Since the lastest lobby update, participants of a tournament are no longer visible.
As a result, Sharkscope cannot track any results.

What is GG even trying to achieve with this change?
Why are they opting to reduce transparency?

Partypoker has tried this approach in the past and quickly realized its drawbacks.
Hard to believe this is not a net negative to all involved.

Hi,

Unfortunately, without prior notice, GG Poker decided to prevent us from tracking tournament results for reasons of "optimizing the player experience and increasing security". This has disabled features cherished by tens of thousands of GG players every month and significantly worsened player safety. Throughout our 20-year history, SharkScope has been used countless times to detect fraudulent and dishonest behavior across various networks and serves as a significant deterrent against unfair practices. Every other one of the over 80 poker sites we monitor has determined in detail that our services are significantly positive for the poker ecosystem, improving player experience and allowing players to make more informed decisions through transparent assessment of their results.

We believe there might still be a chance they will change their mind, so if you value our service on GG, we strongly suggest you contact their support to explain how valuable you consider our services and how important they are to you when choosing which poker site to play on.

Best wishes,

Lori
SharkScope Support

#freeSharkScope

free my homie sharkscope

partypoker did this to cash games, and now you see whales with 800bb stacks daily on their tables

Did anyone ever use Sharkscope for anything but looking up an opponent and pointing out to the fish exactly how badly they are losing?

Looks like you're projecting

Fish can always opt out of Sharkscope if they don't want their results to be public.

GG didn't just "block Sharkscope"; they also removed all information from the lobby, which makes the games far less transparent.

Maybe they don't want us to see all these new Chinese bots colluding with late reg stalling.

Yeah I did, track my results see how I play on different limits and formats. Used it to import payout structure to HRC with HRC Ninja. And yes biggest part to classify unknown villains, most for FT3.
Also with sharkscope you can track perfect your result over multiple sites and merge them into an alias. If all sides would provide good HHs like stars yes we just could use a tracker for this but they don`t.

I bet GG will remove also some stuff from there inbuild HUD very soon.
So maybe there will be a new black market for some kind of other database infos.
Backers could use a database with all notes from there horses and everyone in that group could use a search engine to find and transfer and add new infos about a villain.

Maybe GG Poker soon hides the action for players not vpip so the fish doesn't have to fell that bad to look like an idiot.
