==== House enforcement ====
While the terms and conditions of poker sites generally forbid the use of bots, the level of enforcement depends on the site operator.  Some will seek out and ban bot users through the utilization of a variety of software tools.  The poker client can be programmed to try to detect bots although this is controversial in its own right as it might be seen as tantamount to embedding [[spyware]] in the client software.{{citation needed|date=February 2012}}  Another method is to use [[CAPTCHA]]s at random intervals during play to catch automated bots, although isn’t effective against Real-Time Assistance.
