According to a number of reports this week, Groupe Bernard Tapie's agreement to buy Full Tilt Poker could be finalised as early as this week.
The deadline for completion was extended until March 16 and according to several reports, including Gaming Intelligence, "sources on both sides are confident that the deadline will be met."
However, The iGaming Post isn't as confident, stating that once and if the deal has been finalised, it has been estimated by many that it will take approximately one month before Full Tilt can reopen for business. Before this can happen though, all players who are owed money would need to be paid back, or at least arrangements to pay them would need to be in place.
"This would seem to make the hoped for launch of FTP2 as early as one month into the deal concluded, hopeful at best," said the report.
