Integrity

You can feel safe playing at Absolute Poker. Great care has been taken to provide our players with the safest place to play poker online. Integrity is a key part of our mission statement and will continue to be our focus as we strive to continue to be the best and most trusted online poker site in the market. When the stakes are on the line, we have gone, and will continue to go to great lengths to do everything possible to offer the most honest and fair games played on the web.

Our security and safety measures and procedures are constantly reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that our players have a safe place to play poker. A strong competitive advantage is obvious when taking a closer look at the measures taken in respect to banking, collusion, hackers & the randomness of our card shuffling software at Absolute Poker.

Hackers

Absolute Poker is secure in the transfer of any information between its players and our Absolute servers. We utilize the internationally accepted industry standard SSLv3/TLSv1 encryption algorithm to protect your information as it transfers between our client application running on your computer and our servers. So whether it is credit card, your name, password, your cards, your personal address and any other private information is protected. Player cards are sent directly and exclusively to the individual player's computer without ever being susceptible of being hacked. Also no other computer playing at your table can see your face down cards. This security is the best available and prevents any hacking and ultimately collusion to take place.

Card Shuffling

It is critical for card shuffling to take place using a shuffle algorithm as part of our software. This shuffling algorithm is fair and unpredictable. Please see our RNG certificate. There is no deck of cards that is shuffled as thoroughly as the Absolute Poker algorithm shuffles our cards. Each game, the deck is shuffled 10 times with each shuffle moving each card somewhere between 1 and 51 times throughout the deck (10 passes at Knuth's full shuffle algorithm).

In addition to the shuffling algorithm, Absolute Poker uses a random number generator. The entropy pool needs to be large enough to allow it to be impossible for any player to have an advantage over the other players. Absolute Poker's Random Number Generator has been fully certified as random by a well known third party, Technical Testing Systems, Inc, http://www.tstglobal.com/.

If you have any questions with regard to any integrity or security issues, please do not hesitate to contact us .
