I've never even heard of this software. The only poker software I use is PT4 for other sites I play on. Would another software trigger a false reading? Concerned and confused at this point.
I feel for you, the way the site is so trigger happy yet seem to have no good detection system in place is terrifying for customers who have any kind of money on there. I remember other people here posting about the exact same issue months ago but it seems they are still using the same detection method.

After that i I checked my computer and responsed:
"Hello
This is a big mistake. I never use any prohibited software like( Hydra AI Poker Bot ).
I play high limits 6max holdem (nl1000 and nl2000) I usually play 2 or 3 tables
I can send any screenshots or logs files from my computer.
I use only Holdem manager2
I asked for support before:
Date: 4/13/2019 6:37:41 AM
Subject: allowed programs
“Good day
Thanks for contacting BetOnline.
We can confirm that you may use Holdem Manager2
Best Regards,
Graham

Thanks"

Today I received a new letter:
"Good day
This is Jeff from Betonline, I hope that this email finds you well.
Please be advised that we continue to detect this software on your device. We strongly suggest that you do a thorough search on your PC and completely uninstall this software.
Your understanding and cooperation is greatly appreciated.

After that I double-checked my computer and found the cause of the problem!!!
One of my graphics device driver name is Hydra. This is graphics processing units.
These processes are called: HydraDM.exe and HydraDM64.exe
They start automatically when i run my computer.
These files in my computer are located:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\HydraVision (a lot of ".dll" files in this folder)
Also i cheked in wikipedea:

About AMD HydraVision Desktop Manager
AMD Radeon Software
AMD Radeon Software (formerly named ATI Catalyst and AMD Catalyst) is a device driver and utility software package for Advanced Micro Devices's graphics cards and APUs. It is built using the Qt toolkit and runs on Microsoft Windows and Linux, 32- and 64-bit x86 processors.

Software bundle
Radeon Settings
Radeon Settings replaced the old AMD Catalyst Control Center. AMD Catalyst Control Center uses Qt as part of its toolchain.

Supported hardware
AMD Radeon Software is targeted to support all function blocks present on a GPU's or APU's die. Besides IC targeted at rendering, this includes display controllers as well as their SIP blocks to do video decoding, Unified Video Decoder (UVD) and video encoding Video Coding Engine (VCE).

The device driver also supports AMD TrueAudio, a SIP block to do sound related calculations.

Supported products
AMD Radeon Software supports the following AMD (and ATI-tradition) product lines targeted at rendering:

Graphics processing units (GPUs)
Accelerated processing units (APUs)
The following product lines are probably[original research?] not supported by the AMD Radeon Software, but instead by some other software, which (for example) is OpenGL-certified:
AMD FireStream product line for GPGPU in supercomputers and such
AMD FireMV product line for multi-monitor setups (deprecated by AMD Eyefinity being available on all consumer products)[citation needed]
AMD FirePro product line for professionals who require certified OpenGL support
Multi-monitor support
Main article: AMD Eyefinity
Starting in Catalyst 14.6 AMD has enabled mixed resolution support, allowing for a single Eyefinity display group to be created while each monitor runs at a different resolution. This feature is made possible through the addition of two new Eyefinity display modes, Fit and Expand, which join the traditional Fill mode. In both Fit an Expand mode AMD is compensating for the mismatched resolutions by creating a virtual desktop that is of a different resolution than the monitors, and then either padding it out or cropping it as is necessary.[1]
Before Eyefinity, there was the Windows-only software "HydraVision", a desktop/screen management software mostly providing multi-monitor and virtual-screen management. It has extensive hot-key support."


Can I safely use Betonline with my graphics videocard in the future?

Thanks

Because, still, I have never downloaded anything to cheat. I don't know how many times I can tell that to someone.

I have taken all my funds off of BetOnline for now. Bitcoin cash out took about 2-4 hours to hit my wallet, very fast. The reason I've decided to not play poker on BetOnline for now is because they are withholding our VIP points. After 5 months of having our VIP held hostage enough is enough. And the fact they won't manually cash them in is a big red flag that the site might be having money issues. Another reason I refuse to give BetOnline my business right now is because of all the PLO bots they do nothing about. At least ACR admitted they had bots and published a list off banned bots and refunded some players something. I am by no means an ACR fan. I will be very happy to redeposit my money on BetOnline as soon as the VIP points are unlocked for use.

100% agree
11-27-2019 , 12:20 AM
Can't fault that decision one bit.

It's absolutely ridiculous not only that the previous rewards system was not kept in place until the moment the new one was ready, the lack of communication prior to the change, but also the ridiculous amount of time it has taken to implement the new system. I have no idea what they were thinking doing that around the same time they opened this forum. It looks terrible and was an incredibly bad decision on their part.
11-27-2019 , 07:11 PM
Registered in TigerGaming. After 5 days of the game, they blocked their account. 3 weeks they did not tell me the reason for the lock !!!! Then they said that the reason for using VPN. November 19, I confirmed that I used VPN because they block tigergaming.com in Russia.

November 25th a letter came:
Thank you for contacting Tigergaming. This is Misha from Customer Services. I hope this e-mail finds you well.
I have reviewed your account and I have see that your account is currently suspended. I have escalated this and informed management that you did inform us that you are using a VPN.
Kindly please be be advised to wait 24-48 hours for feedback from us.

