But if each of the 5 people was using their own phone's data connection to get online it would be OK?
If 5 people are playing on the same IP then obviously something is going on and we can't monitor that. If someone is using the same IP address because they changed it and *somehow* it was the same as another person's then the signs would be pretty clear - the chances of that happening are pretty low and even if it did there are still ways to tell that's what's going on.
I think you misunderstood me.
I'm saying that if 5 people are in the same building and want to play on your site, they could each use their own phone's data connection and play with 5 different IP addresses, and you wouldn't know they were in the same building. Then, if they were cheating, it would be harder for you to detect.
If, instead, you let them all use the same IP address, you would have extra information to help detect collusion.
By forcing them to each use their own IP address you are reducing the amount of information available to you to detect collusion.
TwitchySeal made the same point. In fact I probably stole most of my thinking from him. He's a smart one.
To be fair we did a lot of research. Cubeia is relatively new, but it is, in my humble opinion, the best offering for HTML5 multiplayer poker.
I'm very impressed by it. I'm only posting the 'complaints' I am posting because I want to see the software improve further. Compared to the competition for Bitcoin poker, this is the best I've seen so far. SWC doesn't work if you don't have Windows, and neither does the .ag betcoin. They have an in-browser client, but it's flash based and crashes a lot. I've never tried Nitrogen - I think I read that they use the same HTML5 client as you guys.
Maybe Need Some Detection for MAC Address too..
Thats will be nice..
I think your computer's MAC address goes no further than your own local router.
Video poker info says less than 1% house edge.
But the payable is one of the worst and only pays out ~95% with perfect play.
Do you have the math and hands to back that up? House edge is what it says on the tin with perfect play.
http://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/analyzer/ is very good at calculating the house edge for video poker games. I've not looked at your offering, but can do if you two can't come to agreement on the true edge.
Here's another little problem I've been having with the HTML5 poker software. As soon as I'm in 3 or more games the tiled windows are small enough that the tile icon covers one of the top-left player's hole cards. It would be nice if I could see his cards when he shows. Maybe just move him up and right a bit:
