We’ve added MoneyBookers as a new payment option for Purchasing credits on SharkScopers. Moneybookers is a similar payment processor to PayPal, but they’re available in a lot of places where PayPal isnt.
If you already use PayPal and are happy with the service, then stick with PayPal. If PayPal isn’t available to you or if you’re looking for a different option, MoneyBookers is probably the best choice.
In response to user requests Sharkscope has now added a number of new leaderboards.
The new leaderboards are:
So now Super Turbo tournaments no longer count towards the old Turbo leaderboards.
SharkScope today announces improvements to its coverage of the Merge network.
Tracking now includes Registering and Running games, which are searchable by Tournament Id, enabling the use of the “Tournament Selector” for the first time helping players find the easiest tournaments to join.
Game collection has been optimized, reducing the average from 1 hour to 2 minutes for a game to appear in the SharkScope database.
Overall coverage is also now estimated to be 95% across all game types.
SharkScope today announces improvements to its coverage of the Cereus network.
Tracking levels have been increased from the old 60% to around 95% of all completed games, along with coverage and speed improvements of registering and running games.
We are pleased to announce the addition of our new Global Alias functionality. This option, which is available on the Search Database page in the first drop down menu, allows you to combine multiple usernames from multiple networks into a single alias that shows your overall statistics.
Once created this alias can be searched by all other users.
SharkScope today announces improvements to its coverage of the IPN.
Tracking now includes Registering and Running games, which are searchable by Tournament Id, enabling the use of the “Tournament Selector” for the first time helping players find the easiest tournaments to join.
Game collection has been optimized, reducing the average from 10 minutes to 2 minutes for a game to appear in the SharkScope database.
Overall coverage is also now estimated to be 99% across all game types.
SharkScope today announces improvements to its coverage of the Swedish Poker network Svenska Spel.
Tracking now includes Registering and Running games, which are searchable by Tournament Id, enabling the use of the “Tournament Selector” for the first time helping players find the easiest tournaments to join.
Game collection has been optimized reducing the average from 10 minutes to 2 minutes for a game to appear in the SharkScope database.
Overall coverage is also now estimated to be 99% across all game types.
In the past, the use of SharkScope whilst playing has been prohibited by PokerStars. In an attempt to resolve this issue and get SharkScope back on the allowed list at PokerStars we are trialing a new opt in system.
We believe that its to the benefit of all our users if we can find a way for our service to adhere to PokerStars 3rd party software rules and yet still provide the ability to rate all players by default.
The new system is as follows:
By default all ROI and Profit data is hidden. To opt-in and show this data the user must send $0.03 to the user SharkScope on PokerStars.
To block your data from all users including yourself, users need to send $0.01 to the user SharkScope on PokerStars.
Transferred money will be returned within 5 days.
Players who have not opted in can still be rated using the “Ability /100” rating, which was designed to accurately assess a player poker ability without making it possible to reverse engineer that player’s ROI or Profit figures.
Note:
At this point neither ourselves or PokerStars have committed to this using this system after the trial period is over and we welcome comments to be posted here either positive or negative to help us decide whether to implement this system fully.
Edit:
In answer to some common questions that have arisen:
We’ve introduced a forum style activity feed for our videos and blogs categories as a clear and simple way of viewing the newest posts and comments in these categories. They’re located underneath their menu items in the drop-down list.
This should keep discussions relevant longer and show which topics are generating the most interest.
If you haven’t already, critique a video you’ve unlocked, join in on a discussion, or start your own. SharkScopers is an extremely community oriented site. We’ve seen much higher interest in the videos that have multiple positive comments vs. the ones with negative or no comments, and authors love to see a reply on their posts.
We are pleased to announce that our coverage of FullTilt results has now resumed after the recent FullTilt update to a new cross platform client.
We are now tracking the vast majority of tournament results again (with the current exception of Matrix tournaments which we hope to add tomorrow and scheduled tournaments which will follow shortly after).
We are still working on the Tournament Selector so it will be a little while before this is up and running. However the searching of registering and running games by Tournament ID is available again.
The SharkScope HUD has been tested to work with the latest FullTilt update, but if you are still experiencing any problems please contact support@sharkscope.com with the details.
FullTilt updated their software on the 8th of July and tracking resumed on around the 12th of July. Unfortunately all tournaments played between those dates have been missed and cannot be retrieved.
We cannot insert missed results based on user reports because we require independent verification of all results to protect the integrity of our database.
Thanks for bearing with us…..
