It is not clear who is winning the Kentucky court case, online casinos or the commonwealth.  Though it is apparent to all involved, Kentucky has committed an outrageous action in seizing the domain names of 141 online casinos, online casino companies continue to pull out of Kentucky, thereby validating the threats.

Gamers in the United States recently mourned the loss of Microgaming as the software provider choose to withdraw from the entire US market.  Now Tokwiro have begun refusing wagers from Kentucky.

Tokwiro is playing it safe.  Tokwiro is regulated by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission and is currently owned by a former chief of the Kahnawake.  Their decision to pull out of Kentucky was made in order to protect the company against any adverse ruling in Kentucky. 

Most legal experts see the dangerous and outrageous nature of the Kentucky case and fully believe that any one of several reasons will cause the case to be overturned.  Unfortunately nothing is certain.  If the appeals court should side with the original ruling of circuit court Judge Thomas Wingate, online casinos could be in trouble.

Tokwiro operates two of the biggest poker rooms on the Internet, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet.  Both these gambling site recently got a lot of publicity as they were featured in a story on Sixty Minutes.   The story centered around cheating at online casinos.  The CEREUS poker network emerged as a result of two sites coming together.  CERUS is the third larges online poker network for players in the United States.
