Kentucky Seizes 141 Gambling Domains

 Well the big news is about a Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear fighting for the rights of Kentucky citizens. He feels that his citizens are losing “tens of millions of dollars” a year to unregulated and unlicensed online gambling. I would like to know who these players are I have not found them yet on any sites.

Ok here is what is going to happen on the 25th. This coming Thursday all gaming sites listed in the court case have to show up and show just cause why they should not have their domain name taken from them. Since the law was put into effect against online gaming in the US we all know that none of the sites will have a representative at the hearing. If this court case goes through the companies that had their domains registered through US domain registrants will lose their domain names. How will this effect you and your gaming? Several sites are already purchasing new names from overseas registries Crazypoker.com after the 25th would be Crazypoker.co.uk. Wow he succeeded in making a company spend $5 to register a new domain name.

If a state that has no laws on the books outlawing online gaming can seize a web site where will it stop. The laws on this are tricky only a US registered domain can be seized in a US court. If Georgia decides gambling on horses is bad for their citizens can the seize kentuckyderby.com? If Florida decides a search engine such as Yahoo, Google, Msn is bad for citizens since porn sites show up in a search can Florida seize the domain?
