Message: [QUOTE="CowboyStomp, post: 6017893, member: 456370"] WPN (ACR) with its newest software update has started enforcing the policy for External assistance tools (“EAT”)... I never knew about it myself but the policies have been on the website since at least Aug 2020 according to the [URL="http://web.archive.org/web/20200815000000*/https://www.americascardroom.eu/poker-customer-support/game-integrity/"]Internet way back machine[/URL] It boils down to this.. No HUD or tool can show any info about the hand in play and ACR has a right to ban any tools or players using them at any time. If you play mainly on ACR I wouldn't invest in a HUD if you haven't bought one yet. Most of the policies are the same as other sites but the tools generally accepted "on sites that allow third party software" are being banned as well. It is the most restrictive of policies for sites that allow HUD type software that I'm aware of. Most of the rules are the same but the prohibition on any information on the current hand is very different from most sites. [URL="https://www.americascardroom.eu/poker-customer-support/game-integrity/"]Specifically, WPN and sites on the Network prohibit[/URL] 4.2.1 Poker bots or any other piece of software that might play poker without human intervention or otherwise gives advice on how to play in real time. 4.2.2 Software that provides a human player, current live game state information, such as pot odds and outs, or an absolute hand strength calculator. 4.2.3 Tools that offer real-time advice (RTA) on how to act at the table, (for example, tools known as push-this-button bots or advisor). 4.2.4 Programs capable of complex ICM, Nash Equilibrium, Expected Value (EV), Game Theory Optimal (GTO) based actions, which can be used in real time, i.e. making live play decisions, (i.e. advise on how to play the current hand.) 4.2.5 Auto or Semi-Auto chart retrieval software keyed to current live play. 4.2.6 Hole-card sharing tools. (Real time sharing of hole cards is a clear violation of universally accepted poker rules against collusion and constitutes cheating.) Further, WPN and its participating poker operators deem prohibited a practice of massively collecting, scraping or observing or sharing data-mined hands in which a player did not participate. 4.2.7 Hotkeys that include conditions based on the live scenario you face in play in real-time are prohibited. 4.2.8 Older but usable hand tracker versions and their HUDs with features non-compliant to our list of acceptable EAT specs from above. 4.2.9 Seating script software which may perform but are not limited to the following functions: Reserving a seat Securing a seat Player nickname targeting Player labeling Collecting data on hands in which the user is not actively a participant [B]In addition I found this statement below when researching the email I was sending: [/B] After exchanging emails ACR's game integrity team today at ACR I wouldn't be surprised if they ban more tools. They will not be publishing a list of banned or allowable software and say it's up to the software makers and users to understand the rules or be banned by ACR from playing if caught using banned software. [URL="https://www.americascardroom.eu/poker-customer-support/game-integrity/"]10.2[/URL] WPN considers that usage of an EAT may provide an advantage to the end-user. In principle, such advantage might be deemed as “fair” or “unfair” by WPN at any time at its sole discretion, without prior notice. A combination of different EATs may provide a user an aggregate unfair advantage. [/QUOTE]
