Letter identification is a nice step ahead for Party, and they have made sure that at least WH bots require an intricate dual comp setup to avoid immediate detection.
Upon detection, users are warned or banned with seizing of funds.
This is not enough. The final step to defeat bots is to remove the financial incentive for them. One account with seized funds is merely a bump in the road.

Here's my proposal:
* Demand ID and utility bill for cashing out.
* Add a line in T&C, stating that detected bot usage will render a fine of $10k or more.
* Use a few % of their income to hire lawyers and SUE the bot users. This will make the financial risk of bot usage exceed the potential financial gain.

It's time to bust those bastards.

This will not work:

- You want to make it hard to play online poker for the average person.

- $10K fine. Enforcable? NO!

Why don't I say a $5,000 fine for anyone who walks on my lawn. You just can't do that.
