thepokerdb.com and its new update

[flyingmoose]

Since I'm a big fan of not having my account suspended, I want to get this straight. Using thepokerdb right now, while it's free for everyone, does not violate the terms and conditions of Pokerstars, right? Once thepokerdb becomes a subscription service, however, using it while playing will be against the T&C of Pokerstars, correct?

I consider thepokerdb a pretty great tool, especially when considering deals at final tables, but after seeing a few homies suffer major scares when Party decided to crack down on subscription services, I want to find out where the line stands on Stars.

ask Pokerstars.

You might want to send n82 a pm.

also, I don't know how ps could know who subscribes.

I am curious, how the hell does thepokerdb.com have access to all of Stars tournament finishes?

It's public record, AFAIK. thepokerdb probably just requests every tournament summary.

Yep, pretty much, although our automation software does it for us based on number ranges that I put into it.

However, we're moving on to custom-written scraping software so we can do STTs, other sites, etc...
