    Hi there,

    I thought I would post some info here for any online poker companies who are affected by the Kentucky court order.

    One of my domains is listed on the Kentucky court order so I am working with legal guys to get this resolved, however I was recomended to transfer my domains out of the US to a UK registrar and the registrar that was recomended was safenames.net. They have assisted atleast 30 companies, I trust them as they look after Full Tilt Poker, Bodog and guaranteed they will not transfer my domain.

    I then transferred all my 970 domains to the privacy service at Safenames, it took in total 6 days to get this done and they have offered me an IP restriction DNS service to block Kentucky from accessing my sites.

    I do recomend these guys as they are fast and are heavily involved in the court order and best of all they have assured me they will not comply with any court order issued from the US.

    that helps the domains but does nothing for the player themselves. Just because because you move the domain does not mean that state won't go after the player

    I understand the need to protect your business, but simply pulling up stakes out of the states that are using this law incorrectly is a slippery slope that will eventually find every state taking the same action and we will be without online poker altogether after a shor time. This is extortion plain and simply. Ketucky is telling the dot coms that if they pay 1 billion dollars they will not take the domain name... Extortion.
