So the other day i was playing a mtt on pokerstars and the strangest thing happened. I was prompted (by what i am assuming was a security system set up by the website) to type in a word in the chatbox as a test. I think it was decimal or something like that. So that made me think was this attributed to me playing bot-like (I hope so) or is this a common thing that a lot players get asked that makes the site look like its actually monitoring players with bot-like betting patterns/ multi tabling. I really do hope it was me playing well enough to warrant them the prompt because this random test surely made me momentarily secure knowing im not gonna get scammed into playin someone's unnoticed bot across the table. So has anyone else been prompted like this? and are u a good/winning player?

The other night I was prompted to type some random letters in the chatbox as well. Mainly because I was playing 8 MTT's at the same time. Kind of a red flag I guess. Good Job Pokerstars.

This is totally random and has nothing to do with your play. It is designed to sniff bots.
