Posted by taavi19: what are house bots?
These are bots that poker room is using to fill empty tables and SNG tournaments. That T&C i liked to quote where this is mentioned was from cryptologic site.

If i remember correctly, all bots had BOT######## nicks. They were pretty loose bots and one could hardly say they were easy to beat, especially when you earn some money of them they would start calling and winning with such crap that it was IMO too obvious they knew how hand would end. I liked their loyalty bonuses but playing against some bot calling 5x or 10x BB with 5-3off, 8-2s, is not much of experience when you hit your set of aces and to be beaten by straight or something similar. So i just quit playing. OH and their casino, its definitely rigged, nothing big but enough to make you deposit again. They played that trick on me once, second time i took them when i stopped playing half way through monthly bonus.

Boss media is another story, in 3 tournaments i have myself chopped some 15 pots on pockets that were not 1st group only and saw at least 2x other chops. When I asked them for RNG certificate they pointed me to T&C. I just thanked them.
