PokerStars Prohibited Software

PokerStars does not allow certain types of tools and services at any time and/or while playing. Prohibited items are broken down into five categories.

Any program that shares hole card data with other players or programs is colluding, and is prohibited.

Any program that works off of a central database of player profiles or hands played is prohibited.

Any program that plays without human intervention (a ‘bot’) or reduces the requirement of a human playing. For instance, an ‘auto-folder’ is prohibited.

The practice of datamining (observing games without playing in order to build up a database of hand histories for future reference) is prohibited.

Any software that offers direct game play advice on the appropriate action to take.
