Duplicate Poker Closed

Duplicate Poker has suddenly shuttered their operations, blaming the *global financial situation* for their demise. If you visit their web site, you will be greeted with a short two paragraph note from the company.

Dear players,

Duplicate is sadly bidding farewell to its players. Caught in the middle of the global financial situation the company is not able to continue to provide service. We are a small victim of the global financial crisis.

Regretfully as of the today, October 5th, 2008 we are closing our service. We thank our players for being with us. Hopefully at later time and in a better economic climate Duplicate Poker will re-appear.

Sincerely,
The Duplicate Poker Team

Below the message from the company is a small form that current customers can use to withdraw their bankrolls.

Duplicate Poker marketed itself as a skill-based poker game - however the site was never really able to catch on with users. For those who were used to playing regular Hold’em and No Limit Hold’em, the concept behind Duplicate Poker was very confusing.

Duplicate Poker was a clever concept, however they were just never able to gain traction in the hyper-competitive online poker industry.
