Due to a technical problem, an erroneous bonus payment was issued in the Casino on February 10th, 2008.

The bonus was wrongly issued after each Casino transaction and then credited to your bonus balance, not on the following day as it is specified in the terms and conditions.

Furthermore, bonus credit was able to be generated through the bonus itself, which is ruled out by the bonus regulations.

The bonus terms stated: 'The bonus will be credited to the customers account on one of the following days.'

Due to the terms and conditions, the promotion had to be cancelled, as there had been an obvious technical failure:

'Interwetten may cancel, terminate, modify or suspend the promotion or these terms and conditions at any point and for any reason, including for technical reasons such as and not limited to computer viruses, bugs, tampering or technical failures.'

In your case, all casino transactions starting from Feburary 10th, 2008, 00:00 a.m., had to be voided. This includes the refund of all real money losses, instead of only 10% of the real money losses, plus the cancellation of the complete erroneously created bonus.

We want to point out that there is no disadvantage to your account, as not 10 % as stated in the bonus offer, but the complete amount of losses has been refunded.

In the matter of Absolute Poker
Investigation regarding complaints of cheating

Decision

The Kahnawá:ke Gaming Commission (the "Commission") first received complaints concerning this matter on or about October 16th 2007. The essence of the complaints was that one or more persons associated with Absolute Poker ("AP"), while participating in live poker games with players, had been using software that enabled that person or those persons to see the "hole cards" of each of the other players. For the purposes of this decision, the aforementioned activity, and activities necessarily incidental thereto, will be referred to as the "impugned activities".

As a result of the received complaints, the Commission initiated an investigation into AP's operations. The scope of the investigation was broadly defined with the objective of determining whether the impugned activities had occurred and, if so:

? All the facts and circumstances related thereto;

? Whether affected players had been reimbursed for any losses that resulted from the impugned activities;

? Whether AP had breached one or more of the Commission's Regulations concerning Interactive Gaming (the "Regulations") and, if so, the appropriate sanctions that should be applied.

? The appropriate measures that should be implemented to ensure that the impugned activities - or any other improprieties - would not be repeated.

On October 17th 2007, the Commission mandated its approved agent, Gaming Associates, to carry out the necessary inquiries, audits and reviews of AP's systems and personnel. Over the course of approximately 10 weeks Gaming Associates fulfilled its mandate and obtained extensive information from AP's operations in various locations around the world; which it has provided to the commission. Based on this information, the Commission makes the following findings of fact:

1. That commencing on August 14 2007 and thereafter for a period of approximately six weeks, the accounts listed below were used to compromise AP's system by participating in live poker games with players using software that enabled the viewing of the "hole cards" of each of the other players, resulting in unfair play. The Commission has identified the person(s) responsible for the impugned activities and has directed that AP take action to have these person(s) removed from playing any role in AP 'mind and management' and/or operations, and to provide proof, acceptable to the Commission, that this has been done.

GRAYCAT
PAYUP
STEAMROLLER
POTRIPPER
XXCASHMONEYXX also known as SUPERCARD M55
DOUBLEDRAG
RONFALDOXXB also known as ROMNALDO

2. That subsequent to the impugned activities taking place, person(s) associated with AP's operations deleted certain gaming logs and records which had the effect of hampering the Commission's investigation ? but which did not prevent the commission from obtaining sufficient information on which to base finding number 1. Except with respect to these actions, the Commission is satisfied with the level of cooperation provided by AP management and staff throughout the investigation.

3. That there is no evidence to indicate that the impugned activities were authorised or sanctioned by AP as a corporate entity ? either through its Board of Directors or its principal ownership. There is no evidence that the impugned activities benefited, or were intended to benefit, AP as a corporate entity.

4. That the principles of AP failed to contact the Commission within 24 hours after they became aware the impugned activities had occurred.

5. That shortly after the impugned activities became publicly known, AP made expeditious efforts to appropriately reimburse all players who had participated in games in which the impugned activities had occurred, with interest. The Commission is satisfied that affected players have been appropriately reimbursed. However, if any player provides the Commission the evidence that he or she participated in a game in which the impugned activity occurred, and that such player has not been appropriately reimbursed, the Commission will direct AP to appropriately reimburse that player. To be considered, any such complaints from players must be received by the Commission within sixty days of the date of this decision.

