Abstract
Systems, methods and computer readable media are disclosed for a trusted proxy to intercept communications between an untrusted computerized gaming system and an online multi-player gaming service that requires games to be trusted, allowing the untrusted computerized gaming system to use the multi-player gaming service. In addition to allowing the untrusted computerized gaming system to use the multi-player gaming service in general, the trusted proxy can also limit the extent of the interaction between the untrusted computerized gaming system and the multi-player gaming service.
