SWEDEN - A day after PokerTrillion announced a successful seizure of Boss Media assets in Macau valued at US$30 million, the Swedish online gaming software provider and poker network operator strongly refuted the claims by its former customer.
In a message posted on its site, Boss Media asserted that it had terminated PokerTrillion from the IPN (Boss Medias poker network) following the poker rooms alleged rakeback violations. It goes on to inform players and other licensees that funds are held separately from what PokerTrillion asserted as seized assets and that there is no disruption of service while the company explores its legal options.
Full statement of the refutal follows:
Poker Trillion’s recent comments are a reckless attempt to support a legal action that is without merit and initiated as retribution for their dismissal from the Boss Media network. To be clear, player funds are not affected by the current proceedings. All players’ funds are held separately under the control of the Malta Lotteries and Gaming Authority and cannot be seized by any court.
Poker Trillion is a former customer of Boss Media who was terminated because of rake back violations. They have since then repeatedly tried to disrupt the Boss Media business through the dissemination of groundless rumors. In April 2008 Poker Trillion alleged in a press release a claim that among other things, Boss Media player funds were frozen. The allegations were false but typical of the type of tactics employed by Poker Trillion.
While there has been no hearing on the merits of the Poker Trillion suit, there have been preliminary hearings on the matter. Boss Media has assured that adequate security is provided in Malta in the event of an award of damages against it which we believe to be unlikely.
Boss Media is currently exploring various legal options regarding our Maltese assets and can assure that Boss Media has the requisite assets in place to ensure that our business will continue to operate with the highest standards. In the extremely unlikely event that any Malta operations would be affected, Boss Media have high-performance back-up systems in place to ensure continued service to all our customers and their players.
