by: ICU Intelligence Releases PokerBot Detection System
As the number of internet poker players continues to rise, the number of people trying to take advantage of game vulnerabilities using technology, has also risen. External cheating software that advises poker actions is becoming increasingly widespread, with some software able to play without human interaction, often termed as a “PokerBot”. These PokerBots can give a player using the software a potentially unfair advantage towards ordinary players that are not using such tools. Enter the BotGuard, by ICU Intelligence.
“..as the technology of the poker bots develops and becomes more sophisticated, new methods are needed to combat the problem. ICU’s BotGuard is designed specifically to find and detect the player patterns that single out poker bots from the human players.”
“The increasing complexity and the amount of data that needs to be processed in order to detect poker bots is tremendous…BotGuard has the ability to detect complex patterns with tiny shades of differences in huge databases, which allows it to find the players that are using illegal software.”
BotGuard is powered by ICU’s unique cutting edge technology, based on Artificial Intelligence. This empowers it with the ability to conduct analysis’ on vast amounts of data required to search for bots among the masses of ordinary players. Each online poker player has a digital fingerprint, and is unique. By the same token, every Pokerbot has individual playing patterns. Naturally, the way an ordinary person plays over time changes. However, a bot, plays in a relatively constant way with few small variations. ICU’s BotGuard pinpoints and flags suspect players, allowing an online poker room’s fraud specialists to undertake a more thorough investigation before the appropriate countermeasure is executed.
