Online Poker Room Pays Off Players

Recently it came to light that a popular online poker room was involved in a cheating scandal that has cast a pallor over the entire industry. Absolute Poker hosted a big tournament where the winner was displaying signs of having insider information, and when one of the players in the tournament requested a typical hand history, he instead got a document filled with private information on every player in the game. Now facing more than just allegations of cheating the poker room is being taken to task for releasing private information. As a way of apology the poker room has offered each player on the list $500 in their account.
