Cryptologic Inks Deal with New Online Poker Room

Cryptologic Inc, software provider for such online poker rooms as SunPoker.com and InterPoker.com, has signed a three year contract with new UK-based online poker room, DTDPoker.com. The site is up and running today.

It will be the largest poker club in the UK, with 50 tables, a bar, a restaurant, a VIP suite, Wi-Fi internet access, and ample parking. The club will hold a UK casino gaming license, but will strictly dedicated to poker.

DTDPoker.com has several unique features and promotions for its players right out of the gate:

• Automatic rakeback for everybody, based on MPP’s earned.
• Players earn DTD Points for their online play, redeemable only at the live poker club.
• DTD Tour, which awards players European Poker Tour entries in place of rakeback.
• DTD Trader, which allows dedicated players to have DTDPoker.com provide their entire bankroll.

For those who live near the live club, employment opportunities are also available on the club’s website.

Cryptologic’s stock price is up slightly on the news.
