ACR Poker rolls out ScreenShield on WPN after remote-access concerns

Following concerns about remote-access or screen-control software that could expose protected table content such as hole cards, the Winning Poker Network on Sept. 29, 2026 contacted accounts meeting its detection criteria and switched on its new ScreenShield protection for them, and has since activated the feature more broadly for ACR Poker players. ScreenShield keeps protected WPN table content visible on a player's own monitor while blocking covered external screen-capture and screen-sharing methods. WPN said its review found no compromise of its own systems, poker software or official downloads, and its Game Integrity team is separately investigating relevant player and account activity, with compensation to be determined based on the findings if wrongdoing and harm to players are established.
