 It looks like popular domain name registrar ENOM is complying with the online domain name seizure order issued by a Kentucky judge to the delight of Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear. Earlier today Point-Spreads.com reported that LuckyPyramidCasino.com was seized and now a second domain name HighRollersLounge.com has its administrative contact information listed as Eric Lycan from the Commonwealth of Kentucky Justice Cabinet.Founded in Bellevue, Washington in 1997 as a privately held company, eNom is a leading online provider of domain name registration and other online services to small and home-based businesses, individuals, traffic aggregators and resellers. eNom is the second largest domain name registrar worldwide, and the number one registrar for resellers, with the largest, most active distribution network in the domain industry. eNom is accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). While these brands are not all that popular, the effects of the news has online gambling operators scrambling. The entire industry has descended on Barcelona this week for parties and networking so the seizures have caught some operators off guard. News of the online gambling domain names is the talk of internet gambling conference EiG as you can well imagine. Several top brands that are in jeopardy include GoldenPalace.com, WSEX.com, SportsBetting.com, FullTiltPoker.com, PokerStars.com CakePoker.com, DoylesRoom.com and several others. Point-Spreads.com broke the news about Kentucky’s effort to steal online gambling domain names yesterday morning and the industry has had little time to react. Point-Spreads.com expects the seizures to continue over the next several days and hopefully this will be a wake up call for internet and e-commerce companies providing services to the United States.                         |
