I just got an anti-bot pop-up on Empire

SinCityGuy · #1 07-13-2005, 06:06 PM

I was playing 4 tables, and a pop-up appeared with five squiggly letters. I was instructed to type in the five letters within 120 seconds.

Anyone else see this yet?

I didn't have any trouble reading the letters; however, I was in the middle of a hand on one of the tables and the buttons disappeared. I was going to fold anyway, so in this case it wasn't a big deal when I timed out.

Was wondering how long it would take for this to start.

I am glad they are doing this and sure they have certain criteria to prompt the boxes.

Why would you not want to see this?? This is a great thing to stop people from running bots. This has nothing to do with PE/PT/PV etc. This is about fools running bots that actually play the hands.

This is a g00t thing! And ya way old news as TEddy said.
