Fortune Poker and AdamEve Poker Close Their Doors

Players of another two online poker operators received notice this week that they won't be able to play there any longer. In its statement, Fortune Poker operated by Malta-based Casidio Limited on GTech's International Poker Network, informed players that it will close on April 1st, adding: "Over the past 9 years, we have been very grateful to service you and provide you with the most personal and VIP oriented poker room online. With many changes in the online gaming industry, it has been a struggle to continue to support our players and affiliates to the fullest. While we have grown very fond of our Players, Partners and Affiliates – we regret to inform you that Fortune Poker has made the unfavorable decision to close its gaming/poker operations. "Gameplay at Fortune will cease March 31 at 23:59 GMT and the cashier will be open until April 2 at 23:59 GMT to handle cashouts. Rakeback, VIP Prizes and Race Prizes will be paid into accounts promptly on the 1st of April. The site will cease all communications effective April 15." As for the other closing operator, AdamEvePoker, its closure seems to be at least partly related to pay-out problems at US-facing Revolution Poker Network where it is one of the skins. Apparently, the operator is now looking for a new home for its poker offering, announcing that its online casino and mobile gambling operations will continue to serve players, but that the poker operation needs to be closed for now, starting from April 1st. The poker room also notified players that their account balances are safe and that “...all poker related withdrawals will be processed as soon as the network covers all due settlements.” Providing reason for suspension of deposits, the operator said they lie in "....recent events and the difficulties faced by our poker room", adding that such a move is necessary “...for the safety of funds of our players” as the difficulties were due to “many months' settlements transfer delay from the network.”
