The parent company of UltimateBet (UB), Tokwiro Enterprises ENRG (Tokwiro), last Friday received a decision from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC), UB's regulatory authority, regarding the 2008 UB cheating scandal. The report, which followed an intensive and exhaustive investigation, ruled that Tokwiro has met the conditions imposed on it and has shown adequate cause as to why its Client Provider Authorization should not be revoked. The report also included a full public disclosure of all 23 accounts and 117 usernames that were used by the cheater. The method for determining the list of names was approved by the KGC and their forensic auditors.

What strategies should you play to beat them, that kind of thing.
