So that's is.
Here is quotes of my today querries to partypoker reps (last email is most important):
1. My letter to them
[ QUOTE ]
I am player at partypoker (nickname XXXX). I haven't played
some time and thought about returning but today I encountered topic
on local poker forum:
http://forum.cgm.ru/msg?goto=159672&
And was astonished. You have closed accounts and withold funds
of some players because thay used side programs like pokertracker,
pokeracehud and spadeeye.
As said in topic on phone conversation your representative said that
your company FORBID using of any side programs while playing on your
site. Is is right?
Is this information:
http://www.partypoker.com/about_us/g...advantage.html
outdated and not reflect current policy of your company? Will my
account will be blocked and funds witholded if I will use
Pokertracker, Pokeracehud or SpadeEye while playing on your site?
What current policy of partypoker about using side programs? What
programs if any I can use while playing and what I can't use? I
expect full answer because if you don't allow programs that gather
statistic to improve my play I will definately move to other site.

Thank you for fast answer. My only question what is "cheating" in
terms of partypoker?
I read and understand your unfair advatage policy article but is still not
clear to me.
Do you aware of this programs?
PokerTracker
www.pokertracker.com
(program reads handhistories on hard disk and then
calculates average numbers about any of participiant of hands and
store it on database. (how often played enter the pot, how often
player raised etc.)
PokerAcehud
www.pokeracesoftware.com
(Program that displays on screen statistical information
about each player on table from pokertracker database)
SpadeEye
www.spadeeye.com
(Program that reads all players on selected limit of play (NL
200 for example) and displays statisctical information about each
player currently playing).
BetPot autohotkey script
www.overcards.com
(It allows to change bet in terms of
bigblind by mouse wheel to not pring it on keyboard)
None of this programs dosen't use any AI (does not perfom any
desicions) but only calculate, stores and display information that player can
have by himself.
Is this programs allowed to use while playing on PartyPoker or not? I
wondering this because as you should understand, I don't want to lose
large sums of money confiscated because of rules violation.
Thank you.

And DRUMS, their answer:

Thank you for contacting Party Poker Customer Care.
The programs you have mentioned indeed are not A.I. programs. These programs are considered to be BOTs.
Certain companies offer for sale programs (“BOTS&#8221
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.
Once identified, a player using forbidden programs will usually be notified. In that notice, we explain what we believe this player is doing and what steps we will take if he does not stop doing it immediately. In the most extreme cases we are prepared to suspend their PartyAccount and confiscate the funds in that PartyAccount without prior notice.
If you need any further information or assistance please, do not hesitate to contact us.
We wish you a wonderful time playing with Party Poker!
