Two of the legal battles facing Full Tilt Poker wrapped up today, both judges siding with Full Tilt.
In Pocket Kings, Ltd v. the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Kentucky
asked the judge to seize the domain name fulltiltpoker.com for allowing
gambling inside Kentucky, a violation according to Kentucky law.
Apparently, Kentucky doesn't get to set the rules for the rest of the world. Who would have thought that? In April 2009, Bodog.com regained the right to use their domain name after Kentucky seized it in 2007.
In Tiltware, LLC v. Clonie Gowen,
the judge ruled that Mrs. Gowen failed to prove that she had an oral
agreement with Full Tilt Poker that stipulated she should receive $40
million in damages. Mrs. Gowen has the option to have her case heard again on October 29, 2009.
