MPN will allow regular screen name changes soon

Poker network MPN has a band-aid solution to prevent sharks from exploiting weaker players.

Starting on Sept. 22, all players will be allowed to change their screen name on all MPN skins, Pokerfuse reported. Once the new feature is implemented, players can immediately modify their screen names, and again after they have played 1,000 real money hands or once every 30 days.

Why the change? Alex Scott, MPN’s head of poker, said they “want to stop parasitic players from ruthlessly pursuing weaker players.”

“We also want regs to play each other once in a while, and we don’t want players to create a new account with a new poker room just because their alias is unlucky,” Scott explained, according to the report.
