hi,
Becaus i can't find I : "Put quality on-topic posts here if you can't find a better place." :)


I play a lot last time in poker but only by browsers.

I start to wonder how big is surveillance made by poker sites and how big can be ?

I mean, if by my browser, poker room can learn any unique characteristics of my computer ?
Somehow recognize me if for example I use 2 different browsers ? I want to use 4 different accounts for the same poker room on a laptop.
I began to wonder about this when I read somewhere that plug-ins such as Java and Flash, provide ample opportunities for surveillance :)

Perhaps only virtualization give me some security ?

Really be glad for any advice in this theme.
Regards,

N.D

Yes they can do that a number of ways if they want to.

Are they Java/Flash based or HTML5+JS?
If first, then yes they can find out quite a lot. If second, then no - you can fake everything.

Thanks for your interest :)


But can you guys expand it.
I have on my minde flash/java poker room like : bwin poker, betsafe, betson, 888poker, titanpoker..

What do you think, how I should defend themselves against surveillance ?

Use Virtualization ? But if they can read unique data such as MAC address, CPU ID (?). Is it enough ?
In this case even reinstall all OS, is not enough....

Or may enough use any browser with appropriate addons such as: FF + Better Privacy + + UserAgent Switcher ?
