PartyPoker says it has seized $144,000 and €34,000 form 94 fraudulent ‘bot’ accounts across its global and shared liquidity doteu licenses.
A total of 39 dotcom accounts were closed last month and $143,908.10 seized in player balances were seized, the company said in a press release.
PartyPoker said the seizures are part of its ongoing attempts to make the site a safer, fairer place to play. PartyPoker is currently processing refunds from the entire pool of seized funds, which will be redistributed to all affected players, the release said.
The company said 15 of the seizures were due to reports submitted by PartyPoker players, and the site encourages players to continue reporting all suspicious activity at its tables.
The site also closed 55 rogue accounts throughout April belonging to its ring-fenced doteu license that serves players from France and Spain. Those 55 account closures led to the seizure of €34,546.17 in associated funds, with five of the closures coming as a direct result of player reports, the release said.
