Official Full Tilt Poker Response to Bot Thread

This begs the question...is it really possible to ever prove a player is 100% a bot? Seems impossible to me unless if they come out and admit it OR if they are using some confirmed bot software which i'm sure might be used by only a small percentage of botters.

Personally I think the proof (statistical evidence) of a bot is as great in this case as you'll ever see. Fine cant prove it 100%, let them keep their money but at least change the T&C and ban them from your site.

I guess what I am asking is what proof is needed to determine a bot?

I think you answered it...an admission and/or finding the software is about it.

In the face of overwhelming evidence but no proof, they can go one of five ways.

1) Do nothing.
2) Do nothing to the player(s), but step up the monitoring.
3) Place restrictions on the player(s) and step up the monitoring.
4) Give them back their money and show them the door.
5) Seize everything and show them the door.

I would hope most of us could agree that 1 and 5 are unacceptable. Hopefully FT has gone the way of 2 or 3 in this case. I think any of the options from 2-4 is acceptable (3 would be my ideal), but I doubt many sites will be happy to impose 4...that's a lot of money to send out the door.
