About. Fucking. Time.
On the last day of iGNA, an unexpected gift dropped from the poker heavens.
The Nevada state legislature met on Thursday regarding the intrastate poker bill that’s been kicking around for awhile. Looking to beat New Jersey and Delaware to the punch, the Assembly Judiciary Committee passed an amended intrastate bill, and Governor Brian Sandoval signed it into law.
The new bill will help solve a major Nevada intrastate issue: liquidity. Or in layman’s terms, nobody lives in Nevada, so nobody will make money on an online site without signing compacts with other states. The new bill will allow such aforementioned compacts.
Said Sandoval:
“This is an historic day for the great state of Nevada. Today I sign into law the framework that will usher in the next frontier of gaming in Nevada. This bill is critical to our state’s economy and ensures that we will continue to be the gold standard for gaming regulation.”

The jockeying for position for when online poker is regulated keeps heating up.
In yet another “jockeying for position once the U.S. opens up” move, the Nevada Gaming Control Board will begin taking applications for intrastate online poker licenses beginning in February 2012.
From Vegasinc.com:
Mark Lipparelli, chairman of the Control Board, told industry professionals attending the two-day U.S. Online Gaming Law conference at Aria last Thursday that the agency would be geared to begin investigations that month.
Lipparelli said the process should be quicker for companies already holding other licenses in Nevada. Once licensed, companies would be able to offer online poker play within the state’s boundaries in closed-loop settings similar to the way some companies offer sports betting online or by telephone.
Companies still wouldn’t be allowed to offer online poker play to people living outside Nevada’s borders.
