Online Casinos Respond

The Kentucky government may be overstepping its boundaries with the announcement of planned legislation that could lead to the state government attempting to confiscate more than 140 domain names that are linked to online casino gambling. The current Kentucky governor is looking to completely block foreign and domestic online casinos from accessing Kentucky gambler – the enforcement plan includes shutting down the domain name for internet gambling sites that do not comply with the governor’s legislation blocking internet gambling. The US already has federal legislation in place that attempts to block the offshore internet casinos via banking transactions – this newly proposed method by the Kentucky government though has international implications that are raising concerns in the international gambling industry.

Fortunately for some of the major online casino gambling brands that accept US players, these sites are registered in the UK and therefore ought to be largely outside of the influence of US legislation. Some of the internet casinos that could be affected by the legislation have noted that they are actually largely unconcerned with the effects of this latest attempt by the US to ban online gambling.

According to recent reports in the industry, the major domain registration companies that count the popular online casinos among their clients plan to send representatives to Kentucky to fight the proposed legislation. This is the extent of their plans though because Com Laude and others assert that their domain names are not up for confiscation because they are registered in the UK rather than the US market.
