Certain types of online poker bots now use screen scraping to analyze real-time data. Both commercial and private bots process the information at a poker table (what cards they have, what position the bot is in etc.) by reading the graphical pixels.
Since making the discovery, the security team at WPN (Winning Poker Network) has developed new ways to stop cheats in the short term.
By remapping the tables, the bots are no longer able to interpret the pixels and make decisions based on in-game dynamics
Those that were unwilling or unable to prove they weren’t running bot software via videos and session data were closed. The crackdown resulted in 46 poker bots being stopped, and more than $450,000 being redistributed to affected players.
