FULL TILT POKER COMMENTS ON LITIGATION (Update)
16 October 2009
Californian robot-play lawsuits described as
"baseless" by online poker company
The $80 000 lawsuit against Full Tilt Poker.com filed in
California recently by two players banned for
multi-accounting and robot play (see previous InfoPowa
report) has triggered an official statement from the
company.
In the statement, the company claims:
“Full Tilt Poker has been made aware of the recent
filing of a baseless lawsuit by former Full Tilt Poker
customers - Ms. Lary Kennedy and Mr. Greg Omotoy. Both
of these player accounts were appropriately terminated
for multiple violations of the express terms and
conditions governing fair and lawful play in the Full
Tilt Poker online virtual cardroom, including their own
admissions of using multiple accounts.
"The
usage of multiple accounts not only violates the clear
terms and agreements governing fair and lawful play, it
creates an unequal and unfair advantage that Full Tilt
Poker does not and will not permit. We aim to protect
our players at all cost, thus we terminated these two
claimants’ accounts.
"The claims of these former
customers have no merit, their complaint is frivolous,
especially given the lack of candor during extensive
investigation and the unequivocal and unambiguous
admissions of using multiple accounts.
"With
respect to alleged use of prohibited automated systems,
the claimants’ false assertions will be revealed as such
in due course. Full Tilt Poker has never knowingly
allowed "bots" to play on its site. To the extent either
of these claimants indeed used such prohibited “bots” in
violation of all applicable rules, such impermissible
use by the claimants was without the knowledge of Full
Tilt Poker. When fraud, collusion, and cheating of any
kind is uncovered, Full Tilt Poker investigates
extensively, and then acts accordingly and
appropriately, as was the case involving these
claimants.
"As always, Full Tilt Poker remains
committed to protecting their players from anything that
might compromise the integrity of its games. Full Tilt
Poker expects that this erroneous lawsuit and its
spurious claims will be dealt with accordingly by proper
courts of law and other appropriate tribunals. Full Tilt
Poker expects that these claimants will be obliged to
compensate the aggrieved defendants for any harm that
may arise out of their false allegations, and for the
wrongful institution of these bad faith legal
proceedings.”
