The Bodog Poker brand has always been built around attracting casual players to their site, and the site is hoping that their latest decision to make all of their tables completely “Anonymous” will do just that, as well as having the potential to be a game-changer in the online poker industry. The Anonymous tables were added as part of a sweeping overhaul to the Bodog software that saw other new features like a “Rabbit-Cam”, new tournament formats, and an increase in multi-table capabilities.

Players sitting down at a Bodog Poker cash-game tables will now be identified by the seat they are sitting in (such as “Seat 1” or “Seat 3”)while tournament players will be given a randomly generated ID number. In doing so Bodog has eliminated the use of personal data-mining software like PokerTracker, as well as thwarted the attempts of subscription and pay sites that compile data and then sell it to players.

Bodog has long championed the eradication of data-mining in order to create a fair model for all players, and as Vice President of the Bodog Poker Network, Jonas Odman, stated in a press release:

 “We believe that introducing these features makes the Bodog Recreational Poker Model a pioneer in the online poker world and offers all players of all abilities the fairest place to play. We have shown before that we are not afraid of controversy by changing the way rakeback was viewed and starting to block data mining sites earlier this year and these new features now give players a less biased ‘pure poker’ experience. To my mind the software and Bodog’s Recreational Poker Model is a genuine game changer.”
