Back to mainAGCC Releases Statement on Full Tilt
By Paul Ellis - August 7th, 2011
The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC), the licensing body where Full Tilt Poker holds its license, released a statement on Saturday regarding Full Tilt Poker’s overdue licensing fees. The news of the overdue fees became public when they were disclosed during the hearing in London last month, and were reported to be around $410,000. Matin Heslop, who represented Full Tilt Poker at the hearings explained that the reason the fee’s weren’t paid in full related to Full Tilt’s expectation that the AGCC did not have any intention of reinstating it’s license, and didn’t wish to remit payment in vain. Heslop also explained that Full Tilt could pay the fees within seven days if there was a reasonable chance that the license could be reinstated, and with the news of the press release today, that appears to be the case.

Update on Full Tilt Suspension, Phil Ivey
By Paul Ellis - July 1st, 2011It’s been a roller coaster week of news for Full Tilt Poker, but a light at the end of the tunnel appears to be looming for the once prominent online poker juggernaut. On Wednesday, casino regulators on the British Channel Islands suspended the license of Full Tilt Poker, bringing a complete halt to the company’s online card games and heightening the legal troubles they are facing in the United States. However, a reported sale to European Investors is pending, and may offer a solution that could potentially make withdrawals possible for Full Tilt customers. Read More…
Isildur1 and Sauce123 Clash at the PLO Tables

Monday’s contest featured Viktor Blom (’Isildur1′) and Ben Sulsky (’Sauce123′) butting heads at the $25/50 PLO tables, Read More…
