AGCC revokes full tilt poker licenseThe 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.

They also stated that the case “will last for many months at the least.”
