PokerAndroid FAQ
Why do i get an error as soon as i try to run PokerAndroid?
This is probably because you do not have the Microsoft .NET framework 1.1 installed on your machine. You may want to download and install from Microsoft's web site . If the problem continues please Contact Support.
What is the .NET framework and how do I know if I have it installed?
It is a set of common tools required by many newer windows applications. If you don't have the newset version it will automatically be installed with our product. You can read me about the .NET framework on Microsoft's Website
Is this software legal?
There is nothing illegal about using this software however please check with each individual poker sites license and user agreement. Many sites don't do scans for software such as ours however some sites such as party poker do. Please be aware party poker scans your system regular for various things and even takes screenshots. They are notorious for suspending accounts on multiple occasions in the past unrelated to PokerAndroid. We find Party Poker very non customer friendly and while our software will work on their site we recommend using it on other sites that do not monitor your system and hassle patrongs. Please keep in mind Rekop Industries, PokerAndroid and its affiliates can't be responsible if any poker site closes your account or seizes funds for use of our software.
Why is PokerAndroid losing money?
What profile are you using? Are you using the default profiles from
Online Holdem Inspector or are you using a custom profile? The profile that you use in
Online Holdem Inspector determines the strategy for folding, calling and raising. Please be sure you have read our Profiles page. Also keep in mind that while PokerAndroid will follow good poker playing strategy with the right profile it will not win hundreds of dollars a day if he is playing .25/.50 cent table. It will play poker well using the profile but can not make bad hands win and will not attempt too. Also keep in mind that just like a real player PokerAndroid can go through swings, even his Aces can be cracked.

Where did my PokerAndroid window go?
PokerAndroid does not reside in the taskbar. You can press the hotkey you have designated for focus on the Exits/Hotkeys tab or if you have lost where the window has gone to then you can do the following. Scroll through all your windows by holding down the "ALT" key on your keyboard and pressing the "TAB" key to scroll through all the current windows. When the PokerAndroid window is selected release both keys and PokerAndroid will maximize and receive focus.
Why does the mouse move but not press a button or simply not move on my turn?
A few users have had the following issue on Windows Vista. On your turn the mouse cursor moves to the correct button but does not actually press the button.
Cause: On Windows Vista in order to programatically make a call to the mouse and press a button you need to be running the program making the mouse movement at the same permissions as the other running program.
Resolution: Pokerandroid needs to run as an administrator on Windows Vista:
To Run the Program on Windows Vista:
- Right Click the executable file
- Click properties
- Click the compatibility tab
- Check the option that says "Run this program as administrator"
- Click Ok
