Partypoker has revealed that is has closed 42 fraudulent accounts in May, as their clamp down on bots continues for a sixth straight month.

€3,598 was seized from the dot-EU market and $46,805 from the dot-com market last month, thanks to the work of the specially designed Poker Fraud Team. The funds are currently being processed and will be returned to players.
