Bet On The Next State To Ban Pornhub Following Texas Prohibition

Online pornography enthusiasts in the Longhorn State may have lost their smile now that Pornhub, one of the most visited websites on the planet, is no longer allowing access from within Texas.

The blockage was initiated on March 14th following an Appellate Court’s decision to uphold an age-verification requirement that Porhub was challenging. While entering your birthdate to enter a website for an alcohol manufacturer or tobacco company has been commonplace for years, TX now requires verification via a state ID number or a third-party operator.

Naturally, those who partake in the viewing of sexually explicit material would prefer to keep their activities confidential. Rather than put their users at risk, Pornhub has geo-blocked anyone in the state from viewing the site.

There is no direct banning of access to sexual content online at Pornhub or other popular providers by this Texas law, and it is not a violation of the right to free speech according to the latest judgment.

Still, lawmakers around the nation are no fans of Pornhub or any other site like it, and other states could follow this Texas template as a means to get rid of the porn giant.

Online entertainment sportsbooks are now taking bets on the next state where access to Pornhub could be interrupted.

Savvy readers may have noticed that the top handful of states featured in these Pornhub ban odds are located in the southeast. Conservative lawmakers in the Southeastern United States are certainly paying attention to what’s going on in TX, with Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas leading the betting odds.

Utah has declared pornography to be a public health crisis in the past, so we like their chances of mimicking Texas lawmakers in the near future.

While Michigan is by no means conservative, its leadership tends to headline grab. We like the Wolverine State as a sleeper contender.

  • Idaho +2500
  • Illinois +2500
  • Minnesota +2500
  • Rhode Island +2500

  • Wisconsin +3300
  • Connecticut +3300
  • Vermont +3300
  • Massachusetts +3300
  • New Hampshire +3300

This grouping is an oddball mix of regions, including minutely populated outposts and bloated gambling meccas. From these states, Illinois is a strong candidate, as its state legislature is full of grand-standing, big-city politicians who will not hesitate to adopt a nationally recognized stance.

Next State To Ban Pornhub Odds

  • California +5000
  • Colorado +5000
  • Nevada +6600

These final three states are liberal strongholds where locals have no interest in anything that threatens personal privacy. Nevada’s odds put them in a distant last place and are just one digit away from including the “number of the beast” in the moneyline.
