There is no 'personally identifiable information' in Poker Alias data so I'd be surprised if this was the end of all fracked info. I would expect it to have an impact on Hendon Mob where real names are used.
Surely that applies identically to Sharkscope, though?
At present, THM appears to be unchanged.
This is true, though Sharky did have real name data too. A lot of the time these regulation changes can be 'interpreted' differently and I suspect with the size of the fines they've talked about with the launch of GDPR then anyone who's not had the time to consider it fully could take the more cautious line. It could also be a coincidence that they've changed their opt in rules.
I would expect anonymised or pseudonymised data using aliases to be fine. There's also an argument to be had whether lobby info is in the public domain.
Agreed, though we don't (yet) know for sure it is GDPR related, though the likelihood is that it is.
Odd that THM remains "as was", though worth noting that the implementation date is still a week away (May 25th) so it may yet change.
I notice that number of games, average stake and "ability" is still displayed though and it's quite easy to get a good idea of a players likely profits/ROI from this correlation...
So for a quick check to see if someone is any good it's still going to be (almost) fit for purpose.
