The Alderney Gambling Control Commission released another statement on Monday, whereby the body essentially wiped its hands off Full Tilt Poker – for the time being.
It should be recalled that on Thursday last week, the Alderney Commission issued a dramatic statement revoking Full Tilt Poker’s gambling license. Monday’s statement essentially addressed Full Tilt Poker players who are still waiting for the money owed to them. The announcement said that because the online poker room is not licensed with the Commission any more, Alderney has no rights to enter into or mediate between any issues that players may have with Full Tilt Poker.
The statements read as follows:
“Following the revocation of the licenses, AGCC no longer has authority to intermediate or arbitrate on player issues or disputes with Full Tilt (excepting for players registered under a Swiss address). Players may have the following alternative options:
1. Full Tilt has been requested to provide a specific player contact: this is awaited and will be incorporated here upon receipt.
2. Any player who believes they are a victim of crime, as a result of their dealings with Full Tilt, should in the first instance contact their own local police in their country of residence and report the matter to them. These reports will then be coordinated centrally.
3. It is understood that a number of civil actions have been initiated by players against Full Tilt, some as class actions representing multiple players by UK, U.S. and Canadian lawyers. Details of the firms concerned can be found through Internet search.”
On Friday, Full Tilt Poker issued a statement of its own, reporting that it had found a buyer for the group and its assets in the form of Groupe Bernard Tapie, owned by a former minister in the French government and ex-owner of Adidas.
