Recently, the website of one of the largest online casino software providers on the web was inaccessible, prompting rumours that it had been seized in the current Kentucky online gambling crisis.
The mass domain name seizure of online gaming sites by the Kentucky government has dominated the headlines of online casino sites. Plans to seize 141 domain names later this month as part of Governor Steve Beshear’s drive against online gambling are being contested in court.
Microgaming seemed to be one of the most targeted sites for unknown reasons, being mentioned in the hearings by attorneys multiple times.
'[Governor Beshear] has it out for Microgaming,' conveyed Joe Brennan, Jr., Founder of The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association, one of the organizations fighting the Kentucky action. 'Nobody seems to know why they keep bringing them up.'
