Cereus Poker Network Opens Tomorrow
November 25, 2008
Rebranding In Progress
AP and UB Merge
After over a year of bad publicity and turmoil, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet Poker announced that they will officially merge the two poker rooms onto the new “Cereus Poker Network. The poker world is greeting this announcement with a mix of skepticism and curiosity.
Most of this new network has been kept secret, and every online poker players still has a bad taste from the AP and UB cheating scandal which robbed millions from poker players over the past several years. The online forums and blogs are mixed about this new network, and most are skeptical that this is little more than a ploy to relaunch their severely tarnished image as trusted poker sites.
If by some chance you don’t know anything about the recent illegal activities of these rooms, we’ll give you a quick rundown. In short, the owners of these two poekr rooms used a “Super User” accounts which allowed them to view players whole cards during play. The accounts we made during the original beta testing of the software, and were never deactivated.
Over the course of several years, the owners of UB and AP proceeded to steal millions of dollars from players. It was only when several high stakes players on 2+2 and P5’s forums noticed an unimaginable winning percentage by several accounts, that the truth finally started to come to light.
Even after the truth was uncovered, AP and UB continued to deny the accusations until they finally were forced to come clean after a long investigation by the Kahnawake Gaming commission
Time will tell how this latest move by AP and UB to become Cereus works out, but for the sake of online poker we hope that they have learned their lesson and moved on.
