Ignition interlock devices or breath alcohol ignition interlock devices have been around for quite a few years now, but so far they have almost exclusively been used in vehicles and by police to make sure that drivers aren't under the influence of alcohol.

This is one of the occasions that i say researchers and scientists wasting their time. For real. So how hard will be to bypass this? Unless you are alone at home, you put your kid to take the test and you keep drinking

Yup! The little calendar tear off definitely says 1April so I guess you guys who even remotely commented on the sense of this breaking news were well and truly fooled! It's nice to see that the ability to be gullible has not died amongst mobsters. HAPPY APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!

If you notice the time of the responses you will see that they are on March 31st when Sir first posted. And he posted at about 20:00 on March 31st. Then he changed the time of the post on April 1st

Omg I just got fooled twice in the same minute. Oh well in my defense I am slightly pissed and this was fairly plausible, even a good idea, whilst the other was a little sick if I'm honest.

The news and 1st comment date were always April 1st, we had to publish it a few hours before the server switched to April 1st, but at that time it would already have been April 1st in many countries in the east
Didn't want to change the timestamp on the first real user comments though (sirthomas is an admin, so he didn't mind that I "rigged" his post a bit).

This would be too much if it was true! I can imagine some players puting their dogs to breathe to the machine so that they could play in the same. At the begining i was thinking about a control in casinos having PS events, but turning this a requirement for people at home wouldn't work. But there should exist a way to try to control people who's playing, not even if players would have to answer some simple questions while they were playing, just to see if they were real (bot preventing) and if they were in conditions to play with real money.
