It scrapes the screen for realtime stats. Not allowed.

Only on some poker clients are the screen read to obtain the cards on the table. And there is nothing disallowed in that. Several other major poker programs does the same thing. In fact, I've been in contact with a supporter of one of the larger Prima sites, and this supporter was using Hold'em Assistant himself!

Nice to see you've stepped-up and admitted to being affiliated with Holdem Assistant. For a while there, you were shillin' like a villian.

I've never hidden the fact, that I am the developer of Hold'em Assistant. As a matter of fact, I've posted that fact a couple of times here previously. No reason to hide it, as I don't think I have anything at all to be ashamed of in that regard - on the contrary /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hold'em Assistant does not read the screen at all on the Party client (it isn't necessary). Only the handhistory files. On Party Poker, Hold'em Assistant works in much the same way as Pokertracker with an add-on or Poker Office, just to name a few examples.

There is definately no violation of Party Terms of Use going on.
