Pony Up the Online Casino Sites

The Kentucky legislative situation has caused quite a bit of controversy and confusion within the state in the past several weeks. The newly proposed legislation to seize the domain names of online casino gambling sites as a way to enforce an internet gambling ban in the state has a slew of opponents and the controversy around the world is heating up. The presiding judge in the case, Judge Wingate, authorized the temporary seizure of domain names and is now waiting for both sides to submit arguments for debate that the Judge can then examine before making his ruling. Initial impressions of the situation do not look awfully positive and the judge at one point made a specific note to the domain name registrars objecting to the legislation that they may have to release the names of their clients.

The online casino gambling industry is in a very peculiar position right now as the registrars fight for the right to control the domain names of domestic and foreign sites licensed through their company without revealing the names of the sites they hold. Federal US legislation has banned online casinos from operating in the US market and the executives at sites that continue to offer internet gambling services to US gamblers likely have sealed arrest warrants that come into effect if the executives step foot on US soil.

The fact that representatives from the online casinos cannot step on US soil themselves makes this situation all the trickier and could prove sticky if Judge Wingate does in fact force the companies to “pony up and say who these people are.” Much of the opposition to the proposed Kentucky legislation is on principle alone and those companies associated with the controversial US online gambling industry are reticent to start listing names.
