Actually, every site I've ever visited has had a no-bot rule. All in all, this isn't as big a problem as you'd think. If someone wants to play me with a bot, I say let 'em, most computerized opponents play very tight, and usually either too passively, or too aggressively. At the lower limits, using a bot is lame, and unlikely to make you much money after the rake, and at the higher limits, I'm pretty sure it will get you killed (monetarily, not literally).
My complaint against the site is that it condones collusion and even offers strategies and services that can get someone started down this path. As far as I'm concerned, for this alone, everyone in the company should be dragged out to the street and shot.
But even so, most sites use reasonably sophisticated anti-collusion routines in their software to detect cheats. (Check out Fuzzy's imperial palace thread to see an example of this at work). I'm pretty sure we won't see any quotes on casinorobot's site from users who set up 9 accounts, deposited $500 in each, then got their deposits confiscated when the casino busted them. Its gonna happen though, and I feel no sympathy whatsoever for these slobs. So they lost $4500, they got off cheap...I know people that'd permanently ruin your kneecaps for pulling these stunts.
And as far as the robots for the other casino games are concerned, blackjack, roulette, etc. I can't imagine a reason why casinos wouldn't be bashing down casinorobot's doors to enable their platform on the software. I shudder to think about how much money microgaming makes off of their autoplay features, seems to me that this would be the same thing.

He took every cent of his savings on a trip to the local track
He got a tip from a friend, bet it all down to win on a horse named Heart Attack.
Well now he ain't no fool boys, he didn't bet it all
So everything was cool when that horse took a fall
But then he turned around and blew the rest trying to win it all back...
