Something that has been worked on for most of the last month. The link below is the actual files of the bot farm. The complete file has everything including the documents used to verify accounts with firms, bank statements, etc.... For legal purposes, that stuff has been removed. What is still available to see is the operating files. They include screen shots of the start and end of every session, the name of the bot player, the site played on, how to evade bot detection in the registry files, texts messages with consultants helping to set them up, etc.... Everything.

A few people knew about this because we really reached to almost all the sites that were included on the list so they could take appropriate action. Basically every site we contacted was thankful and moved accordingly. There is another round to be published in the not too distant future.

I am not the head potato in charge of this. I was approached by people that had the info and wanted to be able to reach the powers that be at the firms listed.

Not every network we had direct access to the mgmt. The ones we did were definitely proactive.

This file is over 46 gigs and over 100K screenshots.

https://mega.nz/folder/D8sh2Q7S#NC2tVxewBm-bI2sIfRbCFw

There should be a follow-up or two in the next 30 days.

A sample of what is in the file ....

Can't believe I'm the first to respond in here. This is gonna be crazy in regards to the scope of this bot farm and how much infiltration they have in the internet poker landscape.

Can't wait for more info, screenshots, names, etc. a deed, am I correct in that you work for BetOnline in some capacity? Did I read that correctly in another thread?

I don't even know where I would start with a data dump like this. Can we get a summary of which sites and how many bots they had?

I know BetOnline (or maybe Chico network in general) just banned a bunch of NLHE bots and issued refunds to some players. I have played against some suspected bots on BetOnline. Wonder how long it's going to take to sort through all of this/investigate/calculate who is owed how much for playing vs these newly discovered bots/etc.

No, I dont work for any site. Just a chump that likes the pokers. The sites were very enthusiastic about this. The files they have are even more complete.

Most of the networks have had this the past three weeks... ish.

There are 60K sessions in these files. It would take a long time to go through then all....

Is there a way to filter by site?

I'm downloading now, but this is pretty slow. Maybe by tomorrow night I'll be able to start going through it because I have clients tomorrow I have to be with all day.

if someone has it downloaded, can you please search for pokerstars and post here. 2020?

takes far too long to download.

also how did they manage to get this? did they hack a bot company?

can we get a bit more info? is it russian?

isnt posting how to do it all on a public forum on a site like 2p2 a bad thing (hide from registry etc etc)

is it cash games? sng? mtts? or all types?

which site has the most? and which has the least? (might help to see which sites are actually on top of bot detections)

does it have results? wonder if its easy to compile how much they took out of ecosystem

so many questions.

I dont have any information, but the folder you can download is called "leaked computer" so I assume thats what happened.

Damn 46 GB is huge :/

You're the poster that was in the ACR thread saying a massive bot leak was coming soon right?

Download speed is pretty good but I'm on a shitty laptop with a small 64GB SSD so can't download the whole file at the moment. Anyone else managed to take a look at this? Would also be curious to know which sites have the biggest bot problem.

Update: started off downloading at 6MB/s, now fluctuating between 200KB/s and 3MB/s. I guess someone with MEGA premium would have an easier time downloading.

I have the same issue, its huge and my internet is shitty. I got only 25% of one file so far. I think I will need to download all night to get at least the 2020 folder.

For anyone to know what's happened here they will have to download the files and do their own analysis. I hope someone is good enough to come along and put this down into a more user friendly format, like cliffs.

For what you are exposing, I thought OP was a terrible post - you could have easily clearly posted the key sites and/or screen-names involved rather than a 46gb dump of folders and files.

I have downloaded and looked at the 2020, the main sites involved are:

Tiger, Grandpoker, WWIN, Planetwin, Boss, GD, Betfair, ACONCAGUA, Spartan, PPLS (seems to be newgioco), Bofog, Golgol, Eurobet

For each of these sites is numerous players - there are several folders with these files and each folder has about 100 players in it - I haven't checked if they are just the same players in different folders. Then it has pictures in each player folder of their login times when they accessed the bot I guess...

Basically it looks like OPs screenshot - and each of those folders opens their daily login screenshots from the bot program I'm guessing

edit - 2018 has ACR accounts too. Not going to bother downloading 2019 but assume similar

Based on the screenshot mainly Chico and smaller networks in Italy/Serbia/Brazil/Spain, but there are also a few accounts on Betfair, Betonline and ACR...
