After clicking on the cashier button I have to close/minimize two deposit windows in order to see my account balance. Anyone else facing this issue?

I have no problems with it, but I see my account balance always without looking in my Cashier at the top right of the screen.

Cheers,

Thank you for your answer, SDK1987. Yes, I got the balance on top of the main lobby screen as well but if you want to have more detailed information like the amount of tournament dollars and different currencies one has to open the cashier window. On top of this window there are two more windows concerning deposit information that the previous deposit method wouldn't be available anymore and you may contact a person that would assist you in depositing etc. In order to see the balance data one has to close these windows every time.

The two deposit windows suddenly appeared maybe two or three weeks ago; they won't go away and they are as useless as tits on a bull.

Only stuff what could be nasty is the chat screen in the cashier. If you click on the blue - it will be smaller.

@Encolpius Maybe try to uninstall , re-install your poker client if the ads are unusual. Also you could write to the support of your poker room they might be able to help you better. I don't think it's your case but you can also make a scan of your machine seeking for virus , malwares , ads , etc... just in case it's not related to the poker client itself ...

These popups have been completely usual at Stars since 2 weeks ago and are actually an improvement that makes depositing easier for first-time players, who're exactly those whom we need :f_thumbsup:

Other online gambling venues have had such popups for long, and Stars has correctly taken a page out of their playbook :f_thumbsup:

So I don't get annoyed by the deposit assistance chat popping up because I know that, even though it's unnecessary for me personally, it will make the lives easier for my potential 'customers' and thus make me money in the long run.

I couldn't care less about removing the popup because I visit the cashier seldom and won't die if I click on a couple of crosses, but if you have free time that you can't use with greater effect, you may try to write an Autoit / AHK script that suppresses the popup :f_rolleyes:

Didn't log much on Pstars lately except to play The Deal after X-Mas but i just checked now and i don't get any popup window ...
Design Changed but saw it before else no ads or popup ...
But yeah it can be easily done with Autoit or any other scripting language.
With Autoit should be something like that : (Not taking more than 6 lines)

Spoiler

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -2)

While 1

If WinExists("Name of your popup window here") Then
WinClose("Name of your popup Window")
EndIf

Wend

But well if it's just for one click it's not interesting to use imo.

It's not a separate window; rather, it's a Chromium (?) widget like built-in customer support chats at many sales sites. Anyway, as SDK1987 said, clicking on the blue hyphen at its top right corner minimises the chat widget, so there's indeed no problem. To click that automatically, something like the AHK function ControlClick can be used (I don't know how it's called in AutoIt) because the relative coordinates of that blue hyphen are fixed.

@tonypmm AHK and Autoit are almost the same when it comes to functions, with AutoIT it's :

ControlClick ( "title", "text", controlID [, button = "left" [, clicks = 1 [, x [, y]]]] )
Parameters :
title: The title/hWnd/class of the window to access. See Title special definition.
text: The text of the window to access. See Text special definition.
controlID: The control to interact with. See Controls.
button: [optional] The button to click, "left", "right", "middle", "main", "menu", "primary", "secondary". Default is the left button.
clicks: [optional] The number of times to click the mouse. Default is 1.
x: [optional] The x position to click within the control. Default is center.
y:[optional] The y position to click within the control. Default is center.

Else depending on controls you can use ControlCommand :
ControlCommand ( "title", "text", controlID, "command" [, "option"] )
Parameters:
title: The title/hWnd/class of the window to access. See Title special definition.
text: The text of the window to access. See Text special definition.
controlID: The control to interact with. See Controls.
command: The command to send to the control.
option: [optional] Additional parameter required by some commands.

yeah forgot also ControlHide
ControlHide ( "title", "text", controlID )
Parameters:
title: The title/hWnd/class of the window to access. See Title special definition.
text: The text of the window to access. See Text special definition.
controlID: The control to interact with. See Controls.

But since i don't have prob with the cashier can't try or check the control name or ID.
In Autoit main folder there's a helpfile with index and search by keywords.
Using the helpfile can show some exemples of use if someone really needs it even if i think for one popup embeded or not it's useless.

Thanks a lot for your help, guys.

@SDK1987
Sure, the windows can be closed. Still it should be unnecessary.

@tonypmm "...it will make the lives easier for my potential 'customers' and thus make me money in the long run."
You've got a point there.

@OldSchoolPapa
Thank you very much for your help. Gonna check this out though using an automation script on a window created by pokerstars.exe might be interpreted as intervening the integrity of the program.

@Encolpius As long you don't use a script automation in order to take decisions for you or to make calculations it's fine , also it won't modify in any way the client software so it doesn't break any T&Cs. For more security you can even ask Pokerstars support and send them a copy of your script so they can confirm it to you as well.
