It’s incredible that people are even associating with these companies after the recent scandals plastered all over industry news sites and publications. From players to sponsors, no one seems to care. And it’s the ultimate slap in the face to everyone, that the two companies (part of one umbrella company) would have the balls to merge their two alleged cheating entities into one large one.

Anyone that plays on these sites must have a wish to go broke. For years on poker forums there has been the “online poker is rigged” debate, and everyone who posed the question was flamed mercilessly. Now after finding out it’s true in a sense, people are still playing at the rooms that are under investigation.

Not only that, when these two companies merge, they will be one of the largest online poker rooms, which means more money to pull in unsuspecting and naive players with advertising. New players come online to play every day, and many of them don’t do any research before they do, so they are usually going to pick the biggest rooms with the most exposure.

Cereus will give them that. And with big name players like Hellmuth, Duke, Deeb and others touting it, it will be all the more appealing. The online players of the future may not even know about Absolute or UB after the dust settles.

And they may just be the ones ripe for the picking when the new “superuser” accounts show their ugly faces.
