Fair Gaming Enforced
In a remarkable move for fairness and integrity in online poker, 888poker has announced the recovery and redistribution of $362,893 to players who were unfairly defeated by AI poker bots and Real-Time Assistance (RTA) technology in 2023. This decisive action showcases 888poker’s commitment to providing a level playing field for all its players.
A Robust Anti-Bot Campaign
Throughout 2023, 888poker’s vigilant efforts led to the identification and blocking of 161 accounts that utilized AI bots or RTA, violating the platform’s fair gaming policy. This effort is part of an ongoing campaign against unfair gaming practices, with the total amount refunded to players since 2021 now exceeding $1.2 million.
Innovative Detection and Community Involvement
The success in detecting these bots is credited to 888poker’s sophisticated and innovative detection methods. However, the involvement of the poker community has been equally crucial. Players’ cooperation in reporting suspicious activities has been instrumental in identifying rule violators.
888poker emphasized the importance of community feedback and expert advice in this endeavor.
“We’re consulting with advisors for analyzing hand histories and detecting non-human patterns. The feedback suggests that 888poker is leading the industry in ensuring a clean and safe playing environment,”
