I've played in Chico network and its a shame, bot infested indeed. Also sent an email about this, let´s wait for an answer.

In my country poker is regulated and we don't have this **** happening but because is regulated we don't have volume. People here try to play in some american sites because of that and they also noticed that they are bot infested. I've noticed too some wierd moves cause I occasionally play some HU and I've played some of the BOTS mentioned. After reading that the site is really infested and BOL doesn't do nothing... I think they wanna do something but they don't have the means to do it!
Overall, I am cashing out! This is too much for me, BOL and americas cardroom have a longway if they wanna rival with other bigger networks. Just watch partypoker and that asian network that I am not remembering the name, they are stepping pokerstars toes! So... Do you think they accomplished that by being bot infested? Wake up BOL, just wake up before is too late...

believe me, they don't wanna do ****. It's not that hard to ban a bot, most of the bots playing on chico are banned on big networks

Discusting! 1 month past by, no action was being taken by this dirty, scamming bot infested chico network. Optimus23prime opted out from the search. Guess this dirty rat reads the forum.

I thought chico started to block cheaters but ofcourse i was wrong.

all of them didn't play last 10 days on chico network.
Seems the cheaters had a software problem.
Something happened for sure because ipoker bots also missed and some of them are not same CHEATERS from chico for sure, i mean baZOOkangaroo, elena1987belarus and BetterCatch . Not same cheaters but playing under same CHEATING SOFTWARE dealer .

DISGUSTING!!!

the bots you've mentionned baZOOkangaroo, elena1987belarus and BetterCatch are the same bots that used to play on WPN network before software change, so yes, it may very well be the same cheating software.
Also i am not surprised to see optimus23p still online and doing well, he didn't get ban anywhere.
What conclusion we confirm again? Poker sites, besides pokerstars & MPN don't give a damn about bots, doesn't matter what they say.
And Betonline official representative tried to convince me that chico is the 2nd most secure network I do believe that only bots can agree with that lol

Weird how in the end we will end up thanking God for bringing regulation! I play on 888.es and can't recall a single instance of anything like this

if all recreational doesn't run before that to live poker, since soon enough they will realize that bots are everywhere in online poker and poker sites like chico don't do **** to help them

I've wrote on the official 888 poker topic about optimus23p half a month ago. Same reaction as here. Poker rooms like chico/888/wpn seem not to care about bots and encourage them to play on their site

meanwhile chico still protecting their bots, no action taken couple of months after empty promises

Big reason why I stray away from HUSNG on Chico and even that client for that matter.

It's really disappointing and disgusts me to read about all of the BOT problems on so many different sites and how so many of the sites are not doing anything about it. Which sites nowadays other than Pokerstars definitely don't have any BOTS? I'm looking to play somewhere that has either a good VIP program or decent rakeback that is BOT free.

sites as that doesn't exist anymore (big rakeback and no bots), and if existed, noone would share. Big companies either spend a lot on giving the best services (no bots, good client, good customer service) and don't offer rakeback, either they offer huge rakeback (as WPN does), but doesn't invest in client/bot fighting/customer services. There are sites like chico and 888, they don't offer neither good service, neither rakeback

BTW this thread should be sticked somehow to the official chico network thread, so people will be warned that they're playing against machines, not other players

I know who is optimus23prime

Is he you?
