- Sen. Mike Wilson, R-Bowling Green is looking at making online gambling illegal in Kentucky.

He says there are online gambling cafes across the state including right here in Bowling Green.

Wilson pre-filed a bill for the 2015 legislative session known as BR 229 that can come up for discussion next year.

Sen. Wilson says online gambling is currently in a bit of a legal gray area, but his bill would make it illegal.

"What they've done is they've taken away the charitable gaming from people like our veterans who are the VFW and the American Legion, which I'm a member there also. As well as, the Knights of Columbus, it's really hurt them big time," said Wilson.

Wilson says he wants to make sure this language gets into law, so there can be no more questions about it and no more online gambling cafes.
