Impossible to stop, unless you strictly play heads up poker.

Even in the far fetched scenario where you place participants in Faraday cages, they can still communicate by timing bets, changing amounts, etc.

Look left; look right. If you're not colluding with either of those guys, then they're probably colluding against you. :-/

Trivially circumvented with a proxy server, or simply, some other machine on a different network.

I experimented with this a few years ago. Even going as far as creating https://bitflop.me. I came to the conclusion that the future legal battles would just not be worth it.
