The Kahnawake Gaming Commission's investigation into the superusing scandal at UltimateBet has completed.
According to the KGC,
The decision released today reviews the corrective actions that have been taken by Tokwiro over the past 12 months, and concludes that Tokwiro has provided sufficient evidence to justify the continuation of its license to operate, subject to a number of additional conditions of licensure.
Steps taken to remedy the scandal include $22 million refunded to players and $1.5 million in fines. 23 accounts and 117 usernames were used to perpetrate the scandal. Russell Hamilton was primarily implicated.
The entire decision can be found here.
I don't know if I can support the Ultimate Bet management, even still. At first, they swore up and down that there was no cheating involved, just extremely lucky, bad players. Once they were caught red-handed, they agreed to get to the bottom of it. To me, this reeks of CYA spin. But now that UB is on the Cereus network along with Absolute Poker, home of another super-user scandal, they may have cleaned up their act. I guess only time will tell, and I won't play high-stakes on the Cereus network until I can trust them again.
Update: In response to the Scandal, UltimateBet has recently arranged for spyware and snooping code to be implemented into the software. Read more here.
