Do I think Pokerstars are using Bots to steal my money? No! Not in a million years, and why is that? Because I have no money for them to steal, Sure I play a lot of Poker, but most of the time I play free-rolls, so how would they make money stealing from themselves?
Pokerstars is probably one of the biggest
poker sites in the world They would not risk their reputation by stealing a few cents here and there, They don't need to because they have enough professional players playing in high stake games, who are sponsored by Pokerstars. and take a portion of their winnings while the rest goes back into the company. Why do you think Poker sites pay Pros like Chris Moneymaker and Chris Ferguson, and a lot more besides, sponsorship deals to promote their sites.
It gives the wannabe's a chance to play against the Worlds best players, for huge amounts in prize money, in games they would not normally play, So why would they risk killing the Golden Goose that make them so much money? They wouldn't.
Any player who uses Bot software, could in fact steal more money from sites like Pokerstars, by beating the Professional Sponsored players, and making a small fortune from them, and that is why they have inbuilt security systems to identify these players and stopping them before they can.
You need ask yourself, how much more are the sites going to lose if they were investigated and found to be corrupt, the fines and compensation they would have to pay out would be Astronomical, and would probably bankrupt them, So in my view Pokerstars are not using Bots and are in fact spending a fortune to ensure that their site is protected and safe for everyone to play.
When the fun Stops STOP!
