online poker cheats

[got_craps]

I was reading somewhere about a scam where the players were playing poker online at some top sites and by using 'superadmin' accounts were able to log in and see other users cards. They apparently won millions in cash and tournament games before being caught.

Anyone know anything about this?

NO, but was intrigued by this so went searching for more information. It appears to be true anyway and happened at the end of 2008, but it had been going on for 3 years at two top casino sites. Here is a link to an original news article on this..... http://www.neoseeker.com/news/8956-online-poker-scams-discovered-at-absolute-poker-and-ultimatebet/ :eek:

WOW :eek: I wonder how many other similar scams are going on in the online casinos that havent been found out. I'm sure those you mentioned were only caught because they made it so obvious by never losing. Anyone with half a brain would not be that obvious, they deserved to get caught. :D

If you look hard enough you will find quite a few that have been caught out ripping the casinos off online. I guess we dont hear too much about it cos if we did nobody would trust the systems that are being used and they wouldnt want to risk losing their monies in the online casinos.

That sounds about right, thats why we always hear about the big bonuses instead, to entice us to them. :rolleyes:
