CryptoLogic signs 3-year contract with new UK poker club

 

E-gaming software developer wins exclusive contract with DTDPoker.com,

the online home of DUSKTILLDAWN - soon to be the largest live poker venue in Europe

 

December 13, 2006 (Toronto, ON) — CryptoLogic Inc., a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming industry, has announced an exclusive 3-year contract to be the software provider for www.DTDPoker.com, the online home of the new UK-based poker club, DUSKTILLDAWN. CryptoLogic’s proven poker software launched the new site today.

 

DUSKTILLDAWN has generated considerable buzz and once its doors open in Nottingham in April 2007, it will be the largest live poker venue in Europe. The company has also applied to be the first fully-licensed dedicated poker facility in the UK.

 

“With DUSKTILLDAWN, CryptoLogic adds a dynamic brand to its growing list of poker customers,” said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic’s President and CEO. “This agreement reinforces CryptoLogic’s focus on Europe – and our commitment to maintaining our global leadership in Internet poker. It’s about giving players a superior poker experience — from ‘dusk till dawn’, around the clock and around the world.”

 

Licensed through subsidiary WagerLogic Limited, the CryptoLogic-developed software will give DTDPoker.com players access to the world’s largest shared poker network that excludes the U.S. This means that players will always find the game they want, in the currency they want, at the stake and level they want — anytime. The company’s new games include Hold’Em BlackjackTM, created exclusively for CryptoLogic licensees, which combines the intensity of poker with the simplicity of blackjack. CryptoLogic has also designed a new tournament leader board, giving Internet poker sites new opportunities to create exciting events, and giving players new opportunities to win.

 

“We had a number of offers from other online poker software providers but as poker players we knew that CryptoLogic’s poker network is the biggest and best in Europe, has significant capacity to grow, and is highly secure,” said Rob Yong, DUSKTILLDAWN’s Managing Director. “DUSKTILLDAWN will be as exciting online as it is on land — and we trust CryptoLogic to help us deliver a constant flow of features and innovations for players of all levels.”

 

DTDPoker.com joins the company’s other poker licensees, including williamhillpoker.com, interpoker.com, sunpoker.com, pokerplex.com, classicpoker.com, ukbettingpoker.co.uk, littlewoodspoker.com, and soon-to-be launched Playboy and Betsafe sites.

 

“CryptoLogic’s integrity and innovation are the keys to success,” said AJ Slivinski, Managing Director of WagerLogic. “The recent additions to our licensee base and our line-up of games and tournament options strengthen our reputation as we build Europe’s #1 Internet poker network.”
