Home History Games News Dictionary		Though its certainly understood that in the tough competitive market of online gambling, any means to attract new customers is a means that will at the very least be used by burgeoning new internet casinos, and sometimes exploited. The most recent theming to head a casino into trouble is that of Michael Jackson, whose image and music was apparently used without any legal consent whatsoever at the small, and rather roguish, internet casino Michael Jackson Casino.com The site is largely unknown for most legitimate gamblers, however, that fact will mean little when the Jackson family follows through on their promise to sue the operators for using his image and likeness illegally. The site is powered by Betsoft programming, a relatively well known name, which has representatives in the online gambling community wondering how they signed on to a deal without doing the background paperwork to find out if proper licensing had been achieved. According to a report by the social and pop publication TMZ, the Jackson family and legal team representing his estate will take whatever actions are necessary to get the site shut down, as his image and name cover the domain. The site hosts both internet casino games as well as sports betting services, reading the welcoming message, “The King of Pop is proud to bring you the most exciting Vegas style online casino betting experience on the Net!" Immediately following the news in online gambling forums of the site’s legal trouble, the domain name was shut down; all access has been cut off from the site until further notice. Though unconfirmed, it is thought that the change was made not by the site’s operators, but by Go Daddy.com, a webname registration service which sold the domain name to the perpetrators. They were named as in the $100 million lawsuit and have since said that they will comply with any court order in regards to the matter.
