In Response To: WSOB Online Qualifier for U.S. Players (jdg)

I did some scouting on the dicearea site. Here are some observations:

1) The GUI is slow, but probably OK. It is flash based, with no client to download. I would suggest that you go into the "table settings" and change the "ANTI-ALIAS" to low. It seems to help a bit.

2) The server response can vary, but there is very little network traffic.

3) I still haven't figured out a way to get money out for U.S. players. For the WSOB qualifiers this may not matter, but Andy may want to address this. I'm assuming that getting money in via a CC is not an issue, but it may vary by bank.

4) Currently there is no way to save the game logs. The DA support responded with "to introduce during the autumn."

As for the last point, the FAQ contains:

"Can people cheat?

DiceArena has developed numerous anti-cheating devices to monitor game play and user windows to ensure that artificial intelligence devices and player collusion cannot interfere with game play and cheats cannot gain an unfair advantage.

What if I suspect someone of cheating?

If you have serious cause to believe that someone is cheating, then please inform the team at DiceArena immediately and it will be thoroughly investigated. This is done via emailing the support team; their address can be found under Help - Contact in the main menu."

Of course, without game logs, it is pretty hard to check for bots.
