News: Statement From Full Tilt Poker Regarding Rake Back + AGCC Statement [UPDATE]

PokerStrategy.com has received a statement from Full Tilt Poker regarding rake back payments which you find below.

"Dear xy,

We regret to inform you that due to the recent suspension of our license by the Alderney Gaming Control Commission, Full Tilt Poker is temporarily unable to facilitate ‘real money’ play, deposits or withdrawals.

Unfortunately, this includes the processing of any affiliate commissions to either your affiliate or player account, as well as any pending rakeback payments to your players.

We are in ongoing discussions with the AGCC with the aim of rectifying the situation as soon as possible, thereby re-enabling real money play on the site and the processing of these commissions and rakeback payments to you and your players.

In the meantime, your commissions are safe and business will continue as usual once the game is up and running again.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these actions and will keep you updated with any information as it becomes available. Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Full Tilt Poker Affiliate Team"

Update: New Statement from AGCC

"Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) is in discussions, all be at an early stage, with its licensees trading as Full Tilt Poker and a third party concerning the prospective refinancing of Full Tilt Poker.

The objective of these discussions is to enable the site to re-open to its current and prospective players.

Contrary to current reports circulating in the media, AGCC has not authorised any statement by legal counsel in this regard and has no knowledge of the comments attributed by the editor of Gambling City.net to a Mr. Werner Bers, of whom we are otherwise unaware, and disputes the correctness of his statement."
