Nevada asks for interstate online poker recommendations

Signed into law last month by first-term Governor Brian Sandoval, Assembly Bill 14 allows the western state to enter into compacts with other states in order to offer interstate online poker with the Nevada Gaming Commission now required to formulate regulations implementing some aspects of the new law. “Accordingly, the Nevada Gaming Commission is hereby soliciting comments,” read a statement from the regulatory body.

“Interested and affected persons may file comments with the Nevada Gaming Commission’s Executive Secretary on or before April 12, 2013. Interested and affected persons may file reply comments with the Nevada Gaming Commission’s Executive Secretary on or before April 19, 2013.”

The Nevada Gaming Commission wants those interested in this issue to mail, fax or e-mail it with suggestions on topics including what issues it should consider putting in regulation relating to interstate agreements on interactive gaming and whether revenue sharing deals between signatory states should be based on the location of where a wager originated or the servers.

In addition, the Nevada Gaming Commission also wants to hear from those interested on who should handle potential player disputes if problems arise via interstate deals.

“Regulatory language will be drafted after comments are submitted and will be considered at a regulatory workshop yet to be scheduled,” read the statement from the Nevada Gaming Commission. “This notice is also posted on the Nevada Gaming Commission’s website at Gaming.NV.gov.”
