Reacting to a court ruling in the State of Kentucky, Microgaming has announced it will restrict (ban) access to all of its poker platforms from thirteen states in the U.S. Citing "laws already on the books but not being enforced" the blocks will go into effect "within the time period for the Kentucky ruling", which is now less than 30 days.
The states to be blocked are: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin, and Utah.
The gaming websites that run on the Microgaming platform are most notably: Doyles's Room, Gnuf and all Eurolinx affiliates.
Once again the various political entities in the U.S. are legislating at cross purposes much like the confederacy of the European Union. While the U.S. Federal government is moving to regulation, tax and control online poker; individual states are seeking to restrict internet access and control the hearts, minds and wallets of their citizens.
