Full Tilt’s operating licence suspended

Full Tilt has been forced to halt all operations within Alderney with immediate effect after the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) announced the suspension of Full Tilt’s operating licence.

According to a statement released by the AGCC this morning, “The decision to suspend these licenses follows a special investigation prompted by the indictments unsealed by US Attorney General’s Office in the Southern District of New York on 15th April 2011, during which grounds were found to indicate that these licensees and their business associates were operating contrary to Alderney legislation.”

At the time of writing, Full Tilt servers are inaccessible to UK players, but it remains to be seen whether European operations are down completely, with the site apparently undergoing ‘Scheduled Maintenance’ according to www.fulltiltpoker.com.
