The AGCC (Alderney Gambling Control Commission) have revoked Full Tilt Pokers gaming license despite the recent French investor testifying their “intent to purchase” the company Full Tilt Poker. The AGCC decision to revoke three of the four Full Tilt Poker licenses would make it harder to close the deal with the investor.

The AGCC released a statement which claims that Full Tilt Poker were in “serious breaches of AGCC regulations include false reporting, unauthorised provision of credit, and failure to report material events.” The AGCC also stated that “It is important to note that the revocation of FTP’s licenses does not, as has been suggested, prevent a reactivation of the business under new ownership and management.”

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York have also released a statement on the AGCC’s decision which includes what actions the Department of Justice plan on taking from here which could possibly include Full Tilt Poker players funds being returned by recovering funds from the alleged fraudulent activities. They also stated that the case “will last for many months at the least.”

Bodog Poker are currently working on an update which will be released before the end of 2011, the update will prevent poker tracking software and websites from gathering data, statistics and information. BodogPoker believe that players using the information are taking advantage of the casual poker players which often results in players not returning to the site.

Another big change which will affect their traffic, will be when Bodog Poker block USA Players at the end of the year when Bodog renew their gaming license they will no longer accept US players to play poker online at BodogPoker.

So next year we can expect to see Bodog Poker operating as a non USA Poker site with no option to use a poker hud or any software or website which used to mine data. I’m sure the poker community will have mixed feelings when the update comes into effect, some may argue that poker tools do not disadvantage other players, while casual players might feel safer playing online knowing that the sharks aren’t analyzing their playing style or gaining important information on them.

FullTiltPoker’s lawyer has urged the AGCC to hold back on their decisions for at least 30 days while the new French owners to replace the current owners. Both the DoJ and AGCC are aware of the new investors deal and are currently vetting the funds from the investor.

However if the AGCC come to a decision within the next few hours and revoke Fulltilt Poker’s gaming license, the company could possibly fold if they lose their investors, in this circumstance none of the online poker players will ever be paid out.

With so much at stake in the next few hours, we certain hope the AGCC ruling is in the best interest of the players as I’m sure they are all waiting for the final outcome of the meeting.
