A Tokwiro Token

Home History Games News Dictionary		An interesting fact was accidentally dropped during an interview with the COO of one of the largest corporations in the online gambling industry and though other questions were deftly smoothed over, Paul Leggett of Tokwiro Enterprises seemed surprisingly straightforward in his talk with Bob Pajich of website Card Player. The overall theme clearly was the objective to assure Internet casino lovers that Tokwiro and subsequent sites Absolute Poker. com and Ultimate Bet. com are safe, secure, and as Leggett puts it, transparent. Leggett's stint with Tokwiro Enterprises began this year, 2008, and was specifically charged with settling the craziness following the cheating episodes associated with Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. The first order of action was to weed out those executives more concerned with pumping profits with those focused on "...security and compliance and transparency and internal audits and things of that nature." The interview as a whole goes over the story surrounding the scam with a $21 million price tag, and clarification attempted by Pajich on why no criminal proceeding resulted from the scourges is to no avail. "We're simply not judge and jury," said Leggett. Since then, refunds and payments have been given to members, and the two site companies have been transferred to Tokwiro's new network name, Cereus. Leggett let drop that software development for the Cereus network is all based put of South Korea, a surprise for many. He claims that the move to Kotes was a business venture long in the making, and the cheating debacles were simply an interruption. "We were diverted by these scandals quite a bit, so that put us off-track and delayed us implementing it," Leggett says in the Card Player interview. "But the real reasons for it was to provide a better product and experience for our players by giving them double the amount of players to play against." it certainly doesn't hurt the economic savings of such a move, either. Leggett agreed: "...the operation efficiencies that we gain as a company by cost-savings and having one platform that we’re supporting, instead of doing it across two, and it’s easier for our customer service department."
