Poker News Daily has confirmed that Cake Poker is no longer accepting new customers from the state of Kentucky. A reliable source at Cake Poker told Poker News Daily, “We still continue to accept U.S. players, except players from Kentucky.” The ban on new players from Kentucky went into effect about a week ago.

The trouble in Kentucky started in September when its Governor, Steve Beshear, ordered the seizure of 141 internet gambling domain names. They included those belonging to popular online poker rooms PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, Ultimate Bet, Absolute Poker, Doyle’s Room, and Cake Poker. In a court room in Frankfort, Kentucky, the state’s capital, lawyers for the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC) and Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA) argued that Kentucky did not have jurisdiction to seize domain names, that violations of due process occurred, and that Beshear’s actions infringed on the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution.
