Alderney Gambling Control Commission Revokes Full Tilt Poker License

The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) announced Thursday that they have revoked Full Tilt Poker's gaming license. Interestingly though, they left room in their decision to reactive the license if Full Tilt Poker were to gain new ownership and management and resolve claims by players.

One of the main points stressed by the AGCC was Full Tilt's willful and continuous deception regarding it's finances.
At a hearing held in London over six days, it emerged that FTP had fundamentally misled AGCC about their operational integrity by continuously reporting as liquid funds balances that had been covertly seized or restrained by US authorities, or that were otherwise not actually available to the operator. Serious breaches of AGCC regulations include false reporting, unauthorised provision of credit, and failure to report material events.
Leaving hope for a new owner to come in and clean up the mess that would lead to a reactivation of the license, AGCC officials stated
It is important to note that the revocation of FTP’s licences does not, as has been suggested, prevent a reactivation of the business under new ownership and management. Unresolved claims by players against FTP become a matter for the police and civil authorities. Now that FTP’s licences have been revoked, AGCC no longer has jurisdiction over these companies.
