Surely a set of CAPTCHA tests throughout the game will separate the bots from the humans?

i.e. at random points in a game present a CAPTCHA for the human players to easily pass, meanwhile the bots are generally fooked.

And alternative is MAPTCHA, where the human must answer a simple math test:

The problem is you could be running a bot "on the side" so to speak, interactively feeding it all the plays, and using its decisions.

edit: I guess the only solution will be wide-angle high-quality web cams. That would also make the game more like the real thing, but does mean you can't play in your underpants ;-)
