Q. In general, what kind of tools and services are acceptable?
A. The following types of tools and services are generally acceptable:
- Tools, services or charts that simply tell you odds, starting hand recommendations, etc.
- Tools and services that profile your opponents, but make use of only information which you have accumulated by your own play.
- Macros and Hotkey programs that don't have any bearing on gameplay logic. For example, you can use AutoHotKey, MacroExpress or AutoIt3 to make it such that you 'bet the pot' when you press the 'P' key, but you cannot use these or other utilities to create an autofolder that folds poor starting hands, or that automates advice or actions from any other program.
Q. In general, what kinds of tools and services are prohibited?
A. The following types of tools and services are prohibited:
- Any program that shares hole card data with other players or programs is colluding, and is prohibited.
- Any program that works off of a central database of player profiles or hands played is prohibited.
- Any program that plays without human intervention (a 'bot') or reduces the requirement of a human playing. For instance, an 'auto-folder' is prohibited.
- The practice of datamining (observing games as a non-player for extended periods in order to build up a large database of hand histories for future reference) is prohibited.
- Any software that offers direct game play advice on the appropriate action to take, and which is also programmable or configurable beyond a very basic level.
Q. There's a tool / service I'd like to use, but it's not on any of these lists. Now what?
A. Please send an email to
support@pokerstars.com with all the information you have about the tool or service in question. Please include a URL to a relevant web page if at all possible. We will review the tool or service and let you know if it's permitted or not.
