BodogPoker believe that players using the information are taking advantage of the casual poker players which often results in players not returning to the site.

Another big change which will affect their traffic, will be when Bodog Poker block USA Players at the end of the year when Bodog renew their gaming license they will no longer accept US players to play poker online at BodogPoker.

So next year we can expect to see Bodog Poker operating as a non USA Poker site with no option to use a poker hud or any software or website which used to mine data. I’m sure the poker community will have mixed feelings when the update comes into effect, some may argue that poker tools do not disadvantage other players, while casual players might feel safer playing online knowing that the sharks aren’t analyzing their playing style or gaining important information on them.
