That is a head scratcher 🤔Ron112355 said:View attachment 412428
I honestly don't know what to make of this, these are all user names I have played against recently on the new Pokerstars on Fanduel Ontario Site why would all these people choose just a number that starts with 150 as their username?
It seems too obvious to be a Bot Farm, but what else could it be?
Makes me think of numbered companies playing poker lolRon112355 said:View attachment 412428

Is it just the poker sites own system? When you login, do you use this number. Like Bovada used to have a B followed by several numbers. It was your account number and login user name. You could still add your own to nikname if you wanted. Idk, just a guess.Ron112355 said:View attachment 412428

I thought so as well but have searched the site and cannot find an account number anywhere for myselfmy_world_myway9 said:Is it just the poker sites own system?

Looks like it's Facebook users for sureSunz of Beaches said:Probably some recs that got there via Facebook or apple id yes. They got an automatic number and most of them just accepted this and some changed it or added another word to it like in the picture (Ace, Gaul).
I have no other explanation. If thats a bot or cheating ring then it would be incredible dumb to use those similar screens.
When Flutter (the parent company of both PokerStars and FanDuel) launched the integrated Ontario market, users creating accounts through the FanDuel Sportsbook or Casino were automatically assigned internal 10-digit customer IDs—many in the 150XXXXXXX sequence series.Ron112355 said:View attachment 412428

If this were a coordinated bot network, the HUD stats across accounts would look relatively uniform (e.g., standardized GTO or exploit profiles with VPIPs clustered tightly around 20–25%).Ron112355 said:It seems too obvious to be a Bot Farm, but what else could it be?
This is an excellent point and something, which seem to be widely misunderstood. When someone play very loose/poorly and get lucky, people often think, they lost to a "bot". But loose/poor play is a sign of human recreational players / gamblers, not use of bots or any other kind of cheating. VPIP 0% is often someone, who sat out the entire tournament, which happen commonly in freerolls. People register ahead and then forget about it, or something comes up, so they dont have time to play. Or they are hoping to fold into a min-cash.G0930 said:If this were a coordinated bot network, the HUD stats across accounts would look relatively uniform (e.g., standardized GTO or exploit profiles with VPIPs clustered tightly around 20–25%).
Instead, the player stats on this list show massive, wildly erratic variance typical of casual human recreationals:
- The Whales / Gamblers: VPIPs of 75%, 77.78%, and 100% (classic casual sportsbook players playing every hand).
- The Ultra-Nits: VPIPs of 5.71%, 12.5%, and 14.81% (extremely cautious players).
- The Inactive: VPIPs of 0% (players who folded every hand or disconnected).
Sadly PT4 only shows me how many tourneys I played against each opponent, would be better to see how many hands but I haven't figured out how to find that stat.G0930 said:When Flutter (the parent company of both PokerStars and FanDuel) launched the integrated Ontario market, users creating accounts through the FanDuel Sportsbook or Casino were automatically assigned internal 10-digit customer IDs—many in the 150XXXXXXX sequence series.
When casual sportsbook/casino players click over to play a quick game of poker, the client defaults their display handle to their raw Account ID unless they manually go into their profile settings to create a custom screen name.
You can even see proof of this in a couple of handles on your list:
These are players who kept their default numeric ID prefix and simply appended a nickname or initials to the end.
