Pokerducks Online Casino Story

This year has been a bit rough on some of the online casino and poker gambling companies in the industry – although the internet gambling industry seems to have mostly recovered from any lasting recession driven effects, there are other factors in play that regard an internet gambling site’s success. For Pokerducks, the gambling site was gaining a lot of popularity amongst all of the online casinos and poker sites offered in the international market, but this week, the site has announced its doors are firmly closed. That’s it. The site shut down with very little warning given to the industry or its gamblers.

And while there was no real way to see this online casino closure ahead of time, there have been a few smaller indications for a while now that this gambling group was not everything it was claiming to be. One of the first major issues to surface with Pokerducks was the fact that the internet gambling site claimed to hold a license to operate from the reputable licensing jurisdiction of Malta. This is not actually the case, Pokerducks is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission in Canada and therefore winnings at the online casino and poker site is not tax-deductible as the site was claiming.

In addition to this issue, though, the gambling site has operated on the Boss Media network over the past year and recently suffered from heavy fines levied on the online casino and poker site because Pokerducks had too many registered and winning players and not enough “new blood” coming into the site. For these reason Pokerducks abruptly announced its closure and left only an email address for player support on the site.
