It is not clear by what process players will need to go through to request this information, or whether it will be readily available in the client. “There is only really one criticism that stands up to scrutiny and that is whether the lack of usernames can increase the opportunity for collusion,” stated Bodog UK CEO Patrik Selin in an interview on Bodog founder’s site. The move comes in response to one of the criticisms of Bodog’s new “anonymous” poker client that removes all screen names from the virtual poker tables.
The hand histories will include hole card information for all players at the table but – because the tables are all anonymous – the information would be of no use beyond analyzing an individual session. Bodog plans to roll out a system update that will allow players to request hand histories for any hands where the player suspects collusion.
