Pennsylvania intra-state online gambling law ready
The proposed legislation has been in the works since late last year and its licensing procedure would only consider operators that already hold land-based table and slot licences. The measure would moreover stipulate that all games be run via venues’ existing websites while the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board would be tasked with inspecting and approving online gambling software and devices.
In addition, players would be required to establish an account via one of the licensed facilities using an active bank account before competing online while sites would be prohibited from offering credit. Players would also be obliged to sign an agreement preventing them from letting others access their accounts.
Davis’ proposal is due to first be put before the House Gaming Oversight Committee in Harrisburg where it must be approved before moving on to the full House of Representatives for a vote. The prospects of the measure passing depend on ‘whether there is enough appetite in the House to do it’, according to Bill Thomas, the Committee’s Democrat Executive Director, as the body’s Republican majority has been ‘mostly anti-gaming’ in the past.
