Although the site is part of the Microgaming Network, it doesn’t appear that the other rooms in the network, such as 32RedPoker, Unibet, and Purple Lounge, have picked up on the change.
If they're only hiding the player names on Ladbrokes, doesn't this mean people could 1-table and then spectate on another skin to find out who is seated where? Then open up a second table, repeat etc.

Scrap that. People would obv play on the non-anonymized skin. Assuming these games are accessible from all skins.

Pokerstars I believe is the best. Ladbrokes is probably like any other site that got no clue at all about cheating or bots.

Tables are not filling anyway.
P.S. I'm no shill but Laddbrokes are a big enough bookies that I feel comfortable playing there. No way they would want to damage their name. Probably better known here to the general public than Pokerstars or ftp, even those that know sweet FA bout poker know who Laddies are.
Know I'm setting myself up for some grief here

if they consider shipping the hands history, on demand, with the players names unveiled after a delay of let say few hours to 1 day i think they may gain some trust in this tables

"What may be one of the positive aspects of playing the Anonymous Tables is that players can try some new moves without a record of their past activities. Opponents normally would track such play at the tables, but, because there is no tag associated with any player, it serves as a “smokescreen” and opens up the potential for some creative play."

OK splain this to me. How can you be creative if you don't know who you are playing against?

I always thought Ladbrokes had a great reputation and are as trustworthy as they come in the online poker world no?

QFT although many cheaters are identified by players and these tables will definitely make it difficult for players to spot cheating.

Well all players in the UK can do is vouch for a company and Ladbrokes are 100% legit.

Sports betting is significantly bigger business to them than poker, so I work on the basis they wouldn't want to damage their name because some poker scandal.
Only selected tables are annon. They are not filling so can't see it catching on. Fwiw I'm avoiding them for all the reasons above plus the fish stumbling over from the sports betting side love to see their oh so funny tag when they play.
Can understand non UK resi's being sceptical but suits me, keeps the games soft!
