Tiltware Respond To Ivey Lawsuit

A day on from Phil Ivey’s public announcement that he will not be attending this year’s World Series of Poker, as well as his decision to take legal action against Tiltware – the software and marketing company of Full Tilt Poker – Tiltware have issued a response.

Ivey is taking legal action against Full Tilt Poker claiming breach of contract, amongst other things, and is seeking damages for lost income and business opportunities.

Tiltware issued this statement by way of response:

“Contrary to his sanctimonious public statements, Phil Ivey’s meritless lawsuit is about helping just one player – himself. In an effort to further enrich himself at the expense of others, Mr. Ivey appears to have timed his lawsuit to thwart pending deals with several parties that would put money back in players’ pockets.”

The statement continues: “In fact, Mr. Ivey has been invited – and has declined – to take actions that could assist the company in these efforts, including paying back a large sum of money he owes the site. Tiltware doubts Mr. Ivey’s frivolous and self-serving lawsuit will ever get to court. But if it does, the company looks forward to presenting facts demonstrating that Mr. Ivey is putting his own narrow financial interests ahead of the players he professes to help.”

This one could turn nasty.
