Many people follow this matter closely; PokerCollectif also. The problem in the Full Tilt Poker folder is to spend a lot of time checking the credibility of the information. Certain information give the appearance of truth, but after a little more consideration, we realize that we are being duped. Several facts out obviously and fortunately, but many legends and half-truths come out also.
Speaking of legends, last week, rumors wanted that Bwin-Party and 888 buy the competitor site Full Tilt Poker. According to the latest information we have, this news would be a publicity stunt (a little stupid when we play with the emotions of the players). This news was released on the website CanadianPoker.ca by Leon Daniel. It has also been recorded by several sites. The problem here is that it is easy to say: "if many websites talk about this new, it must be true". The trouble is that this news was that relayed, in other words, nobody does check the credibility of the new and fact that "twitter" If you'll pardon the expression. It reiterated what we had read even if it had no proof of what is claimed.
In his article, the author said: "I have mentioned in the past that companies such as 888 would be interested in the acquisition of Full Tilt Poker. 888 has one of the biggest rooms of poker online in the world, and they have lost number of clients for the benefit of Full Tilt, illegally operating room. "Now that Full Tilt is more active in the Canadian market, it seems logical that 888, a stable and strong company takes advantage of this opportunity to regain the Canada players, even if it means to take under its responsibility the famous Full Tilt debts". (notice here how the author of these lines has only good words for 888).Simple indicative, CanadianPoker is a site mainly sponsored by 888. Is this a shameless publicity stunt?
After black friday, this same journalist was windy the merits of 888 and Party to be the companies who would replace Everest Poker at the world series of poker. It is often the apology of the 888 site describing this room of "our favorite room to play poker online". Let's say that this man is not breathing objectivity.According to the latest news we have, if Full Tilt Poker is redeemed, it will be by people from the finance and not by competitors. Jeff Ifrah, legal representative of Full Tilt Poker said in an interview at the beginning of last July: "investments from the financial sector and are not, as one could speculate elsewhere, another games company online". "They are not part of our competitors, and to my knowledge these are their first steps in the online gaming sector".
Obviously, Full Tilt Poker, AGCC and the ARJEL do nothing to silence these rumours. The best way to see dozens of rumors circulating is to keep the most secret developments possible. It is unfortunate when the news created false hope in the minds of some players.
Make sure that PokerCollectif will continue to educate themselves about the folder and that we will report you news as soon as they will be known and confirmed.
