Full Tilt Poker Blocking Database Sites
Full Tilt poker has intensified the fight against data tracking sites by blocking sit’n’go database Sharkscope.com. The block is a major blow to Sharkscope after several years as industry leaders.
Full Tilt poker has intensified the fight against the so-called data mining sites that track and publish individual online poker players’ result and statistical information. Full Tilt has already upped its resistance against PokerTableRatings.com by blocking the site’s access to the Full Tilt tables, and now the turn has come to another industry giant, sit’n’go specialists Sharkscope.com.
Sharkscope has long been at the forefront of the tracking industry, providing detailed information on players’ buy-in rate, numbers of games played, ROI and overall results.
According to the Sharkscope Blog, however, this service will no longer include information from games played at Full Tilt poker after the site imposed a block earlier this week.
“It is with great disappointment that we here at Sharkscope must report that our coverage of FullTilt is currently compromised due to an apparent change in FullTilt’s policy regarding data retrieval from their site,” a statement on the blog reads today.
“We are continuing to work on the problem and are still optimistic about restoring full coverage; but this may take some time,” Sharkscope informed, hinting that the site may intent to collect the data without the blessing of Full Tilt poker.
