“”The Domain names shall be immediately transferred by their respective registrars to an account of the Commonwealth of Kentucky “”.

The domains seized include: (the full list is on the adobe file)

• fulltiltpoker.com
• indiancasino.com
• bet21.com
• allslots.com
• bodoglife.com
• bookmaker.com
• SportsBook.com
• SportsBetting.com

The lesson? Don’t register .us domains or hold your domain names with an American registrar. US State government may confiscate your property, your branding, contact information and business identity if you violate some arbitrary moral standard.
