First, let me say that I am as frustrated as you are that providing a HUD on CoinPoker currently requires a $49/month converter subscription. This is NOT a satisfactory long-term solution, and it will NOT be the long-term solution.
Let me provide some background to explain what is happening.
1. There are many smaller poker sites in the market that do not write hand histories and therefore require a converter. Writing and maintaining these converters is tedious and time-consuming, as they require continual updates. Instead of building and maintaining converters for each site ourselves, we decided it was best to partner with an established team specializing in hand history converters.
2. When CoinPoker began gaining traction they did not write any hand histories. Our partnering company created a CoinPoker converter (as they do for many smaller sites). This converter is included with our Asian Hand Converter product.
3. During the Fall of 2025, as CoinPoker continued to grow, we began working with them to implement native hand histories. Based on those discussions, I was under the impression that hand histories would eventually be written in real time, in which case a converter would no longer be needed.
4. Around November or December 2025, CoinPoker released hand histories — but only for download post-game. When this happened:
(a) I was surprised, but still expected that real-time hand histories would follow.
(b) I realized that our temporary solution of requiring the Asian Hand Converter subscription was not sustainable. We attempted to negotiate with our converter partner to reduce the price. We were even willing to offer the converter at no profit to our company. Unfortunately, we have not made progress in reducing the current pricing, which leaves us where we are today.
I remain hopeful that CoinPoker will add real-time hand history support to their client soon, and I continue to have ongoing discussions with them. If that happens, no converter would be required and PokerTracker would support CoinPoker out of the box.
If that does not happen — or if it will take many more months — then we will either need to create our own converter or reach a more reasonable agreement with our partner.
The bottom line is that the current status quo is not acceptable, and we are actively working toward a better and more cost-effective solution. I will continue to keep you updated as we make progress and decisions are finalized.
Best regards,
Derek

Are there any plans to update PT for the new CoinPoker template?
