Game Integrity
With every great technological advancement comes the potential for abuse. Since the release of GTO Wizard AI, we have been very clear about our stance on game integrity and our desire to collaborate with industry leaders to safeguard the future of poker. GTO Wizard is uniquely positioned to combat online cheating as the primary entity investing in AI poker research. On top of our in-house security measures, we have released the Fair Play Check, a tool empowering players to verify if someone solved a board in GTO Wizard within a specific timeframe.
Over the past few months, we have met with every major poker operator and expressed our willingness to work together, using our technology to ensure a safe poker ecosystem. We are glad to share that poker operators, like WPN, have already integrated the Fair Play Check tool into their game integrity protocols. Many other prominent poker sites also use GTO Wizard’s Fair Play Check, though they are unwilling to disclose this publicly. We remain hopeful that their position will change as we believe transparency is essential to building a strong poker ecosystem.
Having proactively offered our technology to poker operators, we recognize that building a mutually beneficial partnership requires effort from both sides. It is essential for poker operators to take an active role in this endeavor. We remain fully available and willing to collaborate with them to eliminate unfair play in online poker.
