Player complains about the abundance of bots in GGPoker leaderboards
Player "Shad2y" in a blog on GipsyTeam complained about the abundance of bots on GGPoker. According to him, such accounts have flooded the leaderboards in Rush&Cash. They use monotonous nicknames and stay in the race right until the very end, which makes it much harder for regular players to hold on to their positions.
Shad2y also described the behavior pattern of one of these accounts with the nickname "Mysti View", which suddenly changes strategy mid-session:
"A person plays 5 hours in the race, is in first place with a 200-point lead, plays with 18% VPIP and default sizings. Disappears from the tables for 2 minutes, comes back, and now he already has 31% VPIP. Naturally, he gives up the top-1 spot, grinds until night, drops to 5th-6th place in the leaderboard, and then shows up again with 18% VPIP, which quickly catches up to everyone and passes them."
Shad2y also complained that the numerous reports about such accounts are simply ignored.
Player "Techie" said that accounts with the nicknames mentioned by the blog's author sometimes play simultaneously at the same 9-max tables. However, in his opinion, they don't look like ordinary bots and don't fight for leaderboard spots.
As for complaints, the most effective approach is contacting the room's English-language support via e-mail. After that, suspicious accounts were banned quickly.
"Eltraho" reported a similar situation in PLO at stakes from $0.25 to $1/$2, where accounts like these disappear after winning the leaderboards. To change the situation, he suggests collecting nicknames in a common thread and filing mass complaints to the security department.
