Public apology to DAC- His account has been cleared.

Are you really sure, GM?

Still, nobody wants to play DAC in the future anyway.

So DAC, just ban yourself, you cheater.

I give props to WSEX and WPEX for handling the situation so fast. Now if only they could detect bots and cheating earlier on instead of at withdrawal. Plus make it clear what software is not allowed. But hey, good customer service WPEX.

I'm a sports guy myself. WSEX has a really good reputation in that arena. I'm hoping with some improvements, WPEX will also find the same success in poker.

If DAC was using a bot do you think he would send you that program?

Would it matter if one of the programs he did send them was responsible for setting off a false positive?

Good question. I don't know how WPEX determines whether someone uses a prohibited bot or not. Ask them how they investigate these things. If the guy was using a bot, then WPEX should ban his ass early on. Don't think some players are going to want play DAC now anyway.

Great job, Fred.

You attention and presence is extraordinary. Thank you for all the hard work.

If I may make a suggestion, making a list of "banned" programs and aids will be tough since they will always be changing, renamed, or just new. Instead, make a list of "allowed" programs and aids (Poker Tracker) and say everything else is play at your risk, and let people check with you if they have questions. Just $0.02.

If/when WPEX grows beyond the point where you can personally handle issues like this, I hope there is some way you "institutionalize" the kind of support you provide. Its unparalleled.

Very well handled, by both WPX and DAC.

Nice work. glad it worked out

I'm glad to see DACs name has been cleared.

For all those who say you wont play vs DAC in the future...get over it. He was unequivocally not a bot. For all those that didn't understand the process, the GM loaded up the hotkey script that DAC was using and it gave their bot detectors a false positive.

Kudos WSEX GM on a job...done. Also, as an unintended (but good) side effect, you've scared away any potential botters from setting up shop.
