General
1) I live in the U.S.A., can I play on the site legally?
Duplicate Poker accepts U.S. citizens from most states, however we currently do not accept players from: Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont. U.S. Citizens that reside in those states are not allowed to participate in online fee-based contests with prizes.
2) Isn't playing on Duplicate Poker considered gambling?
No. Duplicate Poker is a skill-based games site. Games in which the outcomes are determined more by skill than by chance are not gambling games under the laws of most of the states in the U.S. The rules for conducting the various forms of duplicate poker offered by Duplicate Poker assure that the luck of the draw element normally associated with poker games is eliminated. This results in the outcome of the games being determined primarily by the skill with which the identical hands are played by the players competing against each other.
3) I just signed up and haven't gotten my activation e-mail?
The Duplicate Poker validation email is sent out immediately. If you do not see this email in your inbox within a few minutes of registration, you may need to check your Spam/Bulk/Junk/Quarantine folder. Many ISPs' and companies' email exchange filters treat poker-related email as unsolicited or bulk email and either block or divert them to SPAM or BULK folders. You may need to check with your ISP or system administrator to find out where this mail is stored. If it is not in your Spam/Bulk file, and you still haven't received it, please contact customercare@duplicatepoker.com.
4) How do I get my $3.00 sign-up bonus?
You must be a new player to receive the sign-up bonus. The bonus will be placed into your account immediately.
5) How are player points earned?
Player Points are earned through cash game play:
* Player Points may not be sold or given away to another player
* Player Points will accumulate in the player’s account until used by the player
* Player Points have no cash value other than the value of the event, bonus, or prize for which they are being redeemed
* Players earn one Player Point for each $0.10 in fees or rake paid to play in cash games or tournaments.
6) What do I do with my earned player points?
Currently player points are used only to earn your sign-up bonus. Soon, you will be able to use them as buy-ins for cash and/or freeroll tournaments. In the future, you will be able to use them in our store for merchandise and Duplicate Poker logowear.
7) I am having difficulties receiving e-mails from Duplicate Poker, what can I do to ensure I receive them?
In an effort to fight the growing volume of SPAM email, service and software providers have been implementing new anti-spam filters. Inadvertently, large numbers of legitimate emails are falsely identified as SPAM and not delivered to an INBOX. Instead these emails are either blocked or delivered to SPAM or BULK folders, or automatically deleted. This may be why you are not receiving your important Duplicate Poker transaction details, along with our exciting news, events and promotions. To ensure you receive all Duplicate Poker emails please follow the instructions from your email client to add Duplicate Poker to the safe list or permitted sender list.
8) Can Duplicate Poker be used behind a firewall?
Yes! Duplicate Poker will work seamlessly behind all personal firewalls if it's allowed access to the internet. Corporate firewalls might need configuration. Duplicate Poker connects via ports 80 (HTTP), 224 (SSL), and 1280-1295 to our remote servers.
9) Do you support MAC users?
No. Unfortunately, at the moment, Mac support is unavailable.
10) Why can't I find the hands I played in the History section?
If you have selected the "play money" button on the main page of the poker client, the history will show your play money hands. When you switch to the "real money" tab, the history display will also change to those hands. You will need to exit and re-enter the history section for the change to take place.
11) What happens if I get disconnected during a hand?
In Tournaments - if you get disconnected, you have 4 hands to return. If you do not return within these 4 hands, you are eliminated. In a fixed number of hands tournaments, if you are disconnected before the last 10 hands, you have 4 hands to return before being eliminated. If you are disconnected within the last 10 hands of the tourney, you have only 2 hands to return to the game before elimination.
In Ring games - you fold (or check, if no more bet/raise actions were taken) the hand you were playing, the system will then automatically sit you out until you return. You have to return within 4 hands in order to maintain your spot.
12) I receive an "invalid version" message when I try to join a game or a tournament. Why is that?
To include more features and improve the game experience, the technical team updates the Duplicate Poker gaming servers from time to time. Players with an old version of the client application can enjoy those new features by updating their clients. To update the client application a player must go to the Duplicate Poker website and download/install a new client application. The update will solve the "invalid version" message and the player can now enjoy the new added features.
