WPTGlobal is a giant botpool

hey guys so in recent months wptglobal got a huge boost in traffic, especially i noticed it on christmas eve, where every site was overlaying (pokerstars the most) even gg had low guarantess that day, but somehow traffic on wptglobal was hitting every guarantee from their normal day schedule which to me was insane. so i started digging. basically they have huge army of bots in pool. way way way bigger than the famous ACR botfarm. i was writing down accounts names, making screenshots and trying to find them. some of them were easy to spot because of their timing tells, where human would need time to make decision. but wptbots were acting instant 😃 but the biggest discovery came in last week . wptglobal was added to sharkscope. so to make it simple. the bots are all playing everything that is running. from 1usd to 110usd tournies the same bot account. they are playing same vpip and pfr. usually its vpip 24 and pfr 17. so now to provide some data

here are the accounts. you can sharkscope them yourself and compare. i will point to just "some coincidences"

you can take any account from the sample i provided. they are all grinding totally same . the biggest tell is, sharkscope data are from 20th of april. every single account of here started grinding that day and is grinding since.

()

() so this account stole yesterday 6,3k from the prizepool by winning the 220 that started at 19:05 CET. you can sharkscope it iself check the statistics,

() somehow the "PLAYER" decided to play until 8:36 CET in the morning next day for in 3usd 7usd and 5usd tournaments for nearly 14 hour session. congrats guys that keep playing on WPTglobal where bots are stealing your money

another bot account stealing 1645 usd from players.

This is irrelevant, because it seems sharkscope just start tracking data from that day. But the list seems to be legit. Im found little hands on them: https://mega.nz/file/u9tkDDgJ#RdFdARjDpy... (https://mega.nz/file/u9tkDDgJ#RdFdARjDpynYKHGEx3OhsXaA2RmdRJxQswrxmIZK3bI) Im split the list on several groups and they all follow pattern 18 WS > 33 LN, which is actually rare for postflop strategy design.

( recurring strategy patterns of behavior are repeated across all groups One of the biggest concerns is that they have no winrate in late-game because of such tight preflop and the only explanation is that they no have intention to beat the game.

Interesting.

I took the stat pattern of the player originally flagged in this thread and built a "reference profile" out of it — basically a snapshot of how he plays across 11 key stats (VPIP, PFR, 3Bet, fold to 3Bet, showdown stats, river aggression, etc.). Then I scored every player in the pool by how closely their stats match that reference profile across all 11 dimensions at once. Think of it like a fingerprint match — instead of comparing players on one stat at a time, it compares the whole stat pattern as a single shape, and ranks players by how similar that shape is to the target. The numbers next to each nickname are that similarity score — lower = closer to the suspect's profile. Below is the tightest bucket (score 0–100) — 22 new names that match the profile most closely: Ppatshill 32 出啥看 53 会能进入这 56 Mxbton 58 秀就大了 62 束支 66 OkWasabi 74 既要积极z 78 pixievondust 79 MpatisOnFire 81 minhSlayer 84 oomfaloomfa 89 MeizBrooke 89 啊电池盖 90 不隆咚 92 emparer 92 Westeaah 97 亲亲雯雯 98 亲亲雯雯 98 Important context on scope: this is just the inner ring. I've already pulled the 100–200 bucket (100+ names) and the 200–300 bucket (200+ names), and what's interesting is that the aggregate stat profile of the 200–300 group still looks very close to the target — which suggests the actual pool of suspicious accounts could be much larger than the handful at the top. I'm going to keep digging through the wider rings in real time and post follow-ups as I work through them. A close match doesn't prove anything on its own — plenty of regs naturally land near this style — but it should sharply narrow the field. Worth cross-checking the top names against schedule overlap, timing patterns, and any other tells already on the table. Heard that WPT's have a bounty program. Will be glad to see it.

