...but OTOH promoting a poker room that appears to have been completely involved in the cheating...

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?

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.

Maybe I misunderstood the post but what would likely happen if an affiliate dropped AP would be they would still get paid for plyers already sent that choose to keep playing there. Also rakeback players would continue to get paid.

By "cancel" I meant "quit taking new players". I was not talking about already existing deals. Sorry, English is not my mother tongue.

NP, just wanted to make sure players knew not to worry if their affiliate bailed on AP.

And the plot thickens as evidence is found that one or more of the players in question have IPs that tie them back to Absolute.

I don't have time to post links right now (on my way out the door), but if you find the thread on the front page of the Zoo (Internet Gambling), you can follow the links from there.

It would be good to have some kind of summarization or "today links".
That threads are long as hell.
