pokerstars thinks im a bot?

i was playing 5nl holdem, and about an hour into the game and $5 up, i got a message on chat box telling me i had 100 seconds to type in a captcha....i typed it in and everything was ok.....has this happened to anyone else?

Yeah, its just a security feature that they randomly impose.

Cheers man, I was shitting myself trying to type it in haha

never heard bout that, but its just awesome and really shows they do some to prevent such things guess it is therefor xD what happens if you dont make it with the typing you need?

That happened to me too long time ago, when i was multitabling mtts and sngs...two times LOL

Yes me too. Couple times a long time ago (when I used to actually play poker instead of just spamming on CC)

Happened to me today. Was tempted to let it time down to see what happened but I thought I'll only live to regret it lol.

@pokerorifice pipe down mate, if I want to spam I shall

Lol I think I only had about ten seconds left as I ignored it while playing a hand....then I typed furiously haha...yeah thinking about it, its deffo a good thing, might catch all the russian bots

Yeah seen this before when my buddy was playing, good security feature in my opinion, wonder what happens if u dont type it in.????

you can try see next time if you get that message :rofl: maybe they will just lock you up until you have confirmed or typed it xD

I've had it several times, only a hand full of times. Funnily enough, I had one only a week ago, before that it was like a year ago. As everyone says, just a security feature.

Nits must get it all the time haha
