Delisle Objects to Domain Seizure

The Kentucky domain name seizure case has gained some very serious international attention this week from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. The KGC is one of the largest licensing jurisdictions for online casinos and internet gambling companies and many of the sites on Kentucky Governor Steve Beshears list objectionable sites are licensed by the KGC and will be negatively affected by the proposed domain name seizure. The head of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake, Grand Chief Michael Ahríhrhon Delisle, Jr, sent an official letter of objection this week to the Kentucky Governor strongly protesting the current anti-online casino gambling legislation.

The letter was quite firm and laid out the Commission’s strong concerns that the proposed legislation will violate the rights of the online casinos in question and also noted that the KGC planned to go to any lengths necessary to “protect [the] jurisdiction and the integrity of the Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission.”

The Kentucky government ordered a seizure of 141 domain names of online casino gambling sites that operated in the Kentucky market at some point in the past year. The Order of Seizure was immediately contested and the case is now in the Kentucky courts and the internet gambling companies are left waiting for a resolution. The internet casinos are still able to maintain their status quo and offer all of the same gambling services until a ruling is passed in the case.

The KGC’s letter specifically outlined that the Commission felt the Kentucky legislation was unacceptable and that the actions outlined in the proposed legislation are more specifically what are unacceptable. The KGC has spoken out on the issue and will protect its licensed online casinos until this case finds an appropriate resolution.
