How bot-proof is your poker room?

A question that I would like to ask anybody reading this article is “what do you think is the major different between the poker that is played today and the poker that used to be played about ten years ago?” Definitely the answer can only be one. Today if you visit any online poker room you will realize that poker bots have taken over playing poker instead of real people playing. This has made the thrill that used to be in the game to go down by a great margin because people do not use their intelligence and skills to play any more, they just have to depend on computer programs to do the job for them.

Anti-bot movements

Online poker rooms which want to retain the tradition of people playing against themselves have launched a campaign to kick out poker bots out of the poker rooms. This has been received positively by the majority of poker players who do not believe in machines playing on their behalf. People who mainly employ the use of poker bots are the type of people who do not think that they can be able to win a fair poker game without help. Because getting help any other way in a game of poker is quite difficult, they opt to employ the help of poker bots.

More and more poker rooms should join the ones already practicing poker bot ban in order to try and return the dignity of this interesting game. People who gamble are known to have a high capacity of reasoning. Although you might not be born with this ability, you can train yourself by playing a game of poker every now and then. If you decide to use poker bots then you will not have made any difference at all.

Bot blitzed rooms

Bots have become very common in modern day poker and many players tend to play using them. Frequent advertisements of poker rooms in the market lure even people who have never played poker into playing the game in the belief that their bots will definitely make them some money. Some poker rooms do not condone the use of bots and lay down strict rules to discourage the practice. In the case that an individual is caught using poker bots, he may be ejected from the site and all his or her deposits and earnings confiscated.

Some poker rooms on the other hand encourage the use of bots and even go as far as offering commissions to companies which sell the software. Winning by poker bots is not guaranteed and the contrary is just a fallacy. Some of the poker rooms that do not condone the use of bots include fulltiltpoker.com and fulltiltpoker.net. A player caught using bots in either of these rooms is immediately removed from the site. Many players are opting to go out for real physical games rather than playing online which has proved difficult to detect bots.

Games where bots are rife

The regularly played games using bots include Texas Hold ‘em and Omaha Hi. Some poker rooms do not really condone or tolerate the use of bots. They tend to let people do what they feel. Such include allstar.com and betdirect.com. Websites such as PokerBotBasics completely condones the use of bots and many players in this site use bots against each other. This website goes as far as trying to advocate for other poker rooms to allow the use of bots. However, they insist that poker rooms should come out and let the players know which tables consist of bots and which ones are purely humans.

This way, players can make a fair decision as to whether they would like to compete against the automated system of against other players. Such poker rooms completely advocate for the use of bots. They go as far as advertising bots in their own websites. Their aim of getting people to use bots is to ensure that players are constantly playing the game. In turn, they end up making their commission and increasing profits. It has been repeatedly revealed that poker bots have unique serial codes which can be detected by the most primitive of poker rooms and as such, poker rooms which pretend not to tolerate bots but keep on saying they are doing their best to curb the habit are in real sense just turning a blind eye towards the situation.

Spotting a botter

Besides, certain methods can be used to detect players using bots. Naturally, a player cannot play for days on end winning a good percentage of total games played. Poker rooms also have the capability of detecting players who play at more than one table at a time. This should raise eyebrows and lead the management to investigate if they surely do have an intention of stopping the use of bots. Some of the best online poker sites that protect players from bots include Titan Poker, Sportsbook Poker, Full Tilt Poker, Players Only Poker and Pacific Poker.
