Number 1 is what aggravates me the most because MOST of the time they win with rags and/or runner runner - this is one of the sickest things on the site, in my opinion.

edit: I'm having better win-rates on other sites now.

They wouldn't really gain anything from this sort of supposed cheating. Especially the #3 example. They still both have to pay $25 to enter the tournament and these tournaments are winner take all so chips=$. Going up against the 3rd player with a 2-1 chip lead isn't an advantage as they still need to win the tournament 2/3rds of the time+ to breakeven or make money.

Not to mention that if you play a $25 jackpot and the prize pool is only $50, you aren't gaining anything colluding with another except rakeback. Which may or may not be paid to you.

I get your point but the hands they play against each other are just weird. Also they are from Russia, Belarus ect... Somehow they are making it profitable.

Normally when both of them show up the rate of the jackpot being 4x or better is sick. I played like 10 the other day and 7 or 8 came up with 100 to 150 on the $25.

The hands not showing up happens to me as well, but i'd just like to note that it happens when I win the pot just as frequently as when I lose and it isn't exclusively non US players . Also, sometimes it misses pots that are tiny. When you go to check the hand histories in the file, it is always missing a letter or character somewhere in the history, it's not always the same one. Can't explain why it happens though. ACR has tons of things that are bad about them, including obviously all the bots, but I don't think anything nefarious is going on with the HH files here.

Bots are out in force today -- I spotted a table with three bots.

Even after their new "bot defense" of putting a few unchanging dots on the screen?

Yes the bots are still playing. The dots only serve to make the bet sizes and pot size fonts unreadable

It really makes me question wth they are doing when 100 bots have already been accurately identified but have been playing for years, most at the same stake the entire time even with a big wr. Then they make this clearly ineffectual update. Definitely looks like they are just feigning interest in stopping bots by adding a few things that obviously don't work and claiming they actually are, knowing they won't.

You'd think the easiest thing to do is get rid of the list already compiled by you(thank you) and players. But even if you didn't compile the list, if they actually had a security team monitoring game these players would also be the easiest to spot. It seems clear they do not have anyone watching these games or actively want to keep them there.

I feel pretty strongly that they can't see past the first level thinking* of losing the bot rake vs actually hiring a bot detection team and therefore boosting their online profile.

The idea of growing their business through good business practice is a bit more of an abstract idea in comparison to the rake that these bots are generating. Like, they can point to the bot rake and say "Well the bots are creating this much rake. Losing them will hurt our bottom line"

It's a lot harder to quantify how much money they'll make by actually doing good things and being smart about bot detection

Personally, I believe that if they were to invest in some good personnel and marketing, they could easily become the site with the most traffic.

100%. Actions speak volumes and they have not banned a single account in well over 5 months. It is clear that security is either completely incompetent at detecting bots or they know which accounts are bots and choose to let them stay. Seeing they did ban 4 of the over 100 accounts 5 months ago it must be the latter.

Phil Nagy has the time preference of a house rat. His business acumen is laughable. The longer they decide to go on defrauding players and allowing for millions of dollars to be siphoned off by the card-sharing botring the lower the chances they have to ever be the number #1 site.

So here is something that I posted in
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...l#post55510785

I took last week beast table and current (around 2pm pst) and wrote a piece of software to run whatever checks we want to run.

Obviously it's not near end of the race, but I think someone who was in the top 200 most likely will be at least in the top1000 next week.
Disclaimer: I am not implying that people on this list are bots. I just present some facts.

So here you go. People from top 300 last week who are not in top 1000.
I will do this analysis later this week again. It's easy and I will be doing it every week from now on.
77 accounts from top 300 last week are not in top1000 this week

Why are you attempting to sully the names of innocent players? You stated that was not your intention but it will have that affect. The week is not even halfway over so what is your actual intention of posting this?

You have no clue about bots and seeing that you built an absolute joke of a piece of software that doesn't surprise me. Also fresh bot accounts are constantly being made and older ones retired for unknown reasons.

I am not claiming to know anything about bots.
I just wanted to see who is not on the beast table after the ACR update.
Because I've seen multiple accounts that were playing basically any time I decided to play and suddenly they all took vacations.

I don't know why you are so mad, but whatever.
I'd suggest to you to be a little less arrogant as it's not helping in solving issues, but it's internet so who the **** I am to tell you anything.

Peace.

I'm mad because I have been defrauded of thousands of dollars worth of VIP points over the past 5 months. I'm mad because I've been cheated out of hundreds of thousands of dollars by the PLO botring over the past 3 years. I'm mad because the previous software was great for multitabling and had few glitches, the new software is CPU intensive, laggy and extremely glitchy and has costed me thousands of dollars due to constant disconnects, crashes and malfunctions not to mention my volume has also decreased and I have to work many more hours to achieve the same amount of Beast points as I did on the old software. I'm mad because the employees and CEO of the Winning Poker Network are not only arrogant and deny the cheating and fraud, they also pretend that they are trying to get rid of bots and pay players correctly.

Agree with every word.

Anyone got an extra bot or two you can hook me up with? I'm ready to get them plugged into ACR so I can start collecting checks while I sleep. TIA

And yet you still give WPN your $$$.

Has there been any discussions on how to exploit the bots?

was sitting with 600$ today at an omaha table, reged for a 109 sng and a 40$ jackpot sng. the software was acting weird, so i unreged the 109 and and 40$ sng, left the omaha table and logged out. the total was 749$ and when i logged back in the money was not in the cashier. i called the live help line and only after 20 minutes on the phone with them did the 749$ reappear in my cashier. there is no history of this in the financial history tab. this was a rare occasion that i didnt have way more tables up, so i was able to notice the exact amount missing from my account and was luckily able to somehow be refunded. after this happened i find it extremely hard to trust their shitty cashier and am scared that this has probably happened many times before without me noticing.

You all getting cheated and keep playing? Fully knowing you are getting cheated?

Come on guys!

Still short thousands of dollars worth of combat and rank points from last month.

Truly is amazing isn’t it.

I did a perm self ban here , and love it.

How are botters able to verify multiple accounts so easily?
