The software could also check for known bots running as tasks, so if they know of a specific Chartwell Blackjack bot, they look for it running in the task list. Chartwell, however, is a non-download casino, so I am wondering how they manage to PROVE that a bot application is running the game, and not the player.
The only casino bot I am currently aware of is one for 888.com, which would also work on it's white labels, such as Reef Club and Lucky Ace, and plays their Blackjack. It is of considerable use in the regular Blackjack tournaments, although can obviously be used to "abuse" their sign-up boni as well.
If others have been developed, they are probably "word of mouth" on the bonus whoring websites, not wanting to draw too much attention to their existence until those in the know have filled their wallets with the early profits. They will then be flogged to the masses to squeeze every last penny from them.
If Chartwell cannot PROVE a bot was used in this case, they should pay up.
What is interesting is that this argument has developed into one about bots, and seems to miss this crucial element of the story (even if from another player in another post):-

On April 23rd I registered at Betfair Casino with a coupon code which entitled me to a 250GBP deposit bonus. I made a deposit of 246 and received a 246 GBP bonus. After clearing the wagering requirement I received a email from betfair support that I had 'abused' the promotion and the bonus had been taken away from my account. Since I have been playing with a lot of big bets (1 bet of 492, 1 bet of 984, and a lot of bets varying from 3 (the majority) till 100) I think it's ridiculous I am being treated here as a 'bonus abuser'.

This implies the good old fashioned strategy for clearing a 100% bonus on Blackjack.
1) Bet entire balance on first bet (£492), and win.
2) Repeat 1) but with whole £984 - win again.
3) Switch to the grind strategy to clear
WR (£3 bets mentioned)
4) Get a little impatient and fire off a few bigger bets, perhaps up to £100
It is highly likely this is what got security interested in these accounts, and I am wondering why they decided to use the "bot accusation" rather than plain old "promotional abuse" as they could have done with their pretty wide ranging term that seems to cover any strategy designed to maximise winnings, rather than lengthen play on a variety of games.
