Martin Zamani’s Shocking Bot Farm Video Shakes Poker Scene
A shocking video has gone viral in the poker community, showing what appears to be a massive “bot farm” operation targeting major online sites. The clip, shared by poker pro Martin Zamani , features rooms filled with computers running multiple poker tables – but not a single human player in sight.
Inside the Viral Bot Farm
The 30-second video gives a tour of a high-tech setup allegedly used to ghost and bot games on sites like Ignition and Bovada. Zamani, who clarified that he isn’t the one running the bots, said these operations have been known for a long time.
The post quickly racked up over 700,000 views, sparking a heated debate about game integrity and the safety of player pools on the Pai Wang Luo Network.

CoinPoker Leads the Fight Back
While some sites have remained quiet, CoinPoker has taken a proactive stance. The crypto-poker site announced that it has already identified and banned 98 bot accounts from its network.
Even better for the players? CoinPoker has redistributed over $156,000 back to those affected by the cheating. The site also promised an in-depth report on how these bot rings operate once all refunds are finished.
