Poker Player Reveals How to Become a Bot Operator


Poker players are increasingly encountering bots or players using assistants in the game. One such incident involved Russian player Vitaly 'hiNt' Volov, who was banned from PokerStars for using a bot.

A player with the username 'NikitaJuS' shared a story about how easy it is to become an operator of a poker bot. The bot operator must play from 9 to 18 tables on the iPoker network in the discipline of Twister, which is similar to spins. The bot operator does not invest their own money as the game is played under backing, and the profit is split 60/40. The bot operator must have two monitors, a quality router, and a gaming keyboard. The bot operator receives training from the 'school' that provides the bot.

The bot makes nearly all decisions preflop, and complex decisions appear on a smaller monitor. The bot operator must be a strong player to handle these complex decisions, and the 'school' provides the necessary training.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
