DoylesRoom Responsible for 138% Growth of Yatahay Network

According to the February 21st Pokerscout traffic update, DoylesRoom.com has increased the traffic of the Yatahay Network by 138% year-over-year. Since its departure from Cake's Network on January 28th Cake has seen a 24% drop in traffic. Yatahay, though, still retains its position as the 32nd largest network according to PokerScout. There is also a noticeable boost in traffic during European peak times.

The Yatahay Network began as TruePoker in March 2001. The network shares players with A+ rated sportsbooks Bookmaker.com, BetCRIS.com, and 5Dimes.com, which contributes to better security for player funds. Due to these sportsbooks, Yatahay offers some of the softest and most profitable games running online.

At the beginning of the year there was a large software upgrade that redesigned the lobby. While this was a welcome change, the rest of Yatahay's software, particularly the tables, remained outdated and substandard. This network went from having zero tracker support or hand history converters to having full PokerTracker3 support (including a working HUD), only two weeks after DoylesRoom came on board. Currently HEM has no immediate plans to implement support, but they are requesting hand histories.

TruePoker, the flagship site on this network, offers 27% dealt rakeback plus a 100% Deposit Bonus up to $200

Bodog to Phase Out Poker Info Scraping Sites, Continuing War Against Sharks

· Bodog Europe CEO Patrik Selin said they are against hand histories, HUDs, rakeback, and "Nobody who is playing poker for fun visits these sites, or, probably even knows they exist. They primarily exist to serve the needs of the professional players."

· The Bodog in-game hand histories stopped listing opponent names a couple months ago.

· Idleminer Hand Grabber still works, as does PT3. However if Bodog were to actually ban any of these in their T&C, it is likely PT3 and HEM would disable the import feature.

· HEM ceased development of their integrated Bodog hand grabber in mid-January at Bodog’s request.

· Bodog took their first steps in June 2010 when they banned rakeback for new player accounts.

BODOG IMPENDING CHANGES (with current statuses):

· Blocking of Poker information sites

· PokerScout traffic monitoring permanently disabled January 20th 2011. Update: PokerScout's Bodog tracking was restored in late March 2011.

· ThePokerDB still working

· SharkScope still tracking SNGs

· PokerTableRatings player stats are still there, their WebHUD works, and they're still selling hand histories

The advantage to this being that Bodog games are some of the softest and most profitable games available to US players. Bodog is currently offering a signup bonus of 110% deposit match, up to $1100.
