Versus
p³ bot vs NZT, Warbot, Shanky, Inhuman, Deepmind
Five bots side by side after ~22,000 rounds each: engine, rooms, game types, setup, price, trial, support, ban risk and the result at the table. p³ bot is the only one that finished in profit.
If you want the most profitable PPPoker bot in 2026, our money is on p³ bot. We tested five bots ranking around "pppoker bot" searches, grinding roughly 22,000 rounds on each to track prices, platform requirements, setup friction, and how each one finished at the table. Exactly one finished in profit, and that was ours.
The table
We pulled the competitor stats straight from their manuals, site copy, and support chats, while that final line reflects our actual play over about 22,000 rounds per bot Bot software and pricing shift constantly, so verify their sites yourself if you come across this later.

How we ran it
We put each bot through identical clubs and limits, following each manual to the letter before letting them grind. We tracked profit and total rounds, mainly caring whether you have to constantly babysit the software and whether your accounts stay alive. Keep in mind that roughly 22,000 rounds per bot is too small for a true long-run average, so treat that bottom row as a practical review of the whole tool rather than a definitive win-rate figure.
p³ bot
You can fire this up on a Windows PC, an Android phone, or an Android emulator. Our private server AI calculates the spots while the client app manages table actions. You get three operational styles: manual for simple advice, semi-auto where you seat the software and let it run, and full auto where it wakes up on schedule, hunts tables, hits your stop target, and signs out. The Table Select tool flags profitable games, while the web dashboard tracks your fuel, account earnings, round counts, and crash reports. If players message you in the club chat, the bot replies on its own or bounces the ping to you so you can type a manual response.
Every game type the room runs is supported. We cover twenty rooms with dedicated builds for each: PPPoker costs from $700 one-time, plus per-round fuel based on that room's rate. You get a one-day trial funded with trial fuel before spending anything. Support happens over Telegram with an assigned manager and our engineering team behind them.
Across our 22,000-round grind, we ended positive and beat every competitor active at those tables. Things still hiccup occasionally; an app bug can freeze the client into auto-folding your cards until you restart, so check your dashboard periodically.
NZT
This Android-emulator bot runs with a server-side brain and includes Table Select, making it the closest match to ours on paper. It covers three game types, but only on club apps: PPPoker, HHPoker, PokerBros, WePoker, X-Poker, Suprema, Pokerrrr 2, PokerNex and others. Getting started is simple, and the manuals are solid.
You pay for fuel only, with no license, and pricing changes monthly. There is no trial, so you need to top up first. Support runs through Telegram with a manager, plus regular updates. The project operates many sites and promotes heavily through agents and cold messages; older negative threads and forum reports say it works on Asian club apps instead of the big rooms, with bans and timing patterns mentioned.
Across our 22,000 rounds, the result was roughly breakeven, ending with a small plus. It freezes and auto-folds often enough that we would not run it unattended.
Warbot
This is a Windows-only OpenHoldem-based bot with its own profiles, sold as an all-in-one package. It supports three game types on PokerStars, partypoker, Winamax, iPoker, GG, Ignition, PPPoker, Global Poker, BetOnline and others. Setup is manageable, though changing its play or trying to avoid bans means editing profiles, which requires code.
$104.89 yearly covers one PC, with $30 off every additional PC and 30% off renewals. Some game types and custom profiles add $10–200. The trial is ten minutes. Support is available through Telegram and their forum, while updates come on request when a room client changes. Their FAQ puts the ceiling around the 50 limit and $30 events.
Our 22,000-round sample finished negative, and it was detected over time. It also froze and auto-folded more than once during our test.
Shanky (BonusBots)
This one's been around longest, selling for close to two decades. It runs on Windows, uses its own engine that reads the screen, and comes with a set of ready-made profiles. You get four game types; WPN (ACR, Black Chip, Poker King), Bodog/Ignition, PPPoker, Suprema, iPoker, and other rooms can be set up privately if you ask. Setup is medium, and really tuning it means learning their profile language.
The base license costs $129 a year, renews at $79; the second game type runs $189 a year, or $119 for its lighter version; custom profiles are extra. You can try 200 rounds. Support is by email, and updates do come regularly. Feedback is mixed, with a VICE test finishing with one event score and a rough ride overall; forum posts claim the stock profiles are weak at micro limits and up.
Over 22,000 rounds, we ran negative, detected over time.
Inhuman
It's Windows, with the OpenHoldem/OpenScrape engine packed into a ready-made virtual machine, and custom profiles too. Depending on the room, you get up to three game types; 888, GG Network, iPoker, AAPoker, Pokerdom, Chico, Bodog, CoinPoker, SealsWithClubs and more. Setup is the toughest of the five, needing a VM, a stack of manuals, and videos.
Around $100 gets you a one-year license with standard profiles, and the VM image is about $25 more; custom profiles are sold separately. The trial lasts five minutes. You reach them on Telegram, updates are rare, and it's probably one developer; the site is old, and the project has been dropped and brought back more than once.
Our 22,000-round result: negative, detected over time.
Deepmind
It runs on Windows using custom code by the developer, relying on OpenCV for table capture and a genetic algorithm paired with Monte Carlo simulations for decisions. Neural networks are purely an option for OCR table reading rather than the actual decision engine. You can only grind one game type, on PokerStars, partypoker, and GGPoker. Running the room client inside a VM while driving it from your host machine lands in medium-to-high complexity and is hard to scale.
Pricing sits at $25 per month, $49 per year or $499 lifetime, plus a free tier bundled with sample trial strategies. You pay through PayPal or Bitcoin. You get direct support from the developer, though patches drop rarely. The author is a recognized figure who maintains an open-source bot project on GitHub that forms the foundation of this build.
Across 22,000 rounds, we were negative, detected over time.
Setup matters, whichever bot you pick
Most trouble stems from setup mistakes outside the bot itself. You have to put each account on its own residential or mobile proxy rather than a datacenter IP. Device GPS coordinates must line up with the IP region and time zone, staying consistent every time you log in. Keep your session lengths realistic for human play. p³ bot and NZT give you the full network and GPS instructions; the Windows bot tools leave that entire chore to you.
The short version
Only two options on this chart were coded specifically for mobile club apps and come with the network and GPS instructions, whereas the other three are old-school Windows profile tools from an earlier era. Between those two club options, one showed a clear profit across 22,000 rounds without requiring you to babysit the grind. Check the vendor sites yourself before paying anyone.
