Bodog moves to address collusion concerns

Bodog has taken steps to address concerns about the increased possibility of collusion at its anonymous poker tables by offering to provide the hand histories of all players at a table.

The company said it was introducing the feature in response to player feedback.

“Once all the noise of whining poker ‘pros’ who could no longer use software allowing access to data on how you play your game against Bodog players died down, the only credible complaint was the threat of collusion,” Bodog said in a statement Thursday.

As a result, the Bodog Poker Network now allows players to request their own hand histories, after a period of 24 hours, as well as the hole card information for all players in the same hand.

“The fact that we can now offer players this information is another advantage of our anonymous tables and something nobody else can offer,” said Jonas Odman, VP of the Bodog Poker Network. “Collusion is a natural concern for any poker room but this new additional feature puts the player in full control.”
