  • INCENTIVIZING FAIR GAMEPLAY THROUGH BOT DETECTION PENALIZATION WITHIN ONLINE GAMING SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20220193555
    Abstract: A bot detection system and method analyzes application programming interface (API) data associated with an online gaming player account to make a determination of whether the player account is engaging in cheating by using a bot during online game play. The API data may be analyzed to generate API metadata that is descriptive of the API data, such as an indication of how many API calls were made to a particular API during a particular time period on behalf of the player account. The API data may be applied to one or more bot detection models to make an assessment of whether the player account is using a bot. If bot usage is detected with a player account, enforcement actions, such as slowing down game play or banning the player account, may be implemented for that player account.
