ACR $10 Freerolls Riddled With Bots

There is a massive presence of bots on ACR freerolls. At first I just thought there were a few, and I alerted ACR to the screen names. They did nothing to remove the obvious bots.

Tonight I watched one of the freerolls all the way through, and 7 of out 10 on the final table were bots, including all 3 of the final players. It was very interesting, yet very, very boring watching them. They did absolutely nothing human-like. They never pre-selected their actions, they always took lots of clock on every single move. They never called. They never bluffed. They never list their country. On sharkscope, they have an unbelievable amount of tournaments in a short time. Several of them had exactly 41 tournaments as their max for the day. Many of them play in the exact same tournaments, including exactly the same last 10, which even included one $.10 buy-in game. Their stats are almost all the same, too. It's pretty incredible. A couple of them joined on the same day last year and have exactly the same number of tournaments played. A lot of them are bunched around similar join dates.

I'm not sure if they are sharing cards, but I'd be surprised if they don't. It's very obviously completely mathematical. Kind of scary to think what will become of these things. Will they or have they already infiltrated higher games?

So do you want me to contact you here and give you a long list of names? By PM or whichever would work best?

Why, because this is old news, or because you think I'm crazy?

I've just come back to poker, so maybe I'm a little slow on noticing this, but it is rampant. It's kind of like playing a video game where you get one life, but your opponent gets 30, 40, 80, 120, I don't know, a lot though, of lives. They don't care if they get into flips with each other because there are so many of them, a few will always rise to the top of the tournament.

I'm just wondering who is running these computer players. Let's see: means, motive, opportunity -- all the aspects of a crime. Man, there are just cheaters everywhere -- it is sick.:mad:

No - because if someone had the skills to put bots in a poker game the likelihood they would have them sitting in a $10 sng is pretty close to zero. :)

It doesn't take any skills to put a bot in, online casinos have them right when you log in trying to get a deposit off you then when you reply the other rep was "that was a bot" there is NO skill in placing bots

I can see any number of reasons.
Maybe you want to give the bots a trial run to see how well the program works.
Maybe you want the bots to build a bankroll playing freerolls and micros so you only have to put in a minimal deposit.
If you throw $500 or $1000 on for every bot and jump right into mid and large stakes games you could easily draw attention and risk having all that money confiscated if the site catches on.
Assuming the program works then just putting on $10 or $20 and playing freerolls and micros to start with 5 or more bots could accumulate a good bankroll in short order as they would never get tired or distracted and the risk for the person behind the bots is minimal, and after the first cashout it's all gravy, even if they eventually get caught.

That's the point. They haven't been able to accumulate even $10 because they are still playing freerolls.
So the program doesn't work...

Which is what dakota-xx said.

I can't believe OP actually sat around watching and taking notes in these freerolls for hours, even days.

What you're most likely experiencing are players with multiple accounts, not bots. ;)

Neither nor. I dont know for sure but is so hard to get to the final 10 in those ACR $10 free rolls, that I am ready to buy any theory. And they keep them running all day so is very strange. :angel:

Do U think that maybe the reason these bots are at such a low stake is that possibly so nobody will notice?

Do U think there is any possibility that the reason bots are used in that low of a freeroll is that the perpetrator thinks there is a very strong chance people won't notice or try to find out if they are a bot?
