Full Tilt Update: Considering Kahnawake & Statement Released
Sources inside Full Tilt Poker have leaked that in response to the suspension of its license, Full Tilt is considering a move to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
 |
As you may already know, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission suspended Full Tilt Poker's gaming licenses for reasons related to the United States indictments of individuals associated with Full Tilt.
Due to this situation, Full Tilt has suspended all play, deposits, and withdrawals for customers worldwide.
Several individuals within Full Tilt told Subject: Poker that in response to this new development, Full Tilt is actively investigating reopening using a license from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC).
Licensing through the KGC typically takes 4 to 8 weeks, but it has been speculated that Full Tilt may be able to significantly reduce that estimate.
The KGC has in the past held the licenses of Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars, Party Poker, and many other sites that have since moved. Sites currently registered with them include UB, Absolute Poker, and Bodog.
As always, we'll keep you posted as any and all developments related to this situation arise.
