This is actually something I've been toying with for some time. I have a pretty decent poker bot I've built from scratch, but I need a way of interacting with "real" poker clients, and configuring screen scrapers is BORING.

Do you recommend any other methods besides scraping? I've heard of people injecting DLLs into the process of the casino app, but I have no idea how to go about doing that.

I haven't been following the scene for a few years now, so can't tell if DLL injection and similar methods are detected by casino clients more easily and thus being riskier todo.

I know what you mean. We did DLL injection, network protocol analysis, reverse engineering, etc. and almost always went with screen scraping in the end due to its easiness and universality.

If you are lucky tho, the client might produce logs real-time and you can get events simply by polling the log file.
