As you can observe many sites use this trick to inflate the number of active users (major social networks sites also use this trick). In this sense, i have a question: What percentage (from of your experience) of poker players would you estimate to be bots in various poker sites?

The possibility of existence the bots on large sites is very high, but I think in the area of 1-3%. Recently there was a scandal at one of the biggest poker room.

Maybe talk about it can be a little delicate for you, because we are talking about a huge industry that moves billions. However, there was a misconception on your part. The question is the percentage of bots in poker sites. It's the old premise: Hard truths or comfortable lies? You choose.

Can anybody translate?

Anyway,there was no misconception. You asked us to estimate the percentage of players that are bots, my estimate is zero. You cant prove they exist any more than I can prove they dont.

Bot-tard is just another thing losing players have to blame, rather than their own ability (or lack of).

NOT true. You can prove it. Its been proven. And sites have admitted it. Its time to wake up people and demand sites like ACR and BCP (WPN) stop allowing them. Dont fool yourself into thinking they are not there. Though they are simple to beat so its not a matter of losers conspiracy.

You take the question to the personal side (maybe a better translation it's necessary, who knows), was not my intention. Anyway, i respect your opinion. Now, tell me more, Which program that you are trying defend that don't exist any trick?

i do not respect his opinion because it is thoughtless and rude, uninspired, unintelligent, and just plain wrong

I am refuting the existance of bot-tard.

Why do I think there is any program?

How would u ever prove that Theory there is bots, what would make u question there existence anyway, enough live players to fill the void in any tournament has a big enough pool or the tournament doesn't start at all, at least that's how it works on acr

I have read the pages in question.

At no point does the ACR rep admit they are/were bots, try re reading their comments properly, and not just what you want to read.

Both of you (Junkie and acid burn) are going on my ignore list. I have no interest responding to you further.

To be fair, I should have know better than to open a rigtard thread and expect a logical conversation.

good Im glad he left this convo and will never speak again on anything I say - will keep me from having to explain everything to him that he doesnt understand or refuses to believe or spend time researching...and plus do not have to see his childish photo posts meant to upset me - which I laughed at how childish it actually was - ok back to the thread....

Indeed mr, is not a secret that there are always players trying to abuse of the kindness of the website. This does not only happens with Americas Cardroom, but to big sites including Stars.

That is the reason all poker sites have a security department, to check for fraud. Although we try to get better tools to avoid these softwares, people will always try to find the breach.

As I mentioned before, we closed all the accounts reported and we also thanked the players that found the breach.

This is just like the 10 years old kid that found the Instagram bug! He is just a kid!

This only makes our security procedure more efficient and allow us to be better.

Everyone knows there are bots out there, just questionable as to whether a reputable site would actually plant them. Bots have been around since online poker started lol

It's certainly a possibility, but I doubt most of the popular sites use them.

Somewhere between 0-100% is a safe bet!

cant we just have the sites install a "I AM NOT A ROBOT" button that has to get hit once every 30 minutes at the table? Have it change positions too. Would solve everything

That is a brilliant idea and im sure with some tweaking would be a valid solution to stop bots... afterall there are plenty of people out there who design software and i think its impossible to stop bots completely without implementing some kind of security feature like this.
