Default Re: I Just Tested Swagdog And It Worked !!

As for beating the bots generally (as a site), I wonder about the following things being significant deterants:

1. Limit multitabling. Accomodations could be made for players that have met certain strict verification standards, and anything shady could put your multitabling ability at risk.

2. More vigorous identity scrutiny.

3. Just like casinos have someone protecting the game, these sites need to do the same. If we can multitable, surely they can have someone watching a few tables and instigating chat, capcha's, and generally monitoring for threats to the integrity of the game. This will cost them less than Ed Millers doomsday scenario would.

4. Bot and collusion data detection flags as part of PT software, or similiar, so that we are alerted when the same player sits out SH, always at table when cheater2 is at table, whatever else. The idea is that we help police the sites with data to back it up. We are clearly doing a better job.

5. Organized protests to get the sites attention on the bot topic.

6. Where would Vegas be today if they let every Winholdem creator or operator prance around happily posting his achievements on public forums? That's all I'm saying. Theres no school like the old school.
