The Justice Cabinet just released a statement indicating that illegal gambling sites are beginning to comply with an earlier ruling

Apparently several of these sites have begun blocking access to Kentucky users. But don’t forget that it’s impossible to always know for certain if someone is within the Commonwealth of Kentucky. You can close accounts of Kentuckians but that’s about it.

Here’s part of the release:

In advance of the forfeiture hearing, operators of these sites have already begun blocking Kentucky users. For example, Goldencasino.com notified Kentucky account holders on Tuesday that the site will “no longer accept play from residents of Kentucky,” and that users’ accounts were being closed.

Registrars in the United States and foreign countries have complied with the court’s order and transferred the domain names to an account held by the Commonwealth.
