PokerStars tear up the script

It looks like PokerStars are about to ban "seating scripts".

It's been widely reported on Social Media, & Little Danny re-tweeted it.

Stars then stated.....

PokerStars confirmed that it would soon ban any software that automates the process of filtering, sorting or joining a table based on profiling opponents.

“In order to continue to protect our players and enhance the overall experience, in the coming months we will be introducing a range of changes to our Third Party Tools & Services policy, which we will communicate ahead of time,” a PokerStars spokesperson told PRO.

“One such change is we will be prohibiting any tool or service for table selection efficiency that filters or sorts available games, or automates/semi-automates the process of joining available games based on opponent gameplay statistics or notes,” the statement continues.

“For example, the use of seating scripts that join players to a set number of tables that have an average statistic for opponents above/below a certain figure, or work off pre-assigned player notes, are prohibited,” it added.


'Stars get bashed up whatever they do, but even on 2+2 this was overwhelmingly supported as a great move.

Looks like 'Stars are continuing to move away from appealing to the Pros, & instead, focussing on recreational players.

I've got no axe to grind with the Pros, but this looks a great move for recreational players generally.

Next to go, HUD's maybe?

It took them far too long. I have no idea why they allowed that predatory **** to go on for so many years. What was the rationale?

HUDs might be next but I don't think it will be anytime soon. So many of their players rely on the HUD and if they can't use it they probably move to a site where they can. Without the HUD they stop becoming good 'poker players'.

It is against the Sky Poker T & C's to use HUD's, or any other form of third party software.

That's great news, a good positive step from Star's, I hope they keep going on that road to baning 3rd party software.

Doesn’t mean HUDS aren’t used on Skypoker though Eddie.

Really! That is interesting, I had always assumed it was impossible for huds to work on sky, but then again I'm no programmer.

It’s just like any pc game. Hackers find a way around everything but eventually get caught.

surely sky would be able to find out which players are

but then again I haven't got a clue when it comes to computers
