ACR Poker’s November 4 software release enables ScreenShield automatically across Winning Poker Network while introducing an in-client assistant, revised mobile navigation, and additional tournament-entry functionality. The update implements the security change announced in October alongside changes to how players obtain help and find games.
The new assistant allows players to ask questions inside the poker client rather than leaving it to search for support. ACR’s release notes demonstrate guidance on settings, including changing the client’s language, and show the tool on desktop and mobile. The announcement does not describe it as a strategy assistant or a source of advice during poker hands.
Mobile changes reorganize the home screen into Fast Lane, Poker Central, and Action Central destinations. Cash-game filters include game type, betting structure, table size, and stakes. Spin 2 Get In XL appears in the tournament lobby and in a compact panel while a table is open; pricing and entry opportunities depend on the offer displayed in the client.
Automatic protection retains player controls
ScreenShield’s default activation follows the October announcement. The feature is intended to prevent protected table content appearing through supported screen-capture and screen-sharing methods. Players continue to see their own tables normally, and users who stream, record sessions, or share screens can disable protection in Settings.
The security changes followed concerns about remote-access software, including MeshAgent, on players’ devices. WPN said it reviewed more than 2,000,000 hands associated with affected devices and found no evidence of players using opponents’ hole-card information in those reviewed games. Detecting software with remote-access capabilities did not, by itself, establish that a device had been compromised.
Approximately 200,000 reviewed hands belonged to Paul Gregg. WPN said it found no evidence of hole-card knowledge in his play on its network, although it closed his account after considering broader investigative information and discussions with other operators. The network treated that account decision separately from its findings about the reviewed hands.
The November release also adds an Ace card-deck option alongside existing display settings. ACR cautions that ScreenShield offers an additional protective layer rather than eliminating every security risk. WPN’s separate consideration of broader restrictions on third-party software remains distinct from the changes implemented in this client release.
