Anybody following the public de-pantsing of the online poker industry can continue following it at the Washington Post.
Last night,
60 Minutes televised its report outlining the basic dirtiness surrounding the cheating scandals at Absolute Poker and UltimateBet.
That investigation was a partnership between CBS and the Washington Post.
So it comes as no surprise that WaPo has completed the circle this weekend with a very in-depth discussion of the scandal, as well as including background information about the Kahnawake reserve.
While a lot of the WaPo report is a rehash of the
60 Minutes piece, of particular interest is the discussion about the pros and cons of regulating the online gambling industry in America, titled
Prohibition vs. Regulation Debated As U.S. Bettors Use Foreign Sites.
For anybody wondering how, if, or why online regulation could happen in America, this is a must-read.
Kudos to the Washington Post for bringing this story to the forefront.
