Online Casino Domains and Gambling News
This week's online gambling news is full of some controversy as well as some exciting new products that are hitting the gaming community right now, including one shrouded in secrecy!
The main topic this week though is the news surrounding the Kentucky Court case that's trying to steal 141 online casino domains from their owners. The Case, unprecedented in online history seems, in our eyes, simply crazy. Basically, the state of Kentucky is saying that due to it being illegal to gamble there, any casino that can be accessed by Kentucky citizens is illegal and therefore should become property of Kentucky itself.
We wonder how this will work with religion! Can you imagine the uproar if one religious state decided to close down all the Worldwide sites of other religions!! Havoc! A crazy idea that's set to come back to court on the 6th October - hopefully someone with a little sense will see the craziness of this idea and throw it out. Of course, with Kentucky hosting the largest horse race in the World, they wouldn't be trying to protect their own gambling income, now would they?
