Microgaming and the Kentucky kerfuffle - Online Bingo News

Microgaming is one of the leading online gaming software providers  in the world for casino, poker and online bingo games, yet the recent crackdown in the US state of Kentucky means that their domain name, www.microgaming.com, is under threat, along with 140 other domains.

Many conflicting reports have appeared over the last few days, saying that the Microgaming domain has been seized, that Microgaming bingo sites are pulling out of the US, or simply not allowing any new bingo online player registrations from Kentucky. Players have also reported that access to Microgaming sites is now also restricted from neighbouring US states including Nevada, Tennessee and Georgia.

Speculation is rife over the Microgaming situation and as no clear statement has yet been issued by the company, many casino and online bingo players are increasingly worried about the safety of their deposited funds, especially if Microgaming decides to completely withdraw from the US market to avoid any further such problems.

Reports say that Microgaming will be issuing a statement sometime today which should hopefully bring some clarification to the issue.
