Sweden’s state-owned gambling company, Svenska Spel, has announced it has
locked 14 of its poker accounts after discovering an alleged bot-based
cheating conspiracy that netted its perpetrators $1.8 over the past year.
However, most of the winnings came over the past 6 months at stakes of NL50
up to NL500.
Amazingly, Svenska Spel first became aware of possible poker-bot activity
around 4 months ago after a player reported suspicious activities by certain
online “players.” However, the company has now admitted it should have
been quicker reporting the matter to Swedish police and by the time the
police became involved just $108,000 of their stolen $1.8 million remained
in the accounts.
As well as the Swedish police now having launched a fraud investigation, the
Swedish Gaming Board has also become involved and Svenska Spel has said it
is expecting a “hard time answering detailed questions.”
Poker bots are unlawful computer programs that will automatically play
online poker for hours on end and have the advantage over humans in terms of
not suffering from fatigue or tilt. However, until recently, they did have
significant drawbacks in terms of not being able to read players, bluff or
adjust to an opponent’s strategy. A couple of years ago, Professor Tuomas
Sandholm from the poker research group at Carnegie Mellon University in
Pittsburgh, commented that poker bots “can rival good players, but not the
best — yet.”
After the latest high-profile incident in which the bots managed to win $1.8
million at stakes up to the medium level, it would now seem poker-bot
programmers have come a long way over the last few years.
Of course, when playing online its not just poker-bots you have to look out
for and the companies operating the sites must be continuously vigilant for
all sorts of nefarious activities. In 2010, for instance, PokerStars seized
49 accounts from Chinese players who had colluded to win $2 million from
their unsuspecting victims. | p******a 发帖数: 975 | 2 没想到现在的bot已经这么猛了……
像bovada这样不能看手牌记录的匿名网站,再加上zoom,简直就是bot的天堂啊 | f*****g 发帖数: 15860 | 3 if online sites cheat in dealing, i'm wondering how many/big "bad beats" hit
those bots, and how they still managed to cash out so much in such a short
period.
