Earlier in 2008 you may have heard of the large court case that the state of Kentucky made against online casinos and how they were taking away from the economy of that state. In particular there were 141 domain names that were to be seized depending on the ruling of the courts. Luckily for the online casinos that seizure of the domain names will not occur- at least not for now.

It turned out that under Kentucky law the names of the domains did not fall under any gambling infraction and could not be seized which overruled a previous ruling that occurred in October of 2008. Poker sites are breathing a small sigh of relief as several popular names in online casinos such as Bodog and Full Tilt Poker were targets of the ban.
