UltimateBet.com, Cake Poker Domain Names Seized

Oct 6 2008 - 8:08pm

Gambling911.com has learned that UltimateBet.com, CakePoker.com and DoylesRoom.com were among the online poker room domains that had been seized by the commonwealth of Kentucky Monday night via GoDaddy.com. That registrar turned over the certificate for a number of online poker rooms and gambling companies shortly after 5 pm EST. The sites were expected to come down later in the evening.

GoDaddy.com has decided to cooperate with the commonwealth.

Kentucky officials have asked Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate to forfeit control of 141 gambling Web sites to the state. A hearing in the case is scheduled for Tuesday.

Cake Poker, Doyles Room and UltimateBet are some of the largest online poker rooms. Cake is primarily serviced via the Sportsbook.com website.

Prosecutors advised the Internet Media Entertainment & Gaming Association of the seizure just hours before a hearing is to take place in Frankfort, Kentucky Tuesday morning.

Gambling911.com is in Frankfort covering these fast changing developments. Readers are advised to register and log in to the site for real time updates. Unregistered readers may be getting hour delays.

Sources?

Can you post your sources so we know if this is true or another G911 linkbait?

re: Sources?

Obviously another attention-seeking, unresearched post by G911. No substance here at all.

If this is not true, you

If this is not true, you guys really will be the National Enquirer of our industry. If it's just link bait, then really you are bottom of the barrel.
