The interstate online poker website will also have a number of benefits for casinos and online poker companies. For instance, by consolidating players on a single website, casinos and online poker operators will receive a greater return on their marketing efforts and be able to offer players a wider range of poker products.
The passage of an amendment to Nevada's online poker law allows Nevada's governor to reach agreements to create joint player pools with residents of other states. Since then, Nevada has entered into an interstate online poker compact with Delaware, and New Jersey will soon follow.
Despite the fact that the interstate online poker website received approval from the Nevada Gaming Control Board, it will still need the approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission before it may go live. The Nevada Gaming Commission is scheduled to make a ruling on the matter on July 24, 2014. We will keep our readers updated with any further developments regarding this issue.
