# ACR Poker Bot

> An independent technical research site on AI decision engines and detection topology in the ACR Poker (Americas Cardroom) and Winning Poker Network ecosystem — solver outputs, opponent modelling, anti-detection signals, the 2015 WPN bot-ring takedown, open developer questions.

ACR Poker Bot is a working notebook authored by Raul Moriarty, Poker Software Expert and Communications Lead at Poker Bot AI, with 15+ years across the software industry, business development, and online poker technology. The site is not a commercial product page. It covers what a "poker bot" actually means in 2026 (a solver-anchored decision engine reading visible game state, not a server exploit), how operator-side detection is structured at the Winning Poker Network — which operates ACR alongside BlackChip Poker, TruePoker and YaPoker under a Curaçao licence — and the open research questions in cross-skin fingerprint isolation, hand-history forensic countermeasures, PLO opponent modelling, low-buy-in MTT automation, and crypto-tied withdrawal pattern shaping.

The content is written for developers building, studying or defending against poker AI systems, for researchers in incomplete-information game theory and adversarial classification, and for curious players interested in the actual mechanics of modern solver-driven decision support on a US-facing post-Black-Friday network. Each long-form note is self-contained and citation-friendly: summary boxes at the top, table-of-contents with anchors, definition lists for technical terms, comparison tables, and named references to the published literature (Brown & Sandholm on Pluribus; Moravčík et al. on DeepStack; Dalvi 2004 and Lowd & Meek 2005 on adversarial classification).

## Pages

- [Home](https://acrpokerbot.com/): Long-form overview — what "poker bot" means in 2026, the ACR and WPN ecology, summary of WPN's four-layer detection model, the 2015 KhanZ bot-ring bust context, and five open research questions specific to this operator.
- [ACR Poker Hacks: A Technical Reality Check](https://acrpokerbot.com/acr-poker-hack/): Category taxonomy of claimed "ACR Poker hacks" (server exploit, RNG break, hole-card peek, data-mined HUD, AI decision engine). Architectural reasons each category is or is not feasible against a WPN operator. Cryptographic argument against RNG prediction, the 2007 UltimateBet precedent and why it is not portable, the economics of the scam category.
- [ACR Poker Cheating Detection: Architecture, Signals, Failure Modes](https://acrpokerbot.com/acr-poker-cheat/): Deep dive on WPN's four-layer detection model — hand-history forensics (the layer that drove the 2015 $1.4M bot-ring takedown), behavioural fingerprinting, cross-skin account graphs joining ACR / BlackChip / TruePoker / YaPoker, human review. Signal-weight tables, action-timing distribution example with pseudocode, false-positive budget and review pipeline, anti-detection as adversarial classification.
- [ACR Poker Bot Developer FAQ](https://acrpokerbot.com/acr-poker-bot-faq/): 21 technical questions covering the ACR bot market, the 2015 bust, cross-skin detection, HUD legality in practice (PokerTracker 4 / Hold'em Manager 3), Venom MTT economics, PLO viability on ACR's softer pool, crypto withdrawal pattern signals, desktop anti-fingerprinting, and the open research frontier.
- [Author: Raul Moriarty](https://acrpokerbot.com/author/raul-moriarty/): Background, areas of focus (modern poker software architecture, the ACR / WPN ecosystem, detection from the operator side, business and product, game theory in practice), and contact.
