After a review of the algorithms and programming behind the online poker aide, PartyGaming sent us a message simply stating that "the program Poker Mate does not currently violate our policy." They further offered to keep subsequent versions under constant review to ensure their continued suitability.         The approval of Poker Mate for use with Party Poker (and its subsidiary Empire Poker) is a huge advantage over other programs. Many programs advertised to help you win at poker are not sanctioned by Party.

The E-mail from Party Gaming: ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, August 03, 2006 7:16 PM Subject: Message from PartyPoker.com [#5554775] Hi Dan, We thank you for contacting us. At present, the program "Poker Mate" does not currently violate our policy, but such applications and their subsequent versions and upgrades are under constant review, to ensure their continued suitability. For a more detailed description on the policy pertaining to third party applications, I would request you to refer our Unfair Advantage Policy link which is mentioned below: http://www.partypoker.com/about_us/game_fairness/unfair_advantage.html I hope this resolves your concerns. If you have any further questions, comments or concerns, please contact us at alerts@partyaccount.com and we will be more than glad to assist you. Regards, Francis Hamilton Investigations Team alerts@partyaccount.com Excerpts from the Unfair Advantage Policy The Use of BOTS Certain companies offer for sale programs (“BOTS”) specifically created to play a game in place of an actual (human) player, and conceal its use from the other players, and avoid detection by the online gaming site. These programs are marketed by explicitly promising the prospective purchaser-user an unfair advantage over other online players not using that program. Does PartyGaming forbid/discourage all online programs? No, definitely not. Our own website provides programs for playing online. Our objective however, is in providing and promoting a level playing-field and the best possible user-experience for all of our Players. What counter-measures is PartyGaming taking to prevent the use of BOTS? Identification and detection counter-measures are in-place now and have been for some time. These efforts will continue to improve - so that we're able to more precisely detect existing BOTS, but more importantly so that as new BOTS are created/released, we can also prevent those from eroding the experience when on the website. The use of certain programs and their websites on the PartyGaming system are blocked outright. These are: WinHoldem, Holdem Memory, PokerBot plus, PokerEdge, Poker Prophecy, Poker Sherlock and PokerBot Pro. Unfortunately, we expect to add more programs to this list; at the same time though, if any of the currently listed programs are modified (e.g., a new release) so that the modified version no longer falls within our proscribed class, then our policy is to promptly unblock it (the modified version). :: About Poker Mate     Is this program legal?     Poker stats provided :: Get the Software     Download now!     Ten reasons to buy :: Online Poker Strategy     How to win at poker     How to study opponents :: Poker Bots & Cheats     Cheating at Party Poker     Party Poker Scanner     Cheating at Poker Stars     Cheat Titan Poker
