paidAffiliate disclosure. The partner link in the masthead and in the band beside the copy on this page is a sponsored link to a partner operator, and this site may be paid if you open an account through it, at no extra cost to you. It carries rel="sponsored noopener" and opens in a new tab. A desk about the software that places a wager should not leave its own funding unsaid: one link funds the site, no operator is named, rated or recommended anywhere on it, and it describes no program, key or method for automating a bet.
The Machine Bet / the consequences
the ceiling, the closure and the refusal
What happens to the account the machine acted for
The consequence of an automated order falls on the account, not on the program. The platform limits the account, removes its offers, closes it, or refuses the withdrawal at the end of it. Of the 30 sampled accounts that were limited, the maximum stake fell to a mean 2.00 from 50.00 - which is the term enforced in the only currency it has.

Direct answerThe four consequences of automated betting all land on the account: a maximum-stake ceiling (the 30 sampled accounts fell to a mean 2.00 from 50.00), the removal of an offer (22 of the 30), closure (18 accounts) and a refused withdrawal (12). The program is never the subject, because the program is not the customer.
the four consequences, in the order they arrive
the flag 62 accounts touched
the ceiling 30 limited, mean 2.00 from 50.00
the offer 22 had an offer removed
the closure 18 closed
the withdrawal 12 refused at the rail
the win rate of the limited accounts
before the ceiling 8.4%
after the ceiling 4.2%
the ceiling does not stop the betting:
it removes the only edge the machine had,
which was stake size on a good price
the consequences and who carries each
| consequence | count | who carries it |
|---|
| a stake ceiling | 30 | the holder |
| an offer removed | 22 | the holder |
| a closed account | 18 | the holder, and the balance with them |
| a refused withdrawal | 12 | the holder, until the account is resolved |
| the program is named in none of the four | 1 name |
Why the ceiling is the real consequence
A ceiling does not forbid the customer from betting; it makes the bet small. At a 2.00 maximum stake the timing edge is worth pennies, so the account stops being worth automating without ever being told to stop. That is why 30 accounts were capped and only 18 closed: the ceiling is the cheaper enforcement for the operator and the more decisive one for the customer.
The desk explains the consequences rather than warning a customer how to avoid them. None of the four is a malfunction; each is the clause being enforced on the name it binds.
