Major Absolute Poker Issue

[pokeraddict]

Excuse me, I havent read the thread yet.
I guess you have all eliminated the possibility that it is the casino itself which is doing the cheating, hah?

Absolute could have easily have been involved. There is still that possiblity. Since AP has completely ignored the issue and all the proof and tried to hope it goes away I don't put this past them. Their sleazy track record doesn't help either. I'm inclined to believe if AP is not directly involved one or more of their employees are.

Pokeraddict, is this still being discussed at 2+2? I haven't been there lately, maybe I'll go and see what's been posted.

Have they always signed their emails that way? Ha ha...good one Absolute.

This has been their slogan for a while. I caught a screenshot where they use it in their software in a question as if they were not sure.

An account I believe was created by AP started this thread at 2+2 with a statement. Posters have given them a bunch of crap over it but I think it is a step in the right direction. They admit something isn't right but deny any cheating.

Not sure? LOL...gee, that inspires confidence doesn't it Pokeraddict?

Is the thread you refer to recent? Your forum is SO huge, I get lost there. Do you happen to have a link handy? Thanks.

Sorry I meant to post the link.

It was posted about 2 hours ago. Although I've tried to encourage further discussion most people are just telling them to do something to themselves. It's a pretty vague statement, just enough to try to buy time.

As for the screenshot, here it is. Notice the scrolling text at the bottom.

I think it's posted earlier in the thread too.

Thanks for the link Pokeraddict. And the screenie. I gotta say that between this Absolute thread, the Microgaming White Label issue, and numerous other stupid casino tricks of late...I have a strong suspicion that there are discount copies of "How To Run Your Company Like An Idiot" being mass produced and sold. I see no other explanation.

And the recipe for doing it in the proper way isn't really that difficult. Transparency in all issues, timely payouts, decent CS and maintaining player trust. What's so hard about that?

I just read the entire thread PA, and I absolutely agree with you. One, has the authenticity of the post/poster been verified as yet? It certainly sounds authentic.

Two, if it is an accurate accounting of their investigation, then I think that the admission of chip-dumping by one of the accounts at least, is a HUGE step in the right direction. If no wrongdoing had taken place originally, the account in question wouldn't have felt the need to dump his chips.

Three, the fact that they have actually made a legitimate post for the first time on your forum (if it is legit), is a major improvement over the spam type behaviour that they have become known for.

This is not all good, but it's certainly a start. Kudos to you for keeping on it Pokeraddict.

1. I can't say that it has been 100% verified but my own investigation of the user leads me to believe it is legit. I can't go into how since this is how we bust them for spamming all the time. Mike Haven should get this verified soon enough for all of us to be sure.

2. Agreed, chip dumping a quarter of a million dollars to noobs should be enough right there. Hopefully they will expand on this.

3. Also agreed, many don't seem to understand that on that forum though as they are so quick to tell the OP off instead of using it as a possible opportunity (however slim) to resolve this. Many of the posters telling them off are victims so I can't really blame them. This post should have been made within 7 days of the accusations not a month later.