6. That AP has taken the appropriate actions to address the vulnerability in its systems that allowed the impugned activities to occur and to prevent its systems from being compromised again by the impugned activities.

In view of these findings of fact, the Commission finds that AP has breached the following sections of the Commission's regulations:

261. A person must not, in relation to an authorised game, dishonestly obtain a benefit by any act, practice or scheme or otherwise dishonestly obtain a benefit through the use of any device, equipment or software.

270. In the event of an Authorised Client Provider, Approved Agent or any other employee or agent of the commission becomes aware, or reasonably suspects that

a) a person, by dishonest or unlawful act affecting the conduct or play of an authorised game, has obtained a benefit for the person or another person; or

b) there has been an unlawful act affecting the conduct or playing of an authorised game;

within twenty four (24) hours of becoming aware of, or suspecting, the dishonest or unlawful act, the person who becomes aware must give the Commission a written notice advising the Commission of all the facts known about the matter.

245. Unless the information previously contained in the gaming record is kept in another way under an approval of the Commission, an Authorised Client Provider must keep a gaming record for five years after the end of the transaction to which the record relates.

275. A person must not obstruct an Inspector in the exercise of a power or someone helping an inspector in the exercise of a power.

As a result of its breaches of its Regulations, the Commission hereby imposes on AP the following sanctions:

1. The Client Provider Authorisation ("CPA") held by AP is hereby amended to include the following conditions:

(a) All aspects of AP's operation will be subject to random audits of logs and records, conducted by the Commission or its approved agents, over the next two years ? the costs of which will be paid by AP. If, as a result of these random audits, the Commission is provided with information indicating that AP has breached any provision of the Kahnawá:ke Gaming Law, the Regulations, the conditions attached to its CPA or any other directions of the Commission, AP's CPA may be suspended or revoked in accordance with the procedures set out in the Regulations.

(b) AP must immediately implement a continuous compliance program, and other related remedial measures, as directed by the Commission.

(c) Those person(s) responsible for the impugned activities to be permanently removed from playing any role in AP ?Mind and Management? and/or operations and proof, satisfactory to Commission, that this has been done.

2. Fine the amount of US $500,000 payable in full within 60 days.

3. Posting of a security deposit of such type and amount that is acceptable to the Commission to be held by the Commission for two years, or such other period of time that the Commission deems necessary, to be used to off-set the cost associated with any future breaches of the Kahnawake Gaming Law, the Regulations, the conditions attached to its CPA or any other directions of the Commission.

4. AP to pay to the Commission all costs associated with the Commission's investigation into this matter, including costs related to the audit conducted by Gaming Associates and any follow-up matters. These costs include any ongoing work that must be performed as a result of the audit and the decision.

Fabiano's response

If you frequent CAP you know we have ALWAYS advocated responsible marketing practices by affiliates. We have come out on numerous occasions as being clearly against SPAM, Scumware and Blackhat practices. Most of you have known me for years and you already know that about CAP.

The post that allegedly took place was from two years ago. I did NOT make that post. It's either a total fabrication or it's a post made by a person with admin access we had a problem with several years ago and let go. It's not in our database and if I had seen it years ago I would have deleted it. I am not perfect, no one is, but this is really an unfair and hateful attack that has no obvious benefit to anyone.

I don't expect the the antagonists staging this circus to accept that. They dont want an explanation or dialogue, they want blood and to damage me and CAP. They are not trying to change anything or protect anyone, it's just a malicious smear campaign based on a thread that supposedly occured over TWO YEARS AGO. Instead they will hammer away until someone steps in and stops them. That's apparent after two week of this barage.

I believe their self serving motivations are obvious and I am not interested in wallowing in the mud with these dirt bags and unethical liars, so I wont be posting again in this thread.

I hope the next time I post here it will be under far happier circumstances.

Thanks for hearing me out.
