Ultimate Bet Customers Connecting from IP Addresses in Kentucky Will Be Unable to Play
Thursday, December 4, 2008 - CMO
In order to fully comply with the Franklin County (Kentucky) Circuit Court’s recent orders, Ultimate Bet is restricting access to Kentucky state residents.
In complying with the Court’s orders, UB has agreed to implement an IP Block on UltimateBet websites (both .net and .com), plus utlimatebet.tv. The Block will prevent players with IP addresses originating inside the Commonwealth of Kentucky from playing using UB software, logging in or registering a new account, making deposits to the cashier, and transferring or receiving funds from other players. The IP Block will allow players with IP addresses originating in Kentucky to make withdrawals of existing account funds, but these players will not be able to make any new deposits or transfers.
This action has taken place in order to ensure that the vast number of UB customers, who do not reside in Kentucky, continue to have access and to enjoy playing online poker without disruption or inconvenience.

I live in Indiana so why can’t I play now??? Seems like the Kentucky thing is messing with people that don’t even live there.

I live in Ky. I only played “play chips” on UB. What right does the Governor have to restrict my access? This is something you might see in Red China. It’s a slippery slope when the state can simply block a website it doesn’t like. Doesn’t the Constitution protect my freedom of association? I wasn’t breaking any laws why am I being penalized?
