I'm equally sure a college student could get hundred's of his "closest friends" to do the same.

Additionally, in order for this to be effective at all, ALL sites would have to do this for every signup, before they could play (similar to Neteller)... and then what... random periodic phone calls, asking to confirm their play for the day?
