Still a Kentucky Problem

The United States has a very real problem with the regulation of the online casino gambling industry. The US currently still has federal legislation in place that blocks and bans the internet gambling companies from accessing the US market. In addition to the federal level legislation in place, the Kentucky State government is still in the spotlight for its questionable moves against the international gambling industry. The Kentucky government made international headlines with attempts to seize the domain names of some of the biggest online casinos in the world because those gambling sites offered internet gambling to Kentucky gamblers.

Here’s the stunning part of the whole situation – the Kentucky courts have actually upheld the seizure requests at times. This case has gone from the lowest of Kentucky courts in a simple battle between the State and the representatives for the online casinos, to a case that will now be heard before the Kentucky Supreme Court. Although the first court found the case mostly in favor of the state government’s request that online casino sites either leave the Kentucky market or face domain name seizure. That verdict was then appealed to the higher courts and then appealed again to the Supreme Court.

The Kentucky State governor, Steve Beshear, is really pushing the issue far beyond where most in the online casino gambling industry assumed that this would end. The Supreme Court in the state has agreed to hear the state’s appeal and a court date of October 22, 2009 has been set. There is a hop that at this point in time the SC will side with the rights of the online gambling industry and put an end to the ongoing ridiculous.
