Duplicate Poker Review + Bonus
Duplicate Poker Review Duplicate Poker Review
Duplicate Poker closed yesterday. Unfortunately, the one online poker outlet that was excluded from the UIGEA because it was classified as a game of skill rather than one of luck, will no longer be available for play. But US players can play freely at any of the other poker rooms listed on our site. Please try one of the other poker bonuses, as Duplicate Poker and Duplicate Poker Bonuses are no more.
The DuplicatePoker.com homepage states, “Duplicate Poker is legally certified as a ‘Game of Skill,’ rather than gambling.” Duplicate Poker was started by championship bridge player, Pinhas Romik. After the success of Duplicate Bridge, Duplicate Poker became popular. The site hopes to establish Duplicate Poker as a Recognized Sport Organization, like Duplicate Bridge achieved in 1995. See our explanation of the game of Duplicate Poker for more information on how the game is played-it’s not your usual Texas Hold ‘em; in fact, it’s completely different.
