I wonder why it took players of a poker FORUM, as oopsed to the "regulators" of the industy/site to pick up on the fact that there was blatent and extreamly obvious cheating going on?

Isn't the kawannee gaming commission supposed to be monitering this kind of thing?

This is a really big hit for the industry in my opinoin. If the people who are supposed to be monitering the industry (poker site/gaming commission) and preventing cheating are not doing their job, whos to say this is not going on elsewhere? And by people who are not as blatent and dumb as to be caught in the mannor that these people were?

In Nevada casinos pay huge sums to the state in the form of taxes, so the state can afford to have a lot of investigators. The KGC gets only $10,000 per year from each gambling opearator, so they can't really monitor at each poker site thousands of players, day in and day out, for possible signs of cheating. As a practical matter, they must rely on reports of cheating, and they have a form for that mentioned on their website. They would have to charge hundreds of thousands of dollars per year for each gambling outfit to be able to conduct the kind of investigations you want them to conduct. And then they would have zero permittees, since none would pay that much for the right to run their servers out of that indian reservation.

I'm sorry but I've been wondering this for awhile and I just had to ask. Do you live in Kahnawake?

No. I live in the USA a very long way from this reservation. I have a major client who in a small way is like Mr Norton, a former ironworker who became a businessman, so I guess I can easily picture Norton as a good guy, so when he or his tribesmen are attacked for no good reason I guess I want to present the other side.

Your saying they don't actually do much in the way of regulation. So what exactly is the point of the gaming commission? Just to make the sites look and appear to be "legit"? Giving people a false sence of security when in fact they could actually eliminate the gaming commission and no one would really even notice.
