Yea, don't spam me!! Sorry not having a go, but I get loads of trouble with poker sites using robots to auto submit forms to this site. Sometimes I get 200 to 300 a day of forms submitted to this site advertsing poker sites. Just look what they have done to this page:- http://www.webwiz.net/books/javascript_definitive_guide.asp - http://www.webwiz.net/books/javascript_definitive_guide.asp I'm going to have to delete all those comments later that were added by the poker sites robot, and place in a security CAPTCHA image on the form page to try and prevent this from happening all the time. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

The design looks allright I think. Writing a Poker Engine is quite challenging without the cheating factor, I mean you have to have the computer make decisions without "knowing" the customers hands but you have to know them so you don't double cards. Good luck. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

2 parts to it really, the client side software and creating a custom protocol to use with it. "I mean you have to have the computer make decisions without "knowing" the customers hands but you have to know them so you don't double cards. Good luck." Not really, if you server side process it all and just deal out the card values to each player then it'd be easy. Keeping as much of it server side as possible will close most of the security issues. |

| I think michael meant that people won't trust any old poker engine that they cannot see the source to to be non biased. As the engine already knows what cards the user has it would be very easy to rig it to coax the user into placing a large bet by making the engine loose the first 3 times, then when a larger bet is placed the engine just fakes it and takes the money. |

| If I went into paid games (initially it would be completely free), I would pay an independant auditor to analyse the code and issue certificates as the other ones do. |
