The Everleaf Gaming Network announced at the weekend it has assumed full responsibility for Poker Trillion players after the Maltese-regulated poker room appeared to have folded amid allegations of unpaid debts including wages.
In a statement published Jan. 31, Everleaf Gaming Ltd., which owns the Everleaf Gaming Network to which Poker Trillion moved after falling out with the Boss Network which it threatened to sue, said, “With immediate effect, Everleaf Gaming LTD ( The ELG Network) has assumed full responsibility for the PLAYERS (sic) of Poker Trillion. On Monday February 2nd these players will access the network through Rockem Poker.
“Rockem Poker will continue to offer all the benefits and rewards the players enjoyed at Poker Trillion, but in addition, Rockem Poker will also be offering 25% Rakeback to all their players. This additional bonus is paid weekly.
One internet forum exploded in recriminations last week with a major shareholder of the forum claiming the site was owed £7,000 by Poker Trillion for advertising while stating it was his belief that the company owed a six figure sum to various print and web publications, as well as to the Everleaf Network, which it was unable to pay.
Colin Hawker, formerly operations manager of PokerTrillion who, “will continue to service both players and affiliates at Rockem Poker,” according to the Everleaf Gaming statement, confirmed in the public forum his wages had not been paid for several months.
Chief operations officer of PokerTrillion Ltd. Andy Pyrah has made no public statement about the takeover and it is currently unclear who the shareholders in the company are or if any public statement will be made by Poker Trillion Ltd.
