According to a statement apparently released by Microgaming, the poker network has cut off the nearly 30 poker room skins associated with software licensee Tusk Investment Corporation as a result of solvency issues currently facing Tusk.

The statement was reportedly communicated to players who were experiencing difficulties connecting to the Microgaming Network via a Tusk skin. Excerpt:

Microgaming announces that it has terminated its software licence with Tusk Investment Corporation - with immediate effect, after having received Tusk’s notification of its plans to put the Company into liquidation.

Microgaming is presently gathering all facts related to this matter and will provide further announcements as and when information becomes available.

Tusk is the licensee for the following Microgaming skins:

Battlefield Poker, Royal Card Club, Red Nines, Arctic Poker, Raw Poker, Poker.ie, Daily Poker, Flush Draw Poker, Will Bet Poker, Bet Road Poker, Grand Central Poker, Off The Rail Poker, Privy Poker, Berserk Poker, Atomik Poker, Dave’s Poker Room, Hetman Poker, Hot Pepper Poker, Poker Seas, TilttAA Poker, Loose Games Poker, CPT Gaming Poker, Ice Bear Poker, GoHard Poker, Caya Poker, Mr Urban Poker, Poker Sweden, Euro Poker Dream.

Microgaming has yet to release a statement on the matter on their website, but the skins in question no longer appear on their room list.
