In April, US authorities temporarily shut down Full Tilt and two other rivals' websites, accusing them of illegal gambling, bank fraud, and money laundering. Yesterday, Alderney's Gambling Control Commission issued hearing notices for four companies that collectively trade as Full Tilt Poker.
They said a hearing would take place on July 26 in London, and suspended the gambling licence with immediate effect, pending the outcome. It leaves Irish workers in limbo.
The Channel Island authority said it launched a special investigation following the US move in April and took last night's action based on its findings.
