Update: David from Hand HQ has confirmed (17th June) that they can still datamine Ongame.
Buy fresh Ongame hand histories
Ongame recently updated their poker software. Unfortunately this has caused Ongame Hand Grabber to stop working, and we will have to wait for Idleminer to create an update before we can datamine again.
I’m confident that Idleminer will make Ongame Hand Grabber work with the new software, unfortunately, it may take a while. When a pokerroom makes a major update Idleminer has to reverse engineer the software to figure out exactly what was changed, and possibly create a new handgrabber from scratch.
A Temporary Solution
If you are used to datamining, and want to lessen the impact of suddenly not being able to do so, you can buy cheap Ongame hand histories from Hand HQ.
Buying hand histories won’t give you the day-to-day updates on your opponents development that you get when you datamine yourself, however, it is the best substitute there is at the moment.

Note: I don’t play at Ongame at the moment, so I don’t their stance on using purchased hand histories.
