I thought I was going crazy, happened to me three times last 72 hours, ACR told me they would refund me, I then received an email I was mistaken and money wasn't missing. Wtf? Couple hundreds

beast winners last week had 45k to 52k points for the top 2500 prize

previous 4 or 5 weeks has been 25kish to 30k

I am completely ignorant of what you are talking about, perhaps you are serious in that it really helps prevent bots. But that is literally the only thing that could be said positive about it, and it's hardly even a great trade off with how damned annoying it is to try to see the chip amount.

noticed the same thing today, thought to myself "yeah someone didn't think that through"

Hi regarding the talk of 'fuzzy' graphics on the Pot size and bet amount numbers

This is how everyone sees it now?

Would love to hear from someone if they don't have this fuzz-- Just trying to determine if I have some type of hardware incompatibility

mine looks the same

Funny that after graphics of the pot and bets was changed, some very high volume regs at blitz decided to take a little "vacation". And we have 50 people instead of 100 in blitz pools

There is no need for "anti-screen scraping" when simple statistical analysis will suffice. People like lolzgod have repeated the canard that there the bots have not been able to update to the new WPN software. The types of bots that have not been able to work on the new software are not the ones that ever were a problem. It may very well be the case that WPN really wants to eliminate these types of bots that compete with the hyper aggressive NL/PLO bots with Eastern Bloc locations that there is numerous threads and hundreds of posts about. I believe it is likely there is an arrangement with WPN and the bot operators to allow them free reign on the network and it would make sense if they strived to ban the competition. That being said not a single account has been banned in over 5 months at any format. The night they introduced the fuzzy graphics there was multiple 6max PLO tables with 4 bots on them so it was not an effective measure. Pokerstars got rid of this PLO bot back in 2016 without making the bet and pot size fonts unreadable, so why can't WPN do that?

The few times blitz plo50 ran there were no bots present. Maybe one of the NL regs like veggies can chime in on the NL blitz because AFAIK there is no evidence for any bots at NL blitz either.

How many hands per bot you reckon is sufficient to get a simple statistical analysis? 50K hands?? If your solution is to wait for them to play thousands of hands against us to get statistical evidence... i rather them putting dots in the bet background. lol

1k hands. The dots are not effective as I already explained. Many tables had 3-4 bots after the dot update came out. The captchas also were not effective but people applauded the pathetic "effort" by "security".

The bots are still playing currently at PLO. Dots are not doing a thing.

Current 2k Breast Cancer Awareness Tourney, ($1,493 overlay) 3 hours 56 minutes in, 15 big blind average stack, and not even in the money yet. Jesus

If by "Bots" you mean "Russians" you might need to reconsider your bot definition criteria (Every Russian at any table is a bot, according to yourself).

WarBot already posted that they pulled off acr because of the background. What else you want?

Lol, really? That is a helluva great first post only surpassed by your grasp of botting.

Lies.

The bot you mentioned stopped support for WPN a long time ago it wasn't because of the dots. I am pretty sure this bot was never even profitable. When I talk of bots I am talking about serious highly aggro bots that play a very unique strategy that is not played by any human regulars. Myself and others have presented stats of these accounts in many threads and posts.

Yeah, you can see here that the guy who is behind an operation not willing to do anymore changes to support the bot

***Mod Edit: Removed link to botting site and replaced with text of posts in question.

And this is supposed to prove what? The bots that are stealing millions from players every year on WPN are not going anywhere because of a captcha or making the fonts unreadable. Toughie is playing right now at PLO100. This is the most blatantly obvious bot in the world.

I am not saying it proves anything. I don't play PLO so it's hard for me to say anything about bots there.

Let me guess... "TOUGHIE" is Russian, isn't? post his stats then, what made him such an evident bot then? I mean show that you can prove beyond xenophobic grounds that such player is a bot.

This is going to be good.

The bot Toughie plays the same stats as these accounts:

Here are the stats they play:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...h4E/edit#gid=0

Not all of these accounts have a Russia location. The location was never part of my logic for accusing the accounts. One of these accounts has a Thailand location, all of the others are former Eastern Bloc locations.

"Toughie" and the other 100 accounts above are the same bot that was banned from pokerstars in 2016 after research was done and collected in this thread. The stats are the same.
Interestingly enough none of the pokerstars bot accounts had a USA location either! Must have been a bad case of xenophobia.

I hope your account is banned because I am sick of WPN sockpuppet BS posts on here accusing me of saying stuff that I never did. I never once said all Russian accounts are bots or an account was a bot because it was from Russia because only a subhuman would say such things.

Over the past year only one person has ever said things like you are posting now. The tournament director of WPN.

I think WPN will be dead by 2020. Good luck everyone!

No stats of Toughie are listed in that Document

I am not associated to ACR, if that is what you are suggesting.

As long as they have Beast and rakeback/loyalty, it won’t die. Too many degens out there chasing that $$$.

I would be happy to wager against you on that prognostication.

They are the same as the accounts in the spreadsheet.

Maybe it is just a coincidence that you are using the same logic and arguments that I have only heard one person use in my life to defend the bots, WINNING_TD. He laughed at me and implied that I had no idea what I was talking about when I showed him evidence of the bots last November.

Just for clarification, there are many legitimate Russian/European players on WPN and I have never denied that.
