There is no security team. I wouldn't suprised if WPN has their own hosts that directly liason with the bot operators and make sure they get preferential treatment. Like for example the massive dividend they were paid in April/May last year when the "refunds" were issued.
Cannuli is an interesting character, his streams were entertaining, but he only streams when he is winning which he seems to have stopped lately. Something about him seems untrustworthy with the way he talks and is always just rambling nonsense it seems like, as well as lying about his losses I'm pretty sure. I saw his stacks on the ratholes and saw them dwindle (maybe wrong but I was playing everyday when he built his big stacks up and was railing as well as playing a few times) , while he was saying he reset them.

I Dont think you could say he's a bad person though, obviously not winning enough and looks like he is living at home... Would be nice to see him do well if not only just for the entertainment of his playing style.

Not sure about the other guys though.

i think the most disturbing thing about the syndicate is that they do almost nothing to avoid detection, freely allowed to fill ring games without any consequences. if they can get away with owning all lobbies and winning all rake races than the automation of card sharing would be a logical step to progress the profit of the bots.
For PLO cash it's definitely far less than 99%+. I have played with hundreds of accounts that are from bot regions that play fish stats or reg stats. At high stakes there are many European players that are known pros on WPN.

Almost all of the "pennyhill" family of bots are from former Eastern Bloc countries. There has been at least one notable exception with a Thailand location that popped up last year. If we exclude this account we can say that having an Eastern Bloc location is a necessary but not sufficient condition to establish an account is a bot. Put another way, ~all bots accounts have Eastern Bloc locations, but not all Eastern Bloc location accounts are bots.

Is Jeff Boski really a bad person? Because he sponsored by acr?

I remember seeing him on a joeingram show where they talked about the bot problem and they joked about the t shirt I think it was of Jeff with the acr logo...

Plus it would be funny that since he was on the Postle case so much and u know still pointing the finger at Postle.

I played on ACR for 4-5 periods over the last 3 yrs and noticed all the referenced activities above, weird results, having one or two names follow me, etc. .. so I quit.

I was a beta-tester on PokerStars in late 2001 ( my wife discovered the site actually ) and I played there happily until Black Friday and came away whole. ACR could have been PS V2.0, a money machine that US players would flock to in today's mess . But with all the problems recited herein I wonder 'Why would the owner kill the golden goose'. Why let it get overrun and run down?

The more I read here the more I'm of the opinion that he was given no choice. He's forced to defend/ignore the situation. Read into that what you will. Get your money out.

I bet it's the shortsightedness like all the politicians have.
F tomorrow I wanna live now and don't care what's the long term outcome.

Aren't they illegal in the first place?
Stars, party and all the sites pulled out because it was banned. (Still is) wondered anyways how they could pull this off. Guess it's the f it mentality or the siteowners that got them operating and now pull out as much money as possible. Thinking we aren't legal anyways ,f it ,why be ethical let's have some bots play?

I know he has others playing for him. When I logged on a few months back to **** talk the rail in a cash game I was attacking him to see if he would chat.
The dude said “he’s at the airport. Why the hate?” Or something like that.
Either way confirmed he wasn’t playing. Not that I give a ****.
I don’t trust WPN. And I def think they have shills playing for the house.

I don't cover offshore sites, but saw this pop up on my Twitter feed today. Will post here since it's current and (began with) Phil Nagy calling out PokerStars.

Online poker is a joke now, for all we know ACR might have in hous bots. Online regulations is needed and I hope segregation is here to stay.

You guys nailed it.

It is truly a shame and depressing what is happening to a classic American pastime.

wow this thread went from a lack of evidence to full blown season of x-files in 2 seconds.. i thought this was a serious bot thread discussion not some 'i assume' fest.

let me break that down for you before you embarrass yourself more:

They operating illegal in American <- FACT

if they can break one rule what makes you think they won’t break more. <- ASSUMPTION

im not even defending anybody, this is just basic language skills.

Also I never said they have in house bots for sure, I said they might. That is a possibility. English isn’t even my first language.
And you didn’t even answer my question or scenario.

It seems to me that it was actually a question. One you avoided answering by trying to play linguist.

Bot infestation is still out of control. Nagy spoke to me on skype and we agreed to have an interview set up, and we set up a specific time for a call to set "ground rules" back in January. Nagy did not show up for the call at the agreed time.
