Is PlayerView against Party TOS?
I've been reading WinHoldem cheaters foiled . They are taking steps to crack down on bots. Will playerview be included in this sweep? I know pokertracker is officialy allowed but I don't have any information about playerview. Mabye amirpc or CT11 could possibly e-mail party and ask? I myself am sort of afraid of being the test case. I would hate to have my bankroll confiscated just so I can see someones vpip on the screen instead of in the game time window.

It uses the same information that is provided by party to every user and is allowed to be used in PokerTracker. It is not any kind of artificial intelligence or bot, it is simply displaying aspects from the game time window is what could be considered a mostly-transparent window overlapping a game window. I don't see any way how it could be against the TOS if the game time window is allowed. Freakin |

Also there is no way that party could detect that you are running it. If they tried to it would probably be in violation of some kind of privacy rights.

I don't think Party would have a problem with PlayerView if they knew what it was. If they looked at a screenshot like the ones they took from the WinHoldEm users, however, they might think we actually hacked their poker client software. Has anyone sent them a link to the PlayerView website and asked if it was OK (in an email that doesn't mention anything about WinHoldEm [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])? |

Re: Is PlayerView against Party TOS?
Sigh...this is a very silly thread.
you do realize that even the people who used the bots were only given warnings, right? if you're that afraid of it then don't use it. But I really don't think anyone has anything to be concerned about. You are using a way to keep YOUR notes on the screen instead of in the notes-box. This is NOT a big deal. |

Re: Is PlayerView against Party TOS?
I certainly think that Party would first give warning for this type of thing since you could do thid kind of stuff without PT even if you were dedicated to having stats on people. Theres no reason this shouldnt be allowed. All the information used to compile this program is given to us by the poker site itself. I think what they are worried about the most is a program that reads the cards realtime and does something about that (i.e. bot)

Plus WINholdem was a system that allowed the bots to collude with one another, which is clearly cheating by any standards.
Playerview does nothing of the sort |

Re: Is PlayerView against Party TOS?
The commonly held belief is that party only cares if you take real time information from it's program. Because PT and PV use only the HHFs there is no real time information. It is certainly possible that party will see all the numbers on your screen shot and wonder what it is but once they figure out what it is they shouldn't care.
