PRESS RELEASE[/url] in an attempt to sieze 141 domain names of online gaming sites.
They issued a
ORDER OF SIEZURE OF DOMAIN NAMES on September 18, 2008 in the Franklin Circuit court of Kentucky.
This was all done secretly. The
Complete List of 141 Domain Names can be seen on page 3.
It includes:
FullTiltPoker.com
TruePoker.com
CakePoker.com
PokerHost.com
UltimateBet.com
BodogLife.com
DoylesRoom.com
....along with others.
The online gambling industry rushed to defend this. A hearing is scheduled for tomorrow (Friday).
The strategy was:
1) Get the order
2) Take the judgement to the domain registrars, who would most likely
3) Turn over the domain to the Kentucky Government
According to
Gambling 911, another round of domains were to be siezed after this one, which included non-wager taking casino name domains.
