An on-line poker room, which just a half month ago maintained that it’s business went well, has closed its doors lately.

Duplicate Poker has been closed on Sunday, because of disturbing world economy, as they explain.

The customers have found such valedictory on the site, that clears their decision to close:

Duplicate is sadly ordering parting to its players. Our company doesn’t manage to continue poker service in the situation of the global financial crisis. We are an innocent victim of the troubled financial situation that is observed today in the world.

We regret but we have no choice but to close our service today, on the 5th of October. We are very glad that our players were with us and thanks them for it. We expect that a bit later when economic climate get right Duplicate Poker will resume it’s activity.

Sincerely,

The Duplicate Poker Team

It was just a half month ago that DuplicatePoker.com excitingly announced that their online poker room operated from - of all places - New York City. In fact, they declared their milestone 250,000th player.

Pinhas Romik, founder and CEO of Duplicate Poker said that DuplicatePoker.com had rapidly earned global attraction and poker players at all levels were playing this interesting game and developing new strategies for winning. He added that their revenues had increased six times since the public launch and they hoped the game's popularity rating would continue its upward trajectory.
