iMEGA Challenges Minnesota Online Gambling Site Ban

[Shame About Ray]

Many people believe that the Minnesota Department of Public Safety went above their jurisdiction when they ordered Internet service providers to ban access to online gambling sites. The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association is now prepared to challenge the state in court.

iMEGA believes that simply going to a gambling website is not illegal under Minnesota law. While online gambling is illegal, people have right, according to iMEGA, to go to the sites and look at the content if they wish. They are challenging the notices that were sent to eleven communication companies.

"The notices state that the gambling opportunities available on the sites are 'illegal within Minnesota.' Regardless of whether this is an accurate statement of the law, merely visiting the sites and perusing their content is not illegal in Minnesota...," read the complaint.
