What are They Thinking?

The Kentucky officials seem to be setting themselves up for ridicule this week with continued progress on the legislation that attempts to seize the domain names of more than 140 online casinos that allegedly operate in the US and Kentucky gambling markets. Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear has been widely criticized in online casino gambling industry because of the sheer scope and impropriety of the proposed legislation. A Kentucky court is currently holding out on a judgment on whether the seizures are legal – most in the industry are issuing a resounding “no.”

While the courts are still out on the proposed legislation many in the online casino gambling industry have carefully examined the list of affected gambling sites – some of the sites are invalid and/or have been out of the market for months now! The entire process seems to have come out of left field and most speculate that there is little chance that the proposed Kentucky legislation will hold up in the Federal courts (assuming that it is even able to pass in the Kentucky courts).

Some are calling this whole debacle a complete farce – the lack of thorough research, time, and effort put into the proposed legislation is very apparent. Many online casinos in Europe have asserted nonchalance concerning the issue, merely noting that their domains were registered in the UK and therefore untouchable by the US courts and state governments.

The farcical quality of the whole process was highlighted as well by the seemingly nonsensical and basic assertions from a handful of Kentucky politicians who have remarked on the issue.
