Online Casinos Celebrate

The Kentucky situation has really caused quite a stir over the past four months – the online casinos were worried that they would lose their domain names to seizure attempts by the State of Kentucky. Then, when the entire case went to the courts, the industry was amazed that Judge Wingate ruled that the domain name seizure was legal for the online casinos that did not back out of the Kentucky market within 30 days. This ruling was a major blow to the gambling industry and to internet rights as a whole. And although many of the internet casinos responded to the ruling by backing out, organizations like the PPA, SBGlobal, and others decided to pool their efforts and fight the ruling.

Last month’s announcement that the Kentucky Court of Appeals appealed the previous ruling was a major victory for the online casinos and the internet poker gambling sites. The PPA really led most of the major force against the Kentucky ruling, so it is with great relief and sense of victory that PPA Executive Director John Pappas released a public statement about the victory in the Kentucky cases. Pappas elaborated on the decision and the fact that it was a positive development for the more than 130,000 Kentucky poker players that are registered with the PPA.

The case was one by the online casino gambling industry in the Appeals Court and now the ball has been thrown back to the State of Kentucky – there is no indication yet if the Kentucky government plans to further pursue this issue.
