They DID detect it, hence the investigation in the first place. This wasn't found by Kahnawake Gaming commission or any other body that was supposed to be protecting the players, it was found out by the players.

Why Pokerstars and Full Tilt, and not Absolute? The only difference is that Absolute have been found out, and the other 2 haven't. If anything, Absolute should have been the safest, as they had taken over Ultimate Bet so should presumably have gone through some form of due diligence.
 
This is a minor blip for online poker, as long as people can deposit, withdraw and play, 99% of players have no real interest in the legitamacy of a site. Absolute Poker are still there, the superuser account at Ultimate Bet has barely caused a ripple (Cardschat is still happily supporting the site).
 
The new scandal is on the ongame network, where one player had numerous runs of 30+ straight H2H SnG wins (including runs of 65 and 81 straight wins). Clearly this is impossible to achieve other than by collusion, but OnGame didn't spot it (even though it was over a v.large number of games, and they even had a SnG leader board(which he was on). Again, the only people protecting players are other players, that is the cold hard fact of internet poker 2008.
