Looks like players at the former Tusk operated poker and casino sites have been refunded a part of their bankrolls, roughly 16%.
Tusk, then part of the Microgaming network, collapsed in 2008. Taking down two dozend of poker skins and half a dozend of casinos with it. So the liquidation process took nearly 6 years to be completed, and the percentage of money the players will get back is not that high.

In 2008 i actually did not played online poker at all but i remember about the scandal that was about it back in 2008...
16% is way too low but in the end and most of all after all those years i assume that it's better to get something than nothing. Now i assume also the payment of this will also take a lot of time.

This is always a bitter pill to swallow when you read about things like this. The amount of money these people have lost is frightening and you must fell sorry for each and every one. To get back just 16% of your money is disgusting and just wrong

It may be disgusting and just wrong, but the players caught in the other scandals at Absolute/UB and FT should take a good look at this, cause it is very unlikely that the outcome for them will be much better.

Lol, 6 years later the problem was eliminated. Normally i like the rooms in the microgaming network (poker time, 24h, unibet etc.), but why they need a so long time to handle the problem. Hey, now we have Speed poker
