The Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) has announced that it is commissioning an independent review of its actions in the lead up to the revocation of Full Tilt Poker’s license.

This review will be conducted externally by the former Chairman of the British Gambling Commission, Peter Dean. Dean is due to present a final report to the AGCC by the end of March 2012.

Executive Director, André Wilsenach, said, "As soon as we became aware that there were possible irregularities in relation to FTP’s operational integrity AGCC acted to discharge fully our statutory obligations. We believe we acted appropriately and fairly at all times but, following our own internal assessment and the inevitable questions that have been raised by third parties, the Commission decided that it is in the best interests of players, licence holders and AGCC itself to commission an independent review and to make the outcome public.

“I am delighted that Peter Dean has agreed to conduct the review. He has many years of experience at the top of the British Gambling Commission and commands wide respect from operators and regulators alike. He has been asked to review fully the actions taken by AGCC in respect of FTP and to focus specifically on the appropriateness, timeliness and fairness of those actions.”
