In September 2007 the Gambling Commission (UK) introduced and enforced regulations that oblige operators (ie Casinos) to observe and monitor a range of criteria with respect to 'Responsible Gambling' a list of which can be found at the link above.

Specifically, "Operators must ensure that the terms by which gambling is offered are not unfair."

To be sure, 'Responsible Gambling' is much more than ploppy Joe betting beyond his means.

Whether the prohibition of 'bots' is unfair would IMHO be determined and measured by a 'net effect' to a players bankroll.

In addition, again IMHO, the intent of such 'bot' prohibition by said Operator (Casino) would bear witness in determining fairness/unfairness to players.

Whether the player (we remember you OP) employed the services of a 'bot' or not is moot in terms of 'Responsible Gambling' regulated by the Gambling Commission (UK). BetFair Casino may not fall under the UK regulator but nonetheless even the Maltese LGA would be strongly influenced by such legislation.
