Can there be such arrangement in BBO Software settings that UNDO button if made available, in that case it will remain active for Only 5 Sec, if UNDO is not clicked within those 5 sec, it becomes Inactive. Also after every bid there should be delay of 5 sec and next bidder doesn't see anything. This will avoid frictions due to UNDO Request and allow Genuine UNDOs to operate.

I like the idea of an undo timer, but if implemented it should be a table option, not mandatory, because some people like to give undo. This feature is unlikely to place high on the devs priority list though, since "no undo" is already an option.

Agree it should be an option only. I once saw a very good player misclick ♦ instead of ♥ as opener and not realize it till two rounds later. (Distractions happen.) Undo to the rescue!

Anything with a 5 second time delay does not really fit in well with the vagaries of internet connections.
