On Wednesday, the Alderney Gaming Control Commission announced it will be launching an independent external review of its processes leading up to the suspension and eventual revocation of licenses owned by Full Tilt Poker. The AGCC says the decision has been taken in order to provide full transparency of the actions taken against FTP, which had its license revoked on Sept. 29, 2011, and still owes as much as $330 million to customers.
In October, the AGCC admitted to the BBC that Full Tilt Poker continuously reported funds that were not available because of several problems with payment...
"I am delighted that Peter Dean has agreed to conduct the review," Wilsenach said. He (Dean) has been asked to review fully the actions taken by AGCC in respect of FTP and to focus specifically on the appropriateness, timeliness and fairness of those actions
So, Dean has been asked to review actions taken after the Full Tilt meltdown. But what Dean apparently WAS NOT instructed to do, is to review the INACTIONS of the AGCC, with respect to enforcing PLAYER PROTECTIONS, that led to the FT meltdown.
It's like a survey. If you design the survey and it's parameters yourself, you're surely going to get the desired results you seek. In this case, the AGCC launching an independent, external review is like the AGCC investigating itself from the parking lot.
