Media Attention for Ban

The Washington State government has just made a move that is a bit extreme even for them. In the United States, Washington State is one of the strictest countries in terms of online caisno gambling bans – this is the only place in the world were merely gambling at the online casinos is a major offense. To additionally protect the state land gambling interests and further ban internet gambling, the state has sent a message to the public relations firm PRWeb to order a Cease and Desist on all press releases coming from the company that relate to the online casino gambling industry. PRWeb just released a press release to state that the company was going to adhere to the state’s request and take the same line as some of the other major players in the industry, Google and Yahoo!, and stop marketing efforts to online gambling related companies until more clear federal and state legislation passes.

This new move could actually cause some significant profit losses for the company because marketing and PR efforts for the online casinos accounted for a significant part of the company’s business – as much as five percent according to some estimations. This is just the latest debacle to take place in the US online casino gambling industry – the federal government is all mixed up on the issue and Kentucky, like Washington, is trying to take a very tough line with the online casinos.

This new Cease and Desist of press release distribution applies to all of the PR firms operating in the Washington market – PRWeb is just the first to have received the letter because the company very blatantly does business with the online casinos. Contracts that were signed by PRWeb with the internet gambling companies have been broken and monies repaid – the precise cost of this new development is unknown but, luckily, PRWeb operates within other industries and other clients.
