HEADLINE: Poker Networks Begin to Block Kentucky Resident's Access

Body:
Merge Poker Network was first to publicly announce they would block IP addresses of Kentucky residents to any of their network sites (regardless whether they were named in Kentucky Governor Beshear's 141 domains seizure list). Now, Microgaming Poker Network has made it known they too will begin blocking Kentucky residents, starting Oct 30, 2008.

The move comes after a judge last week upheld the seizure order for 141 online gaming domain names requested by Kentucky Governor Beshear, with a caveat- to avoid having their domain name seized, the sites have until November 17, 2008 to prove they block access to Kentucky residents (click here for related article).

This means that Microgaming will now block acess to their poker and casinos products from residents of 13 U.S. states: Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin and Utah.

The Microgaming Poker Network includes such sites as CoolHandPoker, Crazy Poker, DoylesRoom, Ladbrokes Poker, Poker Host, and Poker Time.

Sites on the Merge Poker Network include CarbonPoker.com, ReeferPoker.com, PokerNordica.com and Walker Poker.
