Not sure if Carribean 21 is a card game. But... with the proliferation of so many online poker sites I wonder if the day will come when a few shady ones will just refuse to pay the big winners!

Huh. MSNBC wrote a well-researched story? Color me impressed...but that's not the one you're talking about [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That 1.3M story was really big last year, but the guy basically admitted to using a bot in a phone conversation with the site manager that also got leaked at some point. It's not something I'd be worried about right now.

edit: And 5 minutes later, I get interested in the outcome of that whole mess, Google it up and find out the 'robot confession' was a fraud and the casino never had the money to pay the guy in the first place.

Oh well, at least I'm reasonably confident that won't be Party's problem.
