Microgaming Scandal Latest

The Microgaming Scandal was a real shock to the online poker world and you can read more about it on FasterMule Poker a great resource for online poker training and information.

For those of you not in the loop the cliffs are basically in the space of just 3 years two massive Microgaming skins (or poker rooms) have gone out of business and players have not received their money back. Microgaming as a network (shown being interviewed by the industry Body the APCW below) insist they are "just a software provider".

If Microgaming are going to take this totally different approach and offer no protection it might be best to look elsewhere for more protection.
