The organisation which withdrew Full Tilt’s licences has decided that in the interests of fairness there should be an independent review into what happened.
The
Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC), the body responsible for the
revocation of Full Tilt Poker’s licences, has commissioned an independent
review into their own actions.
Full
Tilt Poker have not had a good year since being shut down by the US Department
of Justice, they have been trying to repay seized bank accounts and have also
been trying to deal with claims from shareholders, board members and a number
of players who are trying to access their money.
The
committee carrying out the review will be chaired by Pete Dean CBE, the former
chairman of the British Gambling Commission. The AGCC has said that the aim of
the review is to ‘provide full transparency’.
It is
expected that the review will be completed and that Dean shall submit his
report by the end of next March. The Executive Director of the AGCC, Andre
Wilsenach, said that they became aware of some possible irregularities in
relation to Full Tilt’s “operational integrity”. He went on to say that that
the AGCC “acted to discharge fully our statutory obligations”.
Wilsenach
said that the AGCC believes that they acted appropriately and fairly at all
times. However, after finishing an internal assessment and after a number of
questions were raised by outsiders they have decided that it is in the best interests
of “players, licence holders and AGCC itself” for an independent review to take
place and publish the outcome.
Wilsenach
has expressed delight that Peter Dean will be heading the review. He believes
that dean is the right man for the job due to his “many years of experience at
the top of the British Gambling Commission and commands wide respect from
operators and regulators alike.”
Dean’s
review will be focussing on the actions taken by the AGCC in regards to Full
Tilt and specifically on the “appropriateness, timeliness and fairness” of what
took place.
The US
government and PokerStars worked together to piece together a complex plan to
end the saga as far as players are concerned. PokerStars bought FullTilt and
today has many of their players. The US government had an interesting to close
the issue and work with the online poker company. PokerStars has a reputation
of integrity, so it was good for both sides.
