UltimateBet’s continuing investigation has confirmed that other usernames, in addition to those previously identified on this site, were associated with the cheating scandal.

The additional usernames include:  Crackcorn55, WhakMe, GrabBag123, gravitation, Bgroup, H_Curtis, Twenty 1, WacoManiac, Broke_In_L_A, ShaqTack, BlueBerry101, HolyMucker, 55WasHere, Xnomas, dannyboy55, Indy05, SlimPikins2.  The same perpetrators we had previously identified controlled all of these usernames; there are no new perpetrators involved, only new usernames.

The have also confirmed that the cheating dates back further then we initially believed.   UB can now confirm that the cheating began in January 2005, long before Tokwiro Enterprises ENRG acquired UltimateBet from the previous ownership.

Tokwiro regrets that we did not discover this scheme during our due diligence when they purchased UltimateBet in October 2006, and that they did not identify the fraudulent activity until this recent investigation.  UB remains committed to our players, and to resolving this problem completely, and will start refunding players for any net losses in hands played with the usernames listed above once we complete our investigation. 

Tokwiro considers itself to have been a victim of this fraud and they are continuing to "explore our legal options".  As part of this effort, they are compiling all of the information they have gathered in regard to the perpetrators and their activities, for possible use in any legal action.

UB will continue to provide updates on our investigation, as they are still looking at a few accounts.  They would like to take this opportunity to thank the poker community for their invaluable contributions to this investigation and remind them that they remain committed to fully examining any claims of fraud that we receive.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this investigation, please contact UB at
