Hello David,
We are writing to advise of the results of our investigation into your account.
Our investigation has taken into account all the information available to us, including information that you provided, technical data from PokerStars records, and other information.
PokerStars has found that your account was used in breach of the following extract of our Terms of Service:
5.2. PERSONAL USE. The Service is intended solely for the User's personal use. The User is only allowed to wager for his/her personal entertainment. Under no circumstances shall a User be permitted to use his/her "real money account" with PokerStars for any purpose other than for using the Service. The User must provide full and truthful information in respect of all details and information provided by the User to PokerStars and the User is obligated to update such details in the event of any change thereto. A User may only have one account with PokerStars and shall only use the Service using such single account. Furthermore a User shall not permit another person to use the Service via his account.
You may read our Terms of Service in full at:

When deciding how to respond to this situation this extract from Section 8.1 & 8.2 of our Terms of Service outlines the possible resolutions available for PokerStars:
8.1. Without prejudice to any other rights, if a User breaches in whole or in part any provision contained herein, PokerStars or any other company within the Group which provides services to the User reserves the right to take such action as it sees fit, including terminating this Agreement or any other agreement in place with the User, immediately blocking the User’s access to the Service or to any other service offered by the Group, terminating such User's account on the Site or on any other site operated by the Group, seizing all monies held in the User’s account on the Site or on any other site operated by the Group and/or taking legal action against such User.
8.2. You agree to fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless PokerStars, the Group and its shareholders, directors and employees from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including legal fees and any other charges whatsoever, howsoever caused, that may arise as a result of:
a. your breach of this Agreement, in whole or in part;
b. violation by you of any law or any third party rights; and
c. use by you of the Service or use by any other person accessing the Service using your Login Credentials (as defined below) , whether or not with your authorization.
It is PokerStars' view that your breach of our Terms of Service caused harm to other players. Consequently, we will be exercising our rights under Section 8.1 of our Terms of Service. As a result, we advise that:
1) PokerStars will close the accounts that you have used on PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker.
2) Indefinitely cease your account activity on PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker.
3) Your associates listed as owning the other involved accounts are now barred from playing at PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker in the future.
4) Close associates of either yourself or the owners of the other involved accounts are now barred from playing at PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker in the future.
5) PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker will be seizing the funds (and frequent player points) from the accounts that were used to perpetrate these rules breach.
6) PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker compensate players who played against the account 'Agrobot_388Z' and 'DDL666'. Those players were at a disadvantage as a result of your breach of our Terms of Service.
7) PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker will apply the balance seized from these accounts (including converting the FPPs to money) to compensate the victims of this activity.
We trust that this rather lengthy email explains PokerStars' position on the matter. We believe that this represents a fair outcome that adequately enforces PokerStars' rules and protects the interests of all players.
You are, unfortunately, no longer welcome to play on PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker.
Note: Please do not attempt to create any other accounts as doing so is a violation of our terms of service. If we discover a new account it will be closed without notice, you will be liable for any loss that could occur and the remaining funds could be confiscated.
Regards,
Mabell B.

Hello.
It is very unfair and frustrating decision.
I use Agrobot_388Z only by myself.
And I have never gave anybody access to it.
I understand that I breached FTP TOS.
But could you exactly explain what violation of Poker Strars TOS I made according to my PS account Agrobot_388Z?
And what exactly was my unfair advantage as a result of this violation?
David.
