Winamax, the high – profile French online poker platform that is gaining more and more popularity worldwide, is the next company to present anonymous tables on the website with the aim of helping its players improve their performance and continue taking part in poker games for the years to come.
Although the company is not the first one to introduce the anonymous poker tables to the audience, its venture is regarded as exciting and able to represent the features the company is famous for.
The authorities did their best to provide the public with a new, exciting and top quality product that ensures lots of fun to the players. Their campaign, aimed at popularizing the incognito tables, is believed to be eye-catching. The slogan of the campaign is “Where nobody knows who you are”. In general, at the incognito poker tables the names of the players are not displayed apart from your own. As far as the chat is concerned, it is also designed to keep the identity of the players secret. Although everyone, willing to take part in cash games, is enabled to use the anonymous tables, they are available neither for tournaments nor for Sit & Go.
The anonymous tables strategy was introduced three years ago and since then the developers have been trying their best to make it famous and widespread.
Actually, the founder of the so called Recreational Poker Model is Jonas Odman. He was the first to realize the importance of prolonging the careers of the recreational players and the great impact this may have on the future of the online poker sector.
Bodog was the innovator that implemented the anonymous tables to their site and as soon as they saw the positive outcome, some other platforms hurried up to take advantage of the unusual and yet effective solution. PartyPoker, iPoker, Microgaming were among the companies that followed the Bodog steps. However, some other reputable online poker platforms such as PokerStars and 888Poker were not particularly keen on introducing the incognito tables on their sites.
Nevertheless, time will tell how long these platforms will succeed in holding their ground given the fact that Daniel Negreanu is totally against Spin & Go – a format that is believed to be gripping to the players and really profitable to the authorities.
Nobody disapproves of the statement that Bodog was the first platform to make the anonymous tables available to the players but when it comes to the lottery games creation, Winamax is the indisputable leader. The company is famous for creating the game, known as “Expresso” so when their leadership is questioned, the authorities have no hesitations to support their standpoint by all means. They went too far by taking the matters into court but the French Court disapproved of their claims and said that although the products of both companies resemble each other, the players can recognize and differentiate them.
