I have a question I'm curious about. I know Stars will often times send a popup out and you have to reply with a certain word as a "bot check" when you're playing. Why doesn't FTP do anything similar? Do they really have no incentive to eliminate bots? Seems like they wouldn't as they're generating rake for FTP. I just happened to notice what seems like a large bot farm that someone is running. 12 hours a day every day, all start at the same time, all play the same way, all have the same bot score on PTR. It's really pretty strange and easy to spot. Which is why I thought FTP would have spotted it. Unless it's really just something else?

Rumours are that the very own ftp staff use a lot of bots to get more tables/tournaments filled, thus generating more money and rake.

its cool that ps does it and i agree that ftp should or atleast try something but i heard through the grapevine that cake network is the best when it come to bot detection.maybe its because of the lower number of players,not really sure.i too have noticed at certain ring games etc. that things just dont seem right and its time to switch tables.could be paranoia who knows?
