French online gambling regulator ARJEL, yesterday suspended Full Tilt’s French license and shut down its .fr site.

According to the ruling Full Tilt was given notice to prove it had sufficient funds to pay players in France but was unable to do so.

This latest ruling is another blow to Full Tilt, which saw its global operation shut down last week when the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.

Analyst Daniel Stewart & Co, said, "It is still unclear as how long the suspension would be implemented but clearly French citizens would no longer be able to play on Tilt’s dot.fr site following the suspension.

“In our view the latest developments (Alderney & France) will have done irreparable damage to the beleaguered poker operator, and we expect further migration to the likes of Stars, BPTY [bwin.party], 888 and PTEC [Playtech] to follow”