48 hours have passed.I again ask them why they are silent.

Please be advised that your account is still under review,should the review be completed you will be notified.Thank you for getting in contact with us.


This is a simple problem that can be solved in one day. They’ve been bullied for a month now. This is the worst support service I've seen in ten years of playing poker.

PT4 just had an update that allows you to import HHs and use a HUD on Chico
Since I dont want to break any rules and be a 100% certain: Am I allowed to use it?
11-28-2019 , 02:03 PM
I thought if PT4 supports it is legitimate to use HUD. Even so I didn't get it to work.
11-28-2019 , 06:13 PM
Most likely, I'd still rather ask beforehand

it looks like you still have to buy something like the Card Catcher to be able to use it real-time ($60/year) https://www.advancedpokertools.com/p...hicoConverter/

but what I found very interesting about it...

"Observer mode allows you to collect hands history without participating in the game

so it allows you to data-mine??

If you do not need players who play plus, then you could immediately give me the money. If the reason was the use of VPN then you would not forbid me to play.Why torture a man for a month?

This is Melanie Thompson from Player Services. I hope you're doing great.
This email is to kindly inform you that your account has been reactivated and setup for cash deposits only.
It’s like a skunk took a cookie from you. You are running after him. You shout to him - "why did you do this? Give me back my cookie." And he just farts in your face. Whole month!!! Then you will find out that he speaks English. And he says that he doesn’t need your cookie, but he just likes to fart in your face.
11-30-2019 , 08:55 PM
There is very likely a huge new bot ring operating in mtts. It has emerged over the last 2 or 3 months. Many of the accounts play average buyins in the 20 to 30 dollar range but are playing high level gto based games. Any chance we can make some kind of mtt bot containment thread? It seems like regs are going have to help police the games in a big way because at the moment there are a ton of new bots in action. I can provide some screen names and some similarities between the accounts here if that is a good idea.

I think you are leaving out the part where you actually went into the skunk's home first and voluntarily gave him your cookie...

unless it malfunctions like the ACR bot that was caught how do you spot an mtt bot on BOL???
12-01-2019 , 12:59 AM
You can't spot them for sure but there are suspicious characteristics. The reg pool in mtts has remained fairly constant and grown slowly over the last two years but over the last 2 or 3 months there has been a huge increase in new regs, and playing at a level that is much higher than you would expect for american regs at that abi. They play good gto styles, have opened new accounts within the last 3 months, and play abi in the same range and are winning. There are some new regs that could fit this description including European pros and probably old bots that don't but there is a very suspicious increase in players that fit this description.

i don't understand this argument, they are playing too good for their ABI?

BOL has been having more promotions the last few months so that could be a reason for the added players
12-01-2019 , 05:52 AM
Buckguy could you provide some more information (pm me names if you don't feel comfortable posting). I played a lot with the Party, MPN and Ipoker bots and have not noticed anything suspicious yet. Not to say nothing is going on but the player pool is so small that I would be pretty surprised.
12-01-2019 , 03:30 PM
Yea promotions and new tourneys from BOL is probably playing a role. There are definitely good players that play that abi. Alot of times, guys that play that abi have created tricky styles to win and are less theory based. The new accounts are sizing and playing games that indicate they've used solvers and come from tough games if they aren't bots. There are also a decent amount of new Brazilian pros, there names and styles indicate it, they tend to play lag exploitative games. I think its very unlikely a ton of Euro pros fitting this description came over to betonline within the last 2 or 3 months in huge numbers all of a sudden given it's a difficult timezone. Investigating accounts that are winning and have been opened within the last three months would help a lot. PM coming Mement.
12-01-2019 , 08:58 PM
so can you have a solver on your computer, obviously not open, but downloaded on your computer while playing on the client?

Hi PapaPackerPoker,

I understand your frustration, and the VIP points programme was a huge miscommunication, and it will be rectified.

We are working on all areas of the site, and any information you have on suspected accounts please send to me privately so I can forward it to the correct team.

Kind Regards
Mike

Hi... i need help my friend...
For about a month now I have been using the "BetOnline Poker Odds Calculator" tool in an excellent way ... during all that time it has been working well ... But today it stopped working ... the HUD is no longer go...
The only thing I could notice ... is that the Poker application started to perform an automatic update, then once I got it ... I started playing the game, I loaded the HUD "BetOnline Poker Odds Calculator" and it didn't work anymore ... !
12-02-2019 , 06:10 PM
You can’t chalk up 4+ months of no VIP point access to “miscommunication”. It’s straight up theft. Imagine if American Airlines frequent flyers were suddenly told “sorry, no more point redemptions indefinitely.” That would be insane. But here we are. Obviously you, Mike, are not immediately responsible, but the company’s actions are pretty indefensible.

The thread linked below was specifically made for posts dealing with the Odds Calculator. There isn't an immediate solution for your current issue that I can find in that thread, but you might find some more helpful advice by reading through the thread.

After the poker client updates, sometimes the Calculator(or other HUDs) will need updated too. This can take a couple days, but it should happen in the near future.

Downloaded odds calculator today on windows. My poker client wouldn’t work at all afterwards. Uninstalled both the client and calculator then reinstalled poker client. Still didn’t work. Had to run client as administrator just to play. They blocked all outside software and now this garbage
