Kahnawake Gaming Comission renews Full Tilt Poker’s secondary license

The AGCC primary license is considered to be valid, although suspended

Full Tilt Poker has probably gone through more than any of the other online poker sites combined, especially in the last four months. For the last month, at least, Full Tilt has been completely shut down, with its license being suspended by the governing authority that issued it, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. The hearing that was meant to restore the license was postponed, surprisingly, at the request of Full Tilt’s lawyers.

They have pleaded for the hearing to be adjourned until no later than September the 15th, and during this time they will straighten out their financial issues. Even though they were presented with the opportunity of paying the AGCC the owed amount (no more than £250,000, which is far less than the amount Full Tilt owes its own players) within 7 days, this term has came and went, with no result.

However, over the course of this week, there has been one piece of news circulating that will make Full Tilt fans a bit more optimistic regarding their favorite site’s fate: the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, the agency that issued Full Tilt’s secondary gaming license, has issued a press statement saying that they are going to renew the site’s license.

Full Tilt Poker already had a license with the KGC, and if poker fans remember, when the AGCC suspended their Alderney license, Full Tilt representatives were thinking of switching to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission as their main governing authority.

The condition needed in order for the KGC to renew a secondary license (which is actually called a SCPA, or Secondary Client Provider Authorization), there is a condition that needs to be fulfilled: the site’s “primary jurisdiction” license has to be valid – in Full Tilt Poker’s case, that would be the license issued by the AGCC. And, apparently, the Alderney license is indeed valid. The AGCC has already confirmed it, and it seems like it effectively green-lights Full Tilt’s secondary license to be renewed. However, the site’s service is still down, and they have not switched to the Kawnahake Gaming Commission’s servers in order to provide users with poker games.

So the latest poker news is that we will have to continue waiting until the middle of September for a resolution to this conflict, as Full Tilt Poker won’t run on the Kawnahake license just yet.
