GGPoker claims that the decision to block SharkScope was made to protect "weaker players" from ♣ being targeted by more experienced opponents. By preventing players from accessing others' tournament records, GGPoker said it is aiming to ♣ create a more level playing field and improve the overall poker ecosystem.

The company maintains that the timing of this decision ♣ is unrelated to the launch of its new Tournament Honours feature, which provides players with a summary of their tournament ♣ achievements.

Despite GGPoker's rationale, many players have criticised the decision to block SharkScope, arguing that the move limits transparency and makes ♣ it more difficult for players to detect when something is amiss with a particular group of players.

Sharkscope posted the news ♣ on its social media channels.
