Full Tilt Poker Faces Second Class Action LawsuitCompany is Currently in the Process of Getting its License Reinstated |

EGaming Review Magazine has reported that online site Full Tilt Poker is facing yet another class action lawsuit over frozen player funds, this time from two former Canadian customers.
Zayn Jetha and Donald Whelan are filing a suit against Howard Lederer, Ray Bitar, and Nelson Burtnick, as well as Full Tilt Poker Ltd and associated companies Orinic, Oxalic, Tiltware and Vantage. A summons was issued about a week ago.
The litigation comes about a month after four U.S. poker players, including lawyer and poker pro Todd Terry, brought a similar suit against the suspended online poker company.
Earlier this month Full Tilt paid £250,000 in overdue license fees to the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC), after a hearing in London on July 26 saw allegations come forth that the online company had breached its terms with the AGCC, allegedly failing to pay its licensing fees. AGCC commissioners decided to adjourn the public meeting on Full Tilt’s license until at the latest Sept. 15, with all future hearings to be held in private.
