| I read a lot about poker bots being used on sites, as well as cheating programs that go undetected (by using 2 computers)... programs that even allow you to see other player's whole cards. There seems to be a lot of evidence that this is actually going on, what is FTP doing about it ? |

The author says that in a few years online poker will be a "shell" of what it is today because of so many bots and cheating... sounds convincing. |
There are a lot of speculative words like "could, should, might" in that writeup.
I'd suggest you read this thread about the RNG and shuffle mechanism used here.

Also, if you're computer savvy, you can see what ports are being used by your programs and you'll notice that Full Tilt connects to the game server on port 443 which is the same port as secure HTTP.
So, Tilt does use a hardware RNG and uses public key cryptography to encrypt your connection between the server and your client. You're plenty safe here. |
