While betting or casino bots are not necessarily illegal, online gaming companies and other players majorly disapprove of and discourage them. Usually, online sportsbooks, casinos, and other platforms specify that betting or casino bots are forbidden under their terms and conditions.

Automated betting in card games and online casinos aren't the only types of bots. Data scrapers crawl the web and collect data for various sports betting arbitrage bots and bot betting software.
