Bodog to Phase Out Poker Info Scraping Sites
LONDON, February 8, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
- ...New User-Friendly Lobby Also Now Live...
As part of the ongoing process to bring the fun back into
playing poker and being more attractive to the leisure player, Bodog's poker
product is implementing a series of blocking systems to stop the likes of
Poker Site Scout, PokerDB and Shark Scope from garnering information that
(once again) mainly serve professional players.
Patrik Selin explains: "These poker operator information
portals are another example of how online poker is assisting in its own
demise. I have commented previously on how the operators are doing this to
themselves with hand histories, HUDs and rake back, all of which we will be
cutting out. The next tier in the process is the operator information sites.
Nobody who is playing poker for fun visits these sites, or, probably even
knows they exist. They primarily exist to serve the needs of the professional
players and therefore we will be implementing online protection against these
sites to further aid the crucial leisure poker player."
Bodog have also recently released a new lobby with a much more
user-friendly interface making navigation easier, again keeping the player
new to the game or playing for fun, firmly at the forefront of everything
they do.
