A regulated online casino that verifies identity wouldn’t stop a bot. You’d just sign up under your name and use it. If your bot isn’t colluding it would just look to the casino like you’re good at poker.

Show me your no limit holdem bot for a 9 player table.

Do you think I can't exploit that after buying the history of millions of hands it played on some shady website.

Just fyi 6max bots were destroying online $5/$10 games on Party Poker (back then the biggest site) in 2009. That was before public solvers, other algorithmic advancements and huge hardware progress.

Not alone, but presumably the online casino also has some sort of anti-botting measures, and if your bot gets banned you can't re-use your identity.

You'd want to use a friend's identity and a different IP for one of the bots.

The best bots are from cheating rings where the bots are colluding, not from bots that play poker perfectly (which don't exist in any real sense for full ring poker).
