iPoker Clarifies Policy on Hand2Note and Third-Party Software

Recently, rumors have been circulating that iPoker (RedStar Poker, Champion Poker) has started banning players for using Hand2Note. These claims are false. iPoker has confirmed that tracking software — including Hand2Note — is not prohibited on the network.

That said, there are important details every player should understand about what software is allowed, what isn’t, and how to avoid potential conflicts when playing on iPoker.

iPoker does not forbid the use of tracking programs such as Hand2Note. However, the operator makes it clear that these tools are not officially recommended. In some cases, external trackers may conflict with the poker client, which could affect stability or performance.

Players who choose to use Hand2Note or similar tools do so at their own risk. For a seamless and fully supported experience, iPoker suggests relying on the built-in HUD, which can be easily enabled directly within the poker client’s settings.

While trackers are permitted, there are several categories of software that iPoker strictly forbids. These fall into two main groups: tools that are always banned, and those that are prohibited while the client is running.

• Bots, GTO and RTA software: Any program that plays without human input or offers real-time strategic advice based on the current game state.
• Datamining tools: Compiling hand histories by observing games without actively playing, or using data gathered in this way.
• Seating scripts: Programs designed to automatically or unfairly assist in table and opponent selection.

• Advanced reference materials: Software or services that provide advice beyond a basic level, or tools that make it easier to access such materials in real time.
• Equity calculators: Programs that run advanced equity calculations during active play.

If you’re playing on iPoker, you can use tracking tools like Hand2Note, but remember:

• They are not officially supported and may occasionally cause issues.
• The built-in HUD offers a stable alternative with full network support.
• Using prohibited tools such as bots, datamining software, or real-time solvers can result in penalties, including account suspension or banning.

By following these guidelines, players can ensure a fair and reliable online poker experience while avoiding unnecessary risks.
