Why did the Dot Coms Disappear?

Internet gamblers heading to their favorite online casino gambling sites might be in for a bit of a surprise this week – companies large and small are protecting their interests from plans that are brewing in the Kentucky government. Kentucky Governor Beshear seems intent to put legislation in place that will block the online casinos from accessing Kentuckians – the question though still resounds…is it legal? Internet gambling companies in the UK brushed off the initial reports that the Kentucky government planned to seize control of the domain names of any online gambling company operating for the US market. But as the proposal takes form and it seems actually possible that the ridiculous legislation could pass through the government, the internet casinos are protecting the assets by buying the .co.uk version of their domain names.

The Kentucky government is looking to pass legislation that would allow the Kentucky officials to seize the domains of online casinos operating from all over the world and then hold the domains as collateral to ensure that the gambling sites block Kentucky gamblers from accessing the sites. Many analysts have noted that the legislation may be outright illegal, but to be on the safe side some online casino gambling companies have looked into domain names out of the jurisdiction of US authorities and officials.

The only sites who have protected their site with an additional domain name are online casinos belonging to Star Partners. Sites still run on the .com domain but now also have an alternative URL. Some of the sites that have implemented the changes include: CrazyVegasCasino, CrazyPoker, CasinoUS, MapleCasino, RiverNileCasino, and others. The new domain names have the same base but have substituted the .com for a .co.uk or .net.
