Anonymous Poker Tables Launched at Ladbrokes Poker
This was published 27-10-2010Ladbrokes Poker, the popular online poker site, is one of the first sites to launch “Anonymous Tables”. Ladbrokes is one of the largest retail bookmakers in the world and the biggest betting company in the United Kingdom and its new innovation will run alongside the standard cash tables accessible from the main lobby, thus giving customers the choice of playing on the regular tables or trying out something different.
This unique offering gives players an opportunity to hide their avatars and aliases from other players on their table and to have the chance to try out some ruthless moves without their identity being revealed.
The Anonymous Tables is patent pending and will not change from the way that Texas Hold’em is played. The only difference is that players at these unique tables will not be able to identify names or avatars associated with their opponents any longer.
Players are able to participate in complete anonymity by playing on the Anonymous Tables as all notes that an opponent may have will not show up. Players will only see his own name and avatar while opponents will see a randomly generated tag which identifies him and vice versa.
Ladbrokes has revealed that poker tracking software will not be effective on the new tables and will not associate a player’s play on the Anonymous Tables with their real alias. Players are now able to try some new moves without any record of their past activities.
Kate McLennan, head of poker operations at Ladbrokes Poker said that they are thrilled with the launch as poker players have never been able to play without other players knowing who they are. She added that Anonymous Tables not only brings an added element to the game for people whose playing style may be recognizable but will also give new players to the game a chance to try some different moves without getting a reputation as players will never know who they are playing against.
