Thread dedicated to overcoming casino countermeasures with team play and technological means.

(P.S. including hypothetical ones, you never really know what's going on behind online casino's curtain! [smiley]aim/angel65.gif[/smiley])

Countermeasure: Analyzing bets placed by a punter at the online casino to detect his ordered betting system.

...This is the most obvious way for a casino to apply a countermeasure against a winning system.

They look at a punter's statistics looking for betting patterns which indicate he's using a certain system the casino may be wary of, resulting in expulsion.

Solution: Statistics fragmentation.

Casino's favorite type of bettor is the senseless bettor. Making random wagers for no rhyme or reason. Looking like a senseless bettor is a player's best bet to hold the casino account active without being flagged.

How?

If we have -say- three players in a team randomly picking who's turn to bet is it, statistics for a single player do not reflect the whole system at all, only unrelated fragments of the actual winning stream of bets.

When analyzing the betting statistics from any given player of the group, they aren't seen like a stream of ordered bets, but look like random bets made at random points.

The more players the merrier for this technique. i.e. A team with statistics fragmented in 10 players can run smoothly without risking having the statistical analysis for a single flagged player disclose anything about the whole team operation.

Thanks to video feed sharing and a sound understanding of "casino wallets", the team can hit different wallets/owners to lessen the odds of rising a flag.

Countermeasure: Detecting betting assistant programs for winning players.

As you know, any automated betting program which assists players to lose is more than welcome by the casino; they couldn't care less about them. But chances are the other way around isn't the same.

Solution: Virtual machines.

Assuming they target a list of .exe names or window titles for flagging programs, with a virtual machine used exclusively for gaming the API calls implemented by them return only what's inside the virtual machine, not what's executed on the main machine.

Countermeasure: detection of gaming assistant programs in mobile devices.

Solution: automated PHYSICAL robots to assist with betting (open hardware, such as the bitbeam) to avoid casino detection in mobile devices entirely:

There isn't a single piece of different/extra software code in the smartphone for the casino to detect or track.

Of course, this could be the ultimate solution for desktop gaming too for the truly paranoid!

One "alarmist"/paranoid thought to ponder (not out-of-scope since this is a countermeasures thread [smiley]cxp/present.gif[/smiley]):

Are we dealing with the beginning of the end for public roulette bots?

The thought of casinos being proactive in monitoring every piece of software running in your computer which could be used to automate roulette betting tasks -in order to employ this information against the player- has been roaming for some time now.

How would casinos implement it?

They could encrypt the information before sending it to their server and bury the fact in their terms and conditions with wording such as "The casino reserves the right to collect information form your computer for security and fraud prevention purposes" i.e. they give themselves the right to use their casino installed program as spy-ware, which could be claimed to be legally valid since you are forced to agree to their terms before installing, not unlike a mobile app getting access to your phone's personal images as well as your actual physical location legally because you gave it permission to do so.

If this is the case, then the end of the public bots for roulette, baccarat and other casino games is nigh...

With virtual machines being detected, the only real alternative would be bots: the physical out-of-the-computer kind, as seen above, featuring AI to mimic the random human behavior when moving the cursor and clicking.

(Or perhaps we're just being too paranoid... –but again, only the paranoid survives!)

Haha.....The second picture is too funny.

I forget which site it was....might actually have been dublinbet where they had a clause in their conditions which mentioned something about using bots. They even said they only catered to recreational players. That gave them a pretty wide scope for manoeuvre. But everything must have changed over there. I noticed when I deposited some money yesterday, that they offered me a signup bonus. They are also now regulated by Curacao (scary!)
