Sawn Henry, FBI Assistant Director have written to Representative Spencer Bachus of Alabama as stated: “There are several ways to cheat at online poker, none of which are legal,”

“Technology exists to manipulate online poker games in that it would only take two or three players working in unison to defeat the other players who are not part of the team,”

Henry also stated. “The online poker vendors could detect this activity and put in place safeguards to discourage cheating, although it is unclear what the incentive would be for the vendor.”

The letter dated November 13 was released today at an enquiry on Internet gambling by Bachus, the top Republican on the House Financial Services Committee. It is presently being reviewed.

Committee Chairman Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, has put forward legislation to overturn the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). Government officials have been listening to point of views on behalf of and against online gambling at present and will consider if it can be regulated in the incoming future.

On today’s trial concerning the bill, many large gambling and technology institutions stated that illegal practices in the net are forbidden. Issues with regards to money laundering, gambling of minors and identity theft were not that common these days.
