The online poker platform 888poker has taken substantial measures to address bots, leading to an unprecedented sum of money being reimbursed to users. The firm projects that it will have refunded close to $300,000 to players in 2022, partially attributed to investments in “ethical gaming technology.”
Automated bots, software designed to provide players with an unjust edge, pose a difficulty for all online poker providers. Nevertheless, 888poker has prioritized enhancing its detection methods and establishing a level competitive environment.
In the preceding year, the company executed several initiatives, including upgrading its surveillance software, enlarging its fair play staff, and employing data analysts and expert poker players to pinpoint bots and real-time assistance (RTA) programs.
These endeavors have already generated favorable outcomes. As of the current year, 888poker has refunded $80,858 to 1,390 players. Matan Krakow, 888poker’s Poker Product Manager, conveyed his appreciation to players for their backing and emphasized the company’s dedication to delivering a secure and equitable gaming experience.
Achieving our goals depends on two key factors: amplified investments in identification tools and the steadfast partnership and cooperation of our user base. The feedback we gather from players regarding potential artificial intelligence and real-time assistance employment is essential.
We are dedicated to guaranteeing poker remains enjoyable and equitable for all, and that necessitates heeding our players. It’s a core principle of our ‘Born to Play’ philosophy.”