This list of players definitely has some weird stats. They are winning, but nothing exceptional given the stakes. And they don't do any obvious MDA exploit type of play. Nothing like the famous botfarm on ACR did for example. I can't imagine anyone running bots like these to make profit. So most likely they would be house bots or "semi-house" bots, getting there through a specific skin that is motivated through increased liquidity/rake but doesn't want to drain the games too much. wptbots: Can you reply to my DM, or contact me on discord: .likeag6. or on twitter: https://x.com/MTT_Data_Review or IG: https://www.instagram.com/mtt_database_r... (https://www.instagram.com/mtt_database_review/) I'd like to know the exact methods you used to get this list of players, how much was from sharkscope, how much analsing datamined hands and what stats you used. So that I can see which weird stats that I see are result of them being bots and what is there because you used that to filter for them.

Sometime in middle of April the group changed some sizings pretty significantly. Also there will be many false positives. Just looking at it quickly, these play more differently from others, probably real players: aikiri spicetheace monkgallas Civoldar

These are IP 3bet sizings. List of suspected 80 bots, mostly from this thread (I removed some that I think were false positives). You can see that the suspected bots prior to roughly 15th April did all kinds of sizings, but quite a lot of 3,9x+ and also many very small ones. Weirdly small ones for deeper stacked play. And the same alias after 19th of April plays almost exclusively IP 3bet 3,9x and larger, even at shallow stack depths. Before, 16,5 % (1,5/9,1) of their IP 3bets were over 3,9x After, 84 % (5,2/6,2) of their IP 3bets were over 3,9x For comparison rest of population in the same time period in bottom end of the screenshot. We can also see a change this way, that 3,9x+ sizing going from 16 % usage to 38 % usage. This could potentially be affected by some software changes, if WPT Global changed preset bet sizings in the client perhaps. But more likely there are more undetected bots in the population sample.

()

Testing a sample of different 100 suspected bots, these are from a list from TylerRM. And again in middle of April this group of players decided to massively switch into almost exclusively big IP 3bet. (And more 3bet in general, almost double frequency of openshoves, cbet freq vs BB going from 66 to 83...) They are now extremely often using the default client sizings 33/50/67/100. They did even before, but now its far more often. Perhaps they think it looks more innocent to do basic sizings that a mobile user might use a lot.

I sent you list of 287 players to [email]gameintegrity@wptglobal.com[/email]

The SharkScope corroboration is the smoking gun here. Identical start dates across that many accounts is not variance or coincidence, that's infrastructure. I'd been noticing unusually fast action at micro stakes on WPT and wrote it off as reg-speed players, but VPIP 24 PFR 17 across the whole pool from $1 to $110 buy-ins is a dead giveaway that there's no human decision-making happening. Props for actually doing the legwork on this.

Hi everyone. Since I don't have access to Club WPT Gold, I’ve been playing on WPT Global for about 2-3 months now. I mainly grind micro-stakes tournaments (buy-ins usually around $2.20 to $5) and actually made a few final tables (finished 2nd). It was a bit of a bummer not taking down 1st, but overall it was a great experience. However, that was only for the first month and a half. The last few weeks have been an absolute nightmare. I play a pretty tight game and avoid playing trash, but whenever I lose, it's always to absolute garbage hands. My big cards constantly miss the board, and I just end up getting cracked by calling stations playing random junk. The worst part is what happens to my premium hands. In one specific tourney, I rebought 3 times, and all 3 times I busted holding AA against hands like 67o, QJo, and 34o. To be clear, I didn't open-shove preflop. I would 3-bet, and since they usually just flat call, it never went to a 4-bet or 5-bet. Instead, I shoved post-flop, and I don't ****ing get it. They had no flush draw, no piece of the board whatsoever, yet they still called my jam, only to get bailed out by perfect runner-runner cards on the turn and river. I honestly don't even know if this RNG is normal anymore, or if the site is infested with bots programmed to profit and force players to rebuy. What makes it even sketchier is that when we are deep-stacked and I open 2.2bb - 3bb from UTG, the whole table snap-folds. But the moment they actually decide to call, they are somehow guaranteed to hit a set or a straight by the river. Im taking a break. Should I switch to another platform? What are your thoughts on this? I'm still a bit of a noob, so I'd really appreciate your opinions.

the biggest tell is, sharkscope data are from 20th of april. every single account of here started grinding that day and is grinding since.

This is because, Sharkscope only begun tracking games from WPT Global on that date. So everyone, who were playing there before that date, will have 20th of april 2026 as the date of their first activity. But good that the bot accounts were now banned 😀