13) What is Duplicate Poker's "zero tolerance" policy?
Duplicate Poker has a Zero Tolerance Policy regarding racial, religious and gender slurs. Any player violating our Zero Tolerance Policy will be immediately notified and removed from the site. There will be no warnings for this type of behavior.

Game Play
16) I want to play for different stakes than the ones listed.
Please let us know what the amount is, and we'll pass it on to the poker room manager. If there is a demand for that amount, it may be added.
17) I see two kinds of chips that increase and decrease. Why two?
In duplicate poker tournaments there are two kinds of chips: hand chips and Net Total Chips. The hand chips are used to bet on your hand, and each player starts each hand with the same amount. The Net Total Chips change according to your performance, and are accumulated during the tournament. The hand chips are your "tools" in each hand, the Net Total Chips are the results by which you are scored.
18) What are Net Total Chips (NTC)?
At the beginning of the tournament, each player has a score of zero NTC. You gain or subtract NTC according to your achievement on each hand. So, after each hand you may have more or less Net Total Chips. These are the chips which determine your standing in the tournament. Your NTC is only compared with others at different tables but the same seat position as you for a given session. After a session ends your ranking within your comparison group based on NTC determines whether you advance to the next session. Depending on the tournament type and your ranking, you may be given additional chips called "carryover" chips.
19) What are hand chips?
At the start of each hand each player gets the exact same amount of hand chips. These are the chips you will use to bet on that hand, and that hand only. After the showdown, once a new hand is dealt, you (and all other players) will receive new hand chips that will be played in that hand.
20) How is the amount of hand chips determined?
The hand chips amounts are predetermined by the poker room manager.
21) Can I play at more than one tourney at a time?
You can currently play as many tournaments and Quick Play games at the same time as you wish.
22) I am registered to a tourney, but don't want to play it. What can I do?
You can unregister from a tourney up until registration closes. Click "unregister" in the tournament lobby.
23) After everyone folded, cards (flop, turn or river) are still being dealt. Why?
Since you are compared to other tables, you will see the cards they are being dealt, so you will know what you would have received. As long as at least one table in your section plays on, all tables will see the cards dealt.
24) I saw that I had less time to make my playing decision after a few hands. Why?
In order to hasten the game, a player which takes a long time in making his decisions has his time cut down. This will remain until he increases his playing speed for a few hands. After playing more quickly, time will be restored to its usual 10 seconds per decision.
25) When does a tournament opens for registration?
Registration will open 1 hour prior to the event. Late registration will not be allowed once the tournament has begun.
26) Where can I see my current place in a tournament?
In most tournaments, you cannot see your exact ranking until a session is completed or the game is over. Not showing rank and NTC amounts encourages players to play their own hands for maximum value and not make strategy decisions based on opponents net total chip amounts. However at this time, a few tournaments are on the schedule (called “Show-Rank-All-Times”) and you can see Rank and NTC amounts.
27) I've run out of chips, how can I get more?
In a ring game you can enter the cashier from the main lobby window or by placing your mouse pointer the table shoe and clicking the rebuy button.
28) I can't understand the scoring. Why did I lose money when I did the correct thing? (like folding a weak hand, raising with no callers etc.)
Your result depends on several factors: the players at your table, the players compared to you in your seat position, and the players at their tables. Sometimes the wrong move
will succeed, but in the long run, correct poker will triumph.
29) Why do we get a different amount of chips at each level?
In order to imitate the fluctuations of a regular tourney, the ratio between the big blind and the chip stack changes. As the tourney progresses, the ratio becomes smaller and
smaller, as a result, all the players are more short-stacked by the later rounds.
30) How is the number of Net Total Chips won or lost decided?
You can find detailed information about scoring on our website at http://www.duplicatepoker.com/website/epokerusa.aspx?page=dpg_rules
31) I have to leave in a middle of a tournament. What should I do?
