Kentucky May Kill Online Gambling Permanently - PC World

[I Heart Gambling Online]

The state of Kentucky's attempt to block resident's access to 141 online gambling sites has proceeded to the next level, as a Franklin County Circuit Court judge refused Thursday to dismiss the case. Judge Thomas Wingate denied pleas by the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association and the Interactive Gaming Council. Arguments will be heard on November 17 before a ruling is made in this case that has been ongoing since September.

The civil action brought by Michael Brown, Secretary of Justice and Public Safety, and endorsed by Democratic Governor Steve Beshear, seeks seizure of 141 domain names of popular online gambling websites. The action claims these sites, including AbsolutePoker.com, CakePoker.com, FullTiltPoker.com and PokerStars.com, "promote or provide" illegal gambling in the state of Kentucky. It is within Kentucky's rights to seize any and all illegal gambling devices.
