Solution for bots AND collusion?
Step 1: Online sites create tablet/ipad type device which will only run the poker software and nothing else, with built in wifi and wireless charging. No wires go in, no wired go out. Build them to be tamper-proof. Once implemented Players will only be able to play on their sites by using the device.
Step 2: Players pre-order these tablets for free (big enough to be able to comfortably play with 4 games showing (maybe add the ability to swipe to another set of 4 games) (make tablet "mountable" to computer monitor stands/mounts/arms for comfort)
Step 3: Terms and Conditions: 1 device per household per site (if 2+ people live together and all play, they will have to draw straws or play a home-game tourney to see who gets to play on GG and who gets to play on ACR etc. Or have some compromise where you can all have a Pokerstars tablet/GGpoker tablet/ACR tablet but only 1 person can be logged into each site at a time - or ~insert other good ideas here.
This solves both the bot problem, and the collusion problem (at least as far as people being in the same room/house anyways, i still think either needing to use real names or having anti-collusion features like hidden names and randomized seating into cash games would be needed)
But it solves the bot problem, until people build robots that can swipe tablets that is.
Tell me what you guys think and any changes or input is welcome. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Ive said this many years ago,only consistent winners (they can make a threshold of like 1k$/month playing a specific game) would be required to play with a camera on and device monitored by the platform. And that solves the issue of bots. Recreational dont need to put in any extra effort and breakeven players or small losing players are not using bots/rta so thats it.
If the same players are consistently playing at the same table then they are colluding.
Should be easy to see even with multiple accnts
I won't telll my friends what game on ignition im playing when they want to join, because i hope this is being tracked and being monitored
I also agree big $ tables should be on webcam w mic open
will i be allowed to jack off while playing poker then?
depends on your poker face but they might think you have the nuts if you look too happy
which nuts is the question
