For poker it's a bit more tricky as we can't have a duplicate game as then the bots would know their opponent's hand! So we are looking at other options including players uploading their code to our server to run a duplicate game. We are also looking into betable and also getting a gaming license. But for the moment we are happy to fund new user's accounts with a starting quantity of bitcoin.
I don't think that idea to upload code to server would work, not many will be willing to upload code of bot because you could potentially use that. It doesn't have to be uploaded code, it could be dll for strategy where input would be game state and output would be decision. But still even such dll could be reverse engineered.
Even if somebody would agree to upload code then you would have to read the code and look if they implemented a cheat?
If you want to use duplicate game only to see which bot is the best, then i think you could simply let them run bots without providing code. Why would somebody cheat if there is no money involved. But if there is money involved, then the most interesting part of poker is variance, so no need to make duplicate games imo. Like in online chess, there are rankings, you can see who is the best player, and anybody can cheat because you could use other PC and get help from AI. They also have some anti bot software to recognize cheaters.Statistics: Posted by mlatinjo — Fri Jun 23, 2017 11:50 pm
