Bad news for the bumhunters on iPoker: network launches anonymous tables on its .com!
This policy is to aim announced to protect recreational players of regular sharks! After Ladbrokes, Bodog and Partygaming, it is the turn of iPoker to launch these tables.
On one side, there is Bodog in 2011, making all of its anonymous tables. On the other, there are Ladbrokes in 2010 launching some anonymous specific tables. iPoker has chosen to follow the model of Ladbrokes.
This new policy is according to their words, the advantage of protecting the ecosystem of the poker. On the anonymous tables, there is no way to identify his opponents and it will be impossible to compile statistics on his opponents with his tracker.
This new policy came just a few months later that PartyGaming has announced the separation between its regular and recreational players for the same reasons.
The statement said at the time: "we constantly seek ways to balance the ecosystem of our room. As we have already said, we are testing different features such as to make poker more fun and entertaining, as well for the new players than for the more experienced. "Our research helped demonstrate that inexperienced players played more and longer if they started against players of the same level."
Obviously, this new policy will not prevent good winning players earn and bad losers players lose, but it will be probably less quickly.
And recall in conclusion that these tables will not replace the standard tables on iPoker, but that they will be present in parallel only.
