I gave them a lot to chew on so I understand. Some of that information may be new to them. I don't know how many people have put 2+2 together regarding bots and see the big picture.

The evidence is very comprehensive and not just "He has high WWSF".
I gave list of ~20 names so that is a lot of investigation to do for Playtech. And FWIW I did most of the investigation for them. They would need to have some type of data specialist look over and confirm my findings.
I have asked Pontylad to review the work I've done.
Also if Internet wants to check it, reply back to me on skype. I haven't got hold of him but don't wish to spam either.
wrt. house bots.
It would be a very big PR risk to allow such thing. Playtech is a publicly traded company. Same goes for a lot of the iPoker skins.
They make their millions by running and hosting casinos, poker is just a side product.
50nl can always run even without bots. On 100nl there would be less tables and not even the bots actively start 200, they just keep the game going. Most of the iPoker bots don't play HU.
For game quality it's much better to not have the bots.
One less bot = one more seat at the table. If that's a weaker player, everyone benefits and keeps coming back to the site.
Bots are biggest leeches in the poker economy since they operate from unfair standpoint. They kill winrates for recreationals and regulars. I bet there could be regs who quit iPoker since they couldn't win (partly due to the bots).
If the bots never existed, you would still have those regs grinding the games.
So in other words bots leech the system and never have to deposit. It's very bad PR if the word about bots gets out. It may result in regulars mass leaving. Or if someone googles "bet365 bots".
I have seen midstakes bots crush the games. And 20-50nl bots could be programmed by 400nl player. Not all the bots on Bet365 are very good.
Here's a few graphs.
Pumpkinshtein. I studied him the least, but he is either human playing 100% perfect aggressive poker, or a bot. Easier to go with the latter. The rest of the people on my list I studied comprehensively.
Had a quick look at him and found evidence for a bot. Not everything matches though.
There's one place where you could get more information from *if you know what I mean*
