Bodog CEO 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."

Zimba analysis:
In the current economic climate and competitive online poker landscape, smaller poker sites are looking to differentiate and enhance the player experience. It makes sense that a site like Bodog would de-prioritize the needs of their more serious and professional players for the majority of their casual players in an effort the shift the balance of information for all.
