Update: Bodog Recreational Poker Model Security Measures Justified

Bodog chief issues an announcement In relation to the additional security measures applied to its Recreational Poker Model, online gambling company Bodog has issued a statement, justifying the introduction of anonymous tables, a reported decline in its stats and issues of poor security, collusion and cash-out delays. Namely, according to Bodog chief Patrik Selin, the model is to be implemented, despite the negative issues, as it is considered to work in the best interest of: casual players; minimising "sharp players"; the revival of the declining online poker sector; and improving operator's fiscal returns. As for the question of a lack of username that apparently creates or increases the opportunity for collusion, Bodog announced that it is to introduce a protection measure in the first quarter of next year ahead of its planned release. It has been specified that the update will allow players "to request their hand history for any game they feel was 'wrong' with the added bonus of having all cards from the hand 'open'. It will be possible for all players to view all the cards rather than just their own." In the company's opinion, this will reinstate higher security in its system than in that of poker rooms with usernames. In addition, the company announced more updates, such as the ability to show just one card when the player mucks, the reintroduction of players being able to see their folded cards as the hand plays out and additional graphics on cards at certain times during a game, which will add to the entertainment factor for casual players.
