player ZeeJustin, who at the age of 16 wins almost $140,000 in an online poker tournament while using two accounts.
Jamie Gold won the World Series of Poker in 2006. His lack of marketability combined with a highly publicized legal battle for who held the right to his winnings did not benefit poker in anyway. Then in 2007, another unmarketable player in Jerry Yang won the championship.
Full Tilt Poker makes headlines when a bot scandal breaks out where software bots were discovered playing high stakes Limit Holdem. Many players were reimbursed by the poker site. Recent allegations of Bots being used at Ultimate Bet are rumored in poker forums. The allegations say that Ultimate Bet are aware of the Bots but continue to not do anything to stop them in order to keep the games full.
The World Championship of Online Poker winner TheV0id was caught multi-accounting in that tournament, he loses his title and the $1 million dollar first place prize.
Absolute Poker scandal breaks out revealing two high ranking management personnel used a super-user account that allowed them to see the hole cards of their opponents to take hundreds of thousands of dollars off of other players. Reports surface that this may have been going on for longer then originally thought, and maybe up to 7 million was stolen from players over three years. The pro face of absolute poker, Mark Sief, blatantly lies to the poker community repeatedly trying to cover up the scandal claiming its simply impossible to think that is possible, despite overwhelming publicly available hand history proof that cheating occurred.
