Have anyone else got a pop-up where you have to write 5 letters that you see in a box ?
I got it some minutes ago didnt take any screenshot at it [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] i guess someone else have to...

Well this was good news, but will it work ?

it will suck when multi-tabling to have to take that time to verify you are a human

Yea, I got it for every table i've sat at. Hopefully, they'll get the picture soon.

what happens if u don't respond to the box and don't type in a correct code?

they boot u from table? what if u were idle and away from computer?

they refund ur buyin? well then anytime i'm down in chips, i'll just not answer that...my roi will skyrocket!

acct locked. endless phone tag to get it reopened. you will be watched like a hawk in the future. a couple of missed responses and they will assume you are using a bot. just my guess.

I must have gotten it 5 times in about 2 minutes, and every time it would disconnect me from the table, making me lose money. Now I lost the disc. protect, trying to call them, cannot get through! Not happy......

Well, they constant annoying "Play in the 500k!!!11" pop-ups needed some competition.

Yep, same thing happened to me. Besides the bot pop-up, Party keeps resetting itself- totally closing down and restarting, which has also cost me my disconnect protect and some $$. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I think they'll sit you out.

Presumably if it becomes a pattern, they'll watch you more closely. They aren't out to ban players who are legitimately playing, so if you're legitimately playing, it shouldn't be a problem.
