Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

Hey All,
I must be the first or at least I hadn't heard of it before. I was 4 tabling Party while on tonight just trying to clear the bonus and, Bammm, out of no where comes one of those verification windows with the strange curvy letters asking me to enter them to continue.

I did it the first time but I was so surprised that I musta have done it wrong because I got another one immediately after.

Can you imagine this, right in the middle of your four table game and with no e-mail or reason from them like:

"thanks for obliging our security team to-night as you were playing so consistently that we thought that you were a Robot"
or
"One of those Whoooo Haaaa's out there said Hi to you and when you didn't say hi back he reported you as an Alien Bot"

"Ohhh yeah and just for letting us break into your game and keep it honest, hears an extra $25 on us"

Yeah right

But seriously folks this is a true story, wish I would have had the foresite to quick do a print screen but was worried about timing out.

They should at least give you some warning, I was totally flipping out... Thought the FBI was there looking over my shoulder [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Happened to me too.

Freaked me out.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

This is probably because of that winholdem program.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

That's good to hear buit somebody could still use a bot as long as they "babysit" it.

Are you guys for reals?

It happened to me too, I dont have a bot or winholdem.

Was running playerview and pokertracker and nothing else, 4 tabling and the box came up. Think its more likel playerview than winholdem.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

no bots here

Although if someone slid me the code for autohotkey so I could just instantly fold all tables that didn't meet preflop specs....

This is the thread that tells me to go to bed now (4:56 AM EST) after just finishing clearing BONUSJUN. Good stuff. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

Just curious, what happen's if you don't answer quick enough, do they send out the goon squad or what.

Cause I can see this happening, to many tables going and not fill the box quick enough.

Looks like they're cracking down.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

I'm personally glad they are doing this. I would hate for bots to overrun anything. Although I imagine a bot would be able to verify this thing too, no?

Was this on actual Party, or a skin?

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

I'm sorry, but did you think your post would be funny?

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

He thought it would be informative, and wanted to keep us in the know about what Party is doing to crack down on bots.

Did you think people would care if you didn't laugh? Get some more posts before you can have an opinion here.

Wow. I've been here longer than you have and I guess I missed that rule in the T&C.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

You can circumvent that rule by not being an [censored].

Screenshots from anyone would be appreciated for verification purposes.

This is good news.

Lets say someone writes a bot that can beat 30/60 - would be very lucrative, could just let it run and stay in front of the PC or hire someone to do so, problem solved.

Yeah, right. Because after making the 1000 opinion-free me-too, dumb question and fluff posts you require, he'll SURELY have opinions worth listening to.

Too many people have nothing going for them but a 4- or 5- digit post count, and people making a LOT of posts a day, often aren't making very substantial posts. It'd be like saying that any kook who writes 10 letter a day to the President should be a senior policy advisor.

And yeah, I'm a relative newb. Not proud of it, but it'll change.

You're right. It's much better not to struggle against bots.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

Do you guys actually think there is that many working bots out there?

No there are are probably not.

That is not to say that this is still not a good thing though. Party needs to stay ahead of this as much as possible.

The question you should ask is should you care that there are many bots on these sites. Most of the bots are horrible and I don't mind playing against them/it. Now... if someone had a bot like Poki then I would be scared...

Suck it up. This is +EV for us all.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

Probably not - this type of verification relies on pattern recognition (you're shown a picture and you have to recognize the shapes as letters) which is a hard problem in AI.

No, Party just wants to mess around with its customers.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

Interesting. Does Party stop pestering you after a while if you've used the same account for a long time?

Hard to say as they just started pestering people late last night.

Re: Party Probed my Bott, 2X Ouch, You\'ll never believe this
 

If this is true it would be a very very good thing... provided they dont do it for every table you are on and just one at a time for every skin.
