Small euro sites that don't allow HUDs are fishy and reg-devoid mainly because they're fishy euro sites. when you compare even ultimate bet (which isn't a euro site and does allow for a hud) to PS, the fish:reg ratio is still RIDICULOUS. the fact that it's a euro site makes it even fish-laden and reg-devoid. and the fact that it doesn't allow for HUD again makes regs even that much less likely to play there which brings the ratio up even more. so the reason that the site is so fishy is mainly because there are less regs, not because fish don't wanna play at a site that allows hud (to prove this, next time you're playing at your euro site, ask everyone at the table HUDs, and they'll all be like "wtf are you talking? wtf is a hud?")

FTP and PS would never disallow HUD use because they make their money from 4-20 tabling regs. if they stopped allowing HUDs it would not bring many fish to the game and a lot of regs would quit and pretty much all the regs would reduce the amount of tables they're playing. even if the ONLY consequence were to make 20-tabling bots play only 10 tables at a time, it would take A LOT of fish being added to the player pool to make up for that drop in rake (in other words, halving the rake you receive from a 20-tabling 200nl FR reg, would require 10 single-tabling fish who are willing to put $200 down on the table in order to make up for the revenue lost).
