Hello guys,

I wished i ve had registered here under other circumstances.
On 25 July i started my daily sng session at 888.
After a while in the middle of my game the poker client kicked me out and when i tried to log in again i got a message that my account was temporarily disabled and contact support.
I also received the following email from cassava:

Dear xxx,

This is the Operations Team at 888poker and we are contacting you with regards to your account with username "xxx".

As you may be aware we carry out security checks on all of our members at some point during their membership with us. During a security check on your account we have been alerted to suspicious game play indicating that the use of Artificial Intelligence may be involved.

They re claiming my "game play indicating that the use of Artificial Intelligence may be involved." Does that mean im a bot?
Well how can that be true?

I do use hm2 hud during play.
In the past i was also using placemint.
Since a couple of months i ve been using 888Caption2 and activated 1 month trial version recently.
In their site they say 888Caption is officially approved.
Does anyone know if that has changed since then?
I don't think any of these programs is forbidden or considered using "Artificial Intelligence".

I stack my tables and with x key as a check/fold hotkey, many times i ve caught myself folding preflop big pocket pairs(that time when you want to cut your finger).
And its not just my idea, my database proves this.
Would a bot ever misclick ffs?
Also i don't even consider myself a good player, still learning the game.
A break even/slightly winning player.
So this accusation about "Artificial Intelligence" came out of the blue.
I want to mention that i have disabled the chat box and never type or read anything.
So i guess someone got mad and reported me (?).

I got really upset about this, i ve been playing there for about a year and slowly moving up in the limits.
I have already emailed them but no response yet, today i sent another detailed email.

What do you guys think?
Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you for your time.

You say you are a slight winning/breakeven player, learning the game, and have $800 in your account after playing for just over a year. :f_wink: What stakes have you been playing as a slight winner? For someone who is learning the game?

I ve been playing 9man Turbo/non turbo and built my way up from 1$, 3$ and 5$ buyins.
Do you think a 3% roi as "crashing the game"?
I mean i still don't consider my self as a pro at sngs and still making mistakes. Still learning and improving my game.
I also tilt a lot in my game.
Would you expect all those things from a bot?

I see. I assumed you was a cash game player because the SNGs BB structure sucks on 888.

How many hours do you play at a time? I have observed suspected BOTS on the cash tables playing for like 16 hours straight which is a bit of a giveaway imo.

I am not playing all that much.
At most i may have played 70-80 sngs in a day which is normal i think.
5-6 hours at most, usually less.
Whats bothering is that if they really took the time and investigate ones history hands they would ve found out all the abnormalities, if any.
But they simply don't, they prefer to ban accounts and they wont take a word for it.
And the sad thing is that this happens with all rooms...

Anyway the good news is that i got my account reinstated.:f_biggrin:
Funny thing is that before that i had received an email that their decision was final and not to try to contact them regarding this matter.
What can you say?...

Ok so after a year considering the case resolved, my account got disabled again.:f_confused:
I have no words about 888poker's behavior...
Please take a look at my case and escalate it as soon as possible.
