The Bodog Poker Network is marking the creation of its first Asian network with the launch of the year-long Anonymous Poker Series in 2013.

Bodog's Anonymous Poker Series

The series will comprise both live and online event and will culminate in a $100,000 grand final in Manila, Philippines, in January 2014.

Jonas Odman, managing director of BPN, said: “This series will help highlight exactly how and why we feel our network is the best and safest place for both recreational poker players and operators alike.

"Operators who service sports bettors and casino players do not want their customers leaking money to non-depositing poker pros who are using sophisticated software in order to win. Our anonymous tables take this unfairness out of the equation, creating a much better experience for the leisure player.”
