KGC Renews Full Tilt’s Secondary License

In the latest news from the Full Tilt Poker saga, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) announced that they had "granted an application to renew the Secondary Client Provider Authorization held by Kolyma Corporation A.V.V., operating as 'Full Tilt Poker', effective August 1, 2011 for a term of (2) years."

According to the KGC, a secondary CPA licensee must hold a valid license to operate interactive gaming that has been issued by a comparable jurisdiction (aka a "primary license"). The KGC claims that they were in contact with the AGCC (Alderney Gambling Control Commission), and were informed that Full Tilt Poker's primary licenses are valid, even though they have been suspended.

There has been no indication as to whether or not Full Tilt actually did apply for a new primary CPA. This leaves people to speculate on what this means for Full Tilt Poker. What good is a secondary license if their AGCC license remains suspended? Could it mean that Full Tilt Poker will give up on the AGCC and move to the KGC if they don't get their desired results?

Last Tuesday, the AGCC held the Full Tilt Poker license suspension and after much legal drama, the final result was simply an adjournment to no later than September 15th to give Full Tilt Poker time to seek investment and better comply with AGCC regulations to return their gaming license.
