QQPK has determined the payout procedure for those affected by bots
QQPK, where analysts identified over 11,000 bots, has announced its compensation payout procedure. The room has allocated $300,000 for this, to be distributed among 13,928 players affected by the offending accounts.
The operator also listed the conditions for receiving compensation:
🟣 Players must have taken part in MTTs over the past three months;
🟡 In a single hand, players were seated at the same table with two or more offending accounts;
🟣 Players incurred losses, i.e. their total buy-ins exceeded their total winnings.
The compensation amount will be determined by the platform based on an assessment of each player in the affected tournaments. Users will not need to file a claim for the payout — the funds will be credited to their gaming account.
These measures once again drew player discontent. Researcher MTT Database Review wrote:
"Bots win even if they're the only one at the table. Although, given that roughly 70% of your fields are made up of bots, having just one bot at the table is actually pretty rare.
Everyone should be compensated, not just the losers. The winners won less because of the bots. And what counts as an offending account? Does this refer to your list of 893 accounts or my list of 11,496?"
Other users also voiced frustration with the three-month time limit and raised the question of compensation for cash game players. QQPK has not responded to these complaints.
