The other bit of positive news is that Orinic Limited has applied for an AGCC category 2 license, a category 2 license permits full online gambling licensed by the AGCC.
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.”
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.
Since Full Tilt Poker closed it’s doors the company is still currently awaiting for a decision from the AGCC regarding the future of the company, things are not looking good with recent DOJ accusations calling Full Tilt Poker a Ponzi Scheme. While Full Tilt Poker’s future is undecided, PokerStars look to gain more players by developing a PokerStars Rush Poker type of game.
Expect to see the release of this new adrenalin poker software within the next few months, obviously under a different name with hopefully even more improvements on the original idea of Rush Poker and possibly PokerStars Mobile.
In their statement they said: “Full Tilt Poker will strive to have better communication with its customers going forward”; let’s hope that that part is true as to date their handling of the situation has been abysmal and one wonders if they still carry any value to the online poker world after all they have done or rather haven’t done.
Their rather lame excuse was: “Full Tilt Poker apologizes for its lack of communication with its customers over the last month and a half, but it has been grappling with unexpected and complex legal and financial issues arising from Black Friday and its aftermath. In addition, the company has had to be circumspect about disclosing the progress of negotiations with potential investors because there is often a requirement of strict confidentiality.”
The statement went on to try assure customers that their funds were safe: “Full Tilt Poker’s number one priority remains the same: to secure an infusion of capital to repay all of its worldwide customers.”
