Illegal Poker Bot Wins Again
An email has been sent out to poker players outlining that Poker Bots are still being used on many online poker rooms, amid the recent media interest over Full Tilt Poker acting to ban accounts suspected of using them.
An email which has been sent out to all users who have downloaded a free trial of the poker playing robot software reveals that a large number of players lay claim that they were using their bots at the time that UB Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot broke this week, seeing a large number of players profit from their activity, winning $103 per table they were playing at.
The email explains that due to the reduced ability that floods the special Bad Beat tables whenever the jackpot amount reaches over $300,000, players were making a huge profit from their usage of the software, some players stating that they were using the ‘illegal’ software on up to four tables at the time that the jackpot was won.
Although no one has come forward to say that they were seated at the actual table in which the jackpot was unlocked, thoughts are that even if someone had been seated at the actual table and had received more winnings, they wouldn’t have been forthcoming to share the fact that they did so in the fear they could have the funds removed.
Bonus Bots, the company in which created the program claims that thousands of players have made tens of thousands at the tables from simply entering into $0.25/$0.50 tables that qualify within the Bad Beat Jackpot promotion.
The emails says that even by using the default profile in which is included with the software, players have been able to overcome loose players and earn a healthy bankroll during their time of using the software.
The latest reveal of poker bots winning within the online poker environment comes after Full Tilt Poker was named and shamed by a player who claimed to have won over $200,000 over the last 18 months at the site before his account was banned for using the software.
The player who made the claim also said that he felt that the worlds second largest online poker room must have known about his methods and said that they seemed to simply tolerate his usage due to the amount of rake that he was generating during his sessions, also adding that over the last 6 months of his time using the program, he had upped his usage by over 200%.
The news that poker bots are still being used to win poker players money is sure to rock a number of players who are thinking about taking a step into the online world of poker playing and could well deter a number from moving into the online industry from the live game in the fear that they are up against robots rather than a human player.
Online poker rooms are consistently trying to prevent software from being able to access their data feeds in order to kill poker bots completely but with the programming abilities of a number of developers on the internet today, it seems that the battle will remain ongoing for a number of years yet.
