I have played the sleepyberry account and won a decent sum versus him. I never felt I was playing a superuser and thought he was an especially bad player (just like every other player that I played against from Turkey/Iran). Sleepyberry is for sure a losing player. Also his patterns of playing were consistent with that of a run of the mill recreational fish.

Claims like this pull attention from the bot situation which there is plenty of concrete proof of. Just because it may or may not be possible to have a 3rd party superuser is not a constructive converstation. I have played huge volume on WPN and never felt that I was being cheated by a superuser. There is evidence of collusion in MTTs as well as bots across all formats besides stud and hilo games and those are probably what needs to be focused on. At least one high stakes MTT regular disclosed to me that he colludes with his friends in MTTs and he is still playing on the site. The cavalier manner in which he mentioned sharing "blockers" amongst friends led me to believe that this is widespread. I don't know that there is some magical solution to dealing with collusion in MTTs as it is much harder to prove without seeing cards at showdown. This would be a task for WPN security to deal with and I don't know how aggressively they monitor or combat collusion. If it is anything like how they police bots it is most likely severely lacking. I've always believed that there existed a code of honor amongst professional players and I guess I was naiive to assume so.

Did you even bother reading or following the conversation before typing all of that? It would have helped, and you would have realized I was just replying to Phil's interview.

You have a point .... but I am online constantly anyway and keep 2+2 open. Between other matters, I open the window.

I'd probably better spend the time just reading for the content I seek out, but never responding ...

That is all true, but so is what I said. There are always technological and other developments that take a while to be accepted. A lot of people aren't ready to go to the store in a autonomous car.

This is even more true with bitcoin, because acceptance isn't the only problem. A large percentage of people don't even know what it is. From there to acceptance is a pretty big jump.

So, those folks deposit in a more traditional manner and are available to be educated.

The gaming use case is pretty good, especially multi-nationally.

They programmed that refund software hella fast, if only they were that fast at coding other broken/needed things.

I also read it as 1,000s not dollars... I don't see the point in listing fractions of pennies when the account balance/withdrawals don't allow that precision.

Perhaps the absurd fraction is to make it seem more legit......

I honestly believe this was done on purpose..at first I thought wow I am just n idiot..while this is true I think this may have been done on purpose look how many thought they had X amount..and logged in

I don't think they realize how affected players were from this and these pointless refunds are just needling at this point and affecting my day and honestly I would prefer not to be insulted by these fractions of cents bS refunds

Refunds are pointless bc they are from years ago ? I haven’t acr to much recently

So If someone was using a bot and won a million, probably cashed it out long ago, now they find out it’s a bot 5 years later seize the 1k left in the account and disrupute it ?

It’s probably some stupid decimal now bc all players are splitting only a % of what’s left

I believe they are capping the payouts to $25,000 per banned account. Players effected by that account then get a percentage of that $25,000 max based on how they were effected.

When Phil mentioned that arbitrary cap on the podcast I found it very confusing. Phil knows absolutely nothing about how to police such a thing so he refers to the gaming commission. The literature they have must be archaic so he starts challenging Joey "you show me where the commission says how betting should be handled."

Then it hit me

ACR is white nighting saying "hey look at all these accounts we banned and all this money we are refunding, aren't we great???!!!"

The only problem is their detection methods seem to be the ones detecting the worst/broken bots (and let's face it, they're just looking at lists of suspected bots that are provided to them), and they dont have any interest in actually figuring out who is owed what. As Phil asked Joey, you tell me where it says how much we have to refund? He seems to think this number is obviously zero and set this 25k cap per account again to be like "hey look at me I dont have to refund anything and I'm refunding 25k per bot I find! Gee I hope theres not thousands of bots because 25k times thousands is a lot!"

Come on Phil you're a CEO, part of the job is you have to solve problems you might know nothing about. Joey is very sorry he hurt your feelings, fire the 24/7 security and hire someone with a clue.

Well during that podcast Phil did say they were contacting players that were suspected of being bots, so I don't think it is exactly how you are describing it. As far as the amount of refund, he was pretty up front and saying the company had to put a limit on the refund because A. they don't know what their liability will be at the end IE, they dont know how many bots are out there and B. They don't currently have the cash flow to pay out everything.

While I understand the "you have to start somewhere" idea, prudent business decisions are typically not ones that have a potential to bankrupt the company. One would think the appropriate answer would be to focus on identifying active bots and seizing funds before they are able to get the money off.

$25k payout means that the botters have stolen more than that. There are some other bots that only paid about $2500 total.
