Dare to Compare! - cheat nabbing and security

[Grengoddess]

so on all the skill gaming sites you play at what are the pros and cons with their cheat nabbing abilities and security. and which site wins this ultimate battle in the dare to compare challenge!

discuss mortals >D

King.com -- Very very difficult to hack/cheat/bot in cash games without getting caught. Security protocols are all over the place, and they are even somewhat intrusive. You know how King keeps track of certain things you do in-game to award diplomas? Well, think about it...anything you could possibly do in-game that's perceived as an anomaly (100% accuracy bullseye rate in Carnival Shootout over the course of 10 games, average scores of over 18,000 in Bejeweled 2, etc) could be tracked and reviewed. And that's a good thing.

WorldWinner -- WW has really stepped it up with bot detection and catching cheaters at a quicker pace. Their legal & fraud team doesn't play around, either...look at what happened to that WorldWinnerBot site. *POOF*

Dukesbox -- I haven't really heard of much cheating going on, and I've never tried to hax0r the site in any sort of way...but I do know that they have very stringent measures in place to catch potential cheaters and bug abusers.

GamesNRoses -- I tried to mess with the site with some notice given, they caught it instantly, and my account even got temporarily frozen, lol. Good stuff. Now, I have no proof that anyone cheats in GnR, but there's this 1 guy in Eden Flowers that I've _never_ been able to beat. Hard to believe that I can't beat him ONCE over the span of over 30 games when I have a good amount of "Swap-3" experience on me. I'm not a big whiner if I can't prove anything, but seriously....0-30 against a guy I've never heard of on King or WorldWinner? Eh.

uVMe -- sucks balls

Quite a good time for this topic to come up,

Over the past couple of days we've banned 3 cheats and ramped up our security measures. For example, manually viewing the clicks for any game has been revamped so a preliminary check can be done online. A sample of what a game might look like via our new online system to our admins can be seen at:

This is the first stage of the manual process that we can look at if we suspect a user but the automatic system hasnt picked up on their activity. If there is a suitable level of suspect activity from the first level of manual checking, we can move on to the second level of checking which involves examining mouse movement patterns compared to the average mouse movement patterns for that game.

Anyways, theres a quick insight into the way in which our anti-cheat system works
