Fortune Poker, which has been in business for nine years, will be shutting down the end of this month.

The company issued this brief statement Tuesday:

With many changes in the online gaming industry, it has been a struggle to continue to support our players and affiliates to the fullest. While we have grown very fond of our Players, Partners and Affiliates – we regret to inform you that Fortune Poker has made the unfavorable decision to close its gaming/poker operations.

Players will be able to access their accounts until April 2 while affiliates are expected to be paid no later than April 10.

Fortune Poker was running on the International Poker Network.
