888 Poker New Jersey and WSOP New Jersey not supported
As of May 1st, 2018, SharkScope Desktop no longer supports WSOP New Jersey and 888 Poker New Jersey.
Three US states have interstate player pool sharing for 888/WSOP. Since Nevada strictly prohibits the usage of HUDs and other states have no policy in this regard, 888 deemed it unfair to allow them in one state and not the other. Therefore, to level the playing field, WSOP NJ and 888 Poker NJ prohibit all HUDs.
Snap Poker (Zoom-like format) is not supported.
With their new client, hand histories are no longer automatically downloaded and they have to be requested via Customer Service. Reviewing hands in SharkScope Desktop and in the replayer are still possible.
