I play on this site as TheOnlyHuman. My account was just blocked under suspicion of being a bot. I have never used any software to assist me or even a seating script. 100% of my play was done manually and if the staff in charge of making this decision was even remotely competent they would see that based on the timing of my clicking and the sporadic breaks in my registration patterns.



I suspected this was coming based on the massive amount of mouthbreathers reporting me for being a bot simply because my volume was so high, and that is the reason I have always played so small/never kept a roll on the site. On top of having my account reinstated immediately I demand that the 7-8 tables I had going upon being booted are refunded in full.

This site has now become a scam in every way imaginable.

how many hours do you play per day?

No more than JaredPoker

I'm sure they'll sort you out. Hopefully soon.Still sucks obv. Being booted off 6-8 tables that i presume were sngs is pretty lame. Definitely should refund your buyin at the very least. Pretty crappy. Reminds me of back in the day at stars they made a high volume player send in video of him playing 42 tables or however many it was.

How did you know people were reporting you for being a bot? And you've also worried in the past that you would be reported for being a bot?

This happens on other sites too. Its actually a good thing that they look into players for cheating. A simple video of you playing your daily session showing similar timing and decision making should easily prove your innocence.

+1

To be honest. I am not convinced you never used botting methods. I always thought your play at the tables was suspicious.

It will be veryyy interesting to watch how this plays out.

Drag, I see you daily at the Maggie tables and multi table right along with you TheOnlyHuman. It never crossed my mind that you may use software. I figured you are just sitting there clicking bet/fold like most of us do while mutitabling. good luck with getting your stuff straightened out at Global. The place is a wreck and getting worse.

I had some sympathy for you until this ridiculous closing statement.

A site doing due diligence security in an attempt to thwart botting does not make them a scam, it adds to their legitimacy imo.

If you are innocent your answers and their investigation will bear that out. And if they locked you out in the middle of games, and you're ultimately determined to be innocent, they should absolutely refund those buy ins imo.

Hope they can resolve quickly for you. Timing sucks, with this Worldpay customer service fiasco they are no doubt backlogged now with workflow.

This is aceking713, I tried to tell them you were not a bot, it was clear to me you were not one, sucks this happened to you, but you will get your account back.

Sorry that you are frozen, but you could at least try to prove the statements you are making instead of whining like a child. And you decided to make a thread about this so expect judgement.

I timeout many times everyday and if I accidentally go past 12 tables I start making awful Jaredpoker type shoves since there isn't any time to think. The fact that I timeout and once in a while rage in the chatbox alone should prove I'm human.

I really shouldn't have to be proving my innocence. For those defending Global for trying to preserve the integrity of the game, what you should be is alarmed at the blatant incompetence they are demonstrating. There are real, actual bots in the cash games that have been pointed out on this forum yet they are overlooked.

I agree their incompetence is frustrating. I am glad though they are at least checking people who I suspect of botting. You DO have to prove your innocence but thats the nature of online poker. They should absolutely refund you for those tables closed 100%.

Now keep in mind, when someone asks you about volume and you reply "No more than JaredPoker". It makes you look real childish and hard to gain sympathy, which is why I assume you created this thread instead of just complying with them.

Sorry but occasionally spazzing in chatbox isn't proof.

Theonlyhuman is 100% right, there were players like ntellier or whatever his name was that accused him of playing 23 hrs a day, which is just not true, I do not have a problem with global checking to see if hes a bot, I actually think they should be doing that its a +, but they should not have just closed his account because of people that just suck at poker that complain of these things without any evidence.

I have sympathy too and that sucks, and I agree you should get full refund, but....


1. Why the randomly calling me out? I don't even know you.

2. As I likely play the most on the site in SnG, and also likely put in the most time studying, my shoving range is quite close to optimal. Regardless of what others think (because of ineptitude, and what not) my shoving range is by far the closest to optimal out of every single player that I've played with on the site, and the only reason it may not seem as such is due to people randomly deciding to call much wider than they should be and ICM suiciding in the process.


Regardless... good luck with the refund.

I agree, they should at least have some good reason for freezing an account besides just complaints from players. Maybe they have suspicions/evidence but didn't elaborate in their email.

Does anyone else not think it’s a joke that they ask him elementary questions to prove he’s not a bot? Any bot creator could answer these in seconds.

I think you are being quite assumptive in your question. For sure a bot owner/creator could answer those questions and assuming they did, does Global just then re-open the account?

Your question has a hidden assumption that they would just open the account, making the questions a joke. There isn't any evidence of this being what they would do, however. These could easily just be the first round of questions as they dig deeper into the situation. Straw men are easy to push over to be certain.

OP, I also agree with what was posted above, a quick video of your play should prove your innocence. The problem with such a video is they need unlock your account so that is allowed to play for you to make the video.

Perhaps ask that question of them? Could they open your account for 24hrs while you make a "proof" video of you doing the behavior they suspect is suspicious.

I also agree, I hope they didn't lock your account because some players complained. Hopefully there is much more to it than that. But I won't make an assumption either way on that front.

Their email the OP posted says nothing about user complaints. The OP said he thinks people were reporting him for large volume, although it's not clear why he'd think that.

The whole picture isn't clear here, Globals email says "their monitoring systems detected you've been playing very high volume". But it's not clear what that means. OP eludes to playing 8-12 tables at a time, that alone can't be the problem, there are players who play more tables when they are grinding. If he's playing 24/7 around the clock that's obviously a problem but there's no indication of anything like that.

@OP, I am defending Global for trying to preserve the integrity of the game, yes. I am not arguing with you about how they handle it being less than stellar. If they shut you down to investigate without reasonable evidence to do so, and in the middle of active games no less, that's ridiculous. We just don't know what the evidence is they are acting on at this point. And for sure, if you are cleared of wrong doing then they 100% should refund you all the buy ins you lost due to being locked out mid game.

I think he was banned because he plays micro stakes SNGs, let me explain, the reason why jared poker or poker 12 have not been banned is because they are playing higher stakes, when you grind these micro stakes SNGs and play 100 of them a day, these players at these stakes are more likely to complain, they see you winning at avery high rate, your playing alot of tables, and also, your shoving your hands alot, they being very fishy players can't understand this, hence they complain on FB or on this forum or directly to global, poker12 and jared are not going to deal with that at the same degree as to someone grinding the micros, your more likely to be accused of being a bot at those stakes because of the player pool, anyways, this is just my opinion.

DrMoonshine here. I know TheOnlyHuman personally, and can confirm he’s not a bot. I have no reason to chime in other than the fact that I think this ban is morally and fundamentally wrong. The fact that Global can make such bans just because people off 2+2 and Facebook accuse him, is absurd. I lose more faith in global by the day

Umm.......

Do you coach?
