Head of 888Poker, Amit Berkovic said, “We are proud of our continued progress in tackling bots that use software to create an unfair advantage over real-life players.”
“We know that online poker players see bots as a concern when choosing their online poker platform, and we are proud to be leading the way in cracking down to ensure that 888poker provides an enjoyable, safe, and level playing field for all.”
The operator is following in the footsteps of partypoker and WPN, and has committed to monthly monitoring of bot activity on the site.

Staring November 14th, The Big Rewind – 20 tournaments with added prizes.
The Eagle Cup is back at Global Poker for a 5th time, and the Sweeps Coin prizes are bigger than ever.
Global Poker is running a massive series right now, as the Eagle Cup returns for the 5th time. There are more than 1.5 million Sweeps Coins (SC) guaranteed up for grabs across 102 trophy events.
Games for the Eagle Cup V are already underway on the client, with the first action in the series running on October 25. However, there is plenty of action left, as games in the Cup are running through Nov 14. The series comes to an end with a huge Main Event with SC200,000 guaranteed.
This latest edition of the Eagle Cup is more than triple the size of the first one and has an extra SC300,000 guaranteed over the last time the Cup ran. Further, the Main Event is less than half the cost with double the guarantee versus the last series.
Global Poker runs a “sweepstakes” model for online poker, which is free to play. The SC games, however, offer Sweeps Coins as prizes, which are redeemable for cash (see our full guide for more details).
In addition to the main Eagle Cup V series for SC, there is also a play-money Gold Coin series. Gold Coins aren’t redeemable for real money, but there are GC750 million of them guaranteed in the fun side-series.
Players will be playing for more than just the individual prizes, however. There will also be leaderboards for both series and Global Poker swag for players through the series.
The series features a dozen events spread over Saturday and Sunday, with the PokerStars Ontario $100 Sunday Special guaranteeing CAD $42,000 for the winners.
The series consists of 30 events with very affordable buy-ins, big guarantees, and added prizes that include tickets to upcoming live PokerStars tournaments.
Kade was thrilled to receive the news and pledged to share a portion of her future winnings with her Twitter followers and one of her favorite charity organizations.
There is a selection of scheduled MTTs across all buy-in levels at PokerStars Ontario for anyone looking to enter the New Year in a true grinder fashion.
The lucky winner was selected from 70 entries and revealed on the special episode of The Grind podcast, a poker show that inspired this unique competition.
The Winter Series at PokerStars Ontario will run for 16 days straight and offer just shy of $1.4 million in guaranteed prizes across a range of buy-in levels.
A PokerStars US multi-state online poker network is now just weeks away, assuming a “necessary milestone” — a 48-hour software upgrade — goes smoothly.
WSOP Ontario features loads of great tournaments this weekend, including the $1050 GG Masters HR Winter Freezout with $150k GTD and one ring up for grabs.