You can leave whenever you want to. You will not be unregistered, and will not receive a refund. If you leave your tournament window open, you will fold constantly, and
gradually lose all your chips. If you close the computer or the application, you will be treated as a disconnected player; see question #11.
32) What happens if a player just sits out or folds every hand?
A time penalizing mechanism has been implemented to penalize a player who is not actively participating.
33) How does the time penalty mechanism work?
Every time a player fails to act, the time penalizing mechanism reduces the amount of time the player has to act for his next betting turn. There are four steps to the penalty - 10 seconds (the normal, full amount of time), 8 seconds, 6 seconds and 4 seconds. In tournament games, when a player reaches the maximum penalty, and still allows the timer to
go down to zero, the player will be penalized an amount of hand chips equal to the big blind for that level of the tournament. That amount is added to the table's pot. This will
affect the ranking and Net Total Chips of the penalized player. By using this method, a player that is not actively participating in the game will be penalized and eliminated
from play in an effective manner.
34) What happens when one table is playing faster than another?
When one table finishes the betting round, the players at the other comparison tables will have a slightly reduced amount of time for their own betting round in order to speed
up the game. Once a new hand is dealt, these times are reset to maximum.
35) What is the difference between PL (Pot Limit) and NL (No Limit)?
In Pot Limit (PL) Texas Hold'em, the maximum a player may bet is the total amount in the pot. In No Limit (NL) Texas Hold'em, there is no limit to the amount a player can bet at
any time.
36) A player wins a lot of Net Total Chips but is still eliminated from a tournament. How come?
Duplicate Poker is played under general rules which eliminate the luck of draw, making duplicate poker a game of skill. Those rules are: • First, there are always two or more tables of players, with the same number of players seated at each table. • Second, an identically shuffled deck of cards is used at each table for each hand played so that players in the same seat position at each table receive the same hole cards and the common cards are the same at each table. • Third, every player begins each hand with the same number of playing chips, regardless of how he/she may have done in any previous hand. • Fourth, the winners of each session are determined based on the Net Total Chips they have at the end of the session as compared with the NTC held by all players in the same seat at the other tables. Even when a player has a high NTC amount, he still needs to be compared with the other players sitting at the same position at the compared tables. If another player in his comparison group succeeded in winning even more chips, then the player losses in the comparison.
37) Why do you use Total Chips Scoring?
For duplicate poker, there are two basic types of scoring that can be used. They are:
Total-Chips Scoring: A net running score is kept for each player. Chips won or lost on each deal all have the same value throughout a session. At the end of a session, net running scores are compared, and players in each seat position are ranked by how their total chips won or lost for the session measure up against each other.Each-Deal Scoring: A running score is not used. At the end of each deal, players in each seat position have their scores compared, and are ranked for that deal. At the end of a session, each player is scored for that session by adding up the points awarded to him or her on each individual deal.
In any contest, the scoring method used has a strong influence on the strategy of the contestants. We feel it is important to preserve the character of poker, so the strategy used in our duplicate contests should resemble the strategy used in regular poker as much as possible. In regular poker, in non-tournament games, you are not scored by how you do on each deal. Your net score for a session determines how much you won or lost, and whether or not your efforts have been successful. This is actually "Total-Chips Scoring." Regular poker tournament play strategy follows this same principle, where your overall result is also based on "Total-Chips Scoring."
It should be obvious that using Each-Deal scoring would require a new kind of strategy for poker, one that would be alien to that used in regular poker. For example, comparing with three other people, if you fold on a given deal, and the other three people all win 100 chips, you get a score of zero, and your opponents each receive a score of 2. On the next deal, if they all fold, and you win 10,000 chips, you get a score of 3, and your opponents will each get a score of 1. So all four of you will have a score of 3 after two deals. Yet you have won 9,900 chips more than each of your opponents! We do not think this
38) What is a Sit n Go?
A Sit n Go is a tournament that is not regularly scheduled; it simply begins when all the seats for the event are filled. These tournaments can be found by clicking on the "Sit n Go" tab in the main client window.

Tournaments
55) What are the main characteristics of Duplicate Texas Hold'em Poker tournaments?
