Full Tilt Closes Accounts Of Bot Users

Several users violate Full Tilt Poker's Terms of Service using bots A headline that hit Poker News Daily reports recently was that online poker site Full Tilt Poker issued an email for a number of users, informing them of security measures they conducted in PokerTableRatings and other outlets, which resulted in discovery of several user violations of their Terms of Service, some of which were realized by using bots. Full Tilt's shut all the violators' accounts, and seized their funds, without specifying the number of banned accounts or the amounts they confiscated; still, the company guarantees to compensate for any player losses caused by the cheating, stating the following “For a number of reasons, we are unable to provide additional information regarding this case, including the players involved and the game type where it occurred.” Shanky Technologies' software release was exposed on this occasion, so the company, which also holds a website for sale of bots for a number of games (such as Omaha, No Limit Hold'em, as well as blackjack), issued a statement in which it apologizes to its users, adding that Full Tilt Poker “quite suddenly and without warning froze all the accounts… although it tolerated the presence of bots all this time.”
