Americas Cardroom Makes ScreenShield Default for Online Poker Players November 4
Oct 21, 2026
WPN also reports no evidence of hole-card knowledge across a 2M+ hand review.
San Jose, Costa Rica, October 21, 2026 -- Americas Cardroom players will receive ScreenShield protection by default from November 4 as Winning Poker Network expands the feature across the network. ScreenShield prevents protected poker-table content from appearing through the screen-capture and screen-sharing methods it covers, while normal play remains unchanged.
Players who intentionally stream, record sessions, create content or work with coaches can turn ScreenShield off directly in the client Settings page.
WPN is also evaluating whether third-party software should be prohibited from being used alongside the poker client. No final policy has been adopted.
The rollout follows a Game Integrity review of more than 2,000,000 hands from players whose devices had MeshAgent detected. WPN found no evidence that any reviewed player was using hole-card knowledge on the network. That total included approximately 200,000 hands played by Paul Gregg; WPN likewise found no evidence that he could see opponents' hole cards while playing on WPN.
Gregg's account was separately closed after WPN considered broader information gathered during the investigation and through communication with other operators. WPN says that decision was separate from its hole-card findings.
WPN has also shared information with other online poker operators about how this type of ScreenShield protection can be implemented.
