This resulted in the Full Tilt Poker client stopping in the middle of tournaments and cash games. A later statement* by the AGCC confirmed further details relating to Full Tilt Poker and the players effected.

"(FULL TILT POKER) must from today cease to:
Register new customers
Accept deposits from existing customers
Allow existing customers to withdraw funds that are held in their accounts; and
Permit customers to participate in any form of poker game play or gambling transaction."

This latest statement means that players are not able to access the client and can not withdraw their funds. This means that Full Tilt Poker has been shut down until the review on 26th July.
