The deal is subject to approval by the shareholders of Full Tilt. Should the deal be approved, it could pave the way for the troubled online poker site to begin repaying its customers.

SubjectPoker.com confirmed through multiple sources that Full Tilt CEO Ray Bitar e-mailed shareholders about the agreement.

“I am pleased to announce that today the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Groupe Bernard Tapie (GBT) have reached an agreement in principle regarding the acquisition of the companies comprising Full Tilt Poker (FTP),” said Bitar in the e-mail. “My understanding is the deal provides that in exchange for an agreed upon payment by GBT, and a GBT commitment to assume responsibility for payment of ROW (rest of world) players, DOJ will reimburse U.S. players and settle the outstanding civil litigation with the companies comprising FTP.”

Full Tilt Poker announced in September that Groupe Bernard Tapie had agreed to purchase the online poker room and its assets. It said in a statement that the deal would include "the repayment of Full Tilt Poker’s world-wide players in full."

Reports that SA may soon legalise online gambling - following the findings of a gambling commission, which are being debated by a committee in Parliament - raises some serious concerns about the impact this may have on consumer's personal finances, says Gavin Came, chair of the financial planning committee at the Financial Intermediaries Association of Southern Africa (FIA).

'While for some people gambling could be a harmless pastime; it could also turn into a very real problem,' he is quoted as saying in a report on the News 24 site. 

'Consumers often panic when they find themselves in a difficult financial situation and making gambling facilities easier to access may result in a spike in excessive gambling, particularly for those who can least afford to do so. This is especially true ahead of the festive season, when people want to treat themselves and their loved ones. However, it is vital that if one does not have the money to spend, they don't try to gamble their way ahead.'

Mainland Chinese visitors line up to get into the Galaxy Macau on May 15. The Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau said Tuesday that casino operators collected $3.36 billion in gaming revenues during October, a 42.3 percent jump from a year earlier.

Macau's gaming revenues soared to a new single-month record in October, fueled by the Chinese holiday of Golden Week.

The Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau said Tuesday that casino operators collected gaming revenues of 26.9 billion patacas, or $3.36 billion. The figure was a 42.3 percent increase over October 2010.

The single-month total eclipsed by roughly 8 percent the previous one-month record set in August.

Through October, Macau gaming revenues are up 45 percent over the same 10 months in 2010.

Macau, which has 34 casinos, including properties operated by Wynn Resorts Ltd., Las Vegas Sands Corp. and MGM Resorts International, is the world's largest gaming market.

In 2010, Macau casinos collected more than $23.5 billion in gaming revenues, five times from what was collected by Strip hotel-casinos.

Analysts said the market has absorbed the May opening of the Galaxy Macau in the Cotai Strip.

Stifel Nicolaus Capital Markets gaming analyst Steven Wieczynski said October's results contradicted Chinese media reports of an economic slowdown in the region.

"The results continue to reflect a widening disconnect between mainstream media reports and what operators are actually experiencing on the ground," Wieczynski said in a report to investors.

Macau's news agency reported that unofficially, Las Vegas Sands has 14 percent of the gaming market by revenue, Wynn Resorts had 13 percent and MGM Resorts held 11.2 percent.

Susquehanna International Group gaming analyst Rachael Rothman called the results "bullish" for Macau operators, given concerns the Chinese economy was softening.

"Gaming revenues bounced back in a record-setting way following a September in which trends disappointed expectations," Rothman told investors. "October's result was slightly better than growth rate trends rumored earlier on in the month. Trends encouragingly accelerated post-Golden Week."
