Americas Cardroom CEO Speaks on Winning Millions Cancellation

Americas Cardroom CEO Phil Nagy was to issue a statement and take questions from the chat room regarding Sunday’s cancellation of the highly anticipated Winning Millions.  A Denial of Service attack was believed to have been the culprit that caused freezing and abrupt shutdowns.

Sunday’s Winning Millions was billed as the biggest online poker tournament of its kind for poker players in North America in over three years.  It has been rescheduled for February 22.

The CEO issued this statement:

Creating a fair gaming experience for our members is our No. 1 priority. Due to circumstances out of our control, we were unable to provide a stable, fair gaming experience during the $1,000,000 GTD Winning Millions tournament. Many players timed out, while others remained connected.

Canceling the $1,000,000 GTD tournament was a heart-breaking decision. We worked arduously to bring poker back to America. We labored around the clock this week to try and sustain a stable environment for our players. We should have cancelled this tournament sooner, but we kept trying everything in our power to fix the issues.

We are committed to providing America with the GTD tournaments you deserve. We will succeed. We will fix the issues soon.

We will deliver a $1,000,000 GTD tournament on February 22nd, 2015.

To all our loyal members— thank you for your support. Your continued patronage keeps us fighting for you.
