Default Re: Absolute Scandal

As others have pointed out, no one is ever assured completely of being free from fraud or cheating.

The UIGEA scared the most responsible sites out of the market, the publicly traded ones. While I have lots of confidence about Stars and FTP and a few others (TruePoker for sure [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]), the "outlaw" image of these sites does create an atmosphere where criminals will find it easier to do their crimes, and - far more importantly to the criminal - get away with it once exposed. Its far easier for your coke dealer to rip you off and get away with it than it is for your pharmacist.

And the limited market does restrict players ability to vote with their dollars by going elsewhere.
