Poker sites make huge amounts of money from the legitimate side of their business that they got 0 benefit to risk it all throwing bots into the games and lose everything if caught, once their reputation and trust is gone , it is game over for them, totally not worth it, players on the other hand are the ones who use bots, what are bots ? it is a piece of software that scans your screen for the open poker table and act on your behalf making decisions and pushing buttons for you, of course these bots are trained, they consume the GTO approach and play what is mathematically correct they dont adjust to players which with the huge volume these bots can put in turns to be very very profitable and fast, poker sites have different methods to catch these bots, for example the timing of clicking on different tables if its in micro seconds well that could be only a machine doing it, of course they wont scan every player they got in their pool, only the winning ones, i remember once i was playing on ACR where i dont play much and in just few days i hit like 5 FTs on the 6 tournaments i played it was crazy how hot i was running, in those 2 days i had 2 alerts, a window asking me to click in a certain point or give a certain reply to prove i wasnt a bot, of course these trained bots have no clue how to react to such thing that they are not trained for and will ignore it and that would raise more flags on the account ( i did ignore it and it popped up again not long after ) , but of course if somebody is supervising his machine would catch on these things and easily reply or even adjust his bot to send him notifications on his phone whenever such banners pop that they got no answer to and he could have even some sort of reaction prepared for exemple type back this text ' xxxx ' or click here, as for the timing to catch bots, those who create these arent dumb people they randomise their clicking in the tables within the range allowed between all tables to make it very hard to read into it, as poker sites comes with new solutions to fight bots the people creating them will get creative as well on their way to elude them , its part of the evolution of technology not only good people benefit from it... and now with AI we could even see bots replying in chat and joking from time to time to even throw the regulators off more..... and by the way bots are beatable thats what most poker pro players are doing on a daily basis as they got their own strategy that deviate from the GTO and confuse the bots a bit, there is a thing that most people seem to forget, 80% of players or so are losing players and i would dare to say in those 80% more than 70% it isnt the bots fault. just my personal opinion of course.
