It was a weekend to forget for one unregulated poker site ACR Poker (formerly Americas Cardroom) as it announced, clarified and ultimately reneged on a promise to award $100,000 to a player who could successfully create and operate a bot on the platform.

The six-figure challenge stemmed from a 2+2 forum post, which claimed an unbeatable bot had been operating on ACR and consistently winning.

Security issues can and have occurred on regulated poker sites. Last week, it became known that an account on GGPoker could view the equity during hands, allowing that player to operate nearly as effectively as a superuser. The online poker giant, a 2+2 forum member exposed the scandal, banned the account.
