Although the new rules have made seating scripts less powerful, developers are finding new ways to please their customers.
PokerStars’ new policy on third-party tools came into effect on March 4. A number of changes have been implemented on the use of third-party software programs including the most significant change— restrictions on automated seating scripts and limitations on the use of hand charts.
Many of these changes were previously revealed to software developers by PokerStars back in late January. The room had also confirmed its plans to implement its new third-party tools policy to Poker Industry PRO—our premium news site and data analytics platform dedicated to online poker, although at the time, dates for it to come into effect had not yet been officially decided.
