Full Tilt Comments on California Lawsuit
October 13, 2009 3:05 pmA $80,000 dollar lawsuit was recently filed in California by two players that were banned from Full Tilt Poker for having multiple accounts and robot play. Full Tilt has now released an official statement about the lawsuit.
Lary Kennedy and Greg Omoty are the players that have now filed the suite against Full Tilt Poker. Full Tilt says “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.
Having multiple accounts violates the terms and agreements that govern fair and lawful play by creating an unfair advantage over other players at Full Tilt Poker and so the two were banned.
“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.”
