Sort of a Captcha poker table.

But this idea is quickly discarded for the following reason:
To make is a difficult enough challenge for machines...
You would have to make font variation so extensive...
That players would have a real burden reading data.
Players would NEVER tolerate this level of font variation...
In the context of making difficult poker decisions for money...
Usually while multi-tabling.
My idea would be to give EVERY high volume player...
Which means the Top 1% in volume...
A customized Security Token...
That has BOTH a fingerprint reader and GPS coordinates.
That would pretty much eliminate Third World Bot Farms...
Bots run by smart humans is sweat shop conditions...
Which is the only real threat to the online poker economy.
Did you know that for $1-2 to $5-10 NLHE on PP...
The Top 20 accounts by volume...
All play > 10,000 hands/day?
This is pretty much humanly impossible.
