Tokwiro Enterprises's sister online poker sites,
Absolute Poker.com and UltimateBet.com, have banned Kentucky residents with immediate effect, joining other online poker networks like
Cake Poker, Merge Poker, and Microgaming Poker in excluding residents of the state.
Emails to Kentucky-resident players on the Cereus poker network where
UltimateBet and AP action takes place read "We regret to inform you that, effective immediately, AbsolutePoker.com/UltimateBet.com is no longer available to Kentucky residents. This means that you will not be able to access our website and software from within the state boundaries of Kentucky."
Players are directed to a link in order to access the Support and Cashier services of the two sites.
Kentucky players have not been entirely deserted, however -- the
PokerStars, Full Tilt and
Bodog poker companies are still open to them.
Time for everybody to take action to protect your rights.
