Domains are a Vulnerable Target

The Kentucky government has announced a new plan that is to specifically target the online casinos and internet gambling sites that illegally access US gamblers – and Kentuckians more specifically. The US has specific legislation in place that is intended to ban offshore online casinos from accessing any US gamblers but because of the pervasive nature of the internet and the flaws within the UIGEA, internet gambling companies continue to target the US market. The new concern though for internet gambling operators though is the vulnerability of their domain names. Online casinos have the ability to block gamblers from a specific state or jurisdiction and that is precisely what the Kentucky government has planned for the industry.

All online casino gambling operators who still target US gamblers and have a US registered domain name could face legal action and the loss of their domain name if it is within reach of the Kentucky government. The online caisno gambling industry has taken a close look at the state’s current gambling laws and although the government supports the legislative carve-outs that positively affect the horseracing industry; the Kentucky government is seriously looking to ban online gambling in the state.

Some of the reasons for the impending legal bans on online casino gambling in the state have to do with the fact that the industry is increasingly dangerous as the US government has no regulatory control over which sites are targeting U.S. citizens. Another concern raised by the state concerns minors and problem gamblers accessing the sites – the seizure of domain names of these online gambling sites would give the state of Kentucky the power to affect change and force compliance from the internet gambling sites.
