Bodog.com put limits on Poker Datamining Sites and Tools

Bodog Poker is attempting to bring the fun back into playing poker and make the game even more attractive to the recreational and occasional online poker players. Having that priority, Bodog has implemented a series of blocking systems to stop poker aid programs and tools such as Poker Site Scout, PokerDB and Shark Scope from garnering information that mainly serve professional players.

Bodog.com has 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.

"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." explains Bodog spokesman Patrik Selin.
