29 June 2011 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Media Release
Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) has today issued Hearing Notices under
Regulation 46 of its Regulations to Vantage Ltd, Oxalic Ltd, Filco Ltd and Orinic Ltd,
collectively trading as FULL TILT POKER.
In addition, AGCC has issued Suspension Notices under Regulation 47 to the above named
companies requiring them to suspend all operations with immediate effect.
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 15 April 2011, during which grounds were found to indicate that these licensees and their
business associates were operating contrary to Alderney legislation. The nature of the
findings necessitated the taking of immediate action in the public interest.
Andre Wilsenach, the Executive Director of the Alderney Gambling Control Commission
says: ‘The decision to suspend the eGambling licence was in the public interest and, because
of the seriousness and urgency of the matter, it required that immediate action be taken ahead
of the regulatory hearing.’
Any further announcements on this matter can be found on the website of AGCC at
