What the hell is going on out there? I really hope that there is a legitimate reason for this ban now, and not some lame cash grab. To the poster above, if you read you would see they're not out of business. Hopefully that doesn't happen. Not that I have a special love for them but simply that it sets a bad precedent.

What is happening is natural, Full tilt, pokerstars and some other poker sites will be shut down soon. They all say that have the best software, but the reality is that all those software are to rake for them..... Who didn't win good money at this rooms, and the week after 90% of the hands was hilarius?
This is not fair play, many of you will talk about downswings bla bla bla.... try merge with fulltilt and pokertars or even ipoker and see the results and where you can have a bad day, not a full bad week after playing poker at your best.
Playing in this 2 sites always was playing against opponents and avoid the software distributing our earnings in many hands.

In short, you think that Ipoker, FTP and PS are rigged.
As soon as the suspension went into effect, real-money play on the site was halted and its servers were shut down. Players who were on the site at the time reported being booted off in the middle of their games. WTF
i feel sorry for them players , what if you were in a big pot when that happened with the winning hand, or playing a big tourney for 6 hours on and get to final table with chip lead and that happens
are full tilt gonna sort that out too, its one big fook up

Full Tilt Poker is considering reopening its operations with a permit from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
Earlier today, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission suspended Full Tilt Poker’s licenses.1 Afterwards, players were unable to connect to the client software, and Full Tilt’s website reported that its system was “down for maintenance.”
Now, multiple sources at Pocket Kings Ltd have told Subject: Poker that Full Tilt may use a permit from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission to continue allowing non-US players to play and possibly to resume processing deposits and withdrawals. The KGC regulations require a permit holder to operate its business from the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, so it would be expected to take hours for Full Tilt to accomplish the transfer of data to servers in the territory.2 In addition, the KGC website says that its application process typically takes between four and eight weeks. Some sources inside of Full Tilt have claimed that poker site either still has a permit with the KGC or could effectively skip this process, but we have been unable to verify these claims.3
The Kahnawake Mohawk Territory is a Mohawk reservation located just south of Montreal with a population of around 8,000. Its gaming commission is best known in the poker community for its regulation of Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet and its many failures after those sites’ respective superuser scandals.4 The KGC has regulated many major poker sites in its history, including Full Tilt, PokerStars, Paradise Poker, and Party Poker, in addition to Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet, but it lost favor after the scandals.5
It is unclear at this time how the various entities that work with Full Tilt Poker, such as Alderney Gambling Control Commission, payment processors, governments with citizens that play on Full Tilt Poker, and governments of countries with Full Tilt offices would react to such a move.
