Has anyone used global poker enhancement suite? is it legit? Is it against Global Poker's TOS? Thoughts?

Here is the link: https://app.pokerstats.io/

The page describes it as:

"Global Poker Enhancement Suite (GPES) is a Chrome extension that adds important features to Global Poker, including the ability to export hand histories for PokerTracker and Hold'em Manager. Future versions will add table filtering and enhanced betting controls for more efficient and enjoyable multi-tabling."

Yeah that guy was on the forums a couple of months ago and the thread disappeared, so I would say Global doesn't like it. Against, TOS? Not sure, I could make an argument either way.

With that said what I don't like about it is I need a subscription with his site and an extension. Being a browser based game I don't want any software in my browser "helping" me. From my perspective it would just be too easy to game the system and see hole cards and those kinds of things.

I'd love to find out if this is or isn't against the TOS.

Reviewing hands is a nightmare on the site. Does any one have a solution for this?

No, which is why it would be nice to know what the GP position is on this.

Given how serious they are about catering to the rec players, I'd assume they'd be swift to take action on those found using it, even if it's a grey area in TOC. Not worth the risk.

Yeah, I'm not until I hear the official spiel on it.

There were some issues with the way the poster had promoted the product in a couple of different threads where he shouldn't have, and as a his free support thread was deleted. He was then talking about paying to advertise it, but it had come to my attention that Global had an issue with it being used on their site. I let him know he would have to work that out with Global before we'd consider selling him advertising. That was about a month ago; I haven't heard from him since.

what kind of actions do you take against it?

Are you saying you just dont like people using it or you will ban or temp ban or lock people's accounts?
08-08-2017 , 06:49 AM
imo it's good to prevent software like this, keeps the regs away.

Are there any plans in the future to improve hand history review? It would be nice to sort by biggest wins and losses which is why the software was appealing to me.

Thank you for the clarification. That makes a lot of sense why it just up and disappeared that one day, and yeah he was board line spamming threads with it so I can see from a 2+2 viewpoint he needed a timeout.

Here's what they told me when I e-mailed about GPES and other 3rd party software:

...There was nothing specific in our Terms of Use with regard to this. However, we do not support the use of these third party software as this may affect the smooth flow of the system while you're playing on the site.

Can you be more clear?

If you say we can't use it, I won't. If you say you advise us to not use it but we can, then I will.

Do we even have the ability to use a HUD? How would it work considering there are no hand histories available?

This is rather arbitrary information unless you provide the actual email copy. Please post the actual email for clarification.

Way to provide value to the community.
08-10-2017 , 08:58 PM
lol i emailed them and they said the same thing. It looks like they have no idea what their policy is on this.
08-11-2017 , 07:37 AM
Complete guess here so take it for what its worth, but I think what Global is communicating is they don't like the HUDs, but also don't want to actively be in the business of trying to shut them down. At least that is what I am inferring from what I am reading them say, and not reading them say.

Legally speaking, not supporting it does not conflate to it being illegal. It would stand to more likely absolve them from any issues the player has from lag, technical glitches, and even a bug/virus that enabled the software provider the ability to see hole cards or get your password information on the site, (which would not be too difficult to do).

If it was against the TOS, it would be in simple straightforward verbiage to let players know there is a penalty to pay if caught so they could enforce it.

+1 and is the reason I steer clear entirely. It would be simple for the maker of the extension to do any or all of that.

And what would make it even more grand is if there is a subset of people that exist that wonder if Global is rigged, and how can we trust Global, but then would see this extension, "That looks handy." Install. Get bleed dry on this and any other online poker site and then say "This proves it, Global was rigged". But I digress.
