Re: Solving the bot problem
This has nothing to do with gambling.
1. What we are talking about is a financial penalty upon violating a contractual agreement. Just like when you bounce a check, there is a "fee" for doing so.
2. Poker is gambling? It is a game of skill played for money just like any other semi-pro sport where there is a buy-in and a purse. Tennis and Golf for example...
Even the Internet Gambling Act that prevented funds from being transferred to offshore casinos had an amendment to DISCLUDE any game of skill where there was a set buy-in and payout. One could easily argue poker tournaments fall into this category. Ring games IMO also fall into this category although the argument is much more complex.
