GOLDEN PALACE ONLINE CASINO ADVERTISING SUSPENDED IN COLORADO

Pepsi Center plays it safe and remove Golden Palace ONline Casino Advertising

Further developments have taken place in Colorado, where a journalist reported on Golden Palace Online Casino advertising at the Pepsi Center and on television in the state recently (see previous Online-Casinos.com report)

The owners of the stadium, Kroenke Sports have decided to temporarily halt the Golden Palace Online Casino advertising of internet gambling Web sites at sporting events.

State Attorney General John Suthers told CBS4's Rick Sallinger that it's not just online casino gambling that is against the law. "If someone promotes, aids or abets an illegal activity like online casino gambling, they can be responsible for that," Suthers said.

Besides ads for online casino gaming in the arena, there are commercials aired on the Altitude network during sporting events.

Kroenke initially issued a statement saying: "We have been assured that Goldenpalace does not engage in sports betting and like many other media outlets in Colorado, we have entered into these advertising agreements believing them to be legitimate."

Kroenke Sports officials said they want to meet with Suthers for advice before making their next move.
