Here's a new one.
On the forums this weekend, the player "Mentat" claims that he was a prop for a while and in fact received house funds to play poker with. He also claims that he was refused a cashout for "around 30 coins" but that he received "nearly that amount over time to keep the games going".
So, it seems like Betcoin is paying their house players 30 coins, refusing cashouts, and not announcing that they employ (or the identity of) house players. Sorry for no screenshots, I'm on the run and if nobody grabs them by the time I'm home I'll edit with them.

I've been putting off the whole bot thing because its so hard to actually prove and most of the time when someone cries bot they are idiot fish - but that's what Mentats talking about.
They used bots (and Mentat + a couple others) to keep action at the tables up until the day they started the 100% rakeback tablestarter promo.
He was getting 100% rakeback and basically just helped "start tables" by playing the bots heads up and short handed. These were very Bots were very exploitable and never changed which resulted in some pretty insane bb/100
Someone gave me this document with info on all the different bot accounts, (Login name, Screen name, Account #, City etc...) The easiest way to tell if you were playing a bot was to check and see if it registered on Jan 22 2015.

Personally, I don't have a problem with them putting losing bots out to keep the games going, its a lot different then the GTO bots that are a threatening holdem as we know it. People would probably over react though (and they did anyway) So of course lying about it would be more convienient for Betcoin, so they did, without shame:
How would they identify bots if they don't even know what to look for. LOL
I don't know why the WPN allows these guys to share the tournament player base with all the crap that is going on.
