Sister Site Says Don’t Worry

In the wake of the cheating scandal that has engulfed Absolute Poker, sister site UltimateBet has responded that history could not repeat itself when it comes to safety.

In an informal survey of numerous major online poker rooms this week, Earl Burton of Poker News asked specifically if a reprise of the Absolute Poker debacle would be possible and Kahnawake-licensed UltimateBet responded with a vociferous ‘no’.

'UltimateBet has been dealing cards on the Internet since the year 2000 and we have implemented strong safety measures to ensure the trust and security of our customers,” a statement from the company read.

'We take the security of our system at UltimateBet very seriously. Whenever you access our website or game any confidential information passed between us is encrypted. Our website uses secure server technology to ensure that when you perform a cash-out, access hand histories or make deposits your communications are protected using the same technology as online banking sites. All communications between your computer and our servers are also encrypted using public/private key encryption. These keys are changed frequently. Please rest assured that we follow up on any wrong-playing offenders.'

Absolute Poker has admitted that a flaw in its software enabled a company consultant to view other players' hole cards and win up to $800,000 unfairly. The company's Kahnawake licensing jurisdiction ordered an investigation into the incident by Gaming Associates, which is ongoing.
