card games: February 2009 Archives

British online poker sites are attempting to stamp out the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by players who have designed software which can play online on its own.

Running a team of poker bots is certainly not encouraged by poker sites and it's often in a site's terms and conditions that you can't use software, bots, or AI, but some sites do not even mention it.

Full Tilt - one of the big online poker names says in its terms: "The use of artificial intelligence including, without limitation, 'robots' is strictly forbidden in connection with Full Tilt Poker. All actions taken in relation to Full Tilt Poker's games and tournaments must be executed personally by players through the user interface accessible by use of the game software."
