Breaking News: Nevada Is Getting Ready for Legal Online Poker
The State of Nevada has proposed bills to regulate online poker within the state.
A few days after California declared that they will not deal with the regulation of online poker in 2011, the State of Nevada has issued bills in connection with online poker on the 24th August.
Among the bills, there is one regulating customer attendance and how to solve the problems concerning technological licenses and data entry. The bills will be refined in public 'workshops', the first of which will be held on the 26th September.
These steps that Nevada has taken can be the premonitory signs of the nationwide legalization of online poker. Mark Lipparelli, Chairman of the Gaming Control Board that has issued the bills mentioned above has briefly shared his thoughts on the topic:
“Internet poker has become a multibillion-dollar business around the world. The technology supporting it, while not perfect, has improved dramatically since introduction. There is no better home for ‘iGaming’ in the U.S. than in Nevada,[...] The Board has successfully regulated the gaming industry for more than 50 years and is clearly best positioned to establish and administer a balanced set of regulations that allows a new form of commerce to begin and upholds our regulatory principles protecting the betting public."
Nevada will strive to offer high-level online games for the players, “giving players as much confidence as possible in the entities and technologies that might eventually gain approval, [...]”
Mr. Lipparelli also mentioned that because they do not yet know what exactly the new laws will contain, they tried to handle regulations as flexibly as possible. They are looking ahead of a long process, and there is great chance that these bills will be modified multiple times.
