I can't wait to Captcha a bot.

Joey has played so many hands of PLO that I would take his word for it. The downside of saying what he has that all the players that have been getting crushed now think they have been losing because of bots.. I just hope that ACR cleans stuff up so I feel better about putting money on there. I just don't understand why they have let the tournament loophole go for so long. That makes me a bit nervous that that has not been addressed by them right away. Been a problem for sometime.

These guys didnt want to hear it until it started costing them money. Now amazingly they want players to help police the cheating only after shunning one of their biggest supporters when he tried to help?
Is there a such thing as a skunk flavored fish? Reeks of both.

I love it
Would you rather just keep faith in their security department???
I love the idea of being able to captcha a bot. The thought of someone thinking I was a bot and captchaing me sounds very honoring. :rock:

I have zero faith in their security, as in I dont believe it exists.
Im with you though on the caption thingy......if it works........or if they respond to it. Sounds like a good idea in theory. Still takes them to be a willing partner on the other side though and that is where my faith falls short.

Regardless of this guy’s social network status or how popular he is etc, or anyone else for that matter, irrefutable evidence should be provided if you have it. What’s the point of saying you have hours of evidence without actually providing it?

Well that was 18 minutes of my life that I'm never getting back (I only watched the first one). I have little doubt that cheating is rampant in online poker. It's the only conclusion that makes any sense. I hope that ownership is doing everything it can to fight this, but that's a pipe dream. I hope this video, this guy, and others like him help to push the powers that be in the right direction. That doesn't excuse this video for being a piece of crap from an information, watchability, or entertainment perspective. This video, and thousands like it are why I don't watch YouTube. At about the 13 minute mark, I started thinking "Sasquatch" in my head whenever he said "'Bot". That made it interesting for a few seconds: "they're out there, but they're NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!".
Joey Ingram told me that you think like a 'Bot. Are you Eastern European??? :viking:
You are obviously not a 'Bot. Unless that's what you want us to think, hmm...... :icon_scra

Joey has played a ungodly amount of online poker hands. Hell once he played 50,000 hands in 24 hours. If anyone would be able to notice something shady it would be him. I am pretty sure everyone is aware of the tourney loop hole thats been going on forever. I just hope ACR at some point soon steps up to the plate so I feel better about sending them money on there site. Most of the bots where in High stakes PLO I have seen some talk about bots in low stakes. Sorry when there are accounts that never stop playing or playing 75% of the day something is up.. Also there have been accounts that where 60-70% ITM in tourneys which is just not real. Once again tourney loophole.. I think sites that catch bots should ban those people for life. Harsher punishment is needed for these guys so internet poker is not ruined or looses trust with us players.

This is very well put.
I will never make a deposit there. Even if they "fix" their problems they cannot be trusted, The attitude his CEO has taken against Joey says it all, he fukkin new all along.

I think there is always going to be cheaters at poker, especially on poker online, but its up to players to try to stop them. If you play with real money you need to keep track of who you play with, to try to avoid being cheated, if you notice something suspicious and think you are being cheated stop playing with those players and report it to customer service so they can investigate and stop those players from cheating other players. If you notice you're being cheated and you don't report them then they'll keep cheating other players and get away with it.

Only in a utopia, reporting cheaters would result in serious action. Only an insider whistle blower will bring on any serious action.
There are many examples of the heads of many other companies in other industries who knew of wrongdoings within their company for years and did nothing. Recent examples that come to mind are Volkswagen’s fake emission results to pass environmental requirements, or Wells Fargo’s fake account scandal. Human greed is a powerful innate force and will almost always be the winner in the moral battles between right and wrong.
The best thing anyone can do to fight this, is simply stop playing at any suspected cheating sites. Accusations and weak short time frame evidence will do nothing to these guys. We need to hit them where it hurts the most: their pockets. Enough people stop playing at these sites=less traffic=less rake=less profits=dead company.

ACR / WPN seems to have made some positive changes to late registration, and players have reported that they are having to complete Captcha-style tests recently to prove that they are not a bot.
But WPN has said very little publicly about allegations of widespread cheating. Due to this lack of responsiveness, another poker forum has decided to close WPN's sponsored sub-forum, and stop running ads from WPN skins. The decision is presented in this Publisher's Note:
https://www.twoplustwo.com/magazine/issue159/
I don't have any inside information about this situation. But it's never a good sign when reputable businesses decide they don't want your money anymore.
WPN's lack of communication with players and poker media about this issue is puzzling and troubling. I wonder if this could this also lead to changes in CardsChat's relationship with WPN.