- First, there are always two or more tables of players, with the same number of players seated at each table.
- Second, an identically ordered deck of cards is used at each table for each deal, so that players in the same seat position at each table receive the same hole cards, and the board-cards are the same at each table.
- Third, every player begins each deal with the same number of playing chips, regardless of how he or she may have done in any previous deal.
- Fourth, the player’s score for each deal is based on the net number of chips he or she has at the end of that deal as compared with the number of chips the player had at the start of that deal.
- Fifth, the player’s score for a session (set series of deals) is whatever the net plus or minus result is for that player on all of the deals played in that session.
- Sixth, a player’s outcome for a session is determined by that player’s ranking compared to each of the other players in his or her same seat position.
In regular tournaments (events that involve more than one session), players advancing to the next session may be awarded a pre-determined number of carryover chips based on their relative ranking at the end of the immediately previous session.
A player’s carryover chips are added to the net total chips (running score) of that player at the start of the next session.
The actual score of the player does not determine the amount of the carryover. Rather the amount of carryover earned is based on the player’s relative rank for his or her seat position.
58) What are Blind Levels?
Blinds will be increased in predetermined amounts at the completion of one or more rounds of play in each of the tournament sessions.
59) Where can I see my current score and line rank?
During the course of the session, players can see their present NTC (Net Total Chips) score at his/her table seat (Right below the player name field). In addition the tournament lobby screen reflects all the action and scoring for all players and table participating in the tournament. To see your line score and rank, select your table from the tables' grid, next select your name or seat position from the table seats grid, and finally you can monitor all your opponents’ current score and rank, on the final seat opponents' grid.
60) Before registering to a tournament, how can I see the current Prize Pool, Tournament Structure and Details?
After selecting the desired tournament from the main lobby tournaments display, the selected tournament lobby screen will open. This lobby will give you all the tournament details that you need. On this lobby screen, you can see the current status of the tournament, the Buy-In amount, the total number of players already registered to it (On the Players Grid View) and all the related info for this tournament.
The Prize Pool is dynamically updated with each new registered player. By clicking the "More Info" link from the prize pool information, a more detailed screen is opened with extra detailed tournament structure and prize pooling information, which again is updated in real time.
At the beginning of the hand, the initial stack of chips that the player receives is used for the betting on each deal. The Starting Stack is restored to the same size for all players at the beginning of each deal. The amount of hand chips the player has left at the end of the deal is compared with the starting stack size to determine the quantity of chips the player won or lost on that deal. The amount of net hand chips won or lost is then applied to the player’s previous results in the session to determine his or her running net total chips.
62) What is Net Total Chips (NTC)?
The Net Total Chips is the cumulative amount of net Hand Chips won and lost by a player at any point during a session. This amount includes any carryover chips awarded to the player from the play in the previous session of events with multiple sessions. The amount of a player’s net total chips at the end of a session is used to determine his or her rank relative to the other players in the same seat position. This rank is determined by comparing the order of a player’s net total chips at the end of a session with the net total chips of the other players in that same seat position.
63) How is the amount of Net Total Chips (NTC) calculated during the session?
The amount of hand chips the player has left at the end of the deal is compared with the starting stack size to determine the quantity of chips the player won or lost on that deal. The amount of net hand chips (HC) won or lost is then applied to the player’s previous Net Total Chips (NTC) result.
For example, a player’s starting stack is 10,000 HC for a given deal. At the end of the deal the player was left with 8,000 total Hand Chips (HC). The amount of net Hand Chips (HC) won or lost is –2,000 HC (Loss of 2,000 HC). Let’s say that the player’s previous Net Total Chips (NTC) result was 5,000 NTC, so at the end of this Deal the score will updated to 3,000 NTC.
The series of Deals in which the dealer button makes exactly one complete revolution of the table.
65) What is a Session?
A period of play consisting of a pre-determined number of deals, at the end of which play stops and results are compared. In multi-session events, at the end of a session players may be eliminated or advanced to the next session based on their ranking relative to others in the same seat position.
66) What is a Section?
