At long last I have actually managed to get hold of a source within the Governor’s office! They confirmed a few things. Firstly, the government isn’t looking for any sort of taxation regarding online casinos. They just want to drive the online casino industry out of Kentucky. The residual damage of freezing the domains doesn’t concern them. The other issue as most people suspected is the protection of the horse racing gambling industry within Kentucky. Currently people from all over the place can place online bets on races being held in Kentucky. I suspect they expect a lot of business to come there way when the .coms get driven out, especially those involved in sports betting. The official stance as far as the Kentucky Governor’s office is concerned the online casino industry is completely illegal. They are concerned about these foreign online casino operations “preying” on their citizens. By the way, I can’t tell you how exciting it was to actually speak with a real live person within the Governor’s office!
