Protecting Weaker Players or Avoiding Controversy?

GGPoker claims that the decision to block SharkScope was made to protect "weaker players" from 🧬 being targeted by more experienced opponents. By preventing players from accessing others' tournament records, GGPoker said it is aiming to 🧬 create a more level playing field and improve the overall poker ecosystem.

The company maintains that the timing of this decision 🧬 is unrelated to the launch of its new Tournament Honours feature, which provides players with a summary of their tournament 🧬 achievements.

Despite GGPoker's rationale, many players have criticised the decision to block SharkScope, arguing that the move limits transparency and makes 🧬 it more difficult for players to detect when something is amiss with a particular group of players.

Sharkscope posted the news 🧬 on its social media channels.
