Note: This site does not support the use of automated software (“bots”) for the intent of winning money on skill gaming sites. No matter which way you look at the issue of utilizing bots, using bots to unfairly win games is stealing money from other players. I am not endorsing the sale of this WorldWinner Bejeweled bot — I simply want to bring it up as a talking point on an issue that’s been gagged on the WorldWinner Premier forums (for those of you who don’t know, there is a “zero tolerance” policy on discussing cheating over there).

A newly registered person on the forums had mentioned the purchase of a WorldWinner bot that seems to score very well in Bejeweled 2 — a bot that averages over 8,000 points per game and can peak as high as 13,000 points. This was a bot that I had actually heard of in the past, but never bothered to study further into the rumor of an “unbeatable” bot that was being used in WorldWinner games undetected. Well, it looks like there IS a bot that is being used without detection, and here’s a couple gameplay videos of it in action:

I’ll be honest here — I’ve got two feelings running through me as I watch these gameplay videos. First off, I am impressed that a programmer was able to code a Bejeweled bot that works as well as this one — it can optimally plan moves ahead, it plays lightning fast, it doesn’t seem to glitch up, etc.  Second though, and more seriously…I am scared knowing that there is a Bejeweled bot that has not been able to falter under WorldWinner’s security protocols. How do you really know that player X isn’t using the bot? Even if he/she seems to average 9,000 points, perhaps the bot is simply paused halfway through the game and the remainder is played without assistance.

For those of who you might be interested (or foolishly bold enough) to purchase the bot for $199, you can check it out at http://www.worldwinnerbot.com. Again, I do NOT support the use of automated software in skill games. You are STEALING money from innocent players when doing so. I cannot guarantee that this bot comes virus-free, that it can’t get detected by WorldWinner, and I can’t guarantee that it even really works. Purchase this bot at your own risk.

I really hope WorldWinner takes note of the bot’s site and takes measures to cease the sale of this bot, and to develop security protocols that can detect it. Innocent players trying to make an honest profit off WorldWinner shouldn’t have to suffer.
