Tiltware Responds to Phil Ivey's Lawsuit

Tiltware LLC, the company that is being sued by Phil Ivey, has released an official statement in response to the lawsuit.

Yesterday, we learned the details of Phil Ivey's lawsuit against Tiltware LLC, the software and marketing company for Full Tilt Poker.

Today, the company has come out with an official response to that suit. The statement suggests that Ivey's actions are selfish and may hurt Full Tilt's ability to pay back players.

It is worth noting that this response is specifically from Tiltware, and not from Full Tilt Poker.

The complete statement:

"Contrary to his sanctimonious public statements, Phil Ivey’s meritless lawsuit is about helping just one player – himself. In an effort to further enrich himself at the expense of others, Mr. Ivey appears to have timed his lawsuit to thwart pending deals with several parties that would put money back in players’ pockets. In fact, Mr. Ivey has been invited -- and has declined -- to take actions that could assist the company in these efforts, including paying back a large sum of money he owes the site. Tiltware doubts Mr. Ivey’s frivolous and self-serving lawsuit will ever get to court. But if it does, the company looks forward to presenting facts demonstrating that Mr. Ivey is putting his own narrow financial interests ahead of the players he professes to help."

As always, we will keep you posted with developments as they occur.
