Message: [QUOTE="Snowman1964, post: 851602, member: 28324"] Er...no it wasn't. Not in any way whatsoever. The inference was that Absolute Poker/Ultimatebet are untrustworthy, which on their past history is difficult to argue against. Their behaviour following the superuser scandal was nothing short of disgraceful. No, I don't mean the Canadian federal government. The UK government has recently refused the KGC recognition as they didn't meet the minimum criteria required to be added to their white list of authorities. The KGC's reaction to the Absolute Poker/Ultimatebet situation can't have helped in this matter coupled with their reluctance to allow a completely independent investigation unless it was by (and only by) organisations sanctioned by the KGC. They could have done themselves a big favour here but manged to let it slip through their fingers. I think that's half the problem. The KGC operates outside of federal jurisdiction and are essentially a law unto themselves. Why not work with the federal authorities to instigate a pan-jurisdictional body that will be recocnised by outside authorities? Surely this can only be a positive move in gaining both kudos and prospective recognition. This one deserves an apology from you. At no time in my post did I say, infer or intimate that this was the case. Of course it's not and for you to say otherwise is not only unacceptable but demeans your argument which is otherwise well put and eloquent. However, I completely agree with your assertion that the KGC (and any other self-governing body for that matter) have to be watched closely. It's only because of dilligence from forums such as this that we stand a chance of increasing the acceptability of online gaming (and more specifically poker) into a [I]mainstream [/I]acceptability. Indeed, it's because of reasoned argument such as this that together we stand a chance of bringing it about. [/QUOTE]
