What Should Affiliates Do in Regards to the Absolute Poker Issue?

After the bombshell that came out today it is time for affiliates to seriously rethink their relationship with AP IMO. Of course removing 2 US friendly poker rooms isn't the best business decision but OTOH promoting a poker room that appears to have been completely involved in the cheating puts AP/UB up there with the likes of Pro Poker or Pokertropolis. I strongly encourage all affiliates to review the new evidence scattered in threads all over the forum that suggest AP's involvement or at the least a massive coverup and endless lies.

You're basically saying that poker room management knowingly cheated players. Bit of a stretch, don't you think? Is there any information out there proving this was more than a single disgruntled employee?

Most everyone not just PA are saying ABS had cheaters on their site. Many opnions on management (very few positives). Look for threads in Internet Gambling. It's all there.

Read my post...

I'm not saying they didn't have cheaters. PA is implying that POKER ROOM MANAGEMENT cheated players. I think that's misleading and irresponsible.

Either they were involved in the actual cheating or they helped to cover up the cheating. Take your pick. Either way they are sitting on the stolen funds lying to players about what happened.

I read your post. You should consider reading that thread. I think PA's intent is to protect players and that is a good thing. Management is definitely negligent somewhere along the line and maybe even from the beginning.

You are right here...LOL it was as 1 theory goes 1 "disgruntled" employee that sent Marco the "smoking gun" by "mistake" a complete hand history with EVERY PLAYERS hole cards,IP addresses and E-mail...This HH proved beyond a reasonable doubt what was happening and that Absolute was lying and attempting to cover it up...Absolute Management attempted to pass it off as bad poker strategy that just got lucky...Absolute did admit to the chip dumping but claimed that it was made to several unrelated accounts and was unrelated since there was no foul play...

I would suggest you read up on the numerous threads and get your facts straight..

As a customer, I prefer to work with companies who choose ethical business practice and long-term profitability over the quick buck.

This means, as a poker player, I'd rather choose (and have already chosen) to work with affiliates who cancel their Absolute deals.
