Minnesota and Kentucky approach to online casino ban
 May 7, 2009, 8:15 am (2 years ago)The Minnesota Department of Public Safety has at present followed the movement state of Kentucky. They have both at this instant tried to prohibit their residents from entering Internet gambling websites, but their approaches differs from each other.
The state of Kentucky approached directly to the online gambling sites. They requested the court to confiscate 141 online gambling domain names. They succeeded to do so in the lower courts, but did not succeed in the Court of Appeals.
In the case of Minnesota, the Public Safety Department has ruled that Internet service suppliers reject access to a list of Internet gambling websites that were made. But the list does not contain probably the most well-liked online poker site in the world, PokerStars. Representative Pat Garofalo on Monday straight away reacted to the call for obstruction by putting forward his own legislation. "I'm surely not ignoring gambling. But I have serious concerns about government prohibiting access to websites," stated Garofalo, "This is the kind of thing they do in communist China, not the United States of America."
