For those unaware, there are a lot of issues at the moment concerning Absolute Poker.
Approximately a month ago, some concerns came up about a "superuser" account that was able to see all hole cards, and was killing the high stakes games. This was mostly based on hand histories where the only explanation was that the account was able to see everyone elses cards during play. Absolute ignored the issue, and it got lost in the shuffle...
...until last week. Player Crazy Mark came 2nd to a player by the name of Potripper in the 1k. Crazy Mark was suspicious about the hands and asked for a hand history to be sent him - and Absolute accidently sent him the master hand history, that contained EVERYONES hole cards on every table. This then revealed that there was definitely something fishy going on, and most probable cheating. A most recent update now has evidence that the cheater is actually Absolute Poker themselves, with the CEO of Absolute, Scott Tom allegedly behind it. You can read all the drama at our friend Adanthars blog, here.
Absolute have still not came out to say anything about this, however at this time we cannot trust Absolute in any way, and are pulling them from the site, meaning we do not offer rakeback there, NOR do we advise you playing there. We have also pulled Ultimate Bet, who are owned by Absolute Poker. If you currently get rakeback there under us then you are still under us for rakeback so don't worry about that - we just won't be accepting any new accounts at Absolute.
