OK we should all know about the recent decisions from the home of fried chicken and it got me thinking.
Is there a fall out from it?
Will more states follow suit in an attempt to completely block online gaming to the whole of the US?
I cant see it happening (if it does) for some time yet but its something that should be seriously considered for both casino properties and the affiliates that deal with players across the pond (US). Who knows what the future holds?
Do you have plans in place to counteract so that you stay in this business if the US is your primary/only only source of revenue?
It’s a little “simpler” for casinos to target new geographical areas as long as they make the right moves but competition will be fierce and those who stand out will come out on top.
It would be great to hear your thoughts on this, partly because this may be my first ever serious post on CAP!? :wink-wink

LOL Okay, I’ll think on a serious reply for ya and come back.
LOL thanks GamTrak. :hattip:
Well if Ky succeeds at keeping/controlling domains unless/until owners show up to contest the ruling, the other states don’t need to act, because KY will take all domains that allow visitors from KY.
If somehow a deal was made to only exclude KY players, other states could go to local or federal courts asking for a similar ruling for their state.
In general every state is going to oppose any gambling that they don’t control and more importantly tax. So unless/until the US government or the “several states” decide they want to license and tax online gaming, the status will remain as it is.
I left the US market 2 years ago when the law changed since the vast majority of my player base was at operators who left the US, it wasn’t worth it to me to restart in the US.
Well the fact that casino urls are erased is actually a good thing for us. Sounds crappy but its true as we are dynamic, we point them to the casino and the SEo work the casinos do is pointless, making us 10000% more valuable.
The URL’s havent been erased though, those affected have been given time (30 days) to put into place measures that prevent operators from ‘targetting’ Kentucky, basically IP banned them.
Anyone who fails to do so within the time frame will be reviewed once the 30 days are up and then its likely that the URL will be taken.
Good point chips.
As for the other states, US runs on common law, so having had one state succeed at this would allow/cause/support other states to point to KY as the reason their state courts or the federal court should uphold that method/strategy.