In order to speed up play, Duplicate Poker may divide the initial play in tournaments into sections where all tables and the players at those tables that are simultaneously playing the same deals, while tables and players in other sections will simultaneously be playing a different set of deals.
67) How are ties resolved?
If there is a tie in the number of net total chips at the end of a given session, the tie will be broken in the following manner to determine who advances to the next session in multi-session events. The first tiebreak method is a comparison of the respective net total chips accumulated during the session before adding any carryover chips. If there is still a tie, the second tiebreak method is a score comparison at the end of the previous blind level, then the blind level before that, et cetera. If the tie cannot be broken by these methods, the tie will be broken by a simple draw.
68) How are ties for prize money resolved?
The tiebreak system is only used to determine who advances to the next session.
69) What are Mini-Matches/Round Robin (RR) sessions for in Regular Tournaments?
In multi-session events, called Round Robins, the final 4 or 6 players will play a pre-determined number of deals in mini-matches against each of the other finalists in a tournament. For each mini-match played, a player will be awarded 2 points for each win, 1 point for second place and 0 points for third place.
70) How is a tie for the Round Robin (RR) sessions resolved?
Prizes are awarded on the basis of point totals from the five mini-matches. Awarding the higher place to the player who has won the greater number of mini-matches will break a tie. (There are no further tie breaks used)
71) Who gets to hold the dealer button at the beginning of each session?
When the tournament starts, the system will seed the players’ table and seats automatically (Randomize). The players sitting on the first seat (The one to the left to the dealer) will start as the Small Blinds.
72) In what ways can I be eliminated from a Tournament?
There are two ways in which you may be eliminated from a tournament.
- Losing too many chips. You will be eliminated from the event if you exceed the elimination point, which is NTC -30,000 chips or more. For example, if you get to the point where you’re running tournament chip count for that session is NTC-28,000, you will still have 10,000 HC chips for play of the next deal, but if you lose 2,000 HC or more on a hand, then you may have exceeded the elimination point. The purpose of this rule is to encourage thoughtful, normal play rather than wild, overly aggressive play.
- Failing to make the cut when we compare total scores against the other players in your same seat number at the end of a Session. After the first session approximately half the field is eliminated at the end of each session until the start of the final round robin matches.
At the start of a session, each player has a lower limit as the point his net total score reaches where he will be eliminated from the event for excessive chip use. This is the "Elimination Point". The minute a player finishes a deal with NTC (Net Total Chip) less than the EP chips amount allowed for his line he will be eliminated from the tournament.
During the course of the session players can see there present EP (Elimination Point) at his/her table seat (Right to the NTC score).The Elimination Point will be presented as followed: -8000(-30K), Where the -8000 is the NTC score and the number between the brackets is the Elimination Point. (-30K means -30,000 NTC Elimination Point).
A seat that has held "unlucky cards" may have extra chips of leeway added to this figure of -30,000 NTC Elimination Point at the start of a new level. If so, the players will be notified of this.
76) What should I focus on when playing a tournament?
- Remember you are really competing against the other players in your same seat position at the other tables, not directly against your opponents at your table.
- Making the cut is your first priority. If you are not in, you can't win!
- Try to form an opinion on how you are doing as compared to how those in your same seat position at the other tables may be doing. If you believe you are ahead of your counterparts, do not take risky chances.
- Try to form an opinion as to how well your opponents at your table are doing relative to those in their same seat positions at the other tables. This will help you analyze their states of mind. If your opponent thinks he or she is ahead, then the opponent may take fewer chances. If the opponent thinks he or she is behind, then the opponent may take more chances.
Regular tournaments are a multiple sessions; pre-scheduled events open for any number of players. The final session of the tournament is a Round Robin session match. The duration of a regular tournament can last between 1 to 4 hours depend on the number of players enrolled. Prizes are awarded to the top ranked players’ based on their final rank.
Speed tournament are a pre-scheduled events open for up to 36 players with 2 sessions only. Prizes are awarded to the top players at each of the final seat lines.
All Betting Sessions will be played "Pot limit".At the point (session) that players are in the money the game will become a No-Limit betting form.
