Alderney Gambling Control Commission has suspended the gambling licence of Full Tilt Poker, requiring it to suspend all operations with immediate effect.
The decision follows a special investigation prompted by the indictments unsealed by US Attorney General’s Office in the Southern District of New York on April 15, during which grounds were found to indicate that these licensees and their business associates were operating contrary to Alderney legislation. The nature of the findings necessitated the taking of immediate action in the public interest.
Executive director of the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, Andre Wilsenach, commented: "The decision to suspend the egambling licence was in the public interest and, because of the seriousness and urgency of the matter, it required that immediate action be taken ahead of the regulatory hearing."
