Dear xxxxxxxx
We are aware of the several BOT Poker Programs in the market that are designed to allow a program to play poker. These programs run independently on a player's computer and so there is no foolproof method to detect and prevent their usage completely. They are designed to play poker as a human, therefore it is not possible to detect a BOT program through the game play.
Our principle aim has always been to provide a safe and fair gaming environment. On this we will not compromise.
We are committed to detect and prevent software programs such as these from playing on our site. Such programs are often designed to send information about cards or players to an external program.
We prohibit this practice at our site and will use all necessary methods.(including but not limited to, screen scraping or reading the list of currently running programs on a player's computer)
It should be noted that although BOTs are frowned upon because they are computer programs
they actually play poker at a level that is considered below average to that of a human player.
