Prohibited software during poker games
In our room, you can use only those programs that help you collect and save statistics and hand history on your device. (Questions regarding those programs' technical side and availability can be solved by contacting developers.)
Please note that all programs that help a player to make decisions in the game based on artificial intelligence (bots) are strictly prohibited. To protect the integrity of the iPoker network and ensure fairness for all players, iPoker Security monitors the active processes of players’ computers for the use of prohibited software while the poker client is active.
Сhanges in the policy for users of the third-party application Hand2Note
The following Hand2Note features are not available live at the tables: Positional and Dynamic HUD; Preflop and postflop diagrams (they'll be replaced by a list of hand categories); Stats based on player's known pocket cards; Auto color markers on players showing either player is a fish or a reg; Badges. These restrictions mean that the players will need to upgrade to the latest version or risk being deemed to use an illegal tool.
Prohibited Tools and Services
