Battling in the Courts

Just last month it seemed as though an end was in sight for the online casino gambling industry in regards to some of the ridiculous requests and actions from the Kentucky State government. A ruling last month by the Appellate Courts sided with the registrars and the online casinos by ruling that the state government had no authority to seize the domain names of gambling sites as a way to exercise control over those sites. Now though, the issue is, surprisingly, making its way to the Kentucky Supreme Court.

There are few in the online casino gambling industry, and in the Kentucky government in fact, that had any inkling that Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear intended to take this issue to the highest court in the state. Mainly, the doubt stemmed from the fact that there is no way that the Kentucky government will ever get the authority, in the long run, to seize the domain names of online casinos and other sites that allegedly violate certain state laws…the internet is an global product that cannot solely operate under the control of the US state governments…that’s a bit presumptuous in fact.

Basically, the governor and those siding with the State of Kentucky over the online casinos and gambling companies facing domain name seizure are appealing this last ruling to the Kentucky Supreme Court in hopes that the SC will overturn the previous ruling and once again allow the state to seize the domain names of those sites that do not comply with Kentucky’s mandate that exit the Kentucky online gambling market.
