According to the latest statistics released by its security team, 48 bots were taken offline in August.

By deactivating the rogue accounts across its dot.com and dot.eu networks, Partypoker has recovered $180,858 in stolen funds.

Partypoker Making Poker Safer for All

That total means Partypoker has now handed back just over $1.1 million to players affected by poker bots.

Far from being the end of its effort, The Poker Fraud team has urged players to speak up if they see something suspicious. Moreover, they’re aiming to restore consumer confidence in online poker.

With the help of its players and ongoing investment, Partypoker bosses want to make their platform the safest in the world.

In tandem with this effort to improve online poker, Partypoker’s tournament team has set its sights on helping the world at large.

With its annual Caribbean Poker Party (CPP) set to get underway in the Bahamas on November 16, the operator is donating money to the country’s relief efforts.

Win and Help those in Need

With Hurricane Dorian destroying buildings and displacing upwards of 70,000 people, Partypoker has launched two charity initiatives.

As well as a Just Giving page where players can donate $10 and gain entry to a prize draw, there will be a special tournament on October 13.

Costing $100 to enter and boasting a $78,000 guarantee, the rebuy event will give players a chance to win their way to the CPP.

1st – 3rd place wins a $16k package. This includes main event buy in ($10,300), nine nights at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar for two people, $1,400 room credit and $2,000 expenses.

4th – 8th place wins a $6k lite package. This includes mini main event buy in ($1,100), nine nights at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar for two people, $600 room credit and $2,000 expenses.

As well as personal gain, those who take part in the MTT will help raise money for the victims of Hurricane Dorian.

Partypoker has confirmed all proceeds will go to charity, as will any money collected via the Just Giving page.
