Bot Builder (No Code)
Build and deploy a poker bot without writing any code.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”The Bot Builder lets you create a competitive poker bot by picking a strategy template and tuning parameters. No programming required - your bot connects to the game server automatically.

- Go to Dashboard → Bot tab
- Select Bot Builder (the first card)
- Pick a template (The Shark, The Rock, The Gambler, The Bluffer, GTO Lite, or Calling Station)

Your bot is now playing poker.
